Nicknames- Commissioner

Chosen alias- None

Age- 63

Appearance-
tinkertailorsoldierspygeorgesmileypromotionalimagegaryoldman.jpg


Personality- Walter is very serious with his work. He is usually isolated in his office dealing with paperwork or planning. When his is out he is usually giving constructive criticism to some of the new recruits. He would tell them what they're doing right, then what they are doing wrong and telling them how to fix those wrongs. Other than that he is in his office.

Backstory- Not much is needed to know about the Commissioner. Walter was originally scientist who studied mutants. He had worked for the GMDA for a while until he was appointed Commissioner. He took the increased responsibilities well but it kept him isolated in his office most of the time. He plans to find a way to make it so he can get out of the office more, but it is easier said than done.

Power- None

His wings are very similar to a hawk's wings. His wing span is roughly 13ft.
Personality- Shall be shown over the course of the story

Backstory- Ethan's life started out well. He was born to a nice family, had three siblings, and some pets. He did well in school and was very active in sports. He was happy. But it all changed one terrible night. The family was coming home after going to the movies. The road was wet and slick from the downpour. Their car ended up over turning after a failed turn sent them tumbling down a hill. Ethan was flung from his seat into a fence post that held together a barbed wire fence. The impact against the fence post made a huge gash on his chest that went from his right shoulder down to his left hip. The barbed wire did a number on him too. He had small, deep gashes where the barbs dug into his skin. He screamed out in pain but no one answered. Meanwhile, the car was overturned with the family trapped in it, they didn't make it. A couple spotted the car lights about an hour later. Ethan was rushed to a hospital to have his wounds dressed, and be informed about his family. He was only 13 then.

With his parents and siblings dead, the only people he could turn to were his grandparents. They took him in and cared for him. Ethan was overcome with depression for about 2 years after the crash. He started showing signs of improvement during his sophomore year in highschool when he began making friends. He was once again happy. That same year was the year he discovered his power. Ethan and a group of friends went hiking one day on a mountain near his home. They were nearing a gap wear they would have to use climbing gear. to cross. His friends made it over fine, but Ethan's equipment broke when he was midway across. All he could hear was the screaming wind as he fell and his friends screaming his name. As he fell, he said his prayers and decided it was time to see his family again, but his journey wasn't going to end like that. Out of nowhere, a pair of wings sprouted from his back. He looked at them in amazement. "Wow" he thought. He tried to flap them a few times and he has able to slow his decent. He swooped mere meters off the ground, and flew back up to his friends. They had the same look on their faces as he did when he saw his wings. When he returned home to his grandparents he explained what happened. They were astonished, they're grandson was a mutant.

He continued to train his flight abilities for years after. Eventually he was able to master his flying skills and had learned that he could "retract" his wings. When he showed up at GMDA Headquarters at the age of 23, they thought he was just some normal guy, until he showed his wings. They accepted him into they're training program only to be shown that he had already mastered the art of flight, but they saw something else in him. When they told him to lift one of the bigger mutants there off the ground without the use of his wings, he was confused. Complying with their request, he tried to lift the man. Ethan was amazed when he was able to lift him with ease. He was some kind of a double mutant. After this he continued to train there. The Commissioner had taken notice to his skill. Having a private talk with Ethan, he asked him if he would like to be his "right hand mutant". Ethan accepted his offer and ever since then he has been the first face new mutants see when they enter the GMDA.


Powers- Flight via wings that he can summon at will. Ethan also has moderate super strength. He is able to lift a large man with ease.

Additional Info- Has a large scar on his chest going from his right shoulder down to his left hip. He also has many smaller scars on his arms, back, and legs from the barbed wire during the accident.

Name- Tara Ann Bennett

Nicknames- N/A

Chosen alias- Miss Remedy

Age- 20

Height- 5'1

Appearance-
Alexis-Ren-Halloween-2014-033.jpg

IMG_3204.JPG

Personality-

Tara comes from an affluent background, but she's anything but the classic snob. Tara is kind, generous, bubbly, and sometimes flirtatious. She's very driven and a penchant for overconfidence often leads her into compromising and potentially dangerous situations. Of course, that's an easy thing to do when your main power is 'not dying'.
She's loyal to a fault when it comes to friends and family and just as stubborn, willing to bend and break the rules to protect those around her. She has little allegiance to the GDMA, seeing it as more of a means to protecting innocents and less of a home. She can save lives with or without the organization.

