" When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."August James Sampson===IDENTITY===Full Name: August James Sampson Nickname(s): Sherlock Codename: Sherlock Alias(es): N/A Age: 17 Classification: Super Affiliation: Undecided ===PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION===
Hair Color: Dark brown; shaggy-ish; a little curl at the temples Eye Color: Light misty blue Height: 5’10” Weight: 130lbs Skin Tone: Light tan Other Traits: Tall and lanky Apparel: White button up shirts, jeans, nice shoes.
===POWERS===
Powers:
August's abilities may not be ones that are often thought of, or even considered powers, but they are perhaps the most useful. August has very keen eyesight, as well as a fast-processing brain. His observation skills are off the chart, and he will often catch things that no one else notices. His learning capabilities also exceed any other tested individual. Teach him how to play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on the piano, and the he'll come to you the next day with Mozart's "Symphony No. 40". He has photographic memory, and an uncanny ability to remember even the most ridiculous of facts. August's deduction and reasoning skills stand to rival that of the famous Mr. Holmes, which is where he acquired his nickname and codename.
Skills:
-Due to his incredible learning rate, August has mastered several different methods of hand-to-hand fighting, including but not limited to karate, taekwondo, and jiu-jitsu. He uses his knowledge from these things to help him in hand to hand combat, both in his own fighting and in observing the fighting styles of others to find weakness. -He also knows a little about fighting with weapons, such as swords, daggers/knives, and guns. However, this is a minimal knowledge, and more of just being able to identify the different weapons and styles, rather than actually knowing how to do it himself. -He can play most instruments, though he focuses mainly on the violin and the piano.
Weaknesses:
-stubborn
Equipment:
-Golden pocket watch from his father
===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===
Personality:
He is calm and quiet when around others, but when with those he considers friends and family, he becomes a bit more relaxed, though he's always been reserved due to his high-level of thinking. He also would rather sit back and observe than actually participate in anything, and so chooses to become part of the background in most things. Because of this, most would say he is shy and invisible, which is perfectly fine with him. August cares about others, and is sensitive to most people. However, he often hides this away behind facts, statistics, and observations. He is a little socially awkward, especially around girls, and this can come off as shy as well. He loves questions, and is always thinking of how to solve one thing or another. Though he may seem to not be paying attention to anything, especially when people call out his name several times to get his attention, he usually is busy puzzling out something or other that came up during the conversation.
Strengths:
-He learns new things very easily -He is very knowledgeable -He can read people's emotions, and often knows to say the right thing at the right moment.
Interests/Habits:
-spewing out random information that has nothing to do with the subject at hand, especially when wanting to change the subject or annoy others.
===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===
Living Family Members: Dash (Brother) Place of Origin: London, England Current City: New York City History:
August and his twin brother were born on August 15th, and for the first thirteen years life was good. Their mother was the daughter of a duchess, and their father a baron. The boys lived well in a small castle out of the hustle and bustle of futuristic London. The boys grew up in an old-fashioned way, home-schooled and associating with other home-schooled students.
The boys’ powers developed at an early age, August’s showing at the age of three months when he started talking. By the time he was two years old, August was fluent in three different languages, could solve advanced high-school calculus problems, and performed extraordinarily in deducting problems. This also contributed to his being home-schooled. August continued on this path, surpassing college at the age of seven. Over the next couple of years August grew in his powers. Everything changed on the twin’s 13th birthday when their father was killed by a mugger in front of August. After that, August became very solitary and quiet, even more so than his original personality. Their mother died of cancer two years later, leaving the twins alone at 15. They stayed with their tutor in their home until news of their amazing powers spread to reach Dr. John Malin in America. He contacted the boys and invited them to come stay at a private school in America. Not knowing what else to do, and needing to leave the home that reminded them of their dead parents, the boys accepted and enrolled in the school. There they learned to socialize and about the other races. Right after their 17th birthday, the two graduated from the private school and were brought to Dr. Malin’s HQ for the resistance to help out with the growing war.

"What was that? I’m sorry, but I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my awesomeness."Zachary Joseph Sampson===IDENTITY===Full Name: Zachary Joseph Sampson Nickname(s): Dash Codename: Dash Alias(es): N/A Age: 17 Classification: Super Affiliation: Undecided ===PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION===
Hair Color: Spikey, sandy blond hair Eye Color: Big green eyes Height: 5’9” Weight: 150lbs Skin Tone: Tan Other Traits: Nicely built, ripped, muscular, a real ‘ladies man’ Apparel: T-Shirts (but only when required *winky face* ), jeans/shorts, and tennis shoes.
===POWERS===
Powers:
Dash, as his name suggests, has the power of speed. Though there are others with this power, Dash is said to be the fastest of them all. Some have even gone as far as to call him the fastest being on earth. He can move at almost the speed of light, though most of the time he chooses to maintain a natural, slow, speed. His mind moves at the same pace of his powers, and so he processes things very fast. He also can talk very fast when he gets excited. Along with this is an increased strength, though he is by far not the strongest person. Much of this strength comes from a very strict workout schedule in which he works on mostly upper body and core, since his legs and lower body are very fit. Because of his speed, he has a super fast metabolism which keeps him fit and always hungry.
Skills:
-Dash is a real ladies man, and knows how to use his charm -Humorous -Making quick, split-second decisions, though they may not always be the best.
