Welcome to Gaia! ::

-I'd suggest making at least two characters. Even if you never get around to using your second character, it helps to branch people around and keeps them from getting too tied up in one secluded area or event.

Name(s): Daryl Mcarthy

Appearance/Description: Daryl is an average nineteen-year old grease monkey, with all the perks and problems it brings, aside from the fact that he's a super with no clue of him being a super. Daryl stands roughly six feet tall, with fly-away brown hair that hangs just above his shoulders, with coca brown eyes. He's average in most every way, including height and build, with very little in the way of distinguishing features. ((Sorry for the lack of description, there just isn't much to say.))

History: Daryl’s life has been the same of many of our’s- Two parents with decent jobs, both worked nine to five, both off for the weekends, and always around to be supportive, or frustrating, annoying, or ground you when you thought you had gotten off clean. He was born in St. Eva, and has lived in the same house since his parents brought him home. To sum it up in a word… Average.

When the Phenomena happened, Daryl simply dismissed it as something that everyone wanted to be bigger of a deal than it actually was, and went on about his life unphased. However, as with many others, Daryl was granted a talent by the Phenomena. His was just smaller than some.

A year passed and Daryl graduated from school, and went to work for his dad’s garage. If he was good at working on things before, he was excellent after the Phenomena, but again, this was largely dismissed over him being in school and still learning the ropes. To Daryl, nothing was out of place, it just made sense that things worked the way they did.

Association: None- Daryl's a nineteen year old kid, with a handful of friends and thinks of himself as nothing more than your average kid.

Power Alignment: Yellow

Power (Main): Understanding- Meaning that almost any kind of mechanical system, be it plumbing, electrical, cars, computers, almost anything with moving parts, simply makes sense to him. He looks at it, and almost instantly knows how it works, what it does, how to fix it, etc.

Power (Secondary): None, or it may very well be undiscovered yet.

Other:




Name(s): Marcus Shipp

Appearance/Description: An older man, in his early fourties, Marcus has a well-preserved body, mostly from a well-maintained daily regimine and a life of hard work. His hair is a dark brown, almost black, flecked with grey, which grows more and more prominent with each year. He usually keeps his hair trimmed short, rarely ever hanging past his ears, and always well trimmed and combed back. His eyes are a light green, holding a kindly light to go with his typical smile.

History: Marcus Shipp was born in St. Eva, and has dedicated his life to making life better for people in the city. Born to a well-off family, Marcus lived a fairly comfy life, but his parents made damn sure to teach Marcus that people like him exist to help people less fortunate. And so it was that Marcus spent many weekends doing volunteer work around the community for much of his childhood years and teenage years.

Marcus took time to amass a small personal fortune, and several charity organizations to assist people, before establishing an aid organization called The Guard. The Guard's mission is to make sure that no child goes hungry, no family without a roof, and no person without health care. For now, the Guard is small, operating solely inside of St. Eva, and has been hard at work with local law agencies to reduce the amount of violence and death in St. Eva.

Marcus' powers manifested long before the Phenomena, although he wasn't aware he even had them until the Phenomena hit. After the Phenomena, Marcus was suddenly more aware of his powers. He knew he had them, and what he was capable of doing with them. Incidentally, he has also only used his powers once since discovering what he was capable of doing.

Association: St. Eva Super

Power Alignment: Black

Power (Main): The ability to re-configure and reanimate dead organic matter. Not as in zombies, but to actually restore life to a dead thing, albeit re-purposed to be biologically and perfectly suited for combat. This is also not to be confused with resurrection. If he reanimates someone's dead body, they will hardly be recognizable as who they were, let alone with their previous memories.

Other: In order for Marcus to be able to use his power, he must first have a dead body, the fresher the better, and the more complete the corpse, the better, as well as other living people. To restore life, one requires living essence. Not that this DOES NOT require people in his presence to die for him to make, simply for him to siphon vitality from them. Side affects of this process are usually light fatigue.

