≡ALEXANDRA WILSON≡

⤑ NAME: Alexandra Wilson| ⤑ ALIAS/CODENAME: Lex | ⤑ AGE: 27 | ⤑ THREAT LEVEL: Yellow


APPEARANCE

⤑ Written Appearance

Lex is fair skinned with long brown locks and she's usually always make up free. She doesn't have the energy to beautify herself not when she really does not have to. She has a small tattoo on her right wrist that reads "Cam" to always remind her of the chameleon she truly is.

⤑ Height | 150lbs
⤑ Weight | 5'6"



BIO

Lex's life wasn't easy from the start. She was raised by a single mother after her father took off shortly after her third birthday when Lex began to demonstrate she had the mutant gene. Not wanting to be seen as an archivist, he decided that it was best he cut his loses and left his wife and child to fend for themselves. Lex's mother did her best to raise her daughter on her own and home schooled Lex so she would not be detected and keep her safe.

Lex appreciated all her mother did but a part of her did not feel free. She felt trapped and just wanted to make friends and be who she truly was. Around her 18th birthday she began to explore outside her home. She began to sneak out while her mother was working her double shifts and hanging out in local spots where other teenagers would also hang out. She made friends quickly and enjoyed her time with her new friends but she still felt like she was hiding.

She wanted to feel free, to be herself so she decided to show one of her new friends who she really was. She pulled him aside one night and decided to be truthful for once in her life. She shifted in front of him, taking on his form then returning back to her own. The boy immediately freaked out and ran home informing his parents of what he saw. They in turn called RIEF and Lex was forced to go on the run.

She used her abilities to get by in the years she was on the run. She was burned a few times while on the run, being burned by people she thought she could trust. She went deep into hiding and thought it would be best if she didn't exist at all. Until she met Keegan who recruited her into the Rogues where she has remained ever since. He gave her a new purpose and a new reason to continue fighting against the world that would harm her. She used her abilities to help Rogue's mission and locate other mutants for their cause.

⤑ JACKIE LIND | ⤑ SPRINGHEEL | ⤑ 19 | ⤑ Threat level GREEN

APPEARANCE


⤑ Written Appearance

Tall and lithe, Jackie would probably stand out more if it weren't for the slight hunch to her shoulders and baggy clothes that serve to direct attention away from her. Her hair is usually somewhat messy and ruffled due to her habit of fiddling with it when nervous.

⤑ Height | 5'9"
⤑ Weight | 152lbs



BIO

Jackie was born a third generation immigrant to the USA, to a family that had not found the American Dream to have worked out in the way it was supposed to. Incredibly distrustful of the authorities, her grandparents had kept her father under almost smothering supervision, and he had repeated this with Jackie. She wasn’t allowed out the house unsupervised, and was constantly homeschooled. There wasn’t a part of her life that wasn’t supervised and managed, and the whole experience was quite stifling for the young Jackie.

So, she got into the habit of staying awake late into the evening, pretending to be asleep until her parents went to bed. It didn’t take her very long to realise her abilities - the outside world was her oyster, and to have so much freedom was exhilarating. So exhilarating in fact that she didn't think about the consequences of leaping clean over houses. It didn’t take too long for people to see her, although she couldn’t be identified in the dark.

Soon, local news was reporting on ‘Springheel’, an as of yet unidentified mutant who terrorised the neighbourhood at night - trespassing on private property, disturbing people's sleep...there were even people willing to claim that their children had been snatched. This news sent her parents into an even greater state of paranoia, and they secretly fitted the house with CCTV and alarms in order to ensure that they and their little girl were safe. One can only imagine the horror they must have felt to find out that their own child was the mutant they had been so afraid of. They said nothing of their discovery to Jackie, but within two days booked a spontaneous visit to Sweden to go visit extended family.

That was two years ago. Despite telling her they would be gone for a week, they never returned.

In that time, Jackie has begun to come out of her shell, though she’s always careful of where she travels. She’s found work at a small little bookshop with its own cafe. The owner is probably an Archivist given that he never required her to submit to an Aspida test before he hired her. It’s a peaceful enough place, and as an employee she’s allowed to treat it as a mini-library so long as the books don’t come back damaged. With the house to herself, she’s been able to relieve her energy in a more normal manner too, so some of the initial hysteria has died down. She’s still cautious in public though, since she knows that one slip could see her hunted like an animal.




