Name: Margot Alphonse
Abel Orson
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality:
Abel likes to think of himself as a complex individual but he's really just an asshole that's far too full of himself. He's headstrong, close minded, very stubborn and very opinionated. He likes to run his mouth, talk a lot of shit and generally be obnoxious. He has a very self serving, addictive personality which doesn't always lend itself well to working with a team but he's capable of setting his own ambitions aside to achieve a goal when required to. Abel is used to relying on his physical attributes to carry him through a situation and as such is no great thinker or tactician. He can be provoked to anger and violence fairly easily, especially by people who are far more intelligent than him and can push his buttons in just the right way. With that being said he can be manipulated fairly easily. Stupid people can often be cruel and he is no exception to this rule but at least he feels bad about it later.
If ever someone were to inquire about his personal life or really try to get to know him he'd snap at the drop of a hat and storm off; he's just incapable of dealing with that jumbled mess. He may not me the most 'good' person out there but he's not all bad. Abel is capable of human decency and will more often than not choose to do the 'right thing' when put to the task. A part of Abel really does care about people and things, he just has difficulty showing it.
Physical Strengths/Weaknesses: He's strong- he knows it and anything that gets in his way will to. He's a good shot as well though only when it comes to handguns. He lacks the proper finesse for using knives, preferring to just pummel things with his fists.
Mental Strengths/Weaknesses: Surprisingly he can come up with a pretty solid strategy on the fly. Obviously he wasn't put into the group to be 'brains' of the team but he can hold his on in the field of combat analysis and tactics.
Abel doesn't see it as a weakness but if you ask any of his trainers they'd tell you his biggest flaw is his black and white view of the world. They've tried to train it out of him but couldn't get through that thick skull of his. As such he would never be given a prominent role of leadership despite how much he craves it because he simply cannot see situations objectively for what they are.
Hidden Desires:
As ridiculous as it sounds Abel wants what every human wants at their core- love. Of course romantic love would be great but he's always wanted a family. What was it like to have parents? Siblings? A unit bound not only by blood but by unconditional love? Something he's never experienced and is honestly dying for.
Hidden Fears:
For someone who acts like he needs no one, Abel is rather terrified of being abandoned again. He never wants to be anyone's last choice, an afterthought. A burden even. Undesirable.
Bio:
Abel grew up in the foster system, abandoned from birth by a mother far too young to properly care for him. The early years of his life weren't so bad. He could still have hope as a pre-teen. Young enough to still have a chance at a family. Abel would watch with wide eyes as other kids were adopted, excitedly but patiently awaiting the day that it would be his turn. But as the years went by and he grew older and the interest in him lessened it became glaringly clear that he was alone and very well may always be. He more or less faded into the background then until he turned 18. By then he was considered an adult and free to be on his own. There was no one to help him, to guide him through life as an adult and as a result he suffered. Traumatic events that he'd rather die than dredge up now. But eventually the teen found his way to the army. He threw himself into the training and quickly rose through the ranks. He gained a reputation for being willing to do any and everything asked of him no matter the risk. There was nothing holding him back, no family he had to stay safe for so why not? Apparently that was an attribute the CIA found most interesting as they plucked him out of his squad and immediately began training him for Subdivision work.
Name: Sierra Faux
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Questioning
Personality: Sierra is very naive, her sheltered upbringing making her very unsure about how to act in social situations that aren't orchestrated by the CIA for a job. She gets excited meeting new people, and wants to bond with them over her favorite books, movies, and internet memes. Sierra yearns for companionship with somebody in her age group, and hopes that every person she meets will be somebody she can call a friend.
Physical Skills/Weaknesses: Hand-to-hand combat. Her aim isnt that bad either, but guns are a something Sierra saves as a last resort. Her small size also makes her decent at stealth if the situation arises, although most of her jobs for the CIA havent had to fall back on hard espoinage. Sierra would prefer to avoid conflict if she can.
As for her weaknesses, being deaf has some major disadvantages. Sierra can read lips with absolute accuracy, but she cant truly hear what is going on in her surroundings. Sierra does her best to make up for it with a heightened perception and sense of smell, but that can only do so much.
Mental Skills/Weaknesses: Sierra has quite the knack for learning languages, and currently speaks five. Currently, Sierra is learning to read and crack ciphers. Its going well, but she has a way to go before she is proficient.
Sierra also suffers from anxiety although she does her best not to let it show.
Hidden Desires: She wants to live a normal life like other people her age. Go to college, make friends, date, visit the beach, drink and do drugs. Wait...that's a thing other twenty-two year olds normally do, right? Or did the movies exaggerate?
Hidden Fears: Sierra lives in constant fear of being a disappointment or failure in the eyes of her guardian and peers. She also really, really, doesn't like the idea of being truly alone or abandoned. When Sierra has nightmares they often involve her being the last person alive on Earth and she must live out the rest of her life in solitude.