Name(s): Rook

Appearance/Description: Rook is a shapeshifter, and, as such, can take on any form he pleases. However, the shape he was born with was featureless, a perfectly smooth, silver body, possessing only eyes, ears, nose and a mouth as any kind of distinguishing features. As he grew older, and learned how to use his talents, and as such, new looks. Nowadays, he maontains the form of a twenty something with varying colors of hair, most usually white, styled in dreadlocks, and a well-maintained fu man chu-style mustache, also in varying colors, most usually white. His eyes, also, are assorted colors. Rook naturally stands roughly six four, and weighs just shy of two hundred pounds, He usually favors taller and more built appearances when able.

History: Rook is the son of two Keepers, and as such, was raised, trained and employed as one. Rook has never known anything outside of the Keepers, and views them as the greatest thing to happen to his kind.

Having always identified more heavily with the Green faction more than his native whites, Rook is frequently and odds with his own faction. The only thing keeping him from open insubordination is the fact he's usually away from base dealing with white's super issues. He will frequently find some secretive, subtle way to give Green a minor edge over the White, be it by intentionally fouling an operation that would have otherwise hindered Green's attempt to get a new bloomer, or finding some diplomatic way to sway White into a compromise with Green, Rook has Green's interest at heart more so than White's. As to why the Whites haven't done away with him yet, Rook can only guess it's because he's too useful to let go. He hasn't openly defied White yet, and the things he has done have been minor, not enough to mark him as a Backslider.

Rook's role with the Keepers is mainly that of a regulator; He deals with new bloomers and Backsliders, mostly, sometimes assisting with inter-member issues. He simply wants to keep the peace, and safe folks while he's at it. The Whites, however, most frequently employ him as the means to their ends. Through the years of extensive training, they have shaped Rook into one of their finest implements of killing, and employ him as such, while taking great care on the jobs they send him on. Anything too... Grey for the killer with a conscience might lead to disagreements, and as stated, Rook is too useful to them to just write off as a backslider, as well as running the risk of loosing additional supers to the ensuing conflicts with him.

Rook, at current, is in St. Eva, with a team investigating the city, seeing what's what, providing the organization with information regarding the supers there before the Keepers go in in full.

Association: Keeper

Power Alignment: White

Power (Main): Rook is a shapeshifter. Or, to be more exact, he can manipulate his body on almost every level. He can disguise himself as a bush or a mailbox, bend with the blow, expand or shrink his body to a degree, shift his body as he pleases, and look like your mom.
He CANNOT, however. extend himself beyond the ammount of sheer matter he has. If he wants to stretch his arm six feet, that extra mass has to come from somewhere.


Name(s): Tidus
Appearance/Description: Tidus is a very, very large young man, standing something to the beat of six foot four, and weighing just under two hundred and fifty pounds, layered in what could be muscle. (Ask him to flex and you'll find out that it is muscle.) He's a nice enough guy, putting on a tough guy act to impress those around him. Tall, large, and bald, Tidus is one of the unlucky few who is balding in their teens, but hides it under a shaved head.
History: Tidus is your average suburban kid- His folks are well off, he doesn't want for anything, he has a pretty decent car, and is a football player- Kind of. Tidus has always been the one away from the rest, either because of his size, how quiet he was, or something else. During highschool, he made friends with Sam, and was content to just be "That one Guy". Under some pressure from those around him, he made the football team as one of the reserves, rarely seeing the play and even rarer to share the glory Sam tasted so often. Now adays, something of the jealous, lonely type, he talks a tough game, but rarely follows through with what he says, being something of a big teddy bear deep down. His powers were gained during the Phenomena, and is only really aware, somewhat dimly of his secondary power, his main one being far more passive than his secondary.
Association: St. Eva super
Power Alignment: Blue
Power (Main): Tidus is something of a muse. Depending on his emotions, those around him have a sudden creative urge, a flood of ideas. a want to do something.
Power (Secondary): Tidus is aware of his ability to flood a person's mind with thoughts, causing something of a burst of random memories, ideas, thoughts and sensations, causing a moment of confusion, or making someone miss a beat. This requires some ammount of focus, however, but he's fully able to take advantage of whatever opening that his power causes.
Other:

NPC dudes:

Barret
Keeper
Power- Technological evolution. As in whereas we grew up and got stronger and better organs and devloped, his body replaced biological bits with techno-organic components.