Backstory-

Tara was adopted as an infant by a wealthy couple who were infertile and wanted a child. She grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, never knowing want.

From a young age, it was apparent Tara had talent. She was in gymnastics from the age of two, until she got bored of it and became a cheerleader in middle school. Tara was the best on her squad, but it was never enough, she wanted to be the best in the world. This ambition would lead her back to gymnastics and through talent alone she'd earn a chance to compete for the national title. In the qualifications round, however, her dreams would be crushed. A malfunction in the uneven bars would cause her to fall and land upside down on the back of her neck. The fall should've broken her neck and left her paralyzed, it did, but in the mere seconds it took for the paramedics to reach her a miracle happened. The live coverage would credit her lack of injury as a miracle. Tara would figure out it had to do with a mutant ability, her body healed at an unfeasible pace.

After the fall, gymnastics lost its awe for the girl. She'd finish high school as a cheerleader, a team player, humbled by the experience. Afterwards, she'd graduate from a two-year college and go on to become a flight attendant for an international American airline. Her double-life began almost immediately after the fall.

She took night classes in self-defense, she frequented a shooting club, her college degree was in Criminal Justice and Police Science. She became 'Miss Remedy', a young heroine bent on patrolling streets across the country. She wasn't very strong, but she could move in ways that seemed to defy gravity, and she could recover from any punch thrown her way. After a few years of quietly stopping robbers, rapists, and purse snatchers from Boston to Tokyo and back...Miss Remedy gained international fame after stopping a hijacking aboard the very plane she worked. Her cover was blown and the mask shed, but it was an easy trade to make for a job in the CIA, and subsequently, a chance at joining the GDMA.

Powers-

Cellular Regeneration:
As a result of mutant genetics, Tara's cells repair themselves at an astonishing rate. Cuts and scrapes heal in seconds and busted bones and organs in minutes. Bullets force themselves out. Because of this, she is almost immune to physical damage and age has become just a number.

To kill her, one would have to get creative...decapitation, suffocation, electrocution, drowning, and starvation are all still very deadly. Gunshots, knives, and cars aren't so much. Her ability is passive in nature. She doesn't control it, it just happens. While her ability makes dying very difficult, it cannot bring her back if she does pass away.

Enhanced Motor Skill: A combination of athletic conditioning, natural talent, and her mutant gene, Tara's reflexes are much faster than the average person. She won't be dodging any bullets, but she can land a plethora of acrobatic stunts with ease. Balance and dexterity are amongst her strong suits. Her flexibility matches that of a professional body contortionist.

Additional Info-
Tara usually fights with her body, but she does carry two semi-automatic handguns in case things get nasty. She's skilled in the use of both, having experience on the street under her alias.

Tara prefers to incapacitate crooks, as opposed to killing them.

Name- Suzanne Shannon

Nicknames- Suzie

Chosen alias- Lady Silver

Age- 25

Height- 5'6"

Appearance
agents-of-shield-season-3-daisy-johnson.jpg


Personality- Suzie is very professional, focused and controlled, due to spending all of her life being trained as a fighter. She can often come across as socially awkward or shy, having only spent time with a handful of her peers before joining the GMDA. Others do find Suzie friendly and approachable, but they have to work a little harder with her considering her inexperience at forming new friendships.

Backstory- Suzie never had a "normal" upbringing. Her father worked in weapons development in the US Defence Agency and his wife was a scientist for the same agency. From being a toddler, Suzie's ability to affect metal began to show. With the growing threat presented by some mutants, her parents didn't hesitate to bring Suzie in to their employers. The family were moved into a protected home on one of the army bases, where Suzie's development could be monitored. They realised the child could be trained to used her abilities for good. This became the only life Suzie knew and as such, she worked hard and put all of her effort into becoming an effective soldier and making her superiors proud.

