Name - Ashlyn Dawson
Nickname - Ashe
Age- 21
Occupation - Waitress/bartender
Seeker or Hunter - Hunter
Personality -
Ashe likes to call herself a mature, self-sustained woman that doesn't need no man; she is confident, strong, and self assured. She is proud of her entire self- the hunter part included- without a single doubt in her mind of her ability and strength. She dresses and acts as she pleases and goes where she wants to go. She doesn't let anybody boss her around, although she does listen to others- when they're polite. She has her own set of rules to live by and has no qualms about dropping people out of her life. She is straight forward in nearly every way, even with those she cares about- it's a nasty habit and an ugly truth. Despite her confidence, she doesn't have a stony exterior. She is friendly and talkative and considerate.
History -
Ashe was born into what once was a regal, upper middle class family. Her parents had had three kids- two were elder brothers to Ashe, and then the fourth was her younger sister. Her parents worked hard and lived happily, although after Ashe's mother died of a horrible cancer, her father became depressed. His business, one built up from scratch from the ashes of his father's old business, began to collapse. After his products were found to contain carcinogenic substances in them, his business was shut down. He was sued for thousands more dollars than he had available to him, and his family was sent out onto the streets.
They ended up living in a run down apartment building, Ashe only nine at the time, her elder brothers thirteen and fifteen, her little sister only four. Her father struggled hard to sustain them for the first year, but then began to succumb to alcohol. He would bring home a new woman every other night, and left the kids largely to fend for themselves. Around that same time, Ashe's elder brothers turned towards crime to get food on the table and clothes on their backs. It began with pick pocketing, but grew bigger as they joined a local gang and participated in store robberies and more.
Her second brother was killed at seventeen during a bank robbery; afterwards, the eldest sibling, who was nineteen, fought to remove the family from the gang they had become associated with. Their father barely noticed that one of his sons had died. However, Ashe had joined the same gang at twelve, the much adored runt of the gang-litter, and the gang was reluctant to let the two leave. Not reluctant, really. It was gang mentality. Once you get hazed in, you never, ever leave.
So they stayed involved, although strange things began to occur around Ashe. She took to smoking at a young age, perhaps around fourteen, and was constantly playing with a lighter. One night, out with a few older gang members, she was ambushed by another group. Her lighter, lit at the moment of the ambush, flared into a massive ball of flame in her hand. She shook her hand by instinct, but the motion sent the ball of flame directly into the face of one of the ambushers. The gang fled the scene, but later they found out that the boy she "attacked" later died of his injuries.
Ashe's powers began to grow, and even though her brother tried to hide it from the world, they still came out. The gang tried to use her to their advantage, but her brother refused; she was too young. The deal was that once she hit sixteen, they'd use her to rob the same bank they'd robbed years prior and "avenge her brothers lowly death". This was enough to convince Ashe. On the eve of her sixteenth, she snuck out of her home and followed them to the very same bank. The heist was going smoothly until a security guard caught them.
Ashe panicked under the pressure. She eventually did torch him, but he had called for reinforcements. Her powers practically fried the man into charcoal, and she was mortified. Needless to say the group got caught. She escaped with her brother, who followed her as soon as he noticed her empty bed. The rest of the gang members that were on the scene were arrested and charged.
The brother then decided to take Ashe, her little sister, and as much money as they could get and leave the city for good. They were on their way running, but other gang members confronted them- again, gang mentality. They accused Ashe of leaving her fellow "Brothers" behind, and attacked the two. The siblings managed to fight off most of them- it helps that Ashe has 'super powers'- but in the fight, she accidentally killed her own younger sister, who was shoved in the way by one of the members.
The two managed to flee successfully, although it was barely a success since their youngest sibling died. They made a new life for themselves in a new town- they got all new papers, a new home, and a new life. Ashe honed her skills in private, and she eventually met an older woman, another hunter, who taught her of her heritage and "job". She works with this woman at a local bar- the woman is the owner of the bar, and is still helping Ashe practice her skills.

#1
Smoke & Mirrors
Her first ability is somewhat illusion-work. Ashe has the ability to create smoke, as long as she has a source of flame, and then can manipulate thick clouds of smoke in multiple ways, typically in evasive or confusion maneuvers (although it is possible to choke out enemies with the smoke clouds). She can use clouds of smoke to escape the thick of a fight, mask herself for a sneak attack, or she can even use it to create the forms of herself or animals. These forms can "attack" enemies, although these attacks are essentially the same as choking the enemy with smoke, as the thick clouds rush towards the target at an alarming speed before wrapping around said target, often choking the target. Her smoke sometimes has a reflective quality, and dimly mirrors the surroundings (ex. If used in a forest, the smoke would look like a slightly blurred image of the trees around the smoke. If the smoke were to surround a person, that person would see blurry mirror images of themselves surrounding them).
