[Robert Ashter]

Name: Rodney, Luo, Lang

Face Claim: Nicholas Tse

----------------------

Nickname: Rod, Doc
Age: 31
Birth Date: April 7, 2085
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual
Occupation: Scientist on genetic enhancements
KD Carrier: Vaccinated

Hair Color: black
Eye Color: dark brown
Height: 5'9''
Tattoos/Scars: none
Misc: Rodney has natural small bags under his eyes. You know when he visits his family as the facial hair he'd normally wear due to not shaving much when working is now out and he is clean shaven. He'll also bear a shorter haircut when that happens. He normally doesn't care too much about what he looks like or what he wears. While colors may not always match, he'll make sure the clothes fit. He does try to stay in shape but he also knows that his health is more of a concern than his shape and that it should not slow down his work so he doesn't always have the time for that.

Origin: grew up in sector 11: Ashborne
Parents: Daniel Lang (father)
Siblings: none
Significant Other: Carmen Miller (wife)
Worthy Mentions: Two sons, Hunter (3 years old) and Dimitry (6 months old), Veronica Downes (woman who raised him)

Childhood: Rodney’s father was one of the lucky few already working for the Syndicate when the war happened. A genius himself in the genetic field, he helped the Syndicate to the best of his capacities for years before he started to wonder who would succeed him. He wanted to give his legacy to someone who’d make something even bigger out of it. Another little prodigy. Rodney is a test tube baby, one the father had high hopes for. Rodney’s life was monitored since birth and he had always been pushed towards excellence. Average may as well be mediocre for him. He showed at an early stage that his father’s wishes would be fulfilled, at least when it came to having a prodigy. Now, he had to make sure that brain was put to good use.

Rodney has no idea if Veronica Downes is his mother or not but the woman took care of him since his father spent most of his time working and barely ever went home, only to see the progress his son made. In doubt, he never called her mother in front of his father but would do so occasionally when alone with her. He was aware that he was more a test subject than a son to his father. It was even clearer whenever he saw other kids with their parents and those were loving. Veronica gave a bit of that but the orders were clear, Rodney was not to grow soft for being pampered too much. Affection was not the most important.

While Rodney showed he was brilliant in mathematics and science, and generally understood how certain things worked without being told to, he also had some gaps in other domains. His father tended to see those more than the rest so Rodney tried to work harder on them and be the best in everything, to the point of often denying it took him any effort at all. At the same time, this constant pressure and competition was not to please him.

Teens: If Rodney did not turn down his father’s dream as he reached puberty, it was because he loved science. Throughout the years, as he was allowed to learn more about the Syndicate and its work, he grew fascinated by the genetic field. His talent in engineering did not match what he could accomplish elsewhere and while it saddened his father to see he was not ‘good at everything’, Rodney decided that he should do what he wanted more than what his father wished. Prodigies often treated like adults, they definitely were told they were more special than the rest with all they were allowed, he took an adult decision by ignoring the whole tech aspect and focusing on the genetic.

He worked on every test thrown at him, answered every question, solved every puzzle. It proved difficult to befriend people that did not have his intellect as an adolescent. The fact everyone seemed to push the kids to perform and be together and not with the rest did not help. While not being cocky to the other kids, he quickly found that conversing with them was quite a task. Plus he would always be picked last for a game anyway. He focused on his studies, as he was told, as befriended fellow prodigies instead. He never truly wondered what it was like to be a normal kid, more so he wished he could get along better. But it was as though they spoke different languages.

Adulthood: As he graduated, Rodney was given the choice as to where he wanted to live. He chose to remain in Sector 10, with the chance of staying at his father’s house in Ashborne if he so wished. He was eager to start working, especially with the daemons, but the KDV occurred and that seemed for more of an emergency. Lori Phoenix was the one discovering a cure. The fact she was younger, although not by much, humbled him. Respecting her genius, he had no problem working under her to produce more cures and vaccines for the residents within the walls. He was also vaccinated at the time. For an entire year, he worked on the virus to help keep it under control. Only after was he able to work on what he really wanted.

While he works along his father, he doesn’t have the same approach. Rodney tends to implicate himself too much into his work. His father often says he is too sentimental. He considers whoever he works on, whether it is a beast, a daemon or just the effect of new medicines, as their child in a way, although he does not nurture them. Their achievements bring him pride and their failures are his.

Virus and the damages it caused prayed on Rodney’s mind. It made him wonder the same thing his father did before, who would succeed him when he’d be gone. He considers the work done here as vital. It helps the new generation of man to survive in their new environment. The evolution must keep on and he knows not all will be accomplished in his time. For a few years, he was able not to think of it but as he grew, the thought came back more and more. He wanted someone to follow in his footsteps. He simply was not sure about making it a test tube baby, like his father did. He believed a human aspect was also necessary in a child’s growth. He needed a mother for his child (or children), but just not any.

There was no love between Carmen Miller and him, at least not on his part. She was a fellow prodigy who got attacked at the lab during an experiment gone wrong. While she became no longer efficient at work, she could still bear children. Genetically speaking, she was perfect and she seemed to consider the offer as reasonable as she agreed to it. While he may not love her, he has respect for her. Both ready to bring new prodigies into this world, they married, for the form, and had first Hunter than, to be on the safe side, Dimitry.

While a part of him doesn’t want his children to have the same kind of childhood he had, his work is what occupies his mind the most. He is starting to understand why he father acted the way he did. There are times when he comes home more as a request from Carmen then his own decision. Don’t get him wrong, he loves his sons and is certain he’d be proud of them whatever happens. But this love and pride is not the same as the love and pride he has for the subjects he is working on. And he finds it harder to express it.

Kentaro Itonokogiri
FACE CLAIM: Takumi Saito

♦ THE BASICS ♦

AGE: 25
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Pansexual (while he only had female lovers thus far, he considers he could just as easily fall in love with a man)
POSITION: recruiter and was also accredited as a trainer in Japan before transferring here

♦ THE ABILITY ♦

POWER: Abdominal Pouch
Kentaro has the ability to peel off a part of his lower abdomen in order to store objects in it. You can see where he can pull it by the light scar-like line on his lower left side, under the belly button reaching almost to the hip. Underneath is more skin, as though he was wearing a second layer of skin on top that he could use as a pouch. Peeling it is not painful. It’s like removing cellophane from a container. Anyone knowing of this pouch and where to pull the skin can do it, but it requires more than simply grazing the skin over his waist to do so. The opening is not very wide so you have to put your hand into the pouch in order to place/remove an object in/from it. The pouch is also limited in size and can contain nothing bigger than a water bottle. While he can stretch it a bit in order to fit more, it generally has its toll on his health. The pouch is clean so paper can be put in there without coming out covered in goo or anything like that. As said above, it’s basically a skin pouch attached to his belly. The objects will likely be as warm as if they remained against someone’s body/in their hands for as long as it remained inside of him. It can be possible to see whether or not he is currently holding objects, depending on the object's size. The bigger it is, the more it creates a bump on the left side of his stomach. Kentaro can keep objects in there for as long as he wants. The main advantage to this pouch is that it blurs any kind of detector. For example, a metal detector would not sense he's having a weapon stashed inside of him and so can smuggled objects without people knowing it. And X-Ray however may reveal it.

LIMITATIONS:
The biggest limitation is size. The pouch goes from his belly button to his hip, anything larger cannot fit in there.
No living creature can be stored in it. Well, it could, but it would also likely claw, bit or chew its way out of it. And if placed in a container, well Kentaro doesn’t have holes in there to allow much breathing room.
It is also dangerous for Kentaro to hold radioactive, boiling, frozen or otherwise dangerous objects in there. A knife for example could easily fit in there but could just as easily cut him if the blade is not protected. If attacked and hit in the stomach while holding something, it can break the object and therefore hurt him. He cannot put a bomb in there if it's about to blow to protect people, it will blow him up along with it. If the dangerous object is in a safe case that does not risk breaking or leaking, it can remained stashed in there without problem.
While no detector can scan the object he has inside (metal, radioactivity...) an X-Ray can reveal objects in his abdomen.

SIDE-EFFECTS:
Kentaro can poison/hurt himself with whatever is inside of him if not properly handled.
Big objects form a bmp on his left side which can sometimes make it hard to move the hip normally. He would normally compensate by putting more weight on his right side but it can be damageable to his hip.
Big objects also pushes through his organs in order to get more room which can cause multiple intestinal problems and, since the intestines then push other organs to have room, bladder problems.