Crane
Keeper
Power- The ability to detect if one has powers through direct physical contact.

Name: Jeffery Pride
Appearance/Description: Jeffery Pride is a short, built man, with short dirty blond hair, eyes close enough to be called matching on a dark day. He keeps himself tidy and organized, dressing simple but practical. He's attractive enough to attract attention, but not so much to draw more than his share. He speaks with a quiet, calm voice, somehow more effective than if he bellowed.

History: Jeffery was not always named Jeffery. In fact, he was never named Jeffery Pride, but chose the name himself after being declared AWOL by the United States Government. After discovering he was AWOL, he deserted.
Little to say about Jeffery's life before his desertion, other than that he had little family, and no close friends outside of the military.
He had been home for almost five months when his regiment received deployment orders, but Jeffery did not receive these orders. He platoon was shipped out, but he did not receive the letters, the phone calls,or the soldiers sent to his home to inform him. For whatever reason, Jeffery Pride, who was not at that time Jeffery Pride, went unaware, and unfound.
One month later, he was informed by a second, non-military party that one of his friends was killed in duty. Certain this could not be true, how could his friends, his brothers in arms, have died across the seas, where he was not? He contacted his base, and found that he was to report there immediately. He was AWOL, and was to stand trial for desertion.
Jeffery was a loyal man, a man who believed in his duty and his job, enough to accept the men he was told to kill were men who deserved death, but he was no fool. He had no idea why, or even how he went untold of his orders, but he knew that walking away from his duty was better than walking into a gallows, and he ran. He fled his home, he family, his friends, and disappeared. He took on his new name and identity, the papers forged by a close friend who understood he had to run, a parting gift to help him disappear. He chose the name Pride out of irony: Jeffery did not know why, but he was forced to flee, something he still feels cowardly.
This was four years before the first Event at St. Eva. During the year after the initial event, Jeffery moved to St. Eva, having moved multiple times in the past years, and believed St. Eva secluded enough for his purpose of hiding.

Personal Information: Jeffery has been living in St. Eva for roughly 8 months now, and over his years he's grown less concerned with his desertion. He still keeps himself fit and trained at the local gym, and, despite the potential liability, he's kept his sniper rifle with him since his desertion, a twisted sense of affection for what he viewed as his only companion for days to weeks of sitting in one spot.
Jeffery is unaware that he has any abilities out of the ordinary, other than being good at his job. His power fit his job, so while his previous superiors believed him excellent at his task, there was nothing to raise suspicion. He personally has never considered the possibility of the supernatural in people, but has never had cause to in the first place. He works at the local high school now, coaching football and teaching physical education. He doesn't speak of his past, and has left it and his old name behind him. He is dedicated to his job and new life, and would prefer to live simple without ever having to kill again.

Association: Jeffery is none of the above, his power unknown to even himself.
Power Alignment: Heavy Green
Power (Main): Self Sufficiency: During prolonged periods of concentration, Jeffery's body becomes completely self-contained and sufficient, needing no food or water, no warmth or sleep, not even air. During this time, he can continue at peak performance with nothing to sustain him, though he himself is not conscious of it. He does not produce waste, and will maintain this state until he becomes unfocused, or in his practical sense, when he killed the mark.
Power (Secondary): TBA
Other: Again, Jeffery is completely unaware of his own power, even as a normal bodily function. He has lived his life unknowing, and likely will continue as such.




Name(s): Samuel
Appearance/Description: Samuel stands 5'10 and has a good football body; not huge, but big, and he's not shy about showing it off. He's got tousled brown hair which hangs at about the ears, and dark green eyes. Attention tends to move around him, and he's got no problem with embracing it, he's popular in high school, and it shows. He dresses casual at all times, loose jeans or shorts, fitting t-shirts and a jacket. Unremarkable clothing, beyond the leather fedora he got for his 12th birthday that he refuses to go without.

