| APPEARANCE: |
Alice stands 1.70m tall and weighs just around 55kg. She doesn't have a lot of visible muscle on her, since she doesn't do much of any strength training, but is very lean and nimble, packing quite the punch for the figure she has and uses the opponent's weight against them.
While she is one to wear golden headpieces, and dusty pink and off white colored clothes normally, she can't wear that outside of the bases. When she's away from the base, be it for a mission, or a 'fun' outing, she covers her body up completely. Not because she's ashamed of her body, but because skin contact sets off her powers, and she can't have that happen in a busy mall.
She doesn't smile a lot anymore, the work making her more serious and down cast. While she doesn't smile much anymore, she does wear deep red lipstick and the colors brown or black for smokey eyeshadow, standing off real strongly against her light skin.
Her nose is slightly rounded at the tip, and perks up a little, just like her brother's.
Alice tends to wear her golden blonde hair down, letting it flow straight till it reaches the small of her back. Her brother has been growing out his hair as well since he was a teen, joking to her that he was planning on beating her in length. A joke she took serious enough and therefore refuses to cut her hair (other than the ends to keep it healthy).
| CLASSIFICATION: |
Juno
| ABILITIES: |
Power Bestowal
Power Bestowal is the art of giving others extraordinary gifts. Although merely temporary, they can range from simple elemental control to full on immortality, dimensional travel, and matter alteration.
Upon touch Alice will give a random hype ability to that person which will last a limited time. The duration varies per power and it can not be influenced in any way.
The randomness of the given power however can at times be slightly manipulated and guided to give a more likely outcome.
| SKILLS: |
Alice is perfectly fluent and speaks nearly accentless in 6 different languages, 3 with an accent, and 9 she can sufficiently communicate in or read/write.

Alice is a skilled cook as well, though she doesn't get the chance to explore all her capabilities in that due to her position.
Since she was young Alice has been trained in various basics of fighting. This initially was to determine what kind of fighting style would best suit the child, and if she would have turned out to be a Hype, she would be more capable in fighting in a way that is best suited for her power. This proved highly useful for Alex' ability, while Alice has to avoid skin contact as much as possible.
As such she is mainly taught to use Tai Chi and use her opponents' strengths against them with the least amount of contact.
Although she is mostly taught in Tai Chi, Alice has taken it upon herself to learn more fighting styles, even if they don't come as easy to her as they do to her brother. She has to work real hard to remain anywhere near the level that Alex passes with ease. Despite that she is can handle herself in a fight with an average person. Just don't put her up against a fully trained martial artist. She'll definitely lose.
| LIMITATIONS: |
Alice's number one limitation is that it's touch based. In order to give someone a power, she has to have skin to skin contact with them.
The duration of how long the given power exists can not be influenced in any way.
If Alice touches a person the outcome of what the person receives is usually completely random. There hasn't been any form of a pattern to be found and ranges all across the map of possibilities.
She can not give multiple powers to a single person. She can however give the same person a new power once the initial one has worn out.
Because of the immense vastness of the amount of powers that exist, it's highly unlikely that she'd be able to give the same power twice in a row or within a short amount of time of each other.
So far there has not been a distinct limit to how many people Alice can give a power to at the same time. Alice however does have a feeling she might be more weary at the end of the day and need a bit more sleep if she has bestowed a lot of powers.
If Alice concentrates real hard on a certain general type of power (like elemental control, mind powers, appearance alterations) there is a likely chance that the bestowed power will be the desired power. This requires an incredible amount of concentration, focus, and will. It also takes a while to 'load' meaning it isn't really handy in a battle kind of situation.
However, even if she concentrates completely and does everything correct, there is still a highly likely chance that the desired power will not be given to the person. It is not an exact science, and therefore is very difficult to correctly train.
| WEAKNESSES: |
Alice can not gain any form of advantage of her own powers. While she could give someone the greatest gift on earth, she can not, ever, give herself any of the abilities.
Aside from the fact that she gives other people powers, she is fully human and the same as any non-hype person. No immunity against anything, no strengths that can ward off some kind of side effect. If it can harm a Sap (Homo Sapiens), it will harm her.
Her limitation in having to have skin contact is also her weakness. She has to avoid touching her opponents, and if an opponent knows this, they could target her very specifically.