♦ THE CHARACTER ♦

HEIGHT: 1,84 meters, in other words a little more than six feet tall.
HAIR COLOR: dark brown-blackish hair
EYE COLOR: brown

MISC: Kentaro has natural pouches under his eyes. His most notable features however are probably his lips that are big and voluptuous. His hair has a natural curve to it and if it looks messy, it is always because it's been styled that way. Kentaro is actally pretty conscious of his body and the way he looks and has a bit of a dandy side that cannot take looking disheveled no matter what he's wearing. He's also practiced boxing for a few years now and has the body to prove it.

PERSONALITY: Kentaro is a mix between the candor and naivety of youth with the seriousness of experience. Not that he is all that experienced. And some teacher may argue that he was not the most obedient of student, nor the most assiduous, but even they could not deny he always did the work asked of him. While he may hate the studies/work required to achieve something, he ultimately always took it seriously. If they had to do an exam, he would do it with calm. He’d also do it quickly and would suffer if he had to wait any longer before walking out of the class. Kentaro was the kind to get good grades without having to study too much. He just had a good memory that tended to erase all that knowledge once the exams were over. It gave him a lot of free time that he would spend hanging out with all sorts of people, trying all sorts of things and sometimes doing the occasional mischief.

Kentaro is well aware that he is young and that most people in his field of work have more experience than he does. He respects that, he just also wants to have fun too along with it. He doesn’t see the point of taking a job if you find no pleasure in it. He does show respect when respect is asked of someone older/superior to him, otherwise he probably looks like some fop here to make the girls fall in love. But Kentaro knows what he’s doing and even if he may approach things with what appears to be light-headedness, he’s also serious about it and would not risk his attitude from ruining everything.

Kentaro loves to be surrounded and to get some attention on him. Yet, even if his name might pop up in your head as someone to have around, you may fail to pinpoint why. It’s almost like he’s part of the furniture, you don’t quite know his purpose all the time but you know something’s missing if he isn’t around. He does small talk only when forced but gives his opinion freely and he has one on all sorts of topics, from movies to social or ecological matters. You could say he is more of a serious conversationalist. He’s good at moving his hips but isn’t the kind to ask for a dance out of the blue. He might dance if he is asked. He’s a movie and music lover and will often give a try to foreign artists. Kentaro hates solitude he did not seek in the first place. He also cannot take silence, he needs noise around him, and action too if that is possible.

He’s a bit of a risk taker, sometimes even appearing reckless to others. He’s not afraid of experimenting new things. Again, his carefree nature makes him more intrigued about the unknown than scared. He doesn’t really mind not knowing what that ‘unknown’ is either. He’d just say he wasn’t meant to know. Don’t read anything spiritual in it.

Kentaro knows how to flirt although it would often appear as shy. While there is some shyness to it, he’s probably more confident than he looks. He’s not one to get easily worried over matters. His light-heartedness may also make him look like he doesn’t seem to care so much about your worries, but he does listen. While in his interaction with others he can appear carefree, should someone spy on him when working, they’d realise he can actually look very focused and dedicated. Kentaro loves sharing a drink with an acquaintance but whenever a problem is brought that he doesn't feel he could help with, he tries to change the topic. He's not very good at hearing people complain for the sake of complaining.


SECRET(S): Kentaro hates when people say Japanese words to him. He knows what hello means, no need to say ‘Kon'nichiwa’ or to tell him ‘sayonara’ instead of goodbye. He’s no one’s ‘sensei’ either. Okay, so he does eat Japanese breakfast, but they are hardly the only ones eating fish for breakfast, right? Don’t get surprised if he refuses to have sushi with you for lunch too.

Kentaro doesn't have a very good sense of direction. He can get lost pretty easily. He's also an okay driver at best, this problem enhanced with the fact Americans drive on the other side of the road they do in Japan.

♦ THE HISTORY ♦

Kentaro was born in Sakai city in the prefecture of Osaka. While it may be hard for people to hear it in English (or even in Japanese since they aren’t all that used to it) he still has an accent typical of this area. His youth was pretty uneventful and typical of that of any other kid his age. He had friends, he went to school, he did chores at home and tried not to hate too much his older sister Momoe who liked to torment him based on the ‘older sibling’s right’.

He was relatively young when he took on boxing. One of their neighbours was a regular at a gym and Kentaro would see him train and then replicate what he did to the best of his capacities with his friends. After he accidentally hurt a friend and the neighbour caught them, the man suggested he trained for real instead of doing it like an idiot and much to the boy’s surprise, his parents agreed to it. Now he had a weapon against his sister who anyway had lost some interest in tormenting him now that she was a teenager who should care about more important things like idols and hair products.

It was known in the family that some of its members were mutants. Still, as it often skipped a generation and sometimes didn’t even touch every child in the family, it was more something the adults were warned about to look out for than something they all expected. Kentaro had no idea it was his power that manifested when he saw that light mark on his stomach. He thought it may be left by his briefs, or maybe he hurt himself during practice. As he touched it, he ended up able to peel a bit of the skin. When he realised it could actually come off, he stopped straight away, afraid he would let his guts out if he did so and warned his parents who rushed into the nearest hospital with him.

The doctors proved to be quite puzzled as they realised there was skin underneath that skin. Their best explanation was that it was only extra skin that somehow formed on top of it and maybe that white trace indicated it would come off eventually. They suggested to remove it surgically and let the family out to think about it. Before any surgery could be performed, or serious thought been given to it, someone offered them another explanation. Apparently, it was a power. Kentaro didn’t quite get what kind of power that was, it seemed pretty lame compared to throwing fire or reading thoughts. This earned him some more teasing from his sister, in case he ever forgot she had the right to do so as his older sibling. When suggested to move out of Osaka to go to the Sainō school, Kentaro was puzzled as to the usefulness of it. He had a pouch of skin, how many hours of training to master this ability could really be required? But his parents told him it would be more profitable and so he did it.

At that time, Kentaro had the dream of becoming a DJ, or maybe a barman, which, he supposed, meant that his ultimate goal should be to own a club. And he was not even in age to drink yet! By the time he was however, he had long abandoned that dream, finding two major flaws to it: 1) he had no money to fund this project and didn’t plan on starting his life covered in debts and 2) he was terrible with the whole planning and business knowledge required to own... well, a business. His counsellor tried to help him by suggesting he considered his power but that didn’t help at all. After all, unless he wanted to be a smuggler for a yakuza, there didn’t seem to be much use to his power. Not to add that most people didn't quite like looking at him putting his hand in his stomach to retrieve objects.

The decision to become a recruiter and a trainer came at him after quite some thought. Since his ability was indeed pretty easy to master, he was often allowed to skip class. To occupy him so he wouldn’t disrupt someone else’s lesson, the school asked him to take care of the new students, show them around, answer their questions and whatnot. Not seeing a reason to say no, he said yes. Turned out he wasn’t so bad at it. And so, when high school was over, he asked if he could continue doing something like this. The school said recruiting and training was the closest to what he had been doing and so Kentaro chose to study to become a recruiter and a trainer. He sometimes had to skip lessons in order to travel to pick a student. Kentaro didn’t train anyone in Japan however, other than during his own lessons. He showed curiosity as to how they did it elsewhere and at the various methods of teaching. This was how he got involved with Bellefonte and moved there. While it may be cruel to have him try his hands on their students, Kentaro is actually pretty eager to do it and see what it’s like.Somehow, in here, he most often gets referred to as Mr Kogiri. He cannot say he minds.

[Robert Ashter]

Tallulah Marceline Wright
FACE CLAIM: Alexia Fast

♦ THE BASICS ♦

AGE: Seventeen
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
POSITION: Belelfonte Student

♦ THE ABILITY ♦

POWER: Illusion
Tallulah has the ability to input illusions into people's minds. To do that, she needs to keep eye contact with the person for about five seconds (rarely less, often more). This time is used for her mind to find a weak spot into the other person’s mind to place the illusion in. During that time, she needs to focus on what she wants the person to see. However, the illusion’s exact form cannot be decided by her. For example, if she wants somebody to see a cake, she may be able to determine a type (chocolate) but not the form it will have. This means she is bound by the person’s knowledge of things. Despite not knowing their family, she could make them see their parents since they do know what they look like however if she tries to generate something they’ve never seen before, the image will take whatever form they believe it is like and/or will be blurry and not realistic enough.

Once the illusion is in, Tallulah has little control over the time it will last. She could maintain it by keeping eye contact with the person but the duration of the illusion is up to the person. If they do not want to move out of it, it can last longer, whereas people with some sort of mental barrier or enhanced senses could tell faster and break through after mere seconds. It generally lasts fifteen minutes, twenty at best. The illusions are harmless and visual only. There will be no sound or smell attached to them. It will also be impossible to interact with them. Being touched by something/someone who wasn't in the illusion will also help the brain break through it faster. They can be as small as a die or as large as an entire room, the time it lasts is still generally the same. In fact, smaller ones often tends to end faster because the surrounding area isn’t an illusion and people may walk through it, thus proving to the brain it isn’t real. In the same line of idea, if the room is loud, the person’s senses can hear it and break from larger illusions that covered the cause of the noise. Normally, the brains starts attacking the illusion right as its implanted, it simply takes it some time to notice the distortion between what is fake and what is real.