When her father began to suffer with poor health, both parents retired from their positions and moved back to their old home, away from the agency. Suzie realised there was a whole World outside of the military base, so she requested a transfer. Recently, her employers gave a strong recommendation on her behalf to the GMDA. and she has been accepted onto the team.

Powers-
Metal Manipulation

Additional Info:
- Has only been in one relationship, which ended 2 years ago
- Skilled fighter and acrobat
- Trained in use of firearms

Name: Daniel Olsen


Nicknames: N/A


Chosen Alias: Morse


Age: 19


Height: 5'9


Appearance: Scrawny and thin, Daniel is something of a lightweight for his height. To conceal this, he usually wears loose, baggy clothing such as hoodies several times too large for him, usually hiding his figure pretty well. However, he opts for a more utility-focused suit when working, with large numbers of pockets and storage space, always black. His face is not particular notable other than his eyes, which seem to be entirely black. His past has left unable to grow head hair, and as such he usually wears a cap to cover the top of his head.


Personality: Being raised largely disconnected from the outside world has somewhat limited his understanding in general. Although his social ability is unhindered (it's not like he was raised in isolation), his lack of knowledge of seemingly trivial things often makes him come across as awkward. His upbringing has also made him very subservient, performing almost anything from the most menial tasks to the most dangerous without question, if he views the request as coming from someone higher-up in the organisation than him.


Backstory: Daniel was one of a large number of subjects selected to take part a government programme, specifically set up to attempt to artificially induce latent mutant abilities in subjects, with the eventual goal of militarizing the technology. Unlike most other subjects, Daniel was raised from a very young age inside a government compound, with his body being modified gradually over his lifetime. The exact reason for this is currently unknown to him.

At the age of 17, he was utilized in a portion of the programme that aimed to activate shapeshifting abilities, after screening for subjects that presented genetic pre-disposition to such powers. Soon enough, they had functioning shapeshifters, most able to absorb and manipulate matter to reshape themselves constantly.

However, problems soon arose. Many of the shapeshifters were unable to properly restrain their powers, and soon found themselves irreversibly altering their own bodies in fatal ways, removing vital organs with an accidental thought. Casualties were high, with most subjects dying within days. As such, Daniel's abilities were severely limited artificially, allowing him to only change the size of his matter, rather than shape, and preventing his own body parts from ever being deleted entirely.

The intent behind this was to work backwards - to slowly remove these limiters as he learned to control his powers. However, the programme was shortly shut down after his first treatment, as a result of both public and government outrage at the high number of deaths associated with the project, citing "unethical practice". Daniel, with no known family, was subsequently recruited by the government as part of the GMDA, and given basic training. With no other purpose in life, he simply followed through.


Powers: Daniel's powers usually manifest as the ability to change his size, shifting excess mass into a personal pocket dimension. This allows him to shrink to potentially any size, the smallest recorded being a tenth of a millimeter. When in this state, his strength and physical abilities scale appropriately, although his endurance and resistance to damage continues to behave as if he was still full-sized. Currently, his powers can be extended to other objects such as clothing and equipment, allowing him to shrink them too. In theory, this would work on living subjects too - however, he has never attempted this due to the untested risk of causing immediate death.

Recently, he has also developed a secondary ability that relates to this. By absorbing an object completely into his pocket dimension, he can effectively store them indefinitely. They can then be recalled back to the real world, although he currently struggles with this, with objects often re-materializing a meter or two from where he intended. This could be developed into a worthwhile combat ability, but for now, he merely keeps a small, loaded handgun ready inside his pocket dimension for emergencies.


Additional Info: Although it greatly reduces his effectiveness in hand-to-hand combat, Daniel's light frame makes him quite stealthy, even at full size. This was further improved by the infiltration training he received under the government. Other than this, his combat skills are largely undeveloped, instead being more useful as a utility unit.

As part of the programme he was involved in, a chemical known as PDX-734 was manufactured specifically for him. When inhaled, this cuts off Daniel's access to his own pocket dimension temporarily, locking him to his current size, for up to 48 hours, depending on concentration. This substance is harmless otherwise, and only exists in small amounts kept within the government.

Unbeknownst to the both of them, Lexa Gilliam is his sister.
 