Weaknesses:
-The ladies -He’s very irresponsible and immature
Equipment:
-Carries around his mother’s wedding ring on a necklace
===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===
Personality:
Dash is a total ladies man. He has charm, style and swag. He deals with his pain through jokes and humor, and usually no one can tell when he’s upset. He loves to pull pranks, and so is a born practical joker. He is very sensitive to emotions, however, and can usually tell when he's crossed a line, though that doesn't always mean he stops crossing the line. Dash does need some help on knowing when to be serious, but most people over-look that as he always seems to break tense moods. He also is very full of himself, and cocky due to the fact that he’s never had to try to get a girl; most of the time it’s pick and choose from the gaggle following him. He's very much an attention-hog, and he loves the spotlight. He does have a theatrical flare, which makes his jokes and stories very entertaining. Beneath all that fun and happy exterior, though, is someone who is very lost. Ever since his dad's death, he's felt a weight around him, a guilt that if he had only been there, he could have saved his father. He's truly a very sweet guy, but it's side of him that no one has seen since his mother died, save in rare moments with his twin.
Strengths:
-he’s very loyal -knows how to break a tense mood -awesome friend
Interests/Habits:
-Ladies -Getting girls -Running

Dash and his twin brother were born on August 15th, and for the first thirteen years life was good. Their mother was the daughter of a duchess, and their father a baron. The boys lived well in a small castle out of the hustle and bustle of futuristic London. The boys grew up in an old-fashioned way, home-schooled and associating with other home-schooled students.
The boys’ powers developed at an early age, Dash beginning to walk at the age of two months, and running by the time he was four months old. His super speed kicked in about a year old, and strength followed after. He wasn’t near as smart as his twin, but he was smarter than the average man. He didn’t really enjoy being homeschooled, but he went along with it for his mother’s sake, as he was always a mommy’s boy.
Dash had gone with his mother for a special dinner-date the night of his and August's 13th birthday, and so wasn’t present at the brutal murder of his father. Since that day he’s been faced with the question, ‘What if I had been there?’, thinking to himself that he could have saved his father.
Their mother died of cancer two years later, leaving the twins alone at 15. They stayed with their tutor in their home until news of their amazing powers spread to reach Dr. John Malin in America.

===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===
Personality:
Roxy is very sarcastic, laid-back, and the basic “class clown” type of person. She makes jokes to ease tension and deal with pain. She has a bad temper which can sometimes get out of hand. She’s a little crazy, but is a really fun person to be around.
Roxy is most likely one of the most sarcastic people around. She uses sarcasm to deal with her pain, and often jokes as well. Though she is the basic "class-clown" type of person, she has a very 'chillaxed' manner about her, and can come off as someone who just doesn't care. She is very disruptive, can't stand awkward silences, or silence at all really, and hates being controlled. The only person she ever really listens to is Akila, her twin sister. Her temper flares up not everyday, but often enough, and she has a horrible attitude when it happens. She seems, honestly, like the sea. She can get a little crazy sometimes, for better or for worse, but she is a very fun person to be around.
Strengths:
-the ocean -cloudy days -water in general
Interests/Habits:
-surfing
===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===
Living Family Members: Akila (Sister), Matthew (Father), and Denise (Mother) Place of Origin: Athens, Greece Current City: New York City History:
Roxy and Akila were born in Athens, Greece on July 1st. Their family, which consisted of their father, Matthew, and their mother, Denise, traveled around the world for Matthew and Denise's work. Her parents were scientists who studied early human civilization. This brought them everywhere around the world. When the twins were two, they moved to France. Roxy, like her mother, who was a French native, picked up French very easily and began to use that as her main language. Akila had a bit more trouble using French, but was found to be a natural at Spanish when the family moved to Spain, where their father was originally from. Both girls spoke Greek and Latin fluently, as it came very easily for them.
Tragically, their father became over-worked and over-stressed, and one day picked up everything and vowed not to return. He kept his word, and the twins never saw him again. The disheartened family moved to France, where their mother had her old home. Their father’s abandonment put their mother in complete disarray, and she began to drink. Akila and Roxy taught themselves how to live life, and how to care for each other. When the twins were nine, their mother had turned so bad that she no longer knew the girls. One night, as she went around drinking and driving, she accidentally killed ten people in a crash. She was sentenced to fifty years in prison, leaving Roxy and Akila by themselves. By this time their powers had started to develop, but they had told no one. Before the authorities could come, the twins packed up what they could and ran away. They used the rest of their money to buy two one-way tickets to Greece, where they were born. There they lived on an island off of the southern tip of the mainland, alone and away from the world. The two went into the mainland for supplies, stealing what they could and bartering what they couldn't. They became hardened and a bit cold. When the twins were twelve, they were discovered by the foster agency, and brought to live in the house of an older couple who had seen many foster children before. The twins really were loved by their foster parents and eventually thawed a bit out, but never regained their previous personalities.
The twins attended regular school and were found to have dyslexia and ADHD. In spite of these, they never fell behind in school, though they were kicked out of a few due to some ‘instances’ that had to do with their powers. Their foster parents discovered that the twins had an affinity for sword fighting and enrolled them in the city's dojo for lessons. By the time they graduated, the twins were the star students at the dojo, and Akila had also taken on lessons in dagger and knife fighting. They graduated at the top of their class as 17 year-olds, but neither of them had any idea what to do next. Right about that time, the humans declared war on the other races. Not two days after that, they were approached by Dr. Malin, and invited to come with him to his organization in New York. The twins accepted and promptly followed him there.