Bio: Sierra never knew her birth parents. She was placed into the foster system after being born, as her mother believed she was too young to take on the responsibility of raising a child. Sierra's first foster family noticed something seemed off about Sierra after she had been living with them for almost a year. Sierra did not seem to show any response when they spoke to her, or to the sounds around her. Doctor's confirmed that Sierra was, in fact, deaf. Not wanting to deal with any extra expenses or care that came with caring for a deaf child, Sierra's first family released her back into the foster system where she was passed from household to household. As she grew, Sierra learned how to read lips with scary-accurate proficiency, as people tended to treat her better when she didn't use American Sign Language. It was when Sierra was around eight that a special subdivision of the CIA took interest in Sierra and took her under their wing.
CIA agent, Diane Faux, plucked Sierra out of the foster system and assumed guardianship. Sierra was thrilled to finally find a permanent home, and with somebody who might actually care about her. But, Agent Faux had other plans. Sierra's talent for reading lips put her into a rigorous training program for gathering intelligence. Being young, and deaf to boot, made Sierra a great tool for espionage. Over the years Sierra was taught five total languages (Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, French, and German) in order to make her as effective in the field as possible. Due to her relationship with the CIA, Sierra was kept isolated from other people her age for most of her life. Sierra lived in comfort, with Faux's paycheck providing her with just about anything she could want or need. But, Faux's money couldn't fill the loneliness she felt weighing her down most of the time. Her friends all consisted of the trainer's and tutor's she engaged with on an almost daily basis. Faux spent all of her time on the job, and had little time for Sierra. As Sierra grew older, she began to resent Faux for seeing her as a tool to be wielded rather than a person. The knowledge Sierra has about other people her age comes from visual media such as movies, contemporary novels, and the internet. All of which she loves to engage with in her free time. The CIA had trained Sierra to gather information in just about any setting, but they never taught her how to be a normal kid.
Sierra was thrilled to be placed on a special team within Subdivision 745A. A chance to finally work with people her age, to make real friends. Too bad the world might be ending...
Face Claim: Quan Lee
Name: Wilfred âWilâ Harrington
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Wilfred was raised to be a stoic and well-mannered member of the household, and that much still holds true to this day. He can be quite the stickler for details and thus often the victim of overwhelming cynicism. Heâs more than comfortable working in a group or in a social setting, although is known to form judgement on others rather quickly. Like any other person, he values the company of others and enjoys having friends around, but may not be the best at reciprocating compassion or expressing gratitude. However, his rigid work ethic is the personality trait most people would define him by, and rightfully so. He works best with a set of goals in mind and is unforgiving when it comes to his own shortcomings, as well as those of others.
Physical Skills/Weaknesses: His rigorous training as a member of the Navy has left him well-equipped when it comes to physical challenges. Heâs able to hold his own ground when it comes to unarmed combat, but uses most of his time to hone his skill in handling firearms. His fighting style is very by the book however, and a true expert would have no trouble predicting his precise movements.
Mental Skills/Weaknesses: Wilfredâs ability to develop a plan and execute it is perhaps his most valuable asset. His meticulous nature and attentiveness make him an effective tactician who values minimizing risk above all else. Such an attitude also causes him to worry over the smallest of particulars fairly often, creating something of a setback at times as well. Given that his mind can be in multiple places at once, itâs entirely possible to intentionally overwhelm his train of thought.
Hidden Desires: To be able to find stability somewhere in his life. The past few years have been unkind to him in terms of having to leave old friends and acquaintances behind, and have dampened his expectations of being able to form and maintain meaningful connections with people in general.
Hidden Fears: He fears never having the opportunity to fully reconcile with his family and friends, even after all is said and done. And although he has no problem drawing conclusions about other people, he is somewhat concerned with what others think about him and is uncomfortable when heavily scrutinized.
Bio: The bulk of Wilfredâs life was dictated by his father, the esteemed Gregory Harringtonâsuch was the consequence of his motherâs untimely passing not long after childbirth. Regardless, his father saw to it that the boy received the best care money could afford. Though the household was a small one, they were financially supported by Gregoryâs relatively successful law firm and lived a content life due to it. The two lived through some uneventful years where grueling work hours didnât allow for much quality time together, but what little time did they have certainly didnât go to waste. Things seemed to pick up in Wilfredâs teen years, when his father decided to remarry, thus introducing a new maternal figure and two step-siblings into his life. Though it took time to adjust, the new members all got along well enough. If anything, Wilfred was grateful for finally having others to interact regularly in the house. Friends and acquaintances always remarked how Wilfred was the spitting image of his father, not that the boy minded the statement in the slightest. For one reason or another, it was always assumed that he would join his father in the family business, again an idea that he wasnât outright opposed to. When it came time to apply to universities, he more or less settled into the role for lack of a better option. He was also a historically hard-working student in school and thus undeterred from the challenges of studying law. His father, of course, was both flattered and honored that his only biological child had a desire to take on the mantle. It was around this time that Gregory was considering leaving behind law and pursuing his political aspirations, an action that was emboldened by his sonâs studies.