Name: Lexa Gilliam


Nicknames: N/A


Chosen Alias: N/A


Age: 23


Height: 5'8


Appearance: Lexa is considerably well-built, although not abnormally so for her size. Her eyes and hair are usually the first thing people notice about her, being bright green and red respectively, to what is perhaps an unnatural degree. This is accentuated by her equally unnatural pale skin.

To aid her ability, she almost always wears a grey skin-tight suit that covers everything but her hands, head and feet, even when wearing other clothing. This suit responds to her abilities, changing size and composition much like her actual skin. She also wears a thick pair of plastic, shatter-proof boots - these can stretch to accommodate her size changing to a certain degree, but are eventually destroyed by the increased structural demands.


Personality: Lexa often comes across as being quite strong-willed, occasionally even aggressive, even when the situation doesn't demand it. Apart from this, she seems happy enough to interact with other members of the GMCA (and enjoy it) and is fully capable of working in a team, although preferring to have a more leadership-type role.


Backstory: Initially growing up in an orphanage, Lexa has never known her parents. Never really settling down, she was passed from care home to care home from the age of 12, and wasn't adopted or fostered long enough to form any permanent attachments. As such, she chose to live alone when she turned 18, eventually finding work as a store clerk.

This was enough for her, and she was able to settle down for a couple of years. However, soon her abilities became apparent, when she started developing odd cravings - concrete, steel, practically anything at some stage. She ignored them for as long as possible, for fear of being 'weird', but eventually gave in to her temptations, devouring a section of copper pipe. She was surprised by the ease of this, but was unaware of the effects until a few hours later, when she inadvertently dented a solid brick wall.

As she learnt the extent of her abilities, she naturally abused them for her own purposes, earning the name of 'Titanica' in the city of [REDACTED]. This, of course, attracted the attention of the GMCA, who approached her with the offer of "peaceful cooperation". While not overjoyed with the idea of being controlled in this way, she reluctantly accepted, hoping to curb her more aggressive tendencies.


Powers: Lexa's abilities revolve around being able to consume almost anything, with her digestive system being capable of processing and breaking down most materials, including metals and rocks. As most of these do not contain usable sources of energy, they are instead incorporated into the skeleton, muscles and skin, acting as structural reinforcement, granting properties such as increasing strength and resistance to damage, to the point of being essentially bulletproof in the final stages.

When large amounts of mass is consumed, in addition to these effects, her size steadily increases proportionally, with density remaining the same after a certain point. Although there is no known limit to this (largest recorded height is 300ft, although she claims to have attained larger in the past), this is regulated by the increasing energy needs. This requires vast quantities of organic material to be consumed simply to maintain movement - if this cannot be met, her size decreases gradually as the body uses existing reserves.


Additional Info: Lexa has had basic hand-to-hand combat training, although she is much more proficient in the use of firearms when at normal size.

Daniel Olsen is her brother, although neither of them are currently aware of this.
 
Name- Kyle Drake

Nicknames- Ky

Chosen alias- Beast

Age-18

Height- 5'10"

Appearance-
_8846338.jpg


Personality- Kyle is a joking and fun loving kid beyond comprehension. There are not many things he takes seriously. Despite his joking persona, he is actual very loyal and protective of those he calls his friends. He will throw himself in the way of danger to help a friend out. When fighting he is very aggressive and rarely a defensive fighter.

Backstory- Being born in downtown Detroit, things were rough. His father was a cab driver and his mother was a waitress. With four kids, that wasn't always enough money. His father eventually dabbled into drug dealing but he kept it secret and said it was just a raise. But even with the drug money there wasn't always enough. Kyle, along with his three brothers, went to school in their neighborhood. The school was where a lot of drug deals went down. He always despised those dealers who would just stand out there trying to sell to kids. During Kyle's off time he was usually doing some parkour or just simply running on the rooftops. He built a surprisingly well agility by this.