" It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. "
Alexia Kemming [/size][/color][/font] ===IDENTITY===[/b][/center][/font] Full Name: Alexia Kemming Nickname(s): Alex Codename: Infliction Alias(es): N/A Age: 17 Classification: Mentem Affiliation: Undecided ===PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION=== [/b][/font][/center] Hair Color: Golden, honey blonde; mid-back length; straight Eye Color: A transfixing shade of dark blue Height: 5’6” Weight: 100lbs Skin Tone: Pale Other Traits: High, pronounced cheekbones that give her a cruel look. Apparel: Dark colored jeans, fitted T-shirts, and non-heeled boots that can easily be run in. ===POWERS=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Powers:Alexia's powers are the opposite of her brother's. While he brings somewhat of a sense of peace, she brings pain. Her powers affect the brain through the nervous system. They make you feel as if every bone in your body is snapping into a thousand different pieces; every vessel in you is popping open; someone is stabbing you in a million different places with a poisoned sword; and you're being submerged in acid, all at the same time. However, this is an illusion, seeing as nothing is actually happening to your body. She only needs to look at a person to do it, and the effects are instantaneous. Her victims are paralyzed with pain during this, and cannot move. Her victims are able to scream and shout and beg for mercy during this process though. She is only able to inflict pain upon one person at a time, but it currently working on being able to do more. Alexia and Alecto can also read each other’s minds and telepathically communicate over long distances. However, since they are never far away from each other, how far the connection goes is unknown. It is thought that they would be able to communicate from across the world. Skills:-Photographic memory is something both twins have. -Alex also is very intimidating, and while her brother will charm people to get what he wants, she will intimidate them to get what she wants. -Skilled with a dagger, just as her brother is. Neither can beat the other, though no one knows about her skill with a knife except Alec...and those unfortunate enough to cross her, though none of them are living. Weaknesses:-Alexia can only harm one person at a time - Weaker in the sun Equipment:-Always carries a hidden dagger ===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Personality:Cold and ruthless. These two words could be used to describe Alexia, and usually are. She is very cunning, and has a wicked mind when it comes to revenge and missions. It seems to those around her that she doesn’t know how to smile, though if you were to catch her alone with her brother, she's much more relaxed and less guarded. Also because of her powers, she is impatient, seeing as how they work instantaneously. Between the two twins, she was and is always the meanest. She likes using her powers to extract revenge, and won't hesitate to kill you. In personality, she is basically the exact opposite of her brother Alec, though there are times when she acts like him, but those times are very rare, and only her brother has witnessed them. Her views on humans are basically the same as her brother's. She dislikes humans for no particular reason. To her, they are merely the mindless flies that always seem to be everywhere. She doesn't care for them, dismissing them as an inconvenience of life and doesn't care if they live or die. Strengths:-Alexia and her brother Alecto's powers are stronger at night. It is unknown why. Their abilities increase during the night, and return to normal during the day. When the sun goes down, their powers become stronger by about 10%. During a new moon, their powers almost double in strength. Interests/Habits:-Human studies -Taking control of situations ===PERSONAL BACKGROUND=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Family Members: Alecto Kemming (Brother); Alicia Kemming (Mother); Mark Kemming (Father) Place of Origin: New York City Current City: New York City History:The twins were born on December 21st in New York City to Alicia and Mark Kemming. Alicia died two weeks after the twin’s birth due to childbirth complications. Mark raised the twins on his own, trying his best to be the father and mother figure in their lives. However, as the twins got older Mark fell into a kind of depression. He began to ignore the kids and spend days in bed. The twins began to learn to fend for themselves, and soon became independent of their father. They lived like that for a while, going out with their dad’s credit card and buying their own groceries, making meals for themselves and taking care of the house. After a while, the twins saw no point in staying, and ran away. They found out later that their dad had lost the house soon after their departure and currently resided in a depression ward of a mental hospital. Neither of them has seen their dad since they left, and the thought of visiting him at the mental ward hasn’t crossed their minds at all. Right after the twin’s 12th birthday, they were found by an older woman who wasn’t married but ached for kids of her own. She brought the twins into her home, and treated them as her own. The woman was a Mentem, just like the twins, and they felt a closeness to her that they hadn’t ever felt towards their biological parents. She helped them to control their ever developing powers, and taught her own view on the humans. This is what greatly affected the twin’s view on the world, and what caused them to grab the attention of the group leader John Malin. When the twins were 15 they got into trouble at school for using their powers on a teacher. The immense powers of the twins, extraordinary even among Mentem standards, were relayed to Mr. Malin. He then instructed some of his men to keep tabs on the twins, in case a need of them arose. This need made itself known through a declaration of war by the humans against all other races. Mr. Malin approached the twins and asked for their participation in an effort to find a way to bring peace to the world again. The twin’s immediately accepted, and were brought to the HQ to being evaluation.