STRENGTHS
+Easy-going
+Athletic
+Kind-hearted

WEAKNESSES
-Naive
-Distractable
-Immature
-Introverted


POWER

⤑Type: Physical
⤑Jackie can produce instantaneous bursts of force from the soles of her feet. Primarily she uses this for instantaneous acceleration and huge jumps, but if she's threatened she can also use it to apply devastating force to her kicks.
⤑Limitations: These bursts only last for a moment, so while she can accelerate to her sprinting speed immediately, she is not capable of running at superhuman speeds. Secondly, Newton's third law applies to the force released. While this is useful for jumping and accelerating, if she is even slightly off-balance midkick it can send her toppling to the floor. Finally, this puts a lot of stress on the muscles and bones of her leg. Overuse would tear the muscles and ligaments, and shatter her bones. As such, she must be careful as to when and how she uses it.

⤑ Trystan Renshaw | ⤑ N/A | ⤑ 24 | ⤑ Yellow​


APPEARANCE

⤑ Written Appearance

Trystan is slimly built, with long, awkward limbs and little muscle. Gentle brown eyes look out at the world from underneath a head of thick, curly dark hair. He moves with surprising grace and a firm sense of purpose, as if he always knows exactly where he's going.

⤑ Height | 5'11”
⤑ Weight | 163lbs



BIO

Trystan was born into a world of fear, just a few years after the scanners were developed. His parents chose to homeschool him out of fear. The world had become a terrifying place, full of danger, and they wanted to keep their only child safe. Sure, the scanners were supposed to keep the schools safe, but they didn't want to take chances.

The first time Trystan moved water, it was to help his mother. She was moving through the kitchen in a hurry, and her elbow caught a glass on the counter. Trystan saw, and he reached out without thinking. The water in the glass moved upward, pushing against the bottom of the glass, catching it in midair. His mother looked at the glass, then at his outstretched hand, and opened her mouth to scream.

The fearful look in her son's eyes stopped her. He was young then, only about seven, but he knew that people were afraid of the people like him, the ones with strange abilities, and he knew what they did to them. Seeing his own mother about to cry out filled him with a deep, petrifying fear, and when she stopped, his shoulders sagged with relief and he broke down sobbing. The glass fell to the floor as he released his control, water spilling around his mother's feet. She stepped past it and went to her son's side, wrapping him in a gentle embrace and taking a deep breath as she struggled to look past her fear to her son's need.

From that point on, things changed. His mother and father continued to homeschool him, but his mother began to teach him what he needed to survive in a world where mutants were hunted. She taught him focus, to better control his power and to keep it together in intense situations. She taught him to be observant, to be aware, to recognize when something was off. Most importantly, she taught him what she had learned from him--that no matter what the law said or what the Ascended had done, he and his fellow mutants were still human, and though keeping his head down was the best way to survive now, an injustice like this could not stand.

When he was nineteen, his father found out. He was not so willing to change, and was horrified when he discovered how long his wife had kept the secret. Yelling that she couldn't be trusted, he pulled his phone out of his pocket to report both of them, mutant and archivist. Trystan acted in panic, drawing water from the air around his father's hand, drenching and shorting out the phone. The effort brought him to his knees, and as he collapsed, he saw his mother flinging herself at his father, fighting to keep him from running out the door.

When Trystan became aware of his surroundings again, his father was gone, and his mother was shaking him awake. She got him out the door, shoved a bottle of water into his hands, and told him to run. So he ran, and it was only when he was a good distance on his way that it occurred to him that she had stayed behind, and what that meant.

He couldn't go back. He had been reported, and he would be hunted. So he kept moving, keeping his eyes open and head down, avoiding R.I.E.F. and Rogues alike. Five years later, he's passing through Miami, just trying to stay alive.



STRENGTHS
+ Protective
+ Observant
+ Level-headed

WEAKNESSES
- Closed-off
- Secretive
- Physically weak
- Slow to trust


POWER

⤑Type - Environmental
⤑Brief description of abilities/skills

Hydrokinesis - Trystan is capable of manipulating water around him. He can form it into shapes, thicken and semi-solidify it, and move it about. Uses include forming barriers and snares, blasting it at people offensively, making a layer of water above his skin as a sort of armor, and making surfaces slippery.