LIMITATIONS:
- While she can put illusions in her head by looking at herself in the mirror, her brain tends to destroy them just as they are created.
- People with enhanced senses can more easily break through. Same for those with some kind of mental barrier. It may not even work on them.
- Tallulah is not immune to other people’s illusions.
- Cannot determine exactly what the illusion will look like, her power is limited by the affected person’s imagination/memory.
- Needs to have an eye contact to implant the illusion. If the contact is broken in any way, including blinking, she has to start all over again. To maintain an illusion, she needs to keep eye contact (the person not necessarily knows of it as the illusion could erase her from their sight).
- Illusions are visual only, they have no sound or smell to them. They also cannot be touched.


SIDE-EFFECTS:
- If she creates a big illusion, the objects that now disappeared from the person’s sight are still there, meaning if they move inside the illusion, they could get hurt because they don’t see it.
- The most tiring is to implant the illusion. It asks a lot to her brain. She will be dizzy for a few seconds once that is done. After that, is she maintains contact, it will slowly get worst. This can lead to fainting.
- Repeated use of her power will leave her with migraines and nosebleed.
- Greater chances of getting brain tumors and cancer.
- Tallulah can sometimes question what is real and what isn’t.

♦ THE CHARACTER ♦

HEIGHT: 5'8'' (1.73 m)
HAIR COLOR: light brown
EYE COLOR: dark brown

MISC: She couldn't hide it, even if she'd want to. Tallulah has lost her right leg about four inches below the knee. While she now sports a nice proshetic leg, she started school without one. Even so, it's pretty obvious this isn't a real leg. Even so, she doesn't cover it with pants, as she preferred skirts and shorts in the past rather than tie the loose pant leg as she would have had to. Her clothing style is normally unimpressive and pretty basic. Same for her hair, that she only brushes and sometimes put up in a ponytail. She doesn't like wearing makeup and has very few pieces of jewelry.

PERSONALITY: Tallulah is a strong-willed yet cheerful young woman. She had to be strong when she lost her leg at twelve and had to walk around with crutches because they could not afford a prosthetic leg at the time. In fact, she got it only this year and is not entirely used to it. Still, she didn't let the glances and comments behind her back destroy her and showed a strong face to the world, often acting as though there really was nothing there. She hates being pitied and would normally explain to people who showed their sympathy for her what it really is like and just how she is dealing with it. Really, the reason why she doesn’t want any of that is not to depress herself. Because it is taking its toll on the girl, she’s just not showing it on the outside. She has decided to act like this, hoping that if she seemed as though having only one leg is really nothing, people would stop consider this as the main, if not the only, way to talk of her. She prefers to be positive than aggressive about it.

When depression over being different isn’t hitting her, she is a rather happy person. Most of the time, she would rather ignore someone instead of fighting them head on. Unless she finds them picking on someone weaker. It might be the bottled feelings losing a leg brought up in her that makes her want to fight for others. But she’s always been a bit headstrong.

When Tallulah gets passionate over something, she can get pretty intense. She will also likely bore everyone about this. Like this time she took to mandala coloring and had three different books with hundreds of those to draw. In the end, she only drew about a third of them before getting bored. Because that’s the problem with her passion, it can die just as easily as it started. She’s had several books she did not finish because she lost interest halfway through it or tv shows she’s abandoned because it wasn’t quite like the amazing first season. People can fall into that same pattern although it is less likely. The idea of going out with them is more to happen than her sudden desire to break ties with them.

Tallulah has a wall that she’s built around herself. While she may say a lot about her past or things she likes, getting to really know her or consider yourself as a very close friend of hers may be tougher than it seems. It’s worse if you have a crush on her. She’s just had too many people finding her missing leg as more awkward than they first believed, or going to her just to make fun of the handicapped girl that she protects herself by maybe revealing much and doing activities with you but not letting anyone too close. If she has a crush on you, she's even more likely to keep you away from her, scared you'd think it's too strange to be with someone who only has one leg. She can take it from strangers (not really but she can hide her pain well enough) but that would destroy her if someone she really liked thought that way.

If you think her physical state makes her idle, you couldn’t be more wrong. You’ll likely find that she walks a lot faster than you could imagine and she isn’t afraid to get things done. She just knows there is a limit to what she can do. Maybe a little less now that she has a leg, but she’s still not quite used to it so she’s going easy on it for now.


SECRET(S): Tallulah is totally obsessed by Asian dramas and more particularly Japanese ones. Dramas though, as in live action shows and movies, not the anime type, as she doesn’t know those too well. She can spend hours watching them on her laptop. She’s also a big fans of J-Pop and J-Rock, especially Kat-tun (so please don’t remind her they disbanded this year).
She also dreams of being a cook and have her own restaurant someday.

♦ THE HISTORY ♦

Tallulah was born on a September afternoon, the fifteenth to be exact. Her mother is Rosalind Wright. As for her father, she doesn’t know who he is, other than a name on her birth certificate: James Powers. Her mother said he died before she was born, before he even knew he had a daughter. Is this true or just an attempt to quiet her daughter’s questioning? Tallulah isn’t sure and doesn’t really care. The man was never there and she never looked for him. Anyway, her mother started seeing a man when she was about three and Miles was the only one she remembered and considered as a father figure. Miles also had a son, Isaac, who was her age. The two, despite knowing there was no common DNA between them, always treated each other as brother and sister. Their parents separated when they were about nine but they saw the beautiful friendship between their children and thought it would be bad to prevent them from seeing each other. They were each other’s best friend after all.

She was twelve when an accident caused her to lose her right leg. She’s never known what caused a part of the building’s foundations to collapse but a piece of the ceiling fell on her and crushed her leg. It took a long time before they could get everyone out. All that Tallulah remembers well from that day was how she closed her eyes when they pulled her out and took her to the ambulance, in fear or seeing a pancake version of her leg. Then started a battle, and despite the fact there was not weapons involved in it, there was a lot of bleeding, of the financial kind. It was a battle with insurances. She was too young to understand it all but it sounded to her as though both argued over who should pay. The building’s insurance refused to give anything until a thorough investigation was complete and a clear explanation to what happened had not been established. Between all of that was a young girl who had started necrosis on her toes. The least expensive solution was to amputate. Anyway, they would have had to cut a piece of the foot and to a twelve year old Tallulah, a part of the foot or a part of the leg mattered little, it still meant she would be mutilated.And so Tallulah lost her leg. The doctor still tried to make her look on the bright side by telling her he left her as much as he could.

Tallulah’s mother didn’t have the money to pay for the medical bill though. She was now covered in debts. In order to pay them, they gave up their apartment and moved to a smaller one. Tallulah learned to walk with crutches, as they didn’t have the money to get a prosthetic leg. Even the crutches had been offered to them. It was rough at times, especially since teenagers are the worst at showing compassion towards each other. She had to endure it for about two years before her power manifested. Her mother was depressed every now and then, usually after being completely burned out from work and seeing her daughter forcing a smile on for her sake, and Tallulah tried to cheer her up yet again. This time, after the woman looked into her girl’s eyes, something unbelievable happened. For a moment she saw Tallulah, with two legs. She stood up in frenzy, not getting what was going on, scaring the daughter in the process. And so the illusion faded and Tallulah’s mother assumed she only imagined all of this. Only, within the week, a knock was heard at the door and two people came up to explain this was indeed an hallucination but that it had nothing to do with her being tired. It would appear Tallulah’s father had been a mutant, a fact her mother had no idea of and so a whole new concept of the world opened for the two. While being scared of leaving her mother behind, Tallulah was still willing to follow them to Bellefonte Academy. At the very least would it be one less mouth to feed and so the debt may be cleared faster.

When arrived at the school, her main concern had been the price of it all but she was told her mother wouldn’t have to pay. She found it hard to believe and even turned down the laptop they offered at first, along with a few others things, until she was assured this wouldn’t cost them anything. Tallulah had not used a computer often in her life, nor did she look at the internet much. She loved it with a passion. Through a channel called YouTube (you know it?) she discovered Asian dramas and visited multiple other sites offering subbed versions of them. Since she was not part of any club and relatively quick to do her schoolwork, she spent most of her free time watching those.

Earlier this year the court had finally stated just how much the insurance and those held responsible owed her for what happened to her leg. It took some time but they eventually sent the money. While her mother used it to repay a part of the debt, she spent it mostly on giving her daughter a new leg, hoping she would have a slightly more normal life. Now Tallulah has two of those again, which is a bit weird at times. Not to add that she’s not quite used to it just yet. But she intends to be and show people what she can do.