Supportive at first, Wilfred saw no harm in his fatherâs digressions and instead encouraged whatever course of action would make him happy. Yet it soon became apparent that he severely underestimated the extra burden of being scrutinized as a potential politicianâs son. While he had been performing well in terms of schooling, the extra media attention and the pushed narrative of needing to take over his fatherâs business added to the pressure he felt. His social life also took quite the blow, where he struggled with coming to terms with his own identity. Peers pitied him for being nothing more than an enabler for his fatherâs success, and rumors of resentment in the family also gained traction in the media. The quiet and peaceful life he used to live had been turned on its own head, and upon his fatherâs election to local office, there were no signs of any return to normalcy. It was clear that Wilfred wouldnât be able to continue down the road he and many others had planned. After some time of contemplation, he ultimately decided to enter training for the SEALs. While he was quoted to enlist out of the goodness of his heart and loyalty for the country, it was merely his way of escaping the buzz and taking some time to figure himself out. His friends and family had been understanding enough during the transition, though he could detect the subtle disappointment and animosity in what they believed to be him âabandoningâ his life.
As expected, things were much more manageable in the military and Wilfred was able to put his skills into good use. Although he has remained in contact with his family, he would hardly call on a regular basis and even then beat around the bush when it came to the more serious matters. Eventually one thing led to another, and his time and accomplishments in the Navy would lead him to get referred to Subdivision 745A. He accepted the position, feeling that was where his talents would be best utilized, even if it meant uprooting his life once again.
Radicals
Name: Abasi "Basi" Saleh
FC: Mena Massoud
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Laid-back to the point of sheer laziness. Charming and sarcastic. Two-faced. A realist and intellectual. Level-headed 99% of the time but cruel when angered. Borderline sociopathic.
Physical Skills/Weaknesses: Uses sharp weapons, such as swords, spears, etc but prefers smaller ones like daggers. A master at the art of stealth. Pretty much useless with a gun and he's embarrassed about it.
Mental Skills/Weaknesses: Remembers virtually everything he reads. Has a soft spot for kids.
Hidden Desires: To not have to put on an extroverted front and be locked inside a library forever. And he's always wanted to commit a murder.
Hidden Fears: Interviews and interrogations. Physical restraintment.
Bio: The oldest of seven kids with a large age gap between him and the second, Basi became a father figure far before he was ready. His parents had him as teenagers then waited ten years before starting a large (planned) family. He sacrificed much of his adolescence to take care of his siblings and hasn't quite forgiven his parents for it, who were way in over their heads. School was always his escape from his chaotic home life, and he stayed at the top of his class. Probably his biggest regret was allowing his popularity to get into his head, and by junior year he had morphed into a full-fledged bully. His tormenting actually caused one student to transfer, which finally snapped him into the reality of what he had become. He's been working on himself ever since, and while he's warmer on the outside, there's still a lot of ice and cruelty still underneath. Basi went on to attend an Ivy League as a history major. During the essay portion of one of his exams, he wrote down an event nearly word-for-word from the textbook without realizing it. After the professor confirmed he did not cheat, he was astonished. Little did Basi know that the professor was a former CIA agent and immediately referred him. Basi dropped out before his junior year and has been training in the Subdivision ever since. While secretly relieved to be away from home, he does worry about his younger siblings being properly taken care of. He's confident his unit will stop the Endcoming and hasn't really let his mind stray to the possibility of failure.

Bio: Margot's parents emigrated to the United States two years before she was born where she would be raised in a French Catholic family. They were rarely affectionate and very intense individuals. She was homeschooled and as a result never had many friends growing up. Her most fond memories are of her riding her bike around the neighborhood with the children on her block. Her life changed at the age of eight when her little brother Maxime was born. Margot was so excited to have a best friend and someone to look after. At the age of three, Max was diagnosed with autism. While high functioning, raising him proved to be a challenge for their parents, making Margot that much more protective of him. By the time Margot was fourteen, they enrolled her and her brother in public school in hopes of Max getting more one-on-one help. Margot struggled at first but eventually developed better social skills. Around this time, Max began to put all his attention and energy into weapons, tanks, and other combative aspects of the military. Margot paid attention, visited a shooting range, and was hooked. She began to collect firearms and by the time she graduated high school she knew how to build a somewhat complex bomb as well. It wasn't until she enlisted she caught the eye of the CIA and was recruited for the Subdivision. More than anything, she wants to stop the Endcoming to save her brother and come home safe to fulfill her promise of sharing all her military experiences with him.
Kat Gray
Name: Kat Gray (Uses they/them pronouns)
Age: 21
Gender: Nonbinary
Sexuality: Asexual, panromantic
Personality: Kat is generally quiet, preferring to keep to themself, but they can open up when they feel comfortable. They seem standoffish at first, but theyâre usually the first to make somebody feel included if they feel left out, or give a thoughtful present (usually cookies) if theyâve been having a bad few days. Kat is always happy to make somebody else happy, even if itâs at their own expense. Theyâve been misgendered a lot in their time in the army and the CIA, but is usually quiet about it. Sometimes others will speak up for them, and that means more to them than anything.