"I may be cold as ice, but I’ll never be frozen inside. "
Eira Sapphire Vaughn [/size][/color][/font] ===IDENTITY===[/b][/center][/font] Full Name: Eira Sapphire Vaughn Nickname(s): Snow Codename: Blizzard Alias(es): Snow (current) Age: 16 Classification: Elemental Affiliation: Good ===PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION=== [/b][/font][/center] Hair Color: Silvery-blond (sometimes looks white/silver); mid back to waist length; wavy Eye Color: Pale, pale blue, often described as the color of ice Height: 5’2” Weight: 93lbs Other Traits: Her skin is paler than most, and is ice-cold to the touch. Snow is very small for her age, in height and in weight. This comes from her high metabolism that her race (Elementals) naturally possess. She mostly wears jeans and sweaters/long-sleeved shirts no matter the weather because she is always cold (side-effect of her power). She always goes out in knee-high water-proof hiking boots. She often is wearing non-fingered gloves that reach her elbow. She mostly wears her hair down, or in a side braid. You won’t catch her styling it in much else. ===POWERS=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Powers:To put it simply, Snow can control water/ice. Her powers include being able to freeze/unfreeze items- Freezing and unfreezing items takes the least amount of power, but probably the most amount of time. The amount of time it takes to unfreeze a bottle of water that's been sitting in the freezer for too long greatly differs from the amount of time it would take to unfreeze a human being. Such applies for the freezing of an item as well. The larger the object, the more time and power it takes to unfreeze/freeze.
manipulate water to her will- This is simply qualified as 'bending'. Snow can move water into shapes, and freeze them, therefore creating ice sculptures or ice shields, etc. etc. She can also draw water from the ground, if it is there. Things like that.
create a blizzard- The power Snow gets her codename from, and also her most powerful, Snow can create blizzards. At full strength, she can create a blizzard that will last for days. The size and power of the blizzard depends on the power she can exert.
Take, for instance, she has been fighting with her bending for a while. If she were to create a blizzard, it would be weak and only over a small area. Plus, it would most likely use up the rest of her strength as well. However, if she was to enter a battle completely and fully refreshed and at full power, she could create a blizzard over a large area that would be fairly strong. In this same sense, she could create a blizzard over a small area that would definitely rival some of nature's most powerful blizzards. The down side on creating a blizzard that powerful would be the utter lack of strength afterwards. Snow would most likely not be able to create a blizzard that strong for months afterwards. She would not be able to even use her blizzards for a couple of days, if not a week or two, no matter how small the blizzard would be.
On one hand, as powerful as this blizzard would be, if per-say, it was in the middle of summer, she would not be able to keep it up for long due to the snow's inability to stick to the ground and her weaker state during the hot months.
On the other hand, if she were to create a blizzard in the dead of winter with snow already on the ground, she would be able to keep up the blizzard for hours, and then because of the circumstances, the blizzard would most likely stay after she stops creating it (if at a weaker state) because of the snow on the ground fueling it. Temperature control- Not necessarily a power, it is just somewhat of a side-effect of her power. The air within a ten foot radius is always about 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the closer you get to her, the colder it becomes until within a two foot radius, it is about 30, 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This is what causes her skin to always be cold.
Above Average Abilities- Elemental's strength, endurance, speed, and healing factors are more than your average human. Snow is just a little stronger and faster than the humans, can endure longer and harder things than the humans, and heals faster. Her metabolism is very high, which is one reason why she is so skinny. She also ages just a little bit slower. Elemental lifespans are about 120-150 human years.
Skills:Bilingual:Snow's intelligence and comprehension is very high, making it easy for her to learn new languages. Snow knows English, Gaelic (Scottish/Irish), German, Czech, Swedish, Swiss, French, Polish, Norwegian, and Finnish. Because she spent most of her life in Europe (mainly England) she has a very thick English accent. Perfect memory: Elementals have near perfect memory. They can remember languages taught to them in their youth, or random facts from home, or what this person looked like on this day, or what they did at this precise moment on this day, etc, etc. However, this photographic memory only starts about six, seven months old. Before that they can only remember flashes, if even that. Street Smart: Growing up mainly on the streets of London taught Snow to be very street smart. She has good hand to hand combat skills, as that is what is mostly used to solve arguments there. She knows when to back down, and when to protect her territory. Weaknesses:For obvious reasons, Snow is weaker during the warmer months, and when the sun is at its highest points. During the summer Snow mainly sticks to bending water. Her main weakness though, is Fire. Fire is the one thing that will beat Snow basically every time. Any opponent that has access to immense heat or firepower will most likely be able to beat her when she’s alone. Equipment:Snow is always wearing a rope-like necklace with a Snow-Crystal Pendant on it. Along with this, Snow has plenty of money which comes from pawning jewels brought from her planet. ===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Personality:Snow has a very light-hearted, easy going personality. She's very shy, but will open up more once you get to know her. Snow is an optimist, and tries to always look at the bright side of things. She is also a very curious person, often getting into things she shouldn't. She is very indecisive, often changing her mind four to five times before deciding on one choice. However, when she does finally decide on something, she'll stick with it to the end, as she is also a very stubborn person. Snow doesn't get mad easily, as her anger will build for a while, and then suddenly be there when you least expect it. And it could go on for days, much like a blizzard. She is sensitive, so snide remarks and rude comments will hurt her deeply. This, paired with her photographic memory and stubbornness makes it hard for her to forgive people. Often she will hold grudges for weeks or even months before finally thawing out. Growing up on the streets of London and loosing her guardian has hardened her to some extent. She can be very serious and protective of things, and will go into 'survival mode'---a mode in which she instantly thinks only of herself or those on her team, and will do anything to either win the situation or get out in the safest way possible. Strengths: Snow is very kindhearted, and will always try to help those in need.
- She's strong-willed, though her shy demeanor often hides that fact.
- Because of her upbringing, she is very street-smart and intelligent as well, having learned all that a human child would know, as well as that of an Eorithian child.