Michael Xander Miller
FACE CLAIM: Connor Paolo

♦ THE BASICS ♦

AGE: 19
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Homosexual
POSITION: College Student - communications

♦ THE ABILITY ♦

POWER: Healing Transfer
Michael has the ability to transfer someone’s wounds/disease onto him and vice versa. His power works on both humans and animals. He needs to physically touch a person (skin to skin contact with his hands) for it to work, preferably where the wound is. Anywhere is fine but it will take longer for the transfer to occur and he risks passing on more than he meant to. Simply touching is not enough however, he must also have a desire to take the pain or pass it on, or at least to heal the person or himself. Whenever there is a transfer, the gravity is reduced by a fourth. A broken bone will become fractured for example. If he transferred it onto him, it will also eventually heal entirely although the process can take from a few minutes to several days, depending on the initial gravity of the wound/disease. Every time Michael takes on someone’s pain however, his cells deteriorate. If he keeps healing repeatedly and it is left unattended, it can shut down his whole system, much like a widespread cancer. This is where his transfer ability becomes vital: Michael must pass it on a living being in order to regenerate his cells. The creature will die of it however.

LIMITATIONS:
- Michael can only heal physical ailment. He cannot cure mental diseases. He also cannot grow back limbs or heal deformities as the person was born like this. He cannot make scars disappear as the wound healed already.
- While Michael can save someone on the brink of death, once they are dead, there is nothing he can do.
- Michael must have a desire to heal in order for his power to work. Desire, not intent.
- He must touch the person's skin with his hand(s) in order for the transfer to occur, there mustn’t be clothes in the way (hair, scales or feathers are not an issue however). The transfer happens so long as the contact is maintained. Once it is broken, if it had not been completed, he much touch the person again to continue. If he is in no state to do so (lost consciousness for example), the transfer won’t happen.

SIDE-EFFECTS:
- While Michael will eventually heal from the injury he passed onto him, anything being a consequence of that injury remains. If he took on a stab wound, he will still have to get over the blood loss, if he injures himself, that wound will stay.
- Healing people causes his cells to decay and die, much like a cancer that will originate where he healed the first person. He may be able to regenerate enough cells after one or two small healings, but prolonged use makes the cells die all over his body which can then shut down his system and kill him. He cannot naturally heal from it like he would the injuries he takes from people.
- Since the only way to heal the cell deterioration is to pass it on another living being, his power basically demands that Michael kills in order to survive. Even if he does so on rodents, this still leaves deep emotional and psychological scars.
- The fact his power works on desire and not intent can also have terrible effect on his psyche. His power makes no distinction between wishing something and acting upon it which often makes Michael wonder if he isn't really a monster deep down inside who really wanted to inflict pain on others.

♦ THE CHARACTER ♦

HEIGHT: 5'6''
HAIR COLOR: Brown and curly
EYE COLOR: brown

MISC: Michael hates whatever part of his genetic baggage that made him grow body hair. He shaves often to make sure it doesn't show, particularly on his chest. He's a bit of a dandy and would hate to appear disheeveled unless he meant to. Michael has no scars or tattoo and is quite proud of it. He doesn't want to get marks on his body.

PERSONALITY: Michael is that little devil you’d forgive anything to because of how cute he looks. Not evil or cruel per se, he does have an impish nature that enjoys causing mischief to others or say the thing that shouldn’t have been said, all that with a smile. He knows the limit though and would not mention the death of someone’s parents as his goal is not to make them cry but to tease and have some fun out of it. Should someone hurt him however, he could be a little devil and let loose, aiming to hurt the person in return. Michael does have a bit of a big mouth, which got him in trouble before. If he’s quick to say thing, he’s not quick to act. He is also not a fighter. The idea of hurting himself or getting marks on himself terrifies him. Should someone really lose their temper thanks to something he said, he’d either try to make a run for it or beg for mercy and pray they don’t hit the face.

Michael is not as superficial as he pretends to be but he’ll let people think otherwise. He’d likely say that no friend of his could be ugly or poor when in reality it matters little. If he grows an interest on someone, he doesn’t mind their look. He may not defend them though, or walk proudly around them, but he could be there when it matters. In the open, Michael will look as though he only helps when there is a profit for him. You want help with your studies? Sure, if that pretty friend of your joins in too, it’s so much better when we’re a group. You want someone’s opinion about a dress you saw? No problem, and while we’re shopping, why don’t you get us two coffees and pastries? Again, it’s more behind the scenes that Michael will prove that he can help without asking for anything but he usually doesn’t take credit for. It would ruin his image. And his image is important. He values how people perceive him. Perhaps a little too much. He has a clingy nature and a desperate need to be loved or at least appreciated, yet, at the same time, hates that nature, thus the mischievous side coming over and his tendency of making fun of those close to him.

This need for love and appreciation makes him often seek for others to control him. He’s not exactly submissive. If someone suggests an activity and he doesn’t want to do it, he’ll make them change their mind for something else. He has a flair for the dramatic which will often make him test people, by talking to someone a friend hates or openly flirt with someone while already dating another, just so they would be jealous and claim him as theirs. He can be a bit of a drama queen and loves gossips. While he likes it when someone bosses him, he doesn’t respond well to violence or insult and will tend to retaliate if that happens. He can be spiteful when wounded.

SECRET(S): despite loving his parents, Michael hates spending time with them as they are the only ones who can make him feel ashamed of himself to this point. He loves them only from afar.

♦ THE HISTORY ♦

Despite the fact Michael’s parents met at Bellefonte, they didn’t start dating until after they both graduated and returned home. The fact there were two mutants from L.A. doesn’t sound all that special but it had been enough for the two to hit off when they met again, when Ryan Miller entered the salon Dorotea Russo worked at for a haircut. After a few months dating, they eventually married each other and had three sons: Matteo (3 years older than Michael), Michael and Martin (2 years younger). Yes, they really loved the letter M. Matteo may have an Italian name like their mother but he took more on their father for both physique and mentality. Michael was more like their mother, which, considering he was a boy, wasn’t all that good, especially to his father. The ladies at the salon always found him so cute, something he often used to get out of trouble.

Michael proved to be ‘different’ pretty early. This cute factor of his was already not something his father liked all that much.He found it too girly and he didn't want any of his boys to have that sort of tendencies. The worst thing was that Michael showed more of those 'tendencies'. His father found him a wimp because he hated doing too much manual labor as he didn't like to sweat. The fact he could get some things done by having others do them for him also wasn't something he was all that proud of. More like ashamed. It actually hurt Michael a lot, but his mother always tried to reassure him and he grew a habit to go straight to her for comfort, advices or favors since the chances to get any of those were much higher from her than the man. As came the age when girls start to become interesting, Michael failed to see that. He felt no desire to kiss them or hold their hands or claim one as his girlfriend. But kissing was getting the thing amongst his friends and he didn’t want to be left behind. Only, he didn’t want to ruin it either by closing his eyes too fast and end up kissing her nose or eye because he had terrible aim. He chose to practice. With a friend. Who turned out to be a guy. Michael actually liked the warmth and softness of the lips but didn’t feel more than this. He didn’t get much the time as his mother caught them and was pretty shaken by it. He had to explain to his parents, who feared what their son was turning into. They grew to accept it was just a practice kiss (they preferred that excuse to the other reason they had in mind) and tried to explain to him that it was normal to be curious but those things shouldn’t be done. They didn’t want any gay in their family. They didn't tell him that, it was something he grew to understand as he later learned about sexuality.

He also learned that he was indeed gay. He was panicked at this. While he loved being with a guy, his heart always beat faster at the thought of it, he was also scared of what it meant. And that his parents may find out. He kept it hidden, like a dirty secret no one should ever know about.With both parents being mutant, the chances for their sons to be were more along that of certainty than possibility. Matteo proved to be one and had already left for Bellefonte. It gave Michael some breathing room actually, having one less brother on his back to tease him and risk finding out about him. A good thing, for he had just got himself a boyfriend and the two loved to send each other texts. They also loved to meet, preferably at his boyfriend’s house. He explained his situation to him, tried to make him understand why no one should know about them. His parents would freak out. What helped was what he had not told his parents either. What didn’t help was the fact they both had little brothers who knew each other. At that time, Michael had broken his foot during a bad fall and only talked to his boyfriend through texts as he was not going out much other than to go to school. Their brothers found the texts in his boyfriend’s phone and planned to tease him in front of his parents. His understood but Michael’s... Angry against his lover, he went to see him and had a fight with him, during which he pushed him. Despite not falling badly, he started crying and screaming. Diagnostic: he had a broken foot. Michael was quite shaken that he caused this. He dared not apologize in person however and his parents confiscated his phone so he never knew really.