Physical Skills/Weaknesses: Kat is 6â1â and crazy strong. Theyâre skilled in physical combat, but their strength makes them the packhorse no matter what group theyâre in. Theyâre somewhat skilled with guns (generally handguns), but much prefers to literally take situations into their own hands. They also have a very high pain tolerance, and have been known to push through missions even with a bad wound. Theyâre also a very talented cook and baker, even with limited ingredients. Kat hates explosions and fire, and prefers to be far away when those two things happen, but that isn't always an option. If explosions do happen they'll likely freeze up and be distracted.
Mental Skills/Weaknesses: Being a CIA agent will give anyone a healthy dose of paranoia, and Kat is always on the lookout. Theyâre relatively attuned to otherâs emotions, but only when theyâre choosing to pay attention - otherwise theyâre usually daydreaming and stuck in their own world, and is focused more on when theyâre going to eat (or cook food for everyone) next. Kat is usually a go with the flow type of person, and isnât quick to anger or act recklessly, which is one of their biggest assets under pressure. It's easy to catch Kat unaware though, since they're not paying attention all the time. They're not the best negotiator, either, because of their more quiet nature.
Hidden Desires: In an alternate reality, Kat would own a bakery and live in a tiny basement apartment in the same city as their family. They just want their family to be happy, and to make sure that theyâre okay without them.
Hidden Fears: Explosions and fire scare them. They donât necessarily get flashbacks when theyâre reminded of the bombing when they were in the army, but itâs always at the back of their memory. Theyâre also worried about burdening their family. They donât know how theyâre doing, and theyâre worried that theyâre not doing well without Katâs extra income. In a way, Kat ran away from their childhood home, but thereâs not much they can do about that now.
Bio: Like Nathan, Kat never really envisioned themself as an agent of the CIA. Kat grew up as an adopted child in a family of three other adopted children. They had a relatively happy suburban childhood, being an average kid in an average school. Their parents struggled with finances, but it was never much of an issue since Kat, being the oldest, could work a part-time job and bring in some extra money for the family. Kat never really had a lot of friends because they tend to be so quiet, but the few friends that they did make stuck close - whether it was for the food they made from pantry leftovers or their personality, theyâre still not sure. Kat knew they wouldnât have enough money for college, and they didnât want to strain their familyâs finances even more, so they enlisted in the army at 18, hoping to avoid combat, but they werenât so lucky. They had hoped, on some crazy whim, just to be a cook, but with their height and potential physical skills, they were sent to basic training just like everyone else. On one of their first big assignments as a private in the army, the location of their base was found and subsequently bombed. Kat was sleeping at the time, and woke up to fire and the smell of burning hair and flesh. They havenât really gotten over that incident, and tried to quit the army after this happened, but was scooped up by the CIA instead. Kat isnât sure if theyâre really happy in Subdivision 745A, but anything is better than being another mouth to feed at home.

CIA agent, Diane Faux, plucked Sierra out of the foster system and assumed guardianship. Sierra was thrilled to finally find a permanent home, and with somebody who might actually care about her. But, Agent Faux had other plans. Sierra's talent for reading lips put her into a rigorous training program for gathering intelligence. Being young, and deaf to boot, made Sierra a great tool for espionage. Over the years Sierra was taught five total languages (Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, French, and German) in order to make her as effective in the field as possible. Due to her relationship with the CIA, Sierra was kept isolated from other people her age for most of her life. Sierra lived in comfort, with Faux's paycheck providing her with just about anything she could want or need. But, Faux's money couldn't fill the loneliness she felt weighing her down most of the time. Her friends all consisted of the trainer's and tutor's she engaged with on an almost daily basis. Faux spent all of her time on the job, and had little time for Sierra. As Sierra grew older, she began to resent Faux for seeing her as a tool to be wielded rather than a person. The knowledge Sierra has about other people her age comes from visual media such as movies, contemporary novels, and the internet. All of which she loves to engage with in her free time. The CIA had trained Sierra to gather information in just about any setting, but they never taught her how to be a normal kid.
Sierra was thrilled to be placed on a special team within Subdivision 745A. A chance to finally work with people her age, to make real friends. Too bad the world might be ending...
Face Claim: Quan Lee
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Wilfred was raised to be a stoic and well-mannered member of the household, and that much still holds true to this day. He can be quite the stickler for details and thus often the victim of overwhelming cynicism. Heâs more than comfortable working in a group or in a social setting, although is known to form judgement on others rather quickly. Like any other person, he values the company of others and enjoys having friends around, but may not be the best at reciprocating compassion or expressing gratitude. However, his rigid work ethic is the personality trait most people would define him by, and rightfully so. He works best with a set of goals in mind and is unforgiving when it comes to his own shortcomings, as well as those of others.