Interests/Habits:Snow has a habit of suddenly switching to a different language when she is in an extreme mood (i.e. angry, depressed, utter excitement) Snow loves to read. She wants to know all she can about this world, and also tries to find things about other alien planets, looking for hers. She is very interested in physics and aerodynamics, hoping that someday she will be able to build a spaceship and travel back to Eorith. She also enjoys practicing fighting or controlling of her powers. Along with all of this, she's always had a nagging suspicion that her brother Hadyn survived the crash, and is still out there. She has made a habit of regularly checking the European news for reports on strange kids with phenomenal powers, or weird occurrences, hoping that someday she will be able to find him. ===PERSONAL BACKGROUND=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Family Members: Lliant (mother)((DECEASED)); Glaw (father)((DECEASED)); Hadyn (brother)((presumed dead)), Ariantan (mother-like nanny)((DECEASED)) Place of Origin: Eorith Current City: Jump City History:Eira and Hadyn are from Wales. There she was born to her parents, Lliant and Glaw, who were both water Elementals; Lliant being floods, and Glaw being rainstorms. They were often away at meetings and conferences and expeditions, seeing as they were scientists. During this time, Eira and Hadyn were watched by their parent's dear friend Ariantan, a gold Elemental. Eira was only a month or two old, and Hadyn was not even a year old yet (Elemental gestation periods are 3 months). Her parents often traveled, and when Eira was about four months old her parents decided to take the whole family on one of their expeditions. Upon coming into the airport, her parents realized that the plane had been sabotaged and that the landing gears were broken. They had just enough time to warn everyone else before the plane crashed into Norway near the border to Sweden. Her parents were killed in the crash, but Eira, Hadyn, and Ariantan survived. Ariantan gathered all supplies and money and things she could find, and then set off, thinking that whoever had sabotaged the plane must have meant to kill all of them. She then set out to find shelter and food. Ariantan quickly picked up the Swedish, Finnish, and Norwegian languages, moving constantly from each country. Unknowingly, Eira and Hadyn did too. When Eira was a year and a half old, about a year after the accident, they moved to England. Ariantan had used some of their money allowing for I.D. cards and passports and such. However, Ariantan let Eira and Hadyn grow up on the streets, purposefully making them street smart and teaching them the basic fighting skills. Over the next couple of years Ariantan taught Eira and Hadyn everything she knew. Eira and Hadyn learned everything a normal human child would know, as well as a few extra techniques like surviving in the wild and fist fighting. When she and Hadyn were old enough and their powers started developing (about seven years old) they moved to Switzerland in a small secluded mansion. There they stayed until Eira and Hadyn were about ten, learning to master their powers. From there they moved around to Germany for a year, France for a few months, Czech for a year, and then Poland for a few months. In every place they went, Eira and Hadyn would learn to fluently speak, understand and write each language spoken in that place, as well as the currency, customs and history of the country. They moved back to England when Eira was about 13 1/2. Throughout all of this, Eira and Hadyn never lost the thick English accent they'd gained as children, though it did begin to have a faint German/Czech taint to it. A month before Eira’s 14th birthday, Ariantan began to get very, very, sick. It turned out she hadn't been completely unharmed by the crash, and ever so slowly her organs had been beginning to shut down over the thirteen years on Earth, only lasting this long because of an Elemental’s slow dying rate. Right after Eira's 14th birthday, Ariantan died. Overcome by grief, Eira and Hadyn couldn't stay in England anymore, and so they moved to the next best thing: Scotland, taking only the supplied they would need, a suitcase of clothes, and the thick rope-like Snow Crystal necklace her mother, Lliant, had given Eira upon her birth. There Eira and Hadyn lived for almost a year, and then moved back to their homeland of Wales for a month or so. After that they moved to Ireland, thinking it far enough away from England. However, only six months after living there, they realized that nowhere in Europe or near Europe would they be safe from the grieving memory of Ariantan. Eira and Hadyn bought tickets to America, and arrived in New York City right after Eira’s 16 birthday. After one particularly bad incident with Hadyn’s temper flaring up, the two siblings were approached by Dr. John Malin, and asked if they would join him in his resistance against the humans. Eira and Hadyn, having nowhere else to go, accepted and promptly came to live with Dr. Malin and the rest of the crew.

" Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...however long that may be.”