Not too long after that, while his parents were trying to find ways to ‘ungay’ him, recruiters came and explained this didn’t happen because he pushed him but because of his power. This didn’t make him feel better of course but the opportunity to run away from his parents was one he didn’t intend to pass on.

At Bellefonte, Michael let himself be who he is, his tendencies and his gay self. He even pushed it a little too far at times. He also took every opportunity he had not to go back home. In reality, it’s because of the awkward atmosphere when he’s home. He always ends up ashamed of who he is and so took the habit of using training his power as an excuse to stay at the school. He chose to go to college for the same reason, since he really has no idea what he’d do of his life. It’s not always fun since Matteo and Martin are there, but it’s better than being at home. At least at school he doesn’t hear about Matteo being the perfect son for being the first to go to college and wishing to become a lawyer and Martin begin better just because he isn’t gay.

James Malcolm Halloway
FACE CLAIM: Cameron Boyce

♦ THE BASICS ♦

AGE: Fifteen
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: non-sexual
POSITION: student

♦ THE ABILITY ♦

POWER: Visual Memory
Jimmy is able to remember every little detail of anything he sees, even what happens in the background that no one else may notice. Everything seen is then stored in his mind and stays there, thus taking a lot of place. Only what he sees can be stored that way, things he hears or feels will not. In fact, he has a lot less to almost no memory for those. It is a lot as though his brain takes photographs of everything. If he focuses on one thing, for example, a person, he would then be able to see that same person into every other 'photograph' his brain took, even when that person is far in the background, so long as Jimmy's eyes can see it. With time, if a memory is not properly stimulated (in other words, if he doesn't see it anymore for several months/years depending on how strong that memory is), it can vanish from his brain to make room for the others. It will likely remove everything else about that memory along with it. Even watching a photograph of the thing will no longer ring a bell to him.

LIMITATIONS:
- Jimmy can only remember things he sees to an extraordinary degree. What he hears will not stick so well.
- While he could remember the symbols drawn on a page, he cannot read the words, only see the alphabet used. If he was asked to recopy the page, he'd write the symbols without knowing what they mean.
- While he could remember every movement a person did, his body is not able to do the same if he doesn't have the proper training.
- Jimmy can remember things he sees but his vision is not enhanced. As such, if the detail was much too far for a normal person to distinguish it, he cannot see it either. He can only notice small details people could see normally but overlooked. 
- Because his memory is shapes into 'photographs', if someone changes their appareance drastically, Jimmy may not be able to recognize them. If he saw someone as a baby, he wouldn't be able to understand the teenager before him is that same person. He could also get lost if a room gets fully redecorated. He will consider it another room altogether and cannot associate it with what it looked before.

SIDE-EFFECTS:
- Because his power requires a lot of his brain, Jimmy is mentally disabled. It has been proven there is a connection between his mental state and his power, even if he had this side-effect before the power manifested. Jimmy is about 6-8 years of age, mentally speaking.
- When drastic changes are made, Jimmy can get very confused, leaving him in a state of panic because he can no longer recognize what his memory had stored.
- Making too many efforts to remember small details can result in headaches, phasing out for a moment or even blacking out.
- In order to make some space for more memories, the things he had not seen again for a while may vanish. For example, if a shop closed and another took its place, he may one day forget about the first one, even if he spent a lot of time there. It will remove all memories he had of the place.

♦ THE FREEFORM ♦

About His Mutant History

In the Bond family (Jimmy’s mother side), people tend to be ‘special’. Their mutant abilities are all mental ones. Once in a while, you get one who has exceptional power. And once in a while, you get one who’s a defect. Like Uncle Randall (that Jimmy never met) who could remember anything once he learned it once, with the slight problem that he ended up having to forget things once his brain got too full. Sounded like what anyone else would go through, except everyone else didn’t risk forgetting how to tie their shoes or the name of their spouse. Jimmy is one of those defects. His memory is beyond compare when it comes to things he saw. He can remember even tiny details. Sadly, it asks so much out of his brain that it can do little else. Jimmy was born mentally disabled. The side-effect showed before the power because the mutant gene was active within Jimmy, the power only showed later, as it normally does. His manifested when he was thirteen.

About His Mental Disability

It is not a form of autism nor a Down Syndrome. It is a fact that it is an effect of his power, but one can use other research on mental disability to understand his case. Jimmy has an IQ of 68, making him about seven years of age, mentally speaking. He can count on his fingers and knows his numeral figures. Past ten, he knows some but is more likely to simply say the digits used to write the number. He knows the letter of the alphabet but has difficulty spelling them out in order. He can read basic words and is using cards to practice. He tends to write words as you speak them, making many grammatical errors. Jimmy has no imagination. He can't create a story on something he doesn’t know or draw something he never saw. He is very gullible and easily influenced. Unable to listen to basic instincts telling you not to trust someone, he will believe everything that is said to him and can do whatever a person asks of him, so long as it doesn’t go against the rules he learned. If someone finds a way to say it does not bend those rules, he can be influenced to do as they ask. Because he is naive, he can also believe TV shows and movies are real and can be very confused when it goes against reality. He cannot associate ideas together. If he does something as soon as being asked, he can do it properly, but he tends to forget things told to him. Jimmy is able to understand basic feelings such as joy, anger and sadness. He can feel them too. He can also feel more complex emotions but does not understand them and is usually confused when it happens. He can understand someone is happy when they smile, sad when they cry and angry when they yell but otherwise cannot. He also doesn’t know how to react to people’s emotions. He will try to defuse a situation when two people are arguing and/or fighting but if that doesn’t work, he will sit in a corner and moan until it is over. He will smile and laugh with a happy person but not know what to do when someone cries. He can sense when there is a change of behaviour in a person if it is obvious but will not understand it. He likes hugs for the warmth of them but does not understand what physical contact means to others. He tends to get into people’s personal space without noticing the person's discomfort unless asked to move away.

About His Family

Jimmy’s mother is Stacey Bond, a mutant who went to Bellefonte before. His father is Oliver Halloway and as far as the Academy knows, he has no mutant ability. In his youth, Jimmy’s mother tried really hard for her son to be normal, something his father often told her to stop doing, as he obviously was not normal and they should only accept that for everyone to be happy. The couple had a daughter, Rachel, who is five years younger than James. Until they could tell for sure she was of normal intelligence, Stacey did what she could for James, fighting tooth and nail, even ruined herself with charlatans, trying to make him smart. Once she knew her daughter was normal, her interest for her son greatly diminished and the frustration showed more and more. Jimmy got punished and spanked more than once for his ‘bad behaviour’. Stacey never thought he’d be a mutant too until the Academy’s officials arrived to take him. By that time, she already couldn’t take him and had threatened more than once to place him in an institution so that their daughter could have a normal life and not be mocked by other kids because her brother was a retard. Rachel herself didn’t like playing with her brother and took on her mother’s attitude towards him. Oliver kept by his son until he found out he was a mutant. He finally agreed his place might not be by their side but at the Academy. The parents have no intention to take their son back after his studies here, something Jimmy is unaware of.

About His Relationships With Others

Jimmy has a friendly nature. Anyone talking to him is considered his friend from his point of view. He is easily intimidated by people yelling at him and is scared of physical punishments. If people can scare him, they only need to talk softly to him for Jimmy to consider them friends. He believes people are hard on him or hit him because he is stupid and so doesn’t hold any grudge against them and only gets scared of them and tries to avoid them until he can prove he got smarter. Upon arriving at Bellefonte, the staff offered him a rat as a pet that he took care of. Sadly, it died a few weeks later due to an excess of pretzels, Jimmy feeding Bruce (the rat) his snacks whenever he was in his room studying. Jimmy doesn’t understand love. He can like someone but doesn’t understand love. He also has no reaction to nudity and has no sexual impulses.

About His Dreams

Jimmy wants to be intelligent above all else. Not a genius, just smart. When asked about his motivation, Jimmy says he wants to be smart so his mother would be proud of him and touch his hair and say he is a good boy. He wants to make his parents happy. He doesn’t understand the reasons behind this motivation but it has to do with the boy’s desire to make people happy in general and his mother in particular. He has no goals for the future. When asked, he freezes, not understanding the question. He seems to believe he will stay at the Academy until he becomes smart. Since he cannot be in a regular class, finding him a job here or a tutor to take care of him outside might be best for him.

About His Fears

Jimmy fears to get people angry, especially his mother. He doesn’t seem to think he can never get smart. Since he could barely read before he came here, he senses he already got better and could only get smarter, not understanding he is about at the peak of what his IQ can allow him to get. Jimmy gets very confused when things change around him and it upsets him, sometimes even leaving him panicking. He is afraid when he knows he knows something but cannot remember it but only when others are expecting him to show he knows it. It’s the expectation that scares him the most, as he knows he disappoints more than impresses.