In his early teens his schedule was still about the same; school, running. Though his schedule was they same, what happened wasn't. When he was 11 his family's apartment was robbed. Kyle was the only one awake at this point. He saw them standing in the living room with the tv in their hands. He wasn't just going to let them take it, he was going to do something about it. He thought of the toughest and most dangerous animal he could think of. But something he didn't expect to happen occurred, he turned into a tiger. Not wanting to waste time, he went after the thieves and left his confusion and amazement for later. Injuring the two severely, he transformed back into his normal self. Hearing the commotion, his parents and brothers woke up. They looked at the two bandits. Seeing the wounds they sustained, they asked Kyle what happened. He said "I thought of a tiger, and next thing you know I am one". The authorities arrived after his mother called the police. They arrested the two robbers and put Kyle on a mutant watchlist. He continued his life as usual with some experimenting with his power during some roof top runs. When he was legal age, he decided he would go to the GMDA.


Powers-
Shape-shifting: Kyle is able to transform into any non extinct animal. He usually transforms into a mammal.


Additional Info- When he transforms his closed are sent to some kind of pocket dimension until he turns human.

Name- October Bennett

Nicknames- None

Chosen alias- Mineral

Age- 24

Height- 5'4''

Appearance-
long-curly-hairstyles-for-black-men1.jpg

Personality- October is a quiet guy. He's not stuck-uppish, though he may seem that way at first glance. Rather, he likes more to observe than to act. He often plays out scenarios and conversations in his mind, but shies away from opportunities to act on them. He has a gentle touch, and prefers to remain on the sidelines than fight. October's perception of pain is very low, meaning he can take quite a beating without succumbing to pain. This is not a power, but rather something that stemmed from his ability.

Backstory- October's life had been simple. His father, a single parent after his mother left, did his best to raise his only child as best he could, but there were times when want was great in the Bennett household. But October he been a bright and happy child, easing his father's burdens with his mere presence. October adored school, which his father struggled to afford, but was able to complete his final year of high school by taking on a few jobs of his own.

October's mind only grew stronger, and he won a scholarship to a noteworthy college, allowing him to nurture his love for chemistry. He soon found himself at the top of his class, but October never gloated. He dove into the exploration of DNA, and it was on the same day where he discovered an extra something in a drop of his blood that his powers emerged. While examining his own DNA out of curiosity, October was stunned to see the blood beginning to harden an crystallize. Within seconds, crystal formations began to spring from his arms, triggered by something unknown.

October was frightened, which stopped the growth of the crystals, but they remained poking out of his arms. He pulled one out, which felt like yanking on a thorn, but it came loose and remained whole. October began to experiment with his newfound ability, and it wasn't long until the GMDA discovered him and recruited him.

Powers- October is able to voluntarily grow crystals of an unknown substance from any part of his body. These crystals are extraordinarily hard, and October is able to grow them into different shapes. The crystals can only be removed by pulling them out, in which they leave a bruise-like mark on the skin, and do cause some pain to remove.

Additional Info- Nope.

Name: Joseph Randolph

Nicknames: Joe

Chosen Alias: Blaze

Age: 25

image.jpeg

Personally: Joe is an understanding and layed back guy. He prefers to be down to earth or straight forward about things. He may come off as a pessimist, but he just knows the reality. Joe has never been in a big rush about things, we'll all get there eventually. This attitude allows him to more patient then most people.

Backstory: Joe grew up a normal life as a kid. He was good at sports, popular, getting good grades and had a bright future ahead of him. His father was a commercial pilot. So fallowing his footsteps, he went to college for aviation. It was here that he learned he wasn't as usual as he thought. He discovered he could create fire on his very fingertips and move it around with mere thoughts. Though his discovery was exciting he kept that knowledge to himself.

Joe eventually managed to land a job at a major aviation company. He worked quickly through the companies ranks and began flying cargo for them. Also during this time he became engaged with the love of his life. Things where looking good in his life. However, not everything was looking up. His powers, they where becoming far more eradicate, harder to control. He thought he could manage his powers but he was wrong. On the flight home from a delivery he lost control of his powers. The plane caught fire and crashed far from any help.

Joe managed to survive the crash, but the reality of the situation hit him. If he could control his abilities, those around him or his loved one would end up getting hurt, or worse. The best option was to remove himself from the equation. Luckily those who knew him thought he died in that plane crash. Joe spent his time off the grid, trying to suppress his powers or at the very least control them. He lived that way for along time, that was, until he heard of the GMDA...

Powers: Joe is able to generate and manipulate fire, controlling it at will