Her smoke tricks do not fade away easily, and can be maintained as long as she has a flame/fire source and ample oxygen. In addition, she uses her own energy to power her ability, a resource that can really only be replenished with sleep and sugar. To create a smoke that contains reflective qualities, she also needs a source of water, particularly water vapor.
#2
Slight of Hand
Her second ability is more so involved with trickery and speed. Again, as long as she has a source of flame to begin from, she can create her own fire, and with it, her fire can take several forms. Her flames form above her hand as though they were a candle flame until she begins to use them actively, after which they take the desired form. Her flames can shape themselves to be a) a weapon b) a ball of flame or c) a wall of flame. All of these are quickly expendable; as they are fire, they make contact, set the target aflame, and typically disperse afterwards. The effects can be put onto existing weapons, but their duration is heavily limited by oxygen quantities in the air and how much energy Ashe has to expend.
Other - She likes to play with lighters and often carries protein bars around in her pocket.
Name: Zane Lovehart Age: 27 Occupation:Private Investigator Personality: He's a man with an air of refinement, never losing his cool in even the most stressful or tense of situations. His mannerism are reminiscent of a modern Casanova, entreating everyone, be they friend or foe, with the utmost kindness to the point it borders on flirtation. He's a charmer at heart, tending to compliment even his targets when he's hunting them if they manage to impress him. Hunter or Seeker: Hunter. History: Growing up in a middle-class household, Zane always strove to his best, constantly trying to improve and better himself. It was a mentality his parents encouraged and, as the years went by, he eventually 'created' the personality he has today.
In his middle years, when he exited highschool, his powers manifested, making him somewhat of a late bloomer. Yet, it brought about a significant change in his life. Naturally he showed his parents, knowing he could trust them above all else and it was then that he learned of his 'destiny'. His father explained to him that he hailed from a long line of Hunters whose sole goal was to bring about peace by 'cleansing the Earth of Seekers, who are harbingers of destruction'. He spent the next year with his father becoming accustomed to his abilities before being officially accepted into the secret sect of Hunters. Likes: Classical Music, Wine, Drama Films and Peace. Dislikes: Rude people. Partner: Elysia Relationship: Open(?) Power:
Appears on the back of both of his hands when he uses his powers. Precognition: A mental ability which allows him to foresee danger up to minutes before it occurs, though it usually only gives a few seconds warning. With his naturally heightened reflexes, it's a very useful ability.
Vitrumkinesis: Zane is able to create and manipulate glass, with the shards appearing from within his own body. Using this ability, he can manipulate the density of the glass he creates to the point it can survive blows from steel, and he can make it sharp enough to the point it can puncture some of the most durable of structures. He is also able to create glass bindings on his own person as a means to fly/levitate. [/tab]
[Tab | Elysia |]
Name: Elysia Annabelle Verssai Age: 25 Occupation:Police Detective Personality: A rough 'n' tumble woman who's more than willing to her hands dirty. She has an aggressive demeanor, having been 'accused' of police brutality on several occasions, though she's always managed to walk away from it. She prefers to do things her own way, hating people who are 'disobedient' to her orders. She's usually found in bars when not on the clock, having no real 'home' life. Hunter: Hunter History: Born to a family with a military history, her path was more or less set in stone. Her father was an ex-sergeant and her mother was too busy drinking herself into comas to even bother with her. As such, she formed a close bond with her father, mirroring her personality and mannerisms after his.
By the age of sixteen she was in a military boarding school and by the age of 18, she was in basic training. By the age of 19, she was in the middle east fighting a war she didn't care about, but she participated because it was her 'duty'. It was there that her powers manifested, though she remains tight-lipped on what occurred. After her four year tour was over, she returned to home to find her father had passed away and her mother found a new husband to leech off of.
Not wanting to stay in her home town any longer, she travelled for a while before settling down when she joined the police force. Her physical talent and military background allowed her to quickly rise to the rank of detective and while working on a case, she was 'invited' by a mysterious individual to 'protect the Earth'. Seeing no reason to turn them down as they knew about her ability, she accepted the invitation and was welcomed into the organization with open arms. Likes: Fighting, Alcohol, Sex, Getting what she wants. Dislikes: Prudes, Shrewd People, Snobs and Zane. Partner: Zane Relationship: Open. Power:
Appears under her right eye when she uses her Armor Creation. Superhuman Condition: A special power in which Elysia's body is constantly at peak-human condition, with certain aspects reaching superhuman. Her footspeed clocks in at 65MPH, equal to a cheetah and her body is durable enough to withstand non-fatal gunshot wounds (to an extent), a fall from a 6 story building and a small-to-medium sized explosion. She is strong enough to lift and throw a cars and other like-sized objects. Though, in terms of physical strength, that's where she peaks, only being able to flip over trucks and a few other large objects due to the strain being too much on her muscles.