About His Likes and Dislikes

Jimmy likes to draw, he is a curious boy. He also has a lot of determination. He can ask a lot of questions if allowed to. He likes pretzels and chips and chocolate. He doesn’t like bitter or sour food and will spit it back in his plate. He likes sweet drinks but does not enjoy coffee. Loud music, especially the aggressive one, upsets him. Jimmy is not very good at sports, he has an awkward way of running but he wants to be with the other boys and so tries to play sports even when he doesn’t understand the rules of the game. He doesn’t like when people are fighting and will try to calm things by interfering. He loves to laugh with people. He just doesn’t get they often laugh at him and not with him.

[Robert Ashter]

Zachary Nicholas Elwood
FACE CLAIM: Sam Underwood

♦ THE BASICS ♦

AGE: 22
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
POSITION: local - freelance journalist

♦ THE ABILITY ♦

POWER: Memory Manipulation
Zach is able to get into someone’s mind and see their memory and even erase them. When it comes to seeing, if he is able to force the person to remember it, and the memory is strong enough, he can see it merely through touching the person and concentrating into seeing it. He will see the event through the person’s eyes and may even feel the way the person felt then. This works only if the memory is strong however. Most of the time, he needs to lock into the person’s brain, meaning he has to stare into their eyes to reach the brain. As this is as delicate as a bull in a china shop, the person will feel as though someone is rummaging through their head and it will naturally make them fight this intrusion. If the person breaks through, the connection is severed and so Zach often has to hold the person’s head if not strap them down. Luckily, their eyes tend not to close during that process, much like his.

Deleting someone’s memory is even more delicate and painful work. It’s almost like throwing acid in the brain, making it a very painful process for whoever he’s doing it to. When the memory is recent (deleting the past day for example), he simply deletes everything up to a certain time. It’s brutal but fast. If he must look for one memory in particular, the pain remains until he can lock onto that memory and erase it. Zach is able to delete the memory of the pain too, so people can not remember how hard it was on them and simply feel mentally exhausted and find their eyes to be dry, depending on how long it took. The memory removed stays in Zach’s mind for a while. If it was a particularly strong one, he can react as though it was his. Memories deleted cannot be brought back, but the emotion associated to it stays. For example, he can remove the memory of one nearly drowning but cannot take the fear of water that came from it.


LIMITATIONS:
- Zach needs to lock into the person’s brain through their eyes in order for his power to work. While his power can force the person not to blink while he’s doing this, the pain or discomfort felt will have them naturally try to break from this. He has to start over if that happens.
- Zach is unable to delete his own memory.
- Because it is not subtle, unless the memory was powerful enough for him to see it through mere touch, the person will know he’s going through their head. Anyone with mental shield abilities can prevent him from seeing anything and even injure him back.
- While he can erase a memory, an emotion associated to it can remain.
- Zach is not able to remove a person completely from someone’s mind. He can delete events but to remove a person entirely would mean erasing every memory the person has with that individual even those where no interaction with the two happened.
- If Zach wanted to erase something from your mind but couldn’t find it and chose to delete the entire day, everything that happened then will be removed permanently. It means you may forget the lesson you learned or things you did. It cannot be brought back even if a feeling of déjà vu can happen.


SIDE-EFFECTS:
- Zach is experiencing the memory he saw/erased. He can even feel the same as the person who lived it. It can alter his personality while dealing with the memory.
- The memories can also bring some mental disorder to him or at least mental fragility. He sometimes doesn’t know what memory is really his and which one comes from another person. He sometimes has to ask people if they really did things together or if they did it with someone else. This can prove to be very hard on his mind when he sees himself doing stuff he never would have done because it actually came from someone else’s memory.
- Using his power is mentally exhausting. He can feel intense fatigue afterwards.
- Since the whole time he is going through someone’s mind his eyes stay open, they can dry. The same can happen to the person he is looking in the mind of.

♦ THE CHARACTER ♦

HEIGHT: 6 foot tall
HAIR COLOR: brown
EYE COLOR: pale blue

MISC: Zach has trained a lot over the years, but he doesn’t always like to do that. It’s easy to know when he’s psyched up from when he is down through his style and weight, as he would drop training when he isn’t in a good mood. You can also tell when he’s trying to psych himself up because he’d do too much training. As for clothing, he’s very conventional. The wildest piece of clothing he owns has to be a striped sweater. He goes for neutral colors just so he wouldn’t have to bother with matching colors. About pants, he has a preference for jeans.

PERSONALITY: Zach is complex and has complexes. There is always a part of him that seem to be trying too hard, as though in competition with someone. It is true, he is in competition, only the person is not here and it is mostly in his head. When you talk to him, he’ll sound confident and strong but inside he doubts of his abilities. He hates that side of his however and this explains why he does his best to keep it to himself.

Zach can be a happy, witty and daring man but he has bouts of depression hitting him making him gloomy and not interested in doing anything. As he goes home less and less, this part of himself is not shown as often as it used to but he still has a pessimistic streak in him that can resonate and make him apathetic when dealing with hardships.

He is not all dark however. Most of the time, he can prove pleasant. But he is more of an observer than one who jumps in the action. He can do that, when pulled by someone he trusts and/or like. He’s more of an introvert, but one who likes being around others. He has learned over time to speak his mind more and he does so but he still keeps a lot inside, especially what’s really important. If someone hurts him, chances are they will not know because he keeps it inside until he can no longer and lashes out.

Zach can take critics well. He learns from the constructive ones and brushes off the others. Intellectually, he’s very confident, but emotionally, he is frail. There is always a part of him that is certain whoever he likes, whether it is a lover or a friend, would eventually give their affection to someone else. It makes him compensate by trying hard, sometimes too hard. he tends to kill a relationship before it’s fully dead.


SECRET(S): Zach is still unable to go back to his family and not feel resentment. He loves them but hates the person he is when around them, as he instantly grows gloomy and quiet if not defensive or downright spiteful. As long as he doesn't see his brother, he doesn't compare himself to him but does as soon as they are together or he starts thinking of him.

♦ THE HISTORY ♦

Kayleigh Nolan is a woman who simply cannot live alone. Her first husband was a sickly man she took care of. It managed to awake the motherly fiber within her. Sadly, they couldn’t conceive and he died before they could have a child. Certain she couldn’t be pregnant, she remarried and tried to adopt. This was how Kayleigh and Declan Elwood adopted the little Christopher. As it often happens, Kayleigh got pregnant of Zachary shortly after. Scared that Christopher would feel he was not part of the family because he didn't share their blood, she tended to give him a bit more. To Zachary however, it felt like a lot more.

As he is now older, he understands it was more a matter of circumstances and different personalities between them that had their mother treat them differently and that she actually loved them both just the same. Had Zach been the older one, Chris would have had to wear his old clothes. Had Zach been the one who wanted to play with Chris and accidentally broke his toy, she would have told Chris to play with Zach’s toys and punish him if he broke them in retaliation. Only the situation was reversed and Zach was too young to see she was being fair. All he saw was how much more attention Chris seemed to have and how he always had the new, nicer stuff. Chris demanded a lot of attention while Zach was quieter, this was why she gave him more attention. This made Zach resent his brother however and often quit whenever Chris joined him. He had better technique at playing piano but Chris was the one who liked to give little concerts to family and friends, so he was naturally more praised than Zach since he wouldn’t play as often. He quit playing piano because of that. He would also ditch friends the moment they saw his brother and commented on how cool he was. He just never felt like he could compete. To make matters worse, their father left for a woman over ten years younger. Their mother didn’t try to stop it. She had a very calm and accepting attitude towards it.

She remarried a few years afterwards to Jonathan Marlowe. If Zach had to talk about his childhood and younger teenage years, he’d say they were sad and boring. But he also knows now that he was mostly responsible because of his mindset. He had no idea he was a mutant and when recruiters showed up, he was certain they got it wrong and they meant Christopher. He really wanted him to be the freak, a comment that shocked their mother. She was very upset that he’d treat his brother that way. This led to an argument and Zach, for the first time, complaining about the favouritism she did. He said some nasty things at that moment and the only reason why it didn’t take a worse turn was because of his mother’s calm nature. She refused to lose her temper over this.

It was hard for him at first at school. He was stuck with a bunch of freaks and some had really scary powers. He also hated his. It stayed like this until he realised that no one here knew Chris. Then Zach tried too hard to be cool. It was more laughable than anything really. After a while, he found some middle ground, but he always competed against his brother, people just didn’t know what. He started working out and tried a bit of everything. He still returned home for vacations but that had a terrible effect on him. He always felt like whatever he did, his brother could too and perhaps even better. In his eyes, Chris always looked taller, stronger and better at everything he did, even the things Chris never even tried before. It made him compensate when back at Bellefonte when he was not simply too gloomy to do anything or just dropping the clubs he was in, to join them back a week or two later.