Physical Skills/Weaknesses: His rigorous training as a member of the Navy has left him well-equipped when it comes to physical challenges. Heâs able to hold his own ground when it comes to unarmed combat, but uses most of his time to hone his skill in handling firearms. His fighting style is very by the book however, and a true expert would have no trouble predicting his precise movements.
Mental Skills/Weaknesses: Wilfredâs ability to develop a plan and execute it is perhaps his most valuable asset. His meticulous nature and attentiveness make him an effective tactician who values minimizing risk above all else. Such an attitude also causes him to worry over the smallest of particulars fairly often, creating something of a setback at times as well. Given that his mind can be in multiple places at once, itâs entirely possible to intentionally overwhelm his train of thought.
Hidden Desires: To be able to find stability somewhere in his life. The past few years have been unkind to him in terms of having to leave old friends and acquaintances behind, and have dampened his expectations of being able to form and maintain meaningful connections with people in general.
Hidden Fears: He fears never having the opportunity to fully reconcile with his family and friends, even after all is said and done. And although he has no problem drawing conclusions about other people, he is somewhat concerned with what others think about him and is uncomfortable when heavily scrutinized.
Bio: The bulk of Wilfredâs life was dictated by his father, the esteemed Gregory Harringtonâsuch was the consequence of his motherâs untimely passing not long after childbirth. Regardless, his father saw to it that the boy received the best care money could afford. Though the household was a small one, they were financially supported by Gregoryâs relatively successful law firm and lived a content life due to it. The two lived through some uneventful years where grueling work hours didnât allow for much quality time together, but what little time did they have certainly didnât go to waste. Things seemed to pick up in Wilfredâs teen years, when his father decided to remarry, thus introducing a new maternal figure and two step-siblings into his life. Though it took time to adjust, the new members all got along well enough. If anything, Wilfred was grateful for finally having others to interact regularly in the house. Friends and acquaintances always remarked how Wilfred was the spitting image of his father, not that the boy minded the statement in the slightest. For one reason or another, it was always assumed that he would join his father in the family business, again an idea that he wasnât outright opposed to. When it came time to apply to universities, he more or less settled into the role for lack of a better option. He was also a historically hard-working student in school and thus undeterred from the challenges of studying law. His father, of course, was both flattered and honored that his only biological child had a desire to take on the mantle. It was around this time that Gregory was considering leaving behind law and pursuing his political aspirations, an action that was emboldened by his sonâs studies.
Supportive at first, Wilfred saw no harm in his fatherâs digressions and instead encouraged whatever course of action would make him happy. Yet it soon became apparent that he severely underestimated the extra burden of being scrutinized as a potential politicianâs son. While he had been performing well in terms of schooling, the extra media attention and the pushed narrative of needing to take over his fatherâs business added to the pressure he felt. His social life also took quite the blow, where he struggled with coming to terms with his own identity. Peers pitied him for being nothing more than an enabler for his fatherâs success, and rumors of resentment in the family also gained traction in the media. The quiet and peaceful life he used to live had been turned on its own head, and upon his fatherâs election to local office, there were no signs of any return to normalcy. It was clear that Wilfred wouldnât be able to continue down the road he and many others had planned. After some time of contemplation, he ultimately decided to enter training for the SEALs. While he was quoted to enlist out of the goodness of his heart and loyalty for the country, it was merely his way of escaping the buzz and taking some time to figure himself out. His friends and family had been understanding enough during the transition, though he could detect the subtle disappointment and animosity in what they believed to be him âabandoningâ his life.
As expected, things were much more manageable in the military and Wilfred was able to put his skills into good use. Although he has remained in contact with his family, he would hardly call on a regular basis and even then beat around the bush when it came to the more serious matters. Eventually one thing led to another, and his time and accomplishments in the Navy would lead him to get referred to Subdivision 745A. He accepted the position, feeling that was where his talents would be best utilized, even if it meant uprooting his life once again.

Aurora Phillips
Name: Aurora Jane Donahue-Phillips
Nicknames: AJ, Rory, JD, DP, Phillips
Face Claim: Freema Agyeman
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Rory is a very observant person. She tends to get close to people and in the process is able to learn a lot of characteristics of her friends, there are no ill intentions, but it can be beneficial. She cares about her friends and allies, sometimes defaulting to a maternal instinct and becoming very protective of them and lethal to her opponents. She is headstrong, ambitious and willing to get a job done if that means protecting those she cares about, but sometimes it can be a little reckless.
Physical Skills/Weaknesses: She was involved with kickboxing since she was a child, making her specialized in a lot of brutal combat. Aurora also spent time doing gymnastics in her childhood, so she is very flexible. She doesn't like weapons that make noise so she uses a lot of bladed instruments. Because she doesn't carry firearms she is kind of useless in long distance combat. She is also not the greatest swimmer, she can tread water and make minimal movements, but other than that she's helpless in water.