⤑Limitations

He cannot manipulate liquids that are not water, though he can pull water from them. He can only manipulate water in its liquid state. The one exception to the above rule is that he can pull water from the air, but it is draining and only done in emergencies. The more water he manipulates, the more draining it is to him. He can safely manipulate about a large kettle's worth.

⤑ Mara Rose Bellhaven | ⤑ Tempest | ⤑ 25 | ⤑ BLUE​

APPEARANCE

⤑ Written Appearance

By all accounts, Mara is rather average. She sports choppy brown hair that she usually cuts herself, and her darker skin alludes to her mixed heritage. Overall, she's slender, reaching just above petite. Her lean muscle makes it clear that she keeps herself fit. Not wanting to draw attention to herself, she doesn't sport fancy clothes or makeup. She likes to blend in with the crowd, and she's quite good at it.

⤑ Weight | 128lbs
⤑ Height | 5'4"



BIO

Mara was doomed from the start, as were all mutants in this forsaken world. From a young age, she listened to her parents rave about the evils of Rogues, constantly forewarning their three children to avoid anyone who even looked funny. For the first few years of her conscious life, she didn't pay much attention to the rambling conversations at the dinner table. After all, she was just a kid. Their kind of talk was for the adults, and she was perfectly content to live in ignorant bliss for a while.

There was one added boon to her parents' paranoia. They homeschooled their children, never fully trusting the scanners to keep them safe from those blasted mutants. As such, Mara never went to school. If she had, they would have discovered her true nature. As it were, she remained safe until her adolescence---when her powers finally manifested.

It had been a stormy night, of all things. Her family was already asleep, but Mara remained wide awake. Something about the storm called to her; she couldn't explain it. She crawled out of bed, opening her window and stepping onto the low roof just a couple feet below. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed...she felt more alive than ever before. That is, until her hair stood on its end...a single flash of the lightning that struck her immediately after. The shock jolted her, and she let out a scream that was lost to the wind.

Instead of dying, she opened her eyes to something truly horrific. Lightning danced on her fingertips, crackling with untamed power before it was released back into the sky. It didn't take a genius to realize the truth; she was one of them. She was less than human; her parents had ingrained the mantra enough for her to know.

She turned to return to her room, her mind reeling. She came face to face with her little sister, staring at her with fear and shock. Mara didn't even get a chance to speak as she watched her sister's expression morph into hatred, fueled by the endless admonitions from their parents. Her sister ran, screaming for her mommy. It was in that moment that Mara knew her old life was over.

She didn't even bother to think; she just ran. At 17 years old, she fled her family, knowing they would hate her forever. For months, she lived on the streets, a gutter rat cowering from the truth of the scanners. She might have died, had it not been for the mercy of an old woman named Darcy. They found each other by chance. Or, rather, Darcy found her passed out in an alley, suffering from malnutrition.

Darcy had never taken much stock in the ramblings of people, and she was kind. Although she never intended to become an Archivist, a soft heart couldn't keep her away from helping those in need. She nursed Mara back to health, slowly but surely. The two became fast friends, and she helped Mara find work at a small restaurant run by a friend.

She's stayed there for the past few years, somehow making her way in the world. Several times, her life has almost been shattered by rumors of "Tempest." That's what they called the mutant without a face and a name, and Mara intends to keep it that way. For as long as she can.



STRENGTHS
+Intelligence/Strategy
+Stealing/Pick-Pocketing
+Quick & Agile

WEAKNESSES
_Below-Average Strength
_Arrogance
_Distrust in Others
_Self-Serving


POWER

⤑Type: Environmental
⤑Brief description of abilities/skills

Atmokinesis - Mara can manipulate and control the weather and aspects of the weather. This allows her to intensify wind, change temperature, control the severity of storms, and manipulate lightning.

⤑Limitations: Her ability is currently limited by pre-existing conditions. For instance, she cannot create a storm in the middle of a sunny day, but she can intensify a storm that's already there. She cannot drastically change the temperature from hot to freezing, but she can change it enough to make a small difference. Her ability to control lightning is limited by the fact that she cannot currently produce lightning of her own accord; there must be a storm. If it was simply raining without lightning, she could theoretically intensify the rainstorm to a thunderstorm, thus allowing her access to lightning--her main offense.