Zach’s writing essays have always been good. At home, during a summer, he once won a prize for teenagers having an article he wrote published in the local newspaper. He had been told by the editor-in-chief that he could come after college and he’d have a place for him. Flattered but not interested in living in the same town as his brother, Zach chose to work at a newspaper in Kalispell instead. While he’s just in freelance and can’t make much of a living with that, he tries hard. It annoys him however that he’s asked to write mostly on mutant-related matters. He wishes he could write books someday as well but knows his chances of making a living as a writer are slimmer than as a journalist. This is why he doesn’t intend to quit his job anytime soon. That and the fact he just started it.

[Robert Ashter]

ARNAUD HENRY
COLBERT
LOOKS LIKE LUKE BILYK
Arnaud was born in Portland from event planner - and overall queen of her world - Monica Colbert. She always loved French and this is how he ended up with a French name, despite not knowing more than a few words in that language, and he’s probably not saying them properly either. He has no idea who his father is but it mattered not, for with her strong-will, Monica managed to be a strong female and male figure in his life and that while barely being there to see him at all, caught up as she was in work. He’s certain that his father is just some random donor she herself doesn’t know more about and he never tried to find out who he was. She also has a power that deals with persuasion. She likes to call herself some sort of muse, with what people are ready to do to impress her at times thanks to it. Even before his power manifested, she made sure to tell him how he always needed to use everything he had to his advantage, and not care what other people might say. It isn’t something Arnaud necessarily believes in, but he was raised being told he was special and that the world belonged to people like him and it sometimes reflects on his actions.

Arnaud was relatively popular and his mother always encouraged him to try everything. He considers that if he has no preference in terms of gender for romantic partners, it is thanks to her. Sometimes, you’d get the feeling he’s more into man, for he’ll have a string of male lovers. Then he’ll move on to women. One thing for sure though, he is unable to stay with just one partner. His heart may be yours, but his bdy sure isn't. He often acts like a privileged kid, which he was, but he exaggerate this trait in order to justify the actions people do under his influence by soemthing else than his power. His mother shaped two of his most important traits in him. The first, all thanks to her heavy hand on every matter, has him constantly feel uneasy being alone and seeking a powerful presence to stay under, or at least someone stable. It makes him ask for someone’s approval even when he knows deep down that what he did was right. Or look for a provider, someone to take care of him while he go around aimlessly. The other, in opposition to her beliefs, has him want to protect every lost puppy he finds, whether that is an actual puppy, a person or a grizzly bear. This left him hurt in the past before but it’s still in him and no doubt the reason why he ran out of the house.

His power first manifested a bit more than two weeks after the mutant rebels' attack on DC. His mother was then not too keen on letting him go to out of her sight and was even ready to use her power on the recruiters to slow down the process and gain more time. It seemed like she had good instinct for the government ultimately attacked the school. As a result, Arnaud never went to Bellefonte. She was glad that he had not gone there sooner for it would have meant his capture if not death. She instead chose to show him how their power worked, with mixed results. Arnaud is still not fully able to control it, at least when his emotions are in play. He is also not as keen as she is to use it on people. Most of the time, it is harmless, as his mother said, and relatively easy to hide but this made some people act in excessive ways towards him. Still, it usually left people assuming that he keeps associating himself with obsessive and even abusive people.

Arnaud didn’t stay too long with his mother, only the time for her to help him better control his power. He didn’t share enough of her mindset and couldn’t take how she pushed him to be like more that. Arnaud is terrible at keeping his jobs, just like he is terrible at keeping anyone around him for too long. His mother chose to help him out and often provides for him, hoping he’d work with her eventually. If Arnaud is able to live well, it is mostly thanks to her and he is aware of this. Despite it all, they love each other. But he has no desire to work for her. You wouldn’t necessarily believe they are mother and child when you see them. Arnaud always addresses her by her name and she often sounds very dismissive of him. But she watches over him, like a hawk, and he is aware of that.
🎂 TWENTY🧠 MALE💕 BISEXUAL💼 ALWAYS SWITCHING JOBS🧬 PHEROMONE-INDUCED SUGGESTION📙RED
PHEROMONE-INDUCED SUGGESTION
Pheromone is a chemical secreted by the body to generate a social response in members of the same species. Aside from the regular pheromones every body makes, Arnaud has a special gland in his brain that secretes what you could call super-pheromones that will immediately give a feeling of trust on the person or persons affected.

Arnaud does not secrete them at all times, he has to want it or, in certain circumstances, does so unconsciously. Those circumstances being when he is himself in love and really wants to win the person or when he is afraid of something in order to make the threat less scary by calming it down.

The pheromones are secreted as part of the body's natural skin moisturizer under certain conditions. As a result, it works better through touch, mostly from his hands, but particles of it can be spread around him and affect people at a two feet radius. Those not in direct contact will not be as affected though. They may find him as less of a threat or more trustworthy but Arnaud will require more if he wants them to act a certain way. Even as he touches them, while it makes him immediately more likeable, he may need to keep a constant physical contact with them for them to perform certain tasks. In other words, he can make you more inclined to listen to him or agree with him but to perform actions that are very different from what you'd normally do, he requires a constant contact. Even then, it is not certain to work. He basically makes people more receptive to his persuasion through his pheromones but it doesn't mean it will work. It all depends how likely the person would perform these actions under normal circumstances. Arnaud is, however, able to make them believe such circumstances are occuring to make them act accordingly.

The pheromones act like a drug and as such, can have a stacking effect on people if used for a prolonged time. We're not talking of hours but multiple occasions on a regular to semi-regular basis and that for a few days or weeks, depending on the person. This can make people obsessed with him and require him to cut links for a period of time until the effect wears off completely. The cooling time depends on the person. A naturally possessive, jealous or obsessive person will be affected faster and will require a longer period of time until it washes away.

Because of the trust those pheromones cause on the people affected, they are more open to suggestion. He can then make them believe a lie or do something for him. If the lie is too big or what he asks it too against what the person would normally do, it might not work. It is possible for him however to find a way to make it more acceptable (someone might not want to slap a friend but he can make them believe they were cruel and then they would slap said friend). People cannot grow used to his pheromones. In other words, unless the person is naturally immune to that sort of power, they cannot grow accustomed or immune to it. It will always take the same level of exposure to it before they 'overdose' on them.

LIMITATIONS
- The closer to him, the stronger his power will be, but his power is definitely more effective with contact.

- The effects vary on the person: someone naturally attracted to him will love him whereas someone very antipathetic towards him might simply trust him a little.

- People less affected to pheromones and other chemicals could be immune or at the very least the effects will not be as strong. Empaths and telepaths might be able to sense something wrong in what they are feeling for him and this can cause resistance, allowing them to break from his control faster.

- It takes multiple times or a maintained contact for Arnaud to push people to do what he wants. At first, he will only be more trustworthy to them, unless they are already somewhat attrated to him, then it will go faster and make them more susceptible to his suggestions. The longer he uses his power, the strong the level of trust/adoration the person has for him will be, making them more likely to perform whatver he wants of them.

- It is easier to work if he merely suggests something to do than make it very clear, at least at first. While this makes it impossible to control what they would do if he merely suggests it, it does make them more likely to do it then by directly telling them what to do.

- The pheromones have a lasting effect of about ten minutes after he stopped touching someone. The exact time depends on the person and how mentally strong they are. When they are spread in the air, the effect is not only a lot less powerful, but it vanishes almost as soon as they get away from them. It's like having a vague impression that there had been something to see but you missed it. People will remember what they have done when under Arnaud's 'control', but it will be like the stupid things you can do for someone you like, they just might wonder how someone like him could have affected them so. Since people cannot grow accustomed, to them Arnaud simply has some sort of strange charm to him. They can, however, resist him if they know who he is and has enough will-power.

- While Arnaud may suggest certain things to people, he cannot control their reaction to his pheromones. People are affected in different ways and will perform different actions depending on their personalities. If Arnaud says that someone had been cruel to him to someone under his 'control' for example, one might comfort him while another may go after that person. No matter how much he tries, Arnaud will not be able to make a quiet person violent if they don't have it in them.

- Affects only human beings.

- While his pheromones can eventually lead to romantic/physical emotions towards him, he cannot induce that on people who wouldn't naturally be drawn to him in the first place.