Mental Skills/Weaknesses: Aurora has a master's in psychology and uses some of her knowledge to get close to people and use some behaviors against others. She is able to be very closed off to her peers. A flaw Aurora has is that once she trusts you, she seems to overlook your flaws and that causes for her to be hurt a lot by others.
Hidden Desires: Aurora's biggest desire is to have her family reconnected. Her and her husband, Jackson, are separated and he took their two year old son, Andreas, with him. She wants to to have the apple pie life, building on her relationship with her husband and possibly grow their family.
Hidden Fears: Suffocation. When Aurora was younger she almost drowned, and occasionally that feeling of losing air. She freaks out when things are around her neck and when she is suddenly deprived of oxygen. She avoids all water based features. Her son being taken away from her forever
Bio: Aurora Phillips was born Aurora Jane Donahue to Army soldier Peter Donahue and lawyer Ava Richmond. She had a very normal childhood at first, growing up in a very suburban neighborhood with her parents and two older brothers. Everything changed when her father died overseas and it sent her mother into a long depressive mood. Her brothers adopted the position of raising their younger sister, but eventually they had to leave for their own lives. Aurora does not blame them however and she learns to take care of herself while they are gone. Unfortunately, Ava's depression defeats her and she tries to kill herself and her daughter by driving her car into a lake. Aurora survives, but her mother doesn't. She is put into the care of her eldest brother until she goes off to live on her own.
She attends college, pursuing a degree in Psychology. This is also where he nickname Rory is born. She does well in school and becomes very popular amongst her peers, attending parties and participating in a lot of school events. She continues gymnastic and kickboxing in order to calm herself and forget her past when it comes creeping. It is at a kickboxing ring where 19 year old Rory meets 20 year old Jackson Phillips. The instantly hit it off and in a year they are married. The help each other be better version of themselves as Jackson starts his own company dealing with security and Aurora works on finishing her degree. At 21, she gets pregnant. 9 months later their son Andreas is born, Aurora has her degree, but Jackson is struggling to get his company settled. They are soon drowning in bills of rent, utilities, food, Jackson's business, Aurora's student loans, and having a child. This causes a strain in their marriage and when Aurora tries to find the easiest way to help them out and without consulting with her husband she accepts the position of psychology consultant in a government project. This is the last straw for Jack and he tells her that if she takes the position, that it blurs their future.
Rory of course takes the position as it is the only way to pay off her family's debt. While she is away at training, her husband sends her legal separation papers. She signs them, hesitantly of course. Aurora always had a wish to be a better mother to her son than her mother was to her and although her decisions put her at a setback, she knows that it was the right thing to do. She keeps a family picture with her at all times and whenever she has the chance, sends letters back home. Aurora keeps her married name, but presents herself as single since her husband has resumed dating others. Aurora does everything for the safety of her son.

Bio: The oldest of seven kids with a large age gap between him and the second, Basi became a father figure far before he was ready. His parents had him as teenagers then waited ten years before starting a large (planned) family. He sacrificed much of his adolescence to take care of his siblings and hasn't quite forgiven his parents for it, who were way in over their heads. School was always his escape from his chaotic home life, and he stayed at the top of his class. Probably his biggest regret was allowing his popularity to get into his head, and by junior year he had morphed into a full-fledged bully. His tormenting actually caused one student to transfer, which finally snapped him into the reality of what he had become. He's been working on himself ever since, and while he's warmer on the outside, there's still a lot of ice and cruelty still underneath. Basi went on to attend an Ivy League as a history major. During the essay portion of one of his exams, he wrote down an event nearly word-for-word from the textbook without realizing it. After the professor confirmed he did not cheat, he was astonished. Little did Basi know that the professor was a former CIA agent and immediately referred him. Basi dropped out before his junior year and has been training in the Subdivision ever since. While secretly relieved to be away from home, he does worry about his younger siblings being properly taken care of. He's confident his unit will stop the Endcoming and hasn't really let his mind stray to the possibility of failure.
(Face Claim: Camila Senna)
Name:
Eudora Wynne Gatika
Age:
25
Gender:
Female
Sexuality:
Straight
Personality:
Observant, determined, only speaks up if she feels what she has to say is beneficial (she makes sure her words carry weight), honor driven, stoic, hardened
Physical Skills/Weaknesses:
Eudora is agile and quiet, priding herself on her feline-like movements. She is highly skilled at archery and long ranged weapons, her sniping abilities are unrivaled. While quick on her feet Eudora isn't the strongest. She does her best to avoid close range and melee combat, she may be able to duck and weave herself out of a situation but fighting her way out would be a struggle.
Mental Skills/Weaknesses:
Her observant nature gives Eudora a unique edge when reading a situation or even people themselves. Usually outwitting her opponent by being twelve steps ahead if not rattling them with her ability to get inside their head. She's been accused of being telepathic on more than one occasion, but that's hardly the case. Observation is key. Despite her ability to read other people, it's not the most difficult feat to read Eudora herself. While she's built walls around the memory of her former life, if anyone were to pick at that bit of information Eudora would be relatively easily crippled by sticking a hot knife into those memories.
