Name: Isabella (Issy) Clemens
Age: 18
Date of Birth: November 21
Parents: Jonathon Clemens (Deceased) Michelle Clemens
Siblings: Trent Clemens (Deceased) Kolby Clemens (28) Ariel Clemens (22)
Height: 5'8
Weight: 127lbs
Profession: High school student



History: Issy is what the rest of the surviving Clemens children call the 'accidental baby'. Shortly before her birth, their father Jonathon was killed along with the oldest Clemens sibling in a hit and run accident. Michelle managed to hold it together, but the loss of her husband and child took its toll on her mental stability. For a few years Michelle's mental instability was brushed off as quirks and the two eldest siblings ignored it. No one was being hurt, Issy was still being taken care of, and everyone was happy for a time; until Kolby turned 18 and joined the marines.

After her only remaining son left for the military, Michelle began to change. She became controlling of Ariel's every action, refusing to let her daughter leave the house except to go to school. Issy, however, wasn't quite as fortunate. Unbeknownst to Kolby and Ariel, Issy was kept in the house along with her mother, who developed a severe case of agoraphobia. On the few occasions that Michelle had to leave the house, she would leave Issy locked in a closet with a supply of snacks to hold her daughter over until she returned. The only thing that spared Issy a life as a complete shut-in along with Michelle was the state. When Michelle failed to provide the necessary school work done by Issy to prove she was being properly home schooled, the state forced the woman's hand. Issy was enrolled in school, a year behind all the other children her ages and completely socially awkward.

Elementary school proved to be a complete nightmare for Issy. Between her mother's constant insinuations that Issy would be killed in the world outside the house and the harassment she dealt with from her classmates due to her awkwardness in social situations, Issy shutdown completely. She refused to talk, even when spoken to. She would not go outside unless she was given no other option, and she absolutely refused to make friends. When the state stepped in again, it was Kolby who became Issy savior. Taking his sister from their mother and becoming her legal guardian, Kolby got Issy into counseling. It took years of therapy to get her to overcome her paranoia and fears, but gradually, Issy began to adjust. She never became comfortable with people her own age, but she did learn how to socialize with other people, although she usually opted not to.

Life was beginning to work out for Issy when the news that would turn her world upside down came. Her brother was being deployed overseas, and he could not take Issy with him. It was decided, that rather than sending her back to their mother and risking all of the progress she'd made, Issy would live with Ariel and her fiancé. The situation was hardly ideal considering the strained relationship between Ariel and Issy, but it was the only way that Issy could be protected. Now at the age of seventeen, Issy is a junior in high school, still clumsy and awkward around her classmates, but managing all the same. She found an outlet in photography, using her camera to express herself without words. Most of her teachers and even Ariel find her a joy to be around. She's quiet, well-behaved, and avoids trouble like the plague. Her classmates consider her a freak, unworthy of friendship by anyone other than the outcasts of the school. Issy was never troubled by it. Instead, she found companionship with those older than her when she isn't outside with her camera.[/width]

Two pieces of one whole

If it wasn't for bad luck, she would have none at all. She's late on her rent and most of her bills. Her boss is a creep. And to make matters worse, she's on the verge of getting forced out of school. Nothing in her life seemed to be going right, no matter how hard she works. To cheer her up, her friends decide to take her out for a night on the town, convincing her that for one night she should forget about her stress and enjoy herself. She goes along with it, expecting the evening to end with her going home early and trying to catch up on her schoolwork. What she doesn't expect is to meet a guy, and she certainly couldn't have predicted that they'd hit it off.

They spent the night together, both of enchanted with one another and feeling as if they'd known each other all of their lives. As the night ends, they part ways, but not without assurances that they would see each other again.

Waking up the following morning, everything feels different, although she can't quite put her finger on it. She assumes it's the excitement of a crush, the exhilarating rush that comes along with the promise of a possible relationship, and when the new man in her life admits to the same curious changes, they brush it off as nothing significant. It's not until the FBI storms into Amanda's apartment while the two are having dinner together that they realize there is far more to the changes in their lives than romance. Not only are they now targets of a secret government organization hellbent on turning them into lab rats, but they are caught in a battle between factions, both seeking to claim the new couple.

Background

They have been around since the Dark Ages, born to normal human parents, growing as normal human children. By all appearances, they are nothing out of the ordinary, at least until they find their mate. Their numbers started out small with only a hundred couples spread throughout the world. Finding their mate was difficult, and many died long before they found their other half. A few survived, finding their counterpart only to discover that along with their mate came immortality and superhuman powers that could not be explained. Most of the couples decided to blend in with the rest of mankind, using their powers and the knowledge gained through their extended lives to improve the world around them. Others decided to try cause havoc, using their abilities to turn the world to their advantage.

For a time, they were undiscovered, living amongst humans but unknown to them. That began to change as their numbers grew, and those who wished to gain control of the humans began to stir up trouble again. The start of the nineteenth century marked the beginning of the cleansing within their own ranks. The two sides split into factions; The Malcontent and The Docile. Believing themselves to be the more powerful, The Malcontent began to eliminate The Docile. With no other options, The Docile enlisted the humans to aide them, believing that the threat of The Malcontent would prevent the humans from turning on them. However, the more the human's learned about the Soulmates, the more envious they became of their powers and soon both factions were being hunted down.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, the Soulmates of both factions went into hiding, believing that the humans would believe they were extinct. What they didn't know was that the humans were studying them, learning what little they could about the Soulmates powers. They discovered that the gene, dormant inside humans, was passed down when two carriers reproduced. The Soulmate would not exhibit any powers at all if they did not find their other half. They grew and aged at the same pace as humans, were susceptible to all human illnesses and just as vulnerable as a human. It was only when they were joined by their mate that their powers and abilities began to manifest. Soon they began to track down the carriers of the gene, waiting until they had children and taking the children out before they could reach the age of eighteen.

With the advancement of technology, the Soulmates found ways to combat the attempts of humans to wipe them out. They infiltrated hospitals, switching records, test results, and at times, infants when it was necessary. They would monitor the babies as they aged, only approaching to recruit them once they finally met their mate. It became a race to get the fledgling Soulmate before the other faction.

Soulmate Rules

-All Soulmates have superhuman strength, speed, and healing once they have met their mate and only if they remain close to their mate. The further they get from their mate, the weaker they become.

-Soulmates are immortal. They do not get sick and will not die of old age, but they can be killed. It becomes easier to kill a Soulmate if they are away from their mate. If one mate dies, the other dies immediately afterward.

-Soulmates have three different types of abilities. One elemental, one psychic/telekinetic, and one physical. The abilities vary from soulmate to soulmate.

-With the elemental abilities, the Soulmate cannot create the element, only control and manipulate them.

-No Soulmate has the ability to resurrect or bring someone back from the dead.

-The longer Soulmates are together, the stronger they are.

-Soulmates cannot detect their mate until after their 18th birthday.

-The stronger the attraction between Soulmates, the stronger the abilities.

-Once a Soulmate meets their mate, there is no one else that will get their attention. They are unable to cheat on their mate and will feel disgusted if anyone else tries to touch them.

-Soulmates, in general, cannot procreate. However, there are a few exceptions to this.

-Once a Soulmate finds their mate, it is not love at first sight. They feel connected to one another, along with infatuation and lust, but not love.

-There is only one mate per Soulmate.