An important factor to calculate in is the fact that Alice can not shut off her power. It's constantly present, constantly working, even if she's asleep or knocked out cold. They figure that if Alice is dead her power will seize working, but they have yet to test that theory. This means she has to stay constantly aware of her surroundings, as one error could mean a whole bunch of people that weren't intended to get powers, get powers. This is what mainly tires her out the most.
| APPLICATIONS: |
Alice's application for her power basically is as straight forward as it gets. Give her allies abilities that tip the scales in their favor in any circumstance.
Since her powers only last a certain amount of time, she has to be close by to her companions in order to allow them to be able to use their new power.
| WEAPONS: |
Depending on the mission she has to take care of, she'll pack for that. Most of the times she will have two knives hidden on her person and a gun strapped to her leg. Other than that she has been trained in long distance weapons such as a rifle.
| TOOLS: |
In normal situations Alice simply has her phone, her keys, and other small belongings in a purse or in her pockets. While a purse matches her personal style, it isn't always practical to have one hand occupied. If she has to bring a larger backpack or other form of bag she will have her phone, make-up and everything else in there.
She doesn't really work with a wallet, leaving her cash and cards just in a side pocket of whatever bag she has with her (or pocket of a coat).
When specifically out for a task such as an assassination, Alice will have a lock picking set, an extra pair of gloves, and bandages to temporarily patch up any holes in her suit that might have appeared.
| ATTIRE: |
Out in the field Alice wears a black and red full body catsuit, complete with gloves. On her belt there are various pouches for weapons, or other useful components in the field. She can't take a lot with her, but there are plenty of small things she can bring. Other than that she wears heeled boots.
Now that the weather has been turning worse, Alice will often be sporting a black coat with red fur lining. If she happens to come into a hand to hand combat situation, she will take off her coat to give her more maneuverability.
While she doesn't always do this, at times she does cover up her mouth and nose with a black cloth to conceal her identity further. This also is very nice and warm in the wintery scene she's currently in.
| BACKSTORY: |
On the 28th of June Alice was born to Viktor Sergei Koblenkov and Natalya Yankovsky as Alissandra Anastasia Koblenkov. Soon to follow was Alex, her twin brother, Alexander Andrei Koblenkov.
While the twins were born in a secret Black Lotus Base, their parents were not originally part of the Society. Their father originated from Russia. All they really know of his past was that he got his powers as a young lad and dealt in shady businesses before he fled to Poland at age 23. Here he was soon recruited by the Black Lotus Society and was where he met the beautiful Natalya, who was 15 at the time, and considered a valuable asset of the organization. The girl had been an orphan whose powers arose when she was 12. She had been found by chance by members of the Black Lotus Society. Being promised a better life than as an orphan on the streets, she joined the listings at age 13.
As life would have it, Viktor grew fond of the bright and lively girl and the two started dating. Unbeknownst to them, another had taken an interest in Natalya.
Natalya's ability was to boost the Hype-Gene, giving the hyperhuman a strong increase in their power. A power that, while not very useful on an assassination mission, was very desirable and useful to others. And so, not long after Viktor had come to the organization, he was separated from the girl he had fallen for. He figured that was the end of it, but roughly 8 months later Viktor was called into the office of one of his peers where he was given two squirming bundles.
With Viktor's power of being able to absorb someone's luck, causing a chain of unforeseen events, he had accidentally drained Natalya's luck, setting in motion a path in which the teenage girl had gotten pregnant with his children.
According to her father Alice's mother didn't want to take care of the children that were caused by bad luck, and had sent them away. So as children growing up, Alice and Alex resented their mother. As teenagers they however learned the truth of the matter. Natalya had been placed in a position in which she wasn't able to, and not allowed to take care of the twins, so they had been taken away from their mother by force.
Right now all they know of their mother is that she lives and is aiding in the most noble of causes, right by the Enlightened One's side. But, because of this, they are not allowed to meet their mother unless they would be able to prove their worth to the organization.
Just recently Alice and Alex got wind that while Alice was likely to be given a similar position as her mother's, Alex was forbidden to ever come near the Enlightened One or his Disciples.
Growing up under the wing of the Black Lotus was not an easy task. Alice and her brother were trained from the moment they were deemed ready in various basics of martial arts in order to find what would suit the children best.
Knowing that both parents were Hypes, the likelihood of the children being Hypes as well made them keep a close watch on the pair.
Since the BLS operates across the globe, the children were taught any basic language they might need, and to speak it fluently without any trace of foreign accent. Young Alice picked up the different languages with ease, while her brother tended to have more difficulty with it. The same was reverse for them when dealing with their physical training. Alex picked it up with far more ease than Alice, letting her fall behind quite easily and making her have to take supplementary exercises.