Hidden Desires:
To have a family of her own. Eudora found out she was unable to have children not long before she became an agent. If you asked anyone else, though, nobody would assume her to desire a family much less children. She seemingly has little maternal instinct. Eudora also dreams of being a musician, a singer. If you ever caught her singing in the shower, you'd know she could achieve it, if it wasn't for the crippling fear of....
Hidden Fears:
...crowds. Well, not the crowd itself exactly, it all stems from an underlying fear of being trampled. So being in a room performing in front of people poses a very real threat (in her mind) of that possibility. In addition to the fear of being trampled, being buried alive is also high on the list. But, the deepest fear Eudora carries the burden of is her fear of loss. This fear is a staple for who she is.
Bio:
Eudora loves her life, it's as if she was made for it, at least that's exactly what you would think if you met her. Agent #476...Gatika, Eudora (Also known as... E) beautiful and slightly terrifying. She wasn't always this way though. Having been raised in the crisp mountains of Clifton, Maine she was accustomed to hunting and enduring frigid temperatures, but by no stretch of the imagination did she have a hard childhood. Her father was a carpenter, callused and wise, with deep amber eyes that grew lighter when he smiled. Richard Gatika taught Eudora to be fearless and kind. Her mother was a primary school teacher, soft spoken and bright, with long hair like a waterfall of fire that swirled around her when she danced barefooted with her husband around their living room. Aren Gatika loved her family and cherished her daughter, Eudora was an only child. She never minded though, she always had all the affection and attention she could ever desire, all the life lessons learned, both by knowledge passed down and by mistakes forgiven. She was a perfect combination of her parents, her father's eyes and wisdom, her mother's hair and cheery disposition. School was always easy for Eudora, she wasn't top of her class by any means but she loved her time with friends and more importantly, loved learning. The more she knew the more she felt she could accomplish, and she was always determined to accomplish something although she wasn't sure what exactly it was she wanted to achieve.
During her first year of college, after deciding to spread her wings and continue her education in Colorado (unable to escape the call of the mountains), Eudora was packing up her things for winter break when the call came in. Her mother, almost unintelligibly, calling to tell her that her father had passed. It was sudden, a heart attack. Eudora was heartbroken but knew her father wouldn't want her to give up her future for anything, especially sadness. "Turn your emotions into ammunition, Eudora," he would've told her. So she did just that, she finished her first year of college on the Dean's list, determined to make her father proud when he watched her in the wind. It was in that first year Eudora met her first real love. The man who promised he was going to marry her one day and she couldn't have been happier with her life, knowing Richard would've given his blessing to this man. Julien was his name, Julien Nare. Strong as an ox, but hands that were soft enough to melt Eudora. He came home with her that summer after her freshman year. Her mother loved Julien just as much as she did, maybe more.
It was their last dinner together for the summer, Julien and Eudora were headed back to Colorado bright and early the next morning, so they went out. The only steakhouse in Clinton would be forever their "spot" as it was her father's favorite. Eudora ordered one more glass of wine while they reveled in conversation, and she savored her last few hours home with her mother. Julien took that moment to pull out a ring. He looked so nervous as he got down on one knee and popped the question. Her life was falling into place, she would get married the following spring they decided. Aren also rejoiced in the news, despite the fact she thought Eudora was a little young. Eudora's mother knew she was a smart girl and as always would be determined enough to make this life work just how she wanted it to.
The rain was falling hard as they left the restaurant and they scrambled into the car. Eudora's slender face was almost in pain from the smile plastered firmly on her face. Aren began the drive home, Eudora in the passenger seat sneaking smiles back to Julien, sat behind Aren. As the car climbed the mountain in the rain back to her childhood home, everything changed. Even in her deepest memory Eudora cant think of when she first saw the deer jump out in front of them. It was a whirlwind of lights, glass, and blood. The car spun on the slick road and the next thing Eudora knew she was waking up in the hospital. She was told that Julien died before the emergency team got to the scene, her mother was conscious and able to sit, holding Eudora's hand in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, until the bleeding in her brain, that went unnoticed by EMS, killed her. She took her last breath crumpled on Eudora's chest. All Eudora has from that day is a scar, reaching from her left shoulder blade to her right hip. Although a life threatening wound, she considers herself unscathed physically from the accident, mentally....she was broken.
Two weeks after the accident Eudora returned to her cabin in the mountains. Broken and alone, unsure of what she was to do, where to go. Her energy for school, for people was eradicated.
The winds smiled upon her once more, and only once more, a few days later, with a positive pregnancy test. She prayed to any and every god that she could hold on to this one piece of Julien. That this baby would have his smile or his just barely crooked nose. But as winds do, they changed direction. A miscarriage, her last piece, her only piece to hold onto. The doctors told Eudora then that her pregnancy was a miracle to have occurred. The chances of her bearing children were as less likely than winning the lottery thrice.