Hadyn Andesine Vaughn [/size][/color][/font] ===IDENTITY===[/b][/center][/font] Full Name: Hadyn Andesine Vaughn Nickname(s): n/a Codename: Blaze Alias(es): n/a Age: 17 Classification: Elemental Affiliation: Undecided ===PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION=== [/b][/font][/center] Hair Color: His hair is short and a dark red, with subtle orange highlights. Eye Color: Firey red most of the time, but his eyes are like fire; many colors at once. Often his eye colors reflect his mood; red being mutual, white being very mad, and yellow being sad or depressed. Height: 5’7” Weight: 130lbs, ripped Skin Tone: Tannish skin Other Traits: Hadyn has a very good figure. He’s tall and lean but completely made of muscle. His skin is always hot to the touch, but not so hot that it’ll burn you. He most always has either a serious expression or a knowing smirk that will irk most people. Apparel: He usually is wearing nice casual clothes, a bit more on the dressy side. ===POWERS=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Powers:Simply put, Hadyn has the power to control fire. He can wield it into many different kinds of shapes, creating swords or daggers or shields. In more detail, Hadyn can draw heat from the air and create fire from basically thin air. He has the power to create fire tornados and powerful forest fires. He can make the fire not touch certain things in an area, or make the fire liken unto Greek fire, which is very hard to stop. As a side-effect, Hadyn is fireproof, and by physical contact can make a few others fire proof as well. He also has a resistance to heat, and therefore cannot tan. As another side effect, Hadyn’s skin is hot to the touch. Skills:-Charm -Fist Fighting Weaknesses:-Water -the cold Equipment:-A fire-proof watch from his father ===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Personality:Hadyn is very hot-headed, and has a firey temper. His wrath however, can be put out very quickly, if you use the right tools. He isn’t very calm or collected, and makes a lot of rash decisions. He is conceited in the fact that he doesn’t think of others when making a decision, with the exception of his sister Eira. He also will do what he pleases, when he pleases. Hadyn will use sarcasm in almost every other sentence, most of the time his words dripping with it. Underneath all of that however, is a sadistic tendency to light things on fire. He’s been obsessed with lighting things on fire and watching them burn since he was little, but has shown no one, though Eira suspects. Strengths:-The sun/daytime Interests/Habits:-Controlling his powers -Burning things ===PERSONAL BACKGROUND=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Family Members: Lliant (mother)((DECEASED)); Glaw (father)((DECEASED)); Ariantan (mother-like nanny)((DECEASED)); Eira (younger sister)((ALIVE)) Place of Origin: Wales Current City: New York City History:Eira and Hadyn are from Wales. There he was born to his parents, Lliant and Glaw, who were both water Elementals; Lliant being floods, and Glaw being rainstorms. They were often away at meetings and conferences and expeditions, seeing as they were scientists. During this time, Eira and Hadyn were watched by their parent's dear friend Ariantan, a gold Elemental. Eira was only a month or two old, and Hadyn was not even a year old yet (Elemental gestation periods are 3 months). His parents often traveled, and when Hadyn was about eight months old her parents decided to take the whole family on one of their expeditions. Upon coming into the airport, her parents realized that the plane had been sabotaged and that the landing gears were broken. They had just enough time to warn everyone else before the plane crashed into Norway near the border to Sweden. His parents were killed in the crash, but Eira, Hadyn, and Ariantan survived. Ariantan gathered all supplies and money and things she could find, and then set off, thinking that whoever had sabotaged the plane must have meant to kill all of them. She then set out to find shelter and food. Ariantan quickly picked up the Swedish, Finnish, and Norwegian languages, moving constantly from each country. Unknowingly, Eira and Hadyn did too. When Hadyn was almost two years old, about a year after the accident, they moved to England. Ariantan had used some of their money allowing for I.D. cards and passports and such. However, Ariantan let Eira and Hadyn grow up on the streets, purposefully making them street smart and teaching them the basic fighting skills. Over the next couple of years Ariantan taught Eira and Hadyn everything she knew. Eira and Hadyn learned everything a normal human child would know, as well as a few extra techniques like surviving in the wild and fist fighting. When he and Eira were old enough and their powers started developing (about seven years old) they moved to Switzerland in a small secluded mansion. There they stayed until Eira and Hadyn were about ten, learning to master their powers. From there they moved around to Germany for a year, France for a few months, Czech for a year, and then Poland for a few months. In every place they went, Eira and Hadyn would learn to fluently speak, understand and write each language spoken in that place, as well as the currency, customs and history of the country. They moved back to England when Hadyn was two months shy of being 14. Throughout all of this, Eira and Hadyn never lost the thick English accent they'd gained as children, though it did begin to have a faint German/Czech taint to it. A month before Eira’s 14th birthday, Ariantan began to get very, very, sick. It turned out she hadn't been completely unharmed by the crash, and ever so slowly her organs had been beginning to shut down over the thirteen years on Earth, only lasting this long because of an Elemental’s slow dying rate. Right after Eira's 14th birthday, Ariantan died. Overcome by grief, Eira and Hadyn couldn't stay in England anymore, and so they moved to the next best thing: Scotland, taking only the supplied they would need, a suitcase of clothes, and the thick rope-like Snow Crystal necklace her mother, Lliant, had given Eira upon her birth. Hadyn took his father’s fire-proof watch. There Eira and Hadyn lived for almost a year, and then moved back to their homeland of Wales for a month or so. After that they moved to Ireland, thinking it far enough away from England. However, only six months after living there, they realized that nowhere in Europe or near Europe would they be safe from the grieving memory of Ariantan. Eira and Hadyn bought tickets to America, and arrived in New York City right after Eira’s 16th birthday. After one particularly bad incident with Hadyn’s temper flaring up, the two siblings were approached by Dr. John Malin, and asked if they would join him in his resistance against the humans. Eira and Hadyn, having nowhere else to go, accepted and promptly came to live with Dr. Malin and the rest of the crew.

Oh, sorry! I created these characters for a story my friends and I are writing. I meant to put something up at the beginning but I guess I didn't... Soon I'll probably add the first couple of chapters.

"You trust me? Wow, I don’t know what to say…wait, I do have one thing. Hold still a moment while I slip this knife between your shoulder blades. Ah, that’s better. Oh, and thanks for the trust; it really boosted my morale."