With her father being one that takes away people's luck, he often got 'loaned out' to various causes. One of the most common ones was being brought in by a casino to decrease the amount of luck people had at the tables, widening the gap between poor people, and the rich that hired him. Although he was never allowed to play himself, for the casino's safety.
Other frequent customers were those that had a target to take out that was just too lucky. In order to cause a chain reaction that would lead to a person's ultimate assassination, Viktor would feed off of that person's luck till there was little left.
With him traveling from coast to coast, and country to country, the twins were dragged all across the globe long before they even knew for sure if they had a power or not.
It was during one of Victor's many missions that the twins got their powers. They had just turned 12 a month before. As usual their father said goodbye for the day by kissing them on the forehead. First one for Alice, and then one for Alex. A habit he had picked up at some point.
That fateful day he was scheduled to sneak away luck from a target that would walk down the same street where they were temporarily stationed. He brushed by his target, and nothing happened. He didn't feel the slight tingle of the flow of luck, the target didn't get attacked by a dog, didn't trip over a loose tile, and worst of all, when the random shooter did appear that would allegedly have killed the target, two random bystanders were shot, but the target didn't have a scratch on him.
Thinking he had done something wrong he tried again with no results. It wasn't till the third attempt that the luck of the target seeped away and sent him to the hospital with a broken leg.
Puzzled by what had happened he returned home. There he realized what might have happened after he hugged his children. He didn't realize it because of some brilliant spark of the mind, but because after he had hugged Alice, he had heat vision that disappeared again right when Alex touched his hand.
Viktor always hugged his children one right after the other, so when he had paused and hesitated before hugging Alex, the two had exchanged a look. Something was up, even if their father didn't say anything.
The fact that something was off was even more confirmed when the next morning Viktor didn't even touch the children before leaving.
Being schooled at the base Alice and Alex decided to take matters in their own hands. One of the people out on the training floor that day was an Atlas class, capable of lifting around two tons of weight. Alex was the first one to brave an attempt and touched the man briefly just as he was intending to lift heavy a barbell. His strength was reduced to that of a normal person with his physic, meaning he couldn't lift them in the least, much to his surprise.
By the time that someone was called in to check on the matter, everything was back to normal, leaving the twins snickering on the side.
Figuring she had the same power as her brother, them being twins and all, Alice tested out her power by making physical contact with a Neptune controlling water. However the strangest thing happened. Instead of the water falling to the ground with the absence of power, fire shot out of the woman's hands, burning the dummy the Neptune had been working with.
It sent the entire room in lockdown mode to figure out what happened. Shocked about what happened the two immediately admitted that they hadn't meant to cause such a fuss, they had only been trying to learn what their powers could do. The twins weren't punished for their actions, and instead were put through rigorous testing to fully determine what their powers enthralled.
Alex was a frightening one to discover. His power shut off other people's powers for a limited amount of time, taking out any advantage his opponents might have had over him. His value increased drastically in the field. He would be most useful out where the action happens. Any fighting style could be used for his way of combat, especially high contact ones. He chose the direction of Krav Maga and tends to fight shirtless in order to increase chances for surface contact with opponents.
Alice's powers on the other hand were a little more puzzling to deal with. It took a while before they understood the full scope of her powers. She could give every possible power to people for a limited amount of time. Like a constantly spinning wheel of fortune that would hand out whatever was selected as soon as she touched someone. While great for allies, it wouldn't be great for opponents to have an advantage, so she had to cover up, completely, save for her head and hope she didn't touch others with her face. Also she didn't get the freedom to choose what kind of way she would fight. Tai Chi, and taking out targets in long range shootings. But most of all, she was placed on a more protective note, like her mother.
Years passed, and now that the twins had their own powers, they had their own missions. While Viktor was with them and their missions in the first few years, they eventually got split into different areas.
Despite their initial thought that they would still be traveling from place to place every few months, like they had done with their father, once the Koblenkov family was split up, the twins' traveling days slowed down. Their father had been an asset that had to be moved around frequently, while Alice was an asset that was preferred to be kept close and as little as possible on the road. And since Alice refused to go anywhere without her brother present, Alex too stayed put a lot more.
Despite Alice and Alex' powers requiring different tactics, the two have an uncanny ability to fight in sync with each other, making them a good duo out in the field. This has helped Alice to be able to get right into the action, as she otherwise would have been kept on support at all times. And in order to remain side by side with team mates, and especially Alex, she trains every day an exorbitant amount of time.