History: Samuel's life has been short and uneventful. Living in the slightly richer neighborhood of the island, he was away from the majority of the killings and other activity during the first Event of St. Eva. He played football for his high school before the event, but after the initial event, his skills took off. He was able to move quicker, and could take hits from players twice his size in stride. It never seemed anything unnatural, but he was noticeably better at what he did.
The second event happened the night he found his girlfriend in bed with another. He took the typical teen reaction of raging at them, then retiring to walk alone to cool off, ending up in one of the worse off districts.
That night in town, on the year marker of the event, his abilities began to move beyond their previous limits. As he walked along the street, a stray bullet from a shooting whistled after the back of his head. Samuel hit the ground, and hard, face planted in the ground. He stood up, rubbing the back of his head, looking for whoever threw what he assumed to be a rock. Unseen to him was the hole in the wall to the side of him, where a diverted bullet sat cooling.
Personal Information: Samuel is a popular high school student. Captain of the football team, was dating a cheerleader, and gets straight A's. Drives a nice car his dad bought him, Samuel's time is spent between girls ((he's not that broken up about his girlfriend)), football, and looking at colleges for the next year. He's relatively care free and content with breezing by till college. He's only just begun to realize there might be something more to his new found prowess at football, and that it may have something to do with the second Event.
Association: N/A. Samuel is only beginning to become aware that he may be more than quick.
Power Alignment: White
Power (Main): Physical Relativity: Samuel is a strong young man, but he's only as strong as he looks, or, as you look that is. Samuel possess no super strength or speed, he cannot throw a car, he cannot run faster than one either. However, if the flash were to try and tackle him, he could sidestep it. If Superman were to punch him, he grab him and direct him to the side. His strength and speed are relative to the strength and speed of the object or force moving at him. This remains defensive, the buff lasting for the moment it applies, giving him a moment to move or use the person's strength to shrug them off, or throw them in certain instances.
Power (Secondary): TBA
Other: There are certain things that can move beyond the restraints of his ability, elements in particular. The beach, or a strong wind filled with leaves or large objects have been known to give him a headache, even disorient him if there's enough.
His power is natural born, triggered by the first event, and charged by year mark.


Name(s): Jarred Flint
Appearance/Description: Tall, messy black hair. Dresses casual whenever he can get away with it, which is often, given the laid back nature of his job. Green eyes, cool features, and a long scar reaching from his right shoulder along his back to his left hip.
History: Jarred was left parent-less early in his life due to a tragic car crash, which left him with a long scar along his back. He was taken in by his grandfather on his father's side, an old man made wealthy by the stock markets. Jarred was raised by him, unspoiled despite his wealth, and he became a father to the young man. For Jarred's 19th birthday, his grandfather gave him a german shepard Jarred named Rex. Shortly after his 20th birthday, his grandfather suffered a massive heart attack and passed away, leaving Jarred everything. He quit his job as a volunteer fire shortly after, finding himself unable to cope with the high stress situations anymore.
Jarred now works at an arcade his grandfather owned, named Emerald Visions, set in the more generic parts of the city. Not a bad neighborhood, but not super-ritzy.
Association: St. Eva made
Power Alignment: White
Power (Main): Pacification aura- Any super within a given area of Jarred, roughly 100 feet, though it will generally work as "if he's interacting with them", suffers a lessened power. Abilities will not work to their fullest potential, or, at the very least, will require more effort to use. He cannot lock out someone's powers, and this applies to all powers.
Other: Jarred is one of three employees at Emerald Visions, but is the only one that will likely be there, and the only one powered. He is unaware of his power, given it's limited use and the fact that it spawned only a year ago.
Jarred is very wealthy, but doesn't live it. He has a nice apartment, with nice things, but he was never spoiled in his life, and refuses to be now, despite the inheritance from both his parents and grandfather.