Alecto Kemming [/size][/color][/font] ===IDENTITY===[/b][/center][/font] Full Name: Alecto Kemming Nickname(s): Alec Codename: Sedate Alias(es): N/A Age: 17 Classification: Mentem Affiliation: Undecided ===PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION=== [/b][/font][/center] Hair Color: wavy dark brown hair falls right above his eyes goes barely past his earlobes. Eye Color: Melt-you-on-the-spot dark blue eyes Height: 5’7” Weight: 130lbs Skin Tone: pale-but-not-white Other Traits: Very well built, muscular, He has high, angled cheek bones, He has somewhat of an impish appearance with ears that seem to have pointed tops, instead of rounded tops, He always seems to have a smirk on his face, and a mischievous twinkle in his eyes alerting those around him that he is not a goody two shoes. Apparel: He is often seen wearing a brown jacket, dark colored T-shirt and jeans. He prefers to wear running shoes to any other type. He always seems looks nice, even when he's in sweats. He's just that kind of person. ===POWERS=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Powers:Alecto's power is the antidote to Alexia's power. While she gives pain, he takes it away. His power affects the brain. He can envelope you in an invisible cloud that takes away all senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. You can't communicate with anyone through telepathic means either. His power is slow moving; it goes from his body and creeps across the ground until it attaches to you. Then it grows until enclosing you completely. He can incubate as many people as he wants at a time, though it takes more energy and power the more he tries to sedate. Alecto and Alexia can also read each other’s minds and telepathically communicate over long distances. However, since they are never far away from each other, how far the connection goes is unknown. It is thought that they would be able to communicate from across the world. Skills:-A natural charmer, some will say he has the gift of people speaking. He always knows what to say to get something from a person, making him very dangerous. It doesn't help that he's a looker too. -Quick with a dagger, he's known in his hometown for being ruthless with a knife -Both he and Alex have photographic memories -Alec took karate growing up and is skilled in self defense as well as his sister Weaknesses:-Alecto's power is slow moving, and though it is invisible, you could still run away from it Equipment:-Alec always carries a dagger somewhere on his person, usually concealed in his jacket through some secret pocket. ===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Personality:Much more laid back than his twin sister, most likely due to his powers, Alec is easy going and patient. He has a pleasant aura in the fact that it is more outgoing than his sisters, but he will not hesitate to hurt you if you cross him. Though most mistake him for the ‘nice’ twin, he is most definitely not that; while she is very aggressive on the outside, Alec is more of a calculating type, and will strike when you least expect it. He is a natural trouble maker, yet always seems to charm his way out of punishment. Charming and humorous are often acquainted with him when being spoken about. He dislikes humans for no particular reason. To him, they are merely the mindless flies that always seem to be everywhere. He doesn't care for them, dismissing them as an inconvenience. Strengths:-Alecto and his sister Alexia are more powerful at night. It is unknown why they are. Though they are stronger at night, their powers are just their normal strength during the day. When the sun goes down, their powers become stronger by about 10%. During a new moon, their powers almost double in strength. -He’s a charmer, so can usually get what he wants -He is loyal…when he wants to be Interests/Habits:-observe others ===PERSONAL BACKGROUND=== [/center][/color][/b][/font] Family Members: Alexia (Sister) Place of Origin: New York City Current City: New York City History:The twins were born on December 21st in New York City to Alicia and Mark Kemming. Alicia died two weeks after the twin’s birth due to childbirth complications. Mark raised the twins on his own, trying his best to be the father and mother figure in their lives. However, as the twins got older Mark fell into a kind of depression. He began to ignore the kids and spend days in bed. The twins began to learn to fend for themselves, and soon became independent of their father. They lived like that for a while, going out with their dad’s credit card and buying their own groceries, making meals for themselves and taking care of the house. After a while, the twins saw no point in staying, and ran away. They found out later that their dad had lost the house soon after their departure and currently resided in a depression ward of a mental hospital. Neither of them has seen their dad since they left, and the thought of visiting him at the mental ward hasn’t crossed their minds at all. Right after the twin’s 12th birthday, they were found by an older woman who wasn’t married but ached for kids of her own. She brought the twins into her home, and treated them as her own. The woman was a Mentem, just like the twins, and they felt a closeness to her that they hadn’t ever felt towards their biological parents. She helped them to control their ever developing powers, and taught her own view on the humans. This is what greatly affected the twin’s view on the world, and what caused them to grab the attention of the group leader John Malin. When the twins were 15 they got into trouble at school for using their powers on a teacher. The immense powers of the twins, extraordinary even among Mentem standards, were relayed to Mr. Malin. He then instructed some of his men to keep tabs on the twins, in case a need of them arose. This need made itself known through a declaration of war by the humans against all other races. Mr. Malin approached the twins and asked for their participation in an effort to find a way to bring peace to the world again. The twin’s immediately accepted, and were brought to the HQ to being evaluation.

"Dying is easy; it's living that scares me to death."Akila Marie Knight===IDENTITY===Full Name: Akila Marie Knight Nickname(s): N/A Codename: Nyx Alias(es): N/A Age: 17 Classification: Myth Affiliation: Undecided ===PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION===
Hair Color: Ebony, wavy, goes a little bit past her elbows Eye Color: They seem to be a dark black, but upon close inspections, her eyes are really blue, black, purple, green, and red, all mixed together to appear as black. Height: 5’6” Weight: 100lbs Skin Tone: Pale Other Traits: She is sometimes described as looking like death, as her cheekbones are very pronounced and her skin is pulled tight across her bones. There are always deep shadows underneath her black eyes, which also contributes to this. However, she is also very lean and muscular, though you wouldn’t be able to tell from looking at her. Apparel: Her main clothing is t-shirts with sarcastic sayings, black jeans and knee high boots that can easily be run in.