After taking a year to herself Eudora enlisted into the Marines at 20 years old, she no longer had direction, she no longer felt purpose. The corp gave that to her, it forced her into some semblance of normalcy. CIA special forces picked her up before her first deployment. She took her father's advice. She turned her pain into ammunition. She was the best marksman they had seen in decades. Eudora put away her former life, never to forget never to let them down.
She began training with Special Forces immediately, as the commander took marks he addressed her...."I prefer E or 476, your choice, SIR," her tone must have been assertive enough, because she hasn't heard the name Eudora in five years now. To her Eudora Gatika was gone, she was now Agent #476 and nothing could touch her.

She began training with Special Forces immediately, as the commander took marks he addressed her...."I prefer E or 476, your choice, SIR," her tone must have been assertive enough, because she hasn't heard the name Eudora in five years now. To her Eudora Gatika was gone, she was now Agent #476 and nothing could touch her.
Nathan Hughes
Name: Nathan Hughes
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Nathan is really hard to pin down. He lies easily, almost compulsively, to avoid talking about himself or his past. He much prefers to blend into the background, but if the situation calls for it he can be a good distraction. In most situations Nathan is relatively talkative, quick to make jokes or observations. Heâs a copycat by nature, and blends in by fitting in with the mannerisms and turns of phrase that he finds himself in company with, but there are some things, like his extraordinarily expensive taste in alcohol, that are hard to shake from his upbringing.
Physical Skills/Weaknesses: Nathan isnât the strongest in terms of brute force, but heâs quick on his feet and is pretty good at thinking his way out of a fight if an escape is needed. He really doesnât like guns, so heâs pretty out of practice with them, but he will use them if necessary. Because of this he usually avoids confrontation in favor of finding some different angle to solve a problem, but he's not the best at combat, and usually finds a place to hide (and shoot occasional bullets from if a target comes near) once a firefight breaks out.
Mental Skills/Weaknesses: Simply put, Nathan is a government-authorized con man. Heâs keenly observant and quick to act. He can talk his way into or out of any situation, and convince a lot of people of things they would otherwise dismiss. He has a working knowledge of security systems, as his typical jobs for the CIA usually involve breaking in or out of somewhere. His upper-class background also gives him an extraneous knowledge base of art history, classical music, and opera, though he much prefers different kinds of music. The art he doesnât mind. Nathan has a really hard time telling the truth, even if it won't immediately hurt him, but he hasn't been able to forge deeper personal bonds because nobody's sure where the lies end.
Hidden Desires: Nathan would like to deck his father in the face, but considering most of his prison visits were behind reinforced glass, that isnât possible yet. Heâs not really sure what life holds for him right now, but he just wants to balance out some of the bad things that his father did.
Hidden Fears: Many times Nathan is unthinkingly selfish, and he has to consciously work towards being more altruistic. Heâs gotten better at it in recent years, but heâs worried that one day heâll just not notice that somebody cares about him, or unthinkingly abandon a friend in need. Heâs also afraid of guns, which isnât necessarily the best trait to have in the CIA, but heâs good at hiding it. Heâs afraid, too, that his past will catch up with him, and his current acquaintances will suffer for it - his father ripped a lot of people off and made a lot of enemies.
Bio: Nathan never really envisioned being a CIA agent - he was more accustomed to the lavish lifestyle that his fatherâs money gave him as the CEO of Cooke Development Partners, a national real estate development group that made it big assisting in gentrifying poor neighborhoods. Nathan thought the company generally stayed above board, but he only realized the extent of the corruption when his father was arrested for omitting the fact that most of his buildings had been sold on false pretenses. As Nathan was finding this out, he was also applying to colleges. He set his sights on the top Ivy League universities in the US, assuming that his fatherâs connections and ability to grease any necessary palms would secure his acceptance to the school of his choosing. As his father had been swiftly tried and convicted, sentenced to twelve years in prison, Nathan found himself in a tough spot, relying on only his merits and the hope that the admissions counselors wouldnât connect his last name with his fatherâs. Nathan was rejected from every single college he applied to because he wasnât qualified after spending four years partying and sleeping during class. Since then, Nathan has distanced himself from his family, and he earned a Bachelorâs degree in criminology after changing his last name to Hughes and taking a gap year to get some of his grades up. He was recruited to the CIA fresh out of college on the promise that he would assist the more senior agents in keeping their covers during missions involving extremely wealthy international criminals. Nathan didnât testify at his fatherâs trial, so nobody really knew his face, but he was knowledgeable enough to be able to blend in with the elites and give pointers on the best methods of blending in. He was transferred to this task force after his cover was blown at a party on a yacht in Europe, where he bumped into one of his fatherâs clients. He barely made it out, and it was agreed that he just needed to take some time off before he could return to his normal duties, so heâs been on loan to Subdivision 745A for a little while now. Itâs unclear when, or if, he could return to his normal unit, so heâs decided to make the best of the situation.
