Controlled By: Michure
Name: Cossette Lucinda Babineaux
Age: Twenty-Seven
A Bit About Me: Cossette was born in New York City, New York to the famous Roxanne Smith, a famous American super-model, and Jean-Claude Babineaux, a businessman of one of the most prestigious agencies in Paris. Although they had a child, this hardly stopped their busy careers. Cossette spent most of her childhood in her Penthouse in Manhattan alone with her Au Pair and maid. She learned French and Spanish from the duo, only learning English after discovering the laundry shaft was a great elevator for little girls.

She became quite a pain for her guardians. She continuously disappeared, talked to the neighbors, ran off to Central Park and other parts of New York. Cossette's Au Pair once stated that the girl was a little "Lolita," and that "her beauty would be mistaken for promiscuity," if she continued to act like a little brat. This hardly deterred the child. In order to stop this sudden bout of insanity, however, her Au Pair decided it best to convince her parents to leave New York.

Cossette would continue to live in New York City and would be tutored by her Au Pair. One day, her parents found her wandering around China-town with a boy who lived in the same building, flirting and batting her eyes. They didn't even realize this was their daughter until she spotted her parents and ran up to the limo they so happened to be in. This was when the Babineaux family realized it was time to do something about their daughter.

She was ten when they moved, but not for any reason that involved Cossette. Jean-Claude decided it was time to return to Paris after a promotion, making him busier than ever. The moment they went to Paris, Cossette found herself once again running off to Paris, doing exactly what she was doing in New York. Her Au Pair, finally fed up with the child, quit. This was the first time her family actually had to send her away for schooling, and decided to send her off to an all-female boarding school.

Cossette continued to act as she did in New York. And because she didn't have her parents so readily nearby, her sheer nonconformist attitudes only strengthened. She dyed her hair numerous colors, she wore platform shoes, she shortened her shirt and always kept an extra button undone on her shirt, wore too much makeup, had piercings on her body and even a small tattoo in a secret place. She would kiss her classmates, flirt with her professors, invite boys from off-campus to her room and party whenever she could.

As a child, however, she always valued education. She was always reading and writing, spending her time with others and involving herself in education. She was the epitome of the best and worst student on campus. Her academics never faltered, yet she continuously broke rules regarding her sexuality.

After graduating from her school, Cossette decided to vacation for a year. Although it was year of partying, she always felt uneasy about this period in her life. She never felt quite the same after that, as though those memories didn't belong in her mind. Yet she didn't allow that to deter her as she pursued a new career in the Red-Light District in Amsterdam.

Cossette started off as a porn-star and prostitute, climbing the social latter rather quickly. By her mid-twenties, she was a famous porn-star and business-woman, with her name on numerous products.

Cossette was nearing her twenty-sixth birthday when she decided to go to Cambodia on vacation. Ever since her extended vacation as a teenager, Cossette never felt comfortable traveling, but pushed herself to go nonetheless. On her vacation, Cossette decided to wander the streets one night, only to bump into Caleb. He was attempting to sell his body to the woman. Surprised that he spoke English, she decided to buy him for the night, so she could have some time to just talk to him.

His name was Caleb. A boy from Chicago, Caleb was sold into the sex-trafficking industry when he was seven and managed to be sold to a brothel in Cambodia. It was common knowledge that white children were generally the most popular sex objects, and he became a commodity. Due to poor conditions in the brothel, he became very sick.

Over the years, Caleb has discovered that he is in fact homosexual. But most of his customers were indeed male and he was generally treated very poorly. This has caused him to fear most males and look toward women for comfort. He wishes to escape this world but fears returning to the normal world, unsure how to tread among the normal.

Cossette was amazed by his story.The rest of her vacation was spent on having this boy; she bought his freedom and made him her legal son. This hit the tabloids, making her even more famous across international borders. Her popularity only grew.

The two moved to the Penthouse in New York where she lived in as a child, working on expanding Cossette's empire. Many people are against Cossette and her line of work, but she continues to pursuit her goals.
I Look Like: Cossette is known for her pornographic looks, even without makeup. She was referred to as a Lolita for a reason. Her eyes are sharp and a seducing shade of green, her eyebrows thin and intense, her cheekbones high and her skin perfectly flawless. She is a bit on the voluptuous size, but ever since her early twenties, she hardly has to work to keep her small stomach and tight legs.