===POWERS=== Powers:
• Necromancy is the mental or physical ability to control the bodies and spirits of the dead. Akila has only used this power once in her life, and that was the first time she discovered it. That moment frightened her so much that she vowed never to use it again, and hasn’t since. However, the power did come with a few side-effects that she does use, namely the ability to sense when someone she knows dies and being able to see people’s life auras. • Umbrakinesis (a.k.a. sciakinesis) is the ability to mentally generate and manipulate darkness. One with this ability can even deactivate and repulse, or travel through shadows by converting deactivated photons into a dark version of a portal. She calls this shadow-jumping. The amount of energy it takes to shadow-jump depends upon the distance of the desired location. The farther the jump, the more energy it requires. • Geokinesis is the mental and or physical ability to control/manipulate earth. This ability allows her to create earthquakes, fissures, rock slides, landslides, volcanic eruptions or the ability to cause rock to shoot up from the ground. She is more powerful in this respect than her sister, who can control only earthquakes. • Ferrokinesis is the ability to sense and summon precious metals from under the ground as well as manipulate them. It was with this ability that Akila was able to provide gems for her and her sister to barter with. • Akila can radiate fear and death. This means that fear and death can literally seep from her, causing intense fear in those around her, and a dying of plants around her.
Skills:
-Sword fighting -Dagger fighting -She speak French, English, Spanish, Greek & Latin -Observing/sneaking around
Weaknesses:
-Can be very demanding -Thinks she can handle everything on her own -Seems to believe that sensitive emotions such as love are weakness, and tries to block any that come, save for when she's with her sister. -Her sister
Equipment:
-Two stygian iron swords that shrink down into a necklace -A pair of daggers usually hidden in her boots
===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===
Personality:
Akila has a very direct personality, with more of an emphasis on direct, as in, intimidating. She's seen the hard side of life, seen first-hand the cruelty and despair of humankind, and it has hardened her to the point of stone. Moreover, her powers have quite the influence on her life. Constantly surrounded by death, it seems only logical that her persona would reflect that, much as her sister's nature reflects that of the sea. She also holds a secret, one she has never even told her sister. Only weeks after their mother was put in jail, she committed suicide. Akila, through her powers, sensed and saw a glimpse of this death. At the time, she didn't know what it was. It wasn't until three years later that she finally understood what it was she had seen: their mother's last moments. Haunted by this knowledge, and knowing that it would crush her sister, she decided to keep it to herself, where it has slowly hardened into guilt and despair. Her one condolence is that she has not felt her father's death, and so knows that he's out there somewhere. She uses biting sarcasm and harsh comments to protect herself from all feeling, and so her only friend has always been her twin. When with her sister, she is a lot more relaxed and more of what Roxy (her sister) thinks of as Akila's real self: nice sarcasm, more playful, and open. She is loyal to a fault, though earning her trust is nearly impossible. She holds her opinions of people to that of what she learned as a child; most men are greedy, selfish, conceited, and ruthless. She does admit to herself that not all are this way, but to all outside appearances, she cares nothing for anyone besides her sister. First impressions are the most valued to her, and so she has a really rough time re-evaluating someone she's met previously, regardless of how they've changed.
Strengths:
-Night -Dark places -Her sister
Interests/Habits:
-Observing -Learning to control her powers -Shutting everyone out
===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===
Living Family Members: Roxy (Sister), Matthew (Father), and Denise (Mother) Place of Origin: Athens, Greece Current City: New York City History:
Roxy and Akila were born in Athens, Greece on July 1st. Their family, which consisted of their father, Matthew, and their mother, Denise, traveled around the world for Matthew and Denise's work. Her parents were scientists who studied early human civilization. This brought them everywhere around the world. When the twins were two, they moved to France. Roxy, like her mother, who was a French native, picked up French very easily and began to use that as her main language. Akila had a bit more trouble using French, but was found to be a natural at Spanish when the family moved to Spain, where their father was originally from. Both girls spoke Greek and Latin fluently, as it came very easily for them.
Tragically, their father became over-worked and over-stressed, and one day picked up everything and vowed not to return. He kept his word, and the twins never saw him again. The disheartened family moved to France, where their mother had her old home. Their father’s abandonment put their mother in complete disarray, and she began to drink. Akila and Roxy taught themselves how to live life, and how to care for each other. When the twins were nine, their mother had turned so bad that she no longer knew the girls. One night, as she went around drinking and driving, she accidentally killed ten people in a crash. She was sentenced to fifty years in prison, leaving Roxy and Akila by themselves. By this time their powers had started to develop, but they had told no one. Before the authorities could come, the twins packed up what they could and ran away. They used the rest of their money to buy two one-way tickets to Greece, where they were born. There they lived on an island off of the southern tip of the mainland, alone and away from the world. The two went into the mainland for supplies, stealing what they could and bartering what they couldn't. They became hardened and a bit cold. When the twins were twelve, they were discovered by the foster agency, and brought to live in the house of an older couple who had seen many foster children before. The twins really were loved by their foster parents and eventually thawed a bit out, but never regained their previous personalities.
The twins attended regular school and were found to have dyslexia and ADHD. In spite of these, they never fell behind in school, though they were kicked out of a few due to some ‘instances’ that had to do with their powers. Their foster parents discovered that the twins had an affinity for sword fighting and enrolled them in the city's dojo for lessons. By the time they graduated, the twins were the star students at the dojo, and Akila had also taken on lessons in dagger and knife fighting. They graduated at the top of their class as 17 year-olds, but neither of them had any idea what to do next. Right about that time, the humans declared war on the other races. Not two days after that, they were approached by Dr. Malin, and invited to come with him to his organization in New York. The twins accepted and promptly followed him there.