Appearance/Description: In Progress
History: In Progress

Gonna go to bed now, but I'll finish these up tomorrow night XD

Name(s): Adam Hall.
Appearance/Description: DOODLE 8D Adam is 12 years old, with vivid red hair and a face spotted with freckles. His eyes use to be brown, but now are clouded over, a faint hint of brown can still be seen through the fog. He stands at around 4'9'' and is an average build for a kid his age. Usual clothing is t-shirts and jeans/shorts, but he ALWAYS wears his favorite red hoodie. Sometimes when going outside he'll wear sunglasses, but only when the sun is really effecting his eyes.
History: Adam was born into the keepers, his father being a well-trained telepathic. He doesn't know much about his father's part in the group, or much about his mother. She was rarely spoken about by anyone, especially his father, despite Adam's near-constant questioning. He was told his mother died while giving birth to him, and that was it.

Even with his father denying him of any information about his mother, Adam still idolizes his father. He takes everything he says as words to live by, and fully believes, like his father, the ways and beliefs of the white group.

Although he didn't have any signs of having powers at birth, the Keepers kept him around for the chances of him being a late bloomer. As he got older with no signs of any abnormalities, the other members of the white category began doubting him turning up with any powers, as did his father, which depressed Adam greatly. He wanted to be just like his father, but now with no powers, he was doomed to life as with a "normal" line of work. He felt useless.

A few weeks after turning 11 years old, Adam began having troubles with his vision. He woke late one night with severe headaches, pain around the eye area, and was rapidly loosing his peripheral vision. After being rushed to the doctor, they concluded he was suffering from closed angle Glaucoma, which is a very painful version of the disease, but usually with the symptoms it can be caught early on and dealt with. In Adam's case, the doctors couldn't figure out what brought this on so suddenly and severely. Glaucoma is less likely to appear with someone as young as he was, and becoming blind is usually a slow progression. With Adam, it seemed to speed up rapidly, like he had been having these symptoms for years. By the time he got to the hospital, he went from blurry peripheral vision to none at all, and the darkness was rapidly closing in on him.

The doctors tried reversing it as quickly as they could, from eye-drops to LPI surgery, but nothing was working. By the early morning, Adam was completely blind, and scared out of his mind.

While doctors deliberated over his case and if there was anything they could do to reverse it, they kept Adam overnight for observation. That was when the dreams began. Reoccurring dreams of looking over the horizon at a giant wave of strange lights moving towards him rapidly. Shadows around him screamed and retreaded from the light, but Adam could not move, could not breath, could not look away from what seemed to be the end of the world.

Adam was frightened beyond all reason, begging his father to figure things out and fix them like he always did. His father, although worried about what exactly was happening to his son, his interest sparked, reassuring his son he would look into things and that everything would be alright.

A few days later, the incident at St Eva occurred, along with an errie deja vu feeling Adam had during the event, while awake. Rolling lights sweeping across the city in a matter of seconds, very similar to Adam's dreams a dew days before.

Since then, Adam's dreams were recorded and looked over and compared with and happenings in or around the area. He would abstractly vision the future from something as small as a small conversation between two members of the Keepers, to someone's death or a major natural disaster.

Adam has slowly but surely adjusted to loosing his vision a year ago. He is required to record every dream he has on a tape recorder for analysis, and is now being taught to become a crucial part of the Keepers once he gets older.
Association: Keeper.
Power Alignment: White.
Power (Main): Adam, although being blind for a year now, can "see" the future. This only happens in the REM stage of sleep; the deepest part of sleep, and where you're usually dreaming. The visions are usually in dream-form. Obscure and symbolic in meaning, but some conversations/certain events will be exactly depicted in his mind how they will be in the future. Adam only sees these visions in his sleep, and if they event will happen soon, generally a few hours to a week from then, Adam will have
Power (Secondary): Unknown.
Other: Need to think about it...

Since the phenomenon at St Eva, she has been working to hone her powers.
Power (Secondary): Unknown.
Other: Olivia loves to do math. She'll find complicated math problems online or in her college workbooks, just to do for fun. Also likes to troll the internet and take long walks for no reason.