Her hair is a lovely shade of auburn-brown. Her hair curls in large ringlets, ending right below her breast. Her large hair is a signature in her pornography as well as her ever-present corset. Cossette's mid-section is heavily cinched due to years of using a corset. Her skin is fair and milky. She has a vast wardrobe and it is always changing.

In many ways, Caleb acts as an accessory to the woman in her public appearances. The boy is lanky, anemic, and pale, despite a slightly natural tan. His light-brown hair reaches his chin, brown freckles speckle his nose and his jaw is strong and lips luscious. Due to his Aniridia, his eyes are a solid shade of Cobalt Blue. He is always seen in black-slacks, an unbutton white shirt, a collar that is usually attached to a leash Cossette is holding, Red Doc Martens and large, purple Aviators.
Currently, I: Cossette is in her Penthouse Apartment with Caleb. She is looking into going to Nevada to open a sex-shop.
Anything Else?: 1) Cossette is unable to Speak Spanish anymore, but is fluent in both French and English.
2) Cossette has had three surgeries in her life. Two was for her back. The third operation was surgical hair removal, which was necessary for her line of work. The operations on her back were due to a combination of weakening bones and a heavy-set chest. After her extended vacation, however, the pain in her back and any back issues have ceased to exist.
3) Cossette still cinches her body, which crushes her mid-section and makes her body unable to hold up her heavy chest.
4) Caleb is her legal son. Although the public believes him to be her sex-slave, Cossette has never actually touched the boy in that regard. This is common knowledge among lawyers.
Biotic Powers: Knifehands

Whoo! Thanks. Okay, editing powers... and adding some reason as to why I'm becoming an EVE, right? Here goes! Some of the changes in her powers are subtle becuase I can't think of how to add handicaps to certain aspects without making them contradict those in other areas. Any suggestions are welcome ^_^;;

Character Name: Hiyasmin Navarro
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Race: Filipino-American
Physical Description: Hiyasmin stands an 5'0''. She is very active, so she keeps her hair short- about chin length- and usually clips it back out of her face. She is lean and well toned from years of karate. She has a heart-shaped face and creases in the corners of her eyes from smiling so often. Her most distinguishing features, however, are her unusually manly hands and feet, which she inherited from her American father.
She isn't very feminine and avoids dresses and skirts. She usually wears tank tops with sweat pants or basketball shorts. She is a tomboy, and chooses not to wear makeup- it's too mainstream and superficial for her taste. Her sigil powers rely on physical contact via her hands, so just to be on the safe side she dons a pair of gloves (workout or leather depending on the weather and occasion) in public.
Personality: She is generally boisterous and good-natured, but pugnacious as well. When she is offended or feels threatened she attempts to laugh it off, but when this doesn't work she quickly turns sour and uses her fighting skills to get her way. She is very proud of those skills, and likes to silently boast her strength by wearing clothing that reveals her muscled arms and legs.
Biography: Hiyasmin was raised in the pine forests of Maine somewhere outside of Berwick. She was a daddy's girl, and grew up roughhousing with her three older brothers. She spent most of her time fighting with her brothers, fishing and hunting with her woodsman of a father, and playing outside, climbing trees. She began attending karate classes when she was eleven years old.
At school she instantly surrounded herself with boys, whom she found better company than girls. She felt awkward making friends with girls because she found them to be dull, fickle and all around less fun to be with. She both blames and thanks her father for this. Her freshman year in high school she picked up soccer, which she stuck with until graduation. She never quit karate and rose to black belt level. She decided to put her combat and shooting skills to good use, and went to get a degree in Criminal Justice.
She is currently out of college and aspires to be an FBI agent, but for now she just wants to enjoy a year off to travel. Unfortunately, she cannot throughly enjoy herself. Her powers concern her, and after hearing rumors of underground groups of people like herself with similar ideals and those that oppose them she is considering using her powers for the greater good just as she would have used weapons to do so in the FBI.
Skills: Specializes in hand-to-hand combat and long-distance running.
Weapons: Thanks to her father she is an excellent shot with a rifle, but she prefers using her hands and feet.
Sigil Abilities: Water Based: Hiyasmin can both dehydrate and drown an object (or person) simply by touching them, but only to a small extent. She can usually control it, but when things get heated she tends to slip.
*When absorbing water she releases it through her pours. She would drown herself otherwise.
*When expelling water she must rely on the water inside her body. She has to be extremely careful, as this is the dehydration process in reverse, and is potentially as dangerous for her as it is for her opponent.
*She has another ability with which she can move small amounts of water through the air, and control its path and force with which it moves. The speed of the water’s movement is relevant to that of her own, meaning the limit if the water’s power is the same as her own strength. This ability is really only useful as a distraction.
Other:

Alright, I think you're both good. Hiyasmin will probably be able to drown the average person, but won't have such luck with Hosts or EVES or anything worse. I have an intro planned for both of you, but it's not quite time for it yet, so just keep watching!

Character Name: Nikolai Dukhanov
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Race: Russian
Physical Description: He stands at 5’11”, and weighs in around 150lbs. His body has a very lean, muscular build, with a pale skin tone. ‘Unruly’ would be a sufficient description of his short black hair, giving Nikolai a sort of bed-head look most of the time. However he often wears a black beanie, more out of laziness to fix his hair over style. Nikolai has grey irises, which seemed to be eternally locked in a light glare despite the mood he may be in. On his back, he has a large colored tattoo of a grey wolf’s head, with the animal bearing its fangs.

After being exposed to a Sigil, his body underwent extreme changes. Unfortunately, not all of them were good. Although his eyesight continued to get better, they became highly sensitive to light. For this reason, he now wears orange tinted goggles during the day. Also, he often wears a special gasmask that filters the toxic air he exhales, due to his inability to fully control his newfound Sigil abilities.
Personality: Nikolai is a firm believer in the philosophy that ‘there is a time for work, and a time for play.’ Having been a competitive boxer, he is incredibly disciplined when it comes to any sort of business. During his free time though, all he seems to want to do is loaf around, or read. Random shenanigans aren’t his thing, so don’t try to bother cracking a joke with him because chances are he won’t laugh. He does have a dark, morbid sense of humor, but most of the time its best not to invoke that side in him. It’s also worthy to note that he acts and moves like a sickly person when idle, but is still able to run, jump, fight, etcetera. Once he’s engaged an enemy, he will pursue his target doggedly, with little remorse for his opponents.
Biography: Nikolai was originally born in Russia, and lived there up until he was 20. His father was a professional boxer, and as a child, Nikolai would practically beg his dad to take him to any matches so he could watch. He admired the sport and his father, so it was no surprise to his parents when he decided to become a boxer himself. Most of his free time growing up was then spent rigorously training. He was one of the better boxers on his high school team, and because of his prowess, he had been scouted for an American university by a foreigner traveling abroad. Knowing that Americans also loved the sport, he agreed to leave his homeland, and live in the USA for a bit. On his twenty-first birthday, he and several friends went to a string of parties that night to help celebrate. After that night, his life changed for better or for worse.
Skills: Nikolai is a superb boxer for his age, though not even close to going professional. Physically, he’s able to withstand a tremendous amount of punishment, but as far as tactics are concerned, he’s not very creative; getting hit in the head too much will do that to a person.
Weapons: A pair of modified fighting gloves. Instead of padding, small steel plates have been attached to protect the top of his hands, and the bones (excluding the knuckles) of his fingers. Other then that, he has a straight walking cane that’s made of iron.
Sigil Abilities: Sickness: It should be stated first and foremost that he has no interest in the ‘healing’ abilities of his Sigil’s power. He has done some experimenting on himself to help his body grow immune to its effects, and now the air he breathes out is mildly toxic. It probably wouldn’t be a good idea to let his blood linger on your skin, too…

+His blood is tainted from having experimented on himself. It’s also ill-advised to touch his bare skin, as his body’s new toxins can seep through his skin’s pores if he perspires.
+Poison Breath: This is something that he cannot control, and happens naturally as he breathes. The gas he exhales has no color, but does have a bitter smell. It can cause nausea if inhaled, and weakens the infected person’s body. Prolonged exposure is not recommended.