Interestingly enough, despite her brother being able to make off with any lady he comes across, Alice has difficulty finding anyone that is interested in her. True, there are tons of people that are interested in her, except most of the guys that sweet talked her simply wanted a taste of her power, and had no real interest in her as a person. She by now has come to the conclusion that she'll just end up being forever alone, since cuddling, kissing and more just don't really work great if you keep giving the person new powers. Doesn't mean she isn't interested in others though. She still swoons for fit guys working out shirtless in the gym, with exception of her brother, though the physic of women doesn't repulse her either, so she wonders if she might be bi instead of just straight. Then again, she figures she'll never figure it out with her own limitations and all.
The contact between them and their father is still there, it just has gotten less and less with how busy they have gotten. Right now he is somewhere in Poland, widening the gap between rich and poor through bad luck, while the two youngsters are over at the Pacific Base.
| SAMPLE POST: |
June 15, Yucca Base
A dusty breath of hot air rushed through Alice's hair. They were almost there, just across that dune.
"
Suit up." The driver called towards the back of the roll cage Jeep.
Over to the left hand side of Alice she saw how her brother suddenly pulled his white T-shirt over his head and threw it down to the floor of the vehicle. His way of 'suiting up'. Getting half naked and start flexing the muscles. If it was any other guy she might have ended up staring at the obvious eye candy, but this was her brother. As close as she was with him, she wasn't
that kind of close.
A sigh escaped her lips. Time for her to get ready as well. She started with strapped her weaponry to her person and fitted the belt around her hips. In all honesty, it was way too hot to be fully suited up, but this wasn't a matter of choice. At least she could wait till the last minute before zipping up her catsuit.
Alice and Alex, or Alpha and Omega as they tended to dub themselves while in 'fight' mode, were off to a training exercise in the middle of the scorching desert. They were to be dropped off, take out the security or go by undetected, and pick up a package that had been placed somewhere in the general vicinity. All the while having to deal with the burning desert sun and its lovely high temperatures.
The Jeep stopped just out of sight of the targeted location. Without another word Alex jumped out of the car, while Alice stayed behind a step to close the gap over her chest area and pull the gloves over her hands.
At first glance there didn't seem to be anyone near. "
You sure we at the right spot?" She whispered to Alex, who shushed at her right away. He pointed dead ahead towards what seemed to be a small box. Right, so this was the spot. Then where was the security they had to take out?
With an uneasy feeling rising from within they came to the box and picked it up. "
Let's get out of here." Alex said stark and turned right around to head back as quickly as they could. Unfortunately, that's when three guys jumped up that had been hidden from sight under a cover and some sand.
Muttering a curse under her breath Alice stood ready with her back against that of her brother's.
"
Two to one?" Her question was answered with a hum of approval.
They stepped aside slightly so Alex could face two opponents, leaving one in Alice' path.
"
How about you just let us pass and be done with it?" Alice said, knowing it wouldn't work anyway. From her brother's reaction she could tell he likely had rolled his eyes at what she had just said. At least this way the man charged at her first. Oddly enough that almost always worked. Start talking, and they'll lunge forward, instead of leaving a long, tense waiting period. Behind her she could already hear her sibling make the first move. Not exactly one to wait. But then again, why would he with his power?
Leaning over to the right Alice evaded the initial punch as her left hand pushed the arm away, opening the target up completely. With a quick and swift movement Alice brought up her right hand and slammed it up against the bottom of the man's chin.
She could hear how his teeth slammed hard against each other. Though it wasn't as horrifying as the bone cracking behind her. Instinctively Alice looked behind her to see if her brother was alright, which she already knew he would be. A beginners level mistake. Her opponent shot at her a second time, this time managing to land a punch dead center in her stomach, sending her backwards towards the ground.
Lucky for her, Alex had just wrapped up his fight and turned right around to help her. He quickly overpowered Alice' adversary and knocked him unconscious.
"
Eyes on the target, remember hot shot?"
"
Yeah, yeah, I know." She grumbled and reached up. He helped her to her feet and lend a hand to walk back to the Jeep.
"
Your face is red."
"
You think? I'm burning up in here." She complained and zipped down in order to cool off a little. Her brother laughed as they got in the vehicle.
"
Tough luck sis."
"
I seriously hope we have to do this in the snow one day." To which Alex sent her a foul glance.