Armor Creation: Elysia is able to create armor around her body. She rarely uses it as it draws too much attention to her, but she's fond of creating metal gauntlets to 'subdue' criminals that piss her off.[/tab][/tabs]
Name: Skylar Osiris Wilson Age: 18 Occupation: Pizza Delivery Guy Personality: A cheerful guy who spends most of his time hanging out with his friends or playing video games. He's an incredibly social individual who loves to meet new people and go to new places. He can be pretty much surprised by anything, and he has an innate curiosity for just about everything - be they an urban legend or the powers of others like him. He's a friendly guy who usually has a smile on his face, making him seem like an average teenage boy.
Some may say he has a hero complex, but he just wants to help people.
Seeker or Hunter: Hunter
History:Born to a Hunter and Seeker, Skylar's abilities first manifested at the age of five, common for children with parents that both have powers. Initially it was believed he would be a Seeker due to his ability to 'supercharge and amplify' the abilities of others like him, and as such he was trained to play a supportive role. It wasn't until 7th Grade that he was discovered to take after his mother in being a Hunter when his second power manifested.
Compared to most like him, he's lived a somewhat sheltered life, protected by both of his parents, but he's not ignorant to the plight of Hunters and Seekers. As such, after he graduated highschool, he immediately began to search for a Seeker so he could help others like him in 'the good fight', as his parents frequently put it.
Likes:Hanging out with people, Running, Eating, Finding out about new things, Video Games and Reading.
Appears on his back when using his powers. Superspeed: Skye is able to move at high speeds which are fast enough to break the sound barrier. This allows him to dodge most attacks in addition to strengthening his already enhanced reflexes. He can attack faster than most people can see, but his speed is equal to how much time he has to gain velocity. While he can move faster than most people, if he's ever stopped in a fight and attempts to resume combat, he'll be have lost the momentum he's gained, making it so he usually only moves about 50% faster than his opponent, though it may be faster depending on how slow they are. This is generally unimportant when dealing with most people, but when it comes to other people with powers, they'd still be able to combat him to some extent.
Amp: What was originally believed to be Skye's only power. It manifests itself in golden arcs of electricity which Skye can use to amplify the powers of other Hunters and Seekers. Unfortunately, he cannot use it on himself to increase his Superspeed, but he can use it in combat by sending it out in concentrated electricity blasts.
I think this is the first time I've created a character whose life isn't filled with tragedy...
Guess I'll just correct that over the course of the RP. Prepare for suffering, buddy.
Personality-
Through years of harsh training to remove emotions. Nex rarely shows emotions, normally keeping quiet with a cold expression. Trained to give fake expressions or emotions, though those trained in reading such things will be able to notice it. He constantly keeps up on all major events and able to get a calm read of situations to plan ahead, when he feels he has less than 20% chance of succeeding or surviving will retreat to rework his plans and how to proceed as he had been trained to do so.
Seeker or Hunter:
Seeker
History-
Given a fake history of being a brilliant and modest students who had shown capable of solving even some of the most tedious cases. When in actuality, taken as a young child after being chosen to be trained into an expert assassin. Even as a child, he had shown to be a prodigy at killing and handling situations and was given his big chance at the age of 11 when most don't receive such opportunities till the age of 15 and completed his first mission with little casualties. Only injuring his arm and a cut to the face.
Becoming an official assassin at the age of thirteen and one of the youngest in the agency as he continued to train and refine his skills. Splitting up his life between being an assassin and his normal daily life at school to keep up a front. It was decided that using the front of a detective. he would work as a seeker to gain a partner, doing so to allow him better chance of finding three very dangerous criminals who even the agency have struggled to gain any information or hints on their locations.

Power-
Motion Alteration:
This ability allows Nex to add the speed and power of a bullet or slow down to the slow pace of snails to objects both living or non-living by simply touching or throwing it. This allows him to throw any ordinary item and it would move at the speed or power of a bullet depending on its size as larger objects would be slower, but still pack the power of a bullet for long as Nex is able to throw it. To add to it, it can enhance guns capabilities to double the power of the bullets fired from guns or gun like weapons. This is where this ability is truly dangerous.
The left hand has the slow down effect and the right hand has the speed up effect as using this ability causes his arms to take on claw like appearances.
Have any of you decided on who to partner with? Please note, it's not immediate that you do so immediately (you can decide over the course of the RP). This is just me being curious, in all honesty.
PS: Hope to have the RP up by tomorrow, just a few things I wanna run by Karma.
