CALEB RIVERS

30

MALE

TATTOO ARTIST

Height: 6'4
Weight: 220lbs
Eye: Hazel
Hair Color: Brown
Orientation: Heterosexual

Power: Telepathy
Power Weakness: Doesn't work on those who don't have minds (i.e.: the dead); can't penetrate a mental shield without using a lot of energy, and even then it's a maybe; thoughts can overwhelm him and be loud if they're very intense; has to concentrate hard to search for a specific thought.
Skills: Drawing; giving (and getting?) tattoos; being antisocial

Personality:
Caleb isn't what you could call the 'friendly' type. If a woman has resting bitch face, he's got resting-don't-talk-to-me-face. Most of the time he wears a scowl or a frown, even when tattooing. Although he can easily get lost in drawing art on someone's skin, since it's like an escape for him, he isn't very talkative or interested in people's stories. Most of the time, he can just delve into their mind, or if their thoughts are loud enough, they just come into his mind and he knows the story anyway. Independent and stubborn as a mule, he's a fighter not a lover. He's the type to throw a punch and ask questions later, as his fuse is a pretty short one.

The only person who he cares about is Arianna, and that's only because he sees her as a little sister. She stumbled into his life quite on accident, and almost blew both of their covers. He's protected her ever since, and would lay down his life for her because he is fiercely loyal to those he does care about.

Background:
Caleb grew up in a world where people like him were feared, and people hate what they don't understand. Unfortunately for him, his parents were the same-- they didn't understand how he always knew what they were thinking, what they were feeling. They feared their own child, who of course, was too young to understand that he shouldn't be so forthcoming with his abilities. His father, trying to protect them all, taught Caleb to hide them from others because it wasn't normal. And it wasn't, not really. Although more people had gifts than anyone realized, some were just better at hiding it than others.

The government caught wind of Caleb when he was just eleven years old. They stormed his home, and his father died protecting his son. Caleb and his mother ran, and he feels as though he's been on the run ever since. Almost twenty years of hiding, of making sure that the government didn't catch him. His mother began drinking while he was in his teens, unable to deal with the death of her husband, so Caleb learned at a young age how to take care of himself. She distanced herself from Caleb the older he got, until she just dipped one day, leaving Caleb-- now an adult-- on his own. He learned how to make his own way, having already discovered his love for drawing.

With this, it was easy to find a tattoo shop where he could become an apprentice, learning from the best. He's moved around quite a bit, though recently has settled in a semi-small town, where he can hopefully live without being discovered.

"Hi! I'm Ari."

ARIANNA JAMISON

26

FEMALE

BARTENDER

Height: 5'3
Weight: 120lbs
Eye: Hazel
Hair Color: Blonde
Orientation: Heterosexual

Power: Storm Manipulation
Power Weakness: Her powers are still controlled by emotion, so the more emotional she gets, the more powerful her storms. She can create a storm inside or out, big or small, based on how she's feeling. It's harder to reign in an emotion-based storm.
Skills: Being social & friendly; singing; listening

Personality:
Arianna is a much, much friendlier person than Caleb. She loves meeting new people and getting to know them, and it's only because of her that he does so at all. She drags him to social events and has a ball, while he sulks in the corner. She's a natural social butterfly. She, like Caleb, is stubborn as a mule and is one of the few to not back down despite whatever look or glare he may give her. She's not afraid of him, or anyone, and wants to be able to make the world a better place. She is still quite emotional, though Caleb has been helping her become better at controlling her emotions so she's not a wreck, literally and figuratively.

Background:
Arianna had a similar upbringing as Caleb, although they wouldn't know it until they met years later. As a baby, who can't communicate past crying and shrieking, you can imagine the turmoil her mind went through. When she would get frustrated, she would conjure a storm inside her home, creating winds that would destroy everything in their path and rain that would soak them all to the bone. The more frustrated she would get, the worse it would be.

Her parents loved her very much, and knew what would happen if they turned her in. So they did their very best to keep her happy and healthy, but they should have known that they were no match for her. Somehow they made it through her childhood years, but things went to hell as she turned into a preteen. Temper tantrums were the norm, and one day-- there was no turning back.

The lightning from her tantrum storm struck the couch, setting it on fire. The fire spread rapidly, and though she and her father were able to get out, her mother was trapped inside. Arianna will never forget the screams. Although she and her father moved away, she never forgot, and a part of her believes he never forgave her. She left his home at eighteen, never looking back, looking for someone like her. She found Caleb accidentally at the age of 22, stumbling into his shop drunk, wanting to get a tattoo and crying about storms.

He must have recognized the ability within her, for her snatched her up and took her to the back so she could sober up. They've been together ever since, and she hasn't touched alcohol since.