He has been told that he could possibly affect the biotic virus within The Hosts, and has tested several theories.

+He can temporarily excite or stunt the biotic virus, enhancing a Host further, or causing a decline in their abilities, respectively.
+By exciting the virus in a Host, it helps to aggravate the Host’s urge to feed on another living being. This effect is reversed of course if he chooses to stunt the virus instead.
Other: +Earned the nickname ‘Russian Wolf’ from his fierce boxing abilities, and the tattoo on his back.
+Has yet to fully master his Sigil’s abilities, and as a side effect, he himself suffers from its ailments, but it doesn’t seem to hamper his ability to fight.
+Will respond to “Nick,” as he’s tired of people butchering his name.



And now we play the waiting game... ninja

You're probably right. I've forgotten to keep the abilities section very basic, that's true. I shall await Bayer's critique before working on Nikolai's profile again. Thanks for the reminder, Native. Though I'm not sure what 'Josh-like' means, so if that's something that should be improved upon, I'd like to know.

I'll look... uh, later.

Character Name: Allun Sol
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Race: Caucasian
Physical Description: Allun is 6'1” and 159 lbs. He is slightly thin with little muscle and peach skin. He has a round face with a dark blue eyes, light brown hair, and small ears. On his face sits a pair of silver colored titanium rectangle glasses. He is currently wearing black pants, black sneakers with white socks, a dark blue long sleeve shirt, and a white jacket.
Personality: Allun is a realist. He has no illusion of grandeur, no heroic urges, the only reason he is with the Adam team is because they could help him learn how to control his powers. His personal philosophy is, “There will always be what someone calls evil and another calls good. You just need to learn not to get to deep in one side or another.” He is also a hard worker and money conscious.
Biography: Allun lived a normal life with his farther. His mother ran off when he was less then three years old and his father was looking into bankruptcy. Though able to avoid it, His father has always been strict with anything involving money, a trait Allun has pick up in a lesser degree. He worked hard and was able to give Allun a normal life with the average problems. Allun had his first job at the age of 16 and saved up for collage. He attended a local public collage where he got a bachelor in Computer Science and was going to start working for a small time IT company...
Skills: Computer troubleshooting and repair, Money management.
Weapons: N/A
Sigil Abilities: Allun has two main abilities:
1) He can copy the power of anybody who's power comes from Sigils. However, powers gotten this way have there negative effects increased by 10-50% depending on the power of the skill. Negative effects include lack of stamina and energy costs.

2)He can transfer the energy or stamina of one person to another. 25% of the energy is loss if it is forcefully taken.

These powers can only work when Allun touches someone. He can only hold one power at a time and can “let go” of the power at anytime. The more powerful Allun gets the more powers he can hold and the negative penalties are lessened.
Other: N/A

Well well! Killerwarrior13, we would be more than happy to have you. mrgreen

You win bonus points from me for choosing Quillbody.

I've read your character, and while I like it, it seems a little weak. For instance, what made you fight as a kid? Did you have anger problems (and if so, what caused that anger)? What kept you so angry as an adult? Same reasons as a kid or different?

You say being in jail was "fun." Now that intrigues me (but I'm very picky with characters so I'm sorry about that sweatdrop ). Was it fun because you got to vent out your anger in the form of fights? Or was it for other reasons? If you won the majority of your fights, did you make friends? Learn to be a leader of the prisoners?

I want to mention that if your character enjoys fighting, perhaps he should have some kind of boxing/wresting/fighting hobby. Also, what about cage matches? He could make money off of those fights (and there's no holding back in those) and it would help him with the anger. He could have learned about cage fighting while in jail.

Biggest surprise to me was being the payer of child support. Where did THAT come from? I'm not saying that you shouldn't have that in there, but you have to explain how that happened. High school girlfriend? Prostitute? A one night stand from a bar meeting? You could try describing the relationship you have with your child (girl or boy?) - is it good? Do you care very much for said child? Does child care very much for you?. Then again, that's just a personal preference sweatdrop .

I hope this helps you. And thanks for taking such an interest in Project: EDEN!!!