[WhipDing]

Name: James Willow
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Height: 5’7
Weight: 54kg
Eye Colour: Brown
Hair Colour: Black
Orientation: Heterosexual
Occupation: N/A

Power: Size Manipulation – James has the ability to reduce the size of his body, along with any objects or people he is in contact with.
Power Weakness: Changing size requires a significant amount of energy – this is dependant on how much mass he is changing, and how much it is being changed by. As such, in practise, he can only shrink one or two other people in addition to himself, else risking being stuck at that size until he can rest for an extended period time. Despite a slight increase in durability when shrunk, he is still quite fragile in this form, and his physical attributes scale as expected.
Skills: Due to spending long periods of time under the influence of his own ability, he is very proficient at climbing and on-foot travelling.

Personality: James is largely reclusive, and doesn’t talk an awful lot. That isn’t to say he’s afraid of people – he just doesn’t really find much reason to engage with them, and hasn’t had much chance given his past. Despite this, he still does care about others, although he often chooses to hide this, with the view that this displays vulnerability, which is something he does enough considering his ability.
Background: James was born to a reasonably well-off family, the youngest child of a pair of typical middle-class parents. His upbringing was relatively normal and uneventful, being educated much like any other teenager would have, although he lived slightly in the shadow of his older siblings. However, his abilities activated at the age of 16 while on a school trip, and he soon found himself lost in a world that was much, much larger than he was. It took five more years before he figured out how to control his ability, remaining permanently shrunk for that time. As such, he views the world and the people in it in a very different light, finding it difficult to see himself as part of humanity. He has tried to reintegrate into society in the past, but soon returns to his scavenger lifestyle, as he currently is living.

 

[WhipDing]

Name: Amy Chimera
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Height: 6’1
Weight: 84kg
Eye Colour: Green
Hair Colour: Red
Orientation: Homosexual
Occupation: Admin Assistant

Power: Extreme Jumps – Amy has the ability to jump to superhuman heights, scaling with her current physical fitness. Currently, this is roughly 150m.
Power Weakness: Naturally, jumping multiple times in a short period of time can be incredibly physically exhausting. She also must land on her feet when falling from a large distance, as her body is only capable of dealing with the force when that configuration – any other position, and she will deal with the landing as badly as anyone else would.
Skills: She is relatively well-trained in close-quarters sword combat. She also can use small handguns, although she has much less experience with this.

Personality: Amy is known for being quite full-on, never being afraid to speak her mind. She can come across somewhat mean-spirited at times, but ultimately she means well. Although she may not be the most sociable person in the world, she isn’t one to push people away when they need help either, considering how reliant she has been on others in the past.
Background: Amy suffered a rocky childhood, with her parents giving her very little attention as she was growing up. This, of course, lead to her becoming somewhat attention-seeking as she became older, getting louder and more unruly. Eventually, she was kicked out of her home at 18, and left to fend for herself. She adapted quickly to this, and has lived on her own since, with the intermittent short-lived relationship. Her only long-term partner abandoned her at the age of 25, when her ability began to emerge, something she has never truly recovered from. This led to her attempting to reconnect with her family somewhat, only to find they were equally spiteful about it. As such, she has been left with a deep-set loathing of her ‘gift’.

29

Male

Heterosexual

Leader of the bunk

​

❑ Dark Brown Eyes ❑ Blond Hair ❑ 5"11' ❑ 170lbs ​

Nightmare Manipulation is the ability to enter and manipulate dreams into nightmares. Can turn any dream into a nightmare and torture their victim with it which can even cause death to the victim. Will have the ability to sense fears through the nightmares and be able to exploit them. The person has to be asleep for him to get into their heads. Being that this is a mental power, Gavin gets irritable after prolonged use. If the potential victim has no fear, his power will not work. Needs to be able to picture this person in his head in order to infiltrate their dreams.

Some of the skills he's picked up along the way are drawing, manipulating others and being resourceful.

Personality: Gavin has a friendly demeanor but can get quite irritable at times. It's like he has two personalities. One likes to be with people while the other prefers to be left alone in seclusion. As one of the leaders of the bunk he prides himself on taking care of everything. His does have a habit of accidently slipping into people's dreams and causing nightmares while he's sleeping.

Background: Gavin bounced between homes all of his young life. Most of his foster parents dubbed him "Demon" because of the horrible nightmares that snared them each night. As he was continually dumped back into the system the government decided to take a closer look at him. At sixteen, they brought him into their "Processing Tank" and ran all sorts of tests. Some hurt. Some didn't.

In the Tank there were others like him. Others with powers who were being worked over too. The concocted a plan. When one was being worked on, they let you use your powers to their full extent. Some people could latch onto others and strengthen their powers. In the end, the building exploded. Some gifted were able to escape - Gavin being one of them. They had to take out chips that broadcasted their location and other information before they could go any further. It hurt. Like bad. Gavin and a few other escapees took it upon themselves to start a place to help other gifted escape the torture of the government.