- His mother was a firm but lacking teacher. As a result, Arnaud is able to control his power most of the time but cannot stop it from turning in effect whenever he feels strong emotions. This can be either when he loves/is attracted to someone and wants to get their attention or when he is terrified by someone and wants them to become less of a threat towards him

- Is not immune to any form of pheromone manipulation/mind control.

SIDE-EFFECTS
- Mental fatigue when using his power repeatedly. As it is asking more from his brain, this can leave him with chronic fatigue and a weakened edurance which can lead to an increase in illnesses such as colds.

- He can also have some chemical imbalance when using his power often as his body works more on the pheromones than the rest. This can lead in loss of appetite, apathy or even mood swings.

- As he has no control on people’s reaction to those pheromones, he often has to deal with excessive reactions from them.

- Because of the stacking effect it can have on people, Arnaud has trouble having deep bonds with people and long-term relationships.

- Arnaud is naturally suspicious of any feelings of love from people as it could be coming from him.

Strengths: Leadership: he can take things in charge, in fact, he will likely appoint himself leader if no one spoke before he did. He will come up with ideas and move people around those, expecting them to follow. He is able to listen when people talk and to delegate but he is usually in charge, not the other way around.
Banter: he is very good at flirting, even when he is not flirting. He likes bantering or having any sassy conversation with someone who can talk back, as long as it doesn't get too personal or insulting. He uses this skill to sometimes get what he wants.
Quick Thinker: When facing a problem, he's quick to finding a way around it or what to do next. He normally then rushes straight ahead, waiting for people to follow him. If there is nothing else to do, then he'll just move on to something else with the same speed. 
Weaknesses: Secretive: he doesn't like to talk about the more personal aspects of his life, especially his past and the struggles he went through. It takes a lot of time for him to warm up and share it with people. Even when that could serve him to share it with others to put thing sin perspective or help them feel less alone, he would rather find other ways to do that then to share very personal things about himself. But don't hesitate in asking him what his favorite type of cake is though.
Nosy: when he feels something is strange or doesn't add up, he will keep inquiring about it and investigate until he finds out the truth. He hates when he has the feeling that people are keeping things from him and will do everything to find out about it, regardless of what the others may say to stop him.
His past: he feels great shame in his past and still struggles with it. While he has accepted to be homosexual and no longer sees it as a bad thing to be with men, remnants of the days where he was told this was sick and deviant remains and it could make him ashamed of himself and of the time when he believed that. He is also quite scared of facing his family and the people he knew from back then, or from when he first moved to the city.
Drugs: When he first arrived to the city, he tried everything: men, clubs, alcohol and drugs. While he is now clean and no longer behaves in such dangerous manner, it is still a day-to-day struggle, one that is sometimes tempting to fall back into.
Tardy: he has a rather narrow way of thinking where anything that does not fit into his line of interest will simply be dismissed by him. This made him arrive late a lot, as though as he no way of keeping track of the time.
Habits: Activism: ever since he cleaned up his act, he has made himself involved in LGBT and human rights movements and is very devoted to them.
Sleeping: when he is not studying or trying to change the world, the only thing he really seems to enjoy doing is sleeping in. 
Secrets: -

Face: hazel eyes. dark brown hair. He struggles a lot with his hair. When they are too short, he feels like his face makes him like a chubby baby. He then keeps his hair grow but as soon as they go down his neck, it annoys him and he cuts them. Diamond shaped face. Large lips he's particularly proud of, so go ahead and praise him for it. facial hair growing too fast for hi taste
Body: 5'11'' (181 cm), average build, bony shoulders, scars on his right wrist he keeps hidden under a large bracelet or a small scarf and some on his back, don't ask.
Looks/Style: rather stylish, even when wearing a simple tank top and shorts. not scared to show skin. prefers jeans to clean pants but does wear some fancy shoes. likes stripes on his shirts or keep them plain but likes floral patterns in vest or shirts with a plain jacket, or a simple t-shirt under one. he always wear something around his right wrist to hide the scar there.

Home: where do you spend your summers?
History: Something that he would not open up easily is this: he grew up in a cult. At first, it was kind of heaven. There were other kids, they live as a community, everyone helping each other and he was too young to really get the intrigue going on with the adults. Even as he grew, he was not aware of any, simply doing like everyone else in their community and being content of his life. He didn't grow in the kind of cult where kids get married to grown ups. Or if that happened, no one touched the boys. It was not a surprise, since they had a clear disdain for same-sex relationship. More than a disdain even, a hatred hidden behind a mask of righteousness as they try to cure you from it. When he started feeling things for boys, having lived with that kind of mentality all of his life, he talked of it to get helped. It was how he signed himself to a conversion therapy. It was tough, especially on his psyche as he only grew to be more ashamed of himself. Then there were physical punishment to try to get it out of him. He felt like they burned his skin, telling him he would be reborn. He grew to really hate himself. Slowly though, he also grew to believe maybe he was not the one wrong, maybe they were. The therapy was clearly not working anyway. But he knew how everyone would have reacted had he talked his mind; it would only get worse. So he ran.

Through walking, hitch-hiking and whatever bus he could afford, he made his way to London. And what a change it was for him! The lights, the sound, the different kinds of people. There was action at all time of the day and night and he wanted to try it all. Starting with men. He was still not fully comfortable with his orientation but he also never really had the chance to even flirt before. He wanted to do that, especially as he realised people did that openly here and were not judged about it, at least depending where you went. He flirted and got himself a string of lovers, he wanted to try and see what he liked most and who he preferred. This also took him to clubs, another very intoxicating thing to a young man who had lived a sheltered life. With clubs came alcohol and drugs. Much like men, he fell into it head first.

This kind of lifestyle was pretty hard to maintain. Partying all night, he found it very hard to wake up in the morning. He was squatting newly friend's places and hopping from job to job since he was often fired for being late or not in any condition to work. He didn't care at the time though, all he cared about was having a good time and catch up on what he had missed all of his life. People were interested in him, for a time. Then they started getting annoyed. Ex-lovers not liking to have him ditch them without a warning, friends tired of letting him stay at their place and not getting paid for it or clean up behind him or that he couldn't keep a job and just wanted to party. Then there were the debts that slowly came piling up. Before he realised it, the void inside of him he tried to numb himself from became all he had. He started to understand how he was just trying to lose his mind with all of this, how he had no roots, no anchor point anywhere, no true friends, no one to help him. The fun he felt while drinking or taking drugs was now gone and if he took it, it was for the real reason he did that in the beginning: run away from his past life. But he was no longer able to, even under the influence, he felt it creeping up the back of his mind. Desperate, depressed, abandoned, he didn't know what to do. Going back home was even more out of the question after everything he did here, and as he thought of that, the shame and disgust he felt back then for himself returned. He tried to kill himself that day. He cut his wrist open and just waited to die. When he woke up, he was in a hospital bed and was tied for they feared for his life. Someone came and explained everything to him. A friend caught up, called an ambulance, saved him in time. They wanted him to talk to someone, someone as young as he was should not feel that much distress. He was reluctant at first, certain it would be just like before, back in the cult. But he slowly opened up and once he did, he couldn't stop. He let it all out, his childhood, his shame, the conversion therapy, his escape and his arrival in the city and what he had done since then. He did him good, but when he was suggested to talk as much during AA meetings, he was not as interested. He went, but he was guarded a lot. He shared only a fraction of what he said in therapy. He didn't want to talk of his former community so he never did. 

He had a few missteps over time, falling back or almost doing so. He went to meetings.

PERSONALITY

Personality goes here. 150 words minimum.

BIOGRAPHY

Huang Si Chen is born from a Chinese father and a Japanese mother. For a good part of his childhood, he went between China and Japan. As soon as it was possible, he studied at Miyazaki Academy of the Arts in acting. Once done however, he moved back to China where he started to work. He got lucky early on, working in a popular romcom style of movie and then a period show. As it is the custom in China, there are dubbers for the actors but he did that himself. He also started singing, having a duet for the period/surpernatural drama. This eventually landed him a role on another period show for a popular streaming service as well as various spots on reality shows. 

OR

Huang Si Chen is born from a Chinese father and a Japanese mother. His father's family owns a cosmetics company that existed for centuries, using as a selling point how they used to make rouge for nobles and emperors before making it for the grand public since the 1920's. They did stay mostly in China though, as the market was big enough to suffice them. But, as he married a Japanese woman, Si Chen's father also had a mind to hit the Japanese market. It was why he sent his eldest son to Japan during high school, so he could both learn Japanese, the culture there, and gain a foothold in the country so he could run it there at some point. Si Chen chose to study science, so he could understand how the various creams, makeup and fragrance were made.

FUKUDA MOMOKO

FEMALE - FOURTEEN - HETEROSEXUAL - YEAR THREE OURAN ACADEMY MIDDLE SCHOOL (CLASS A)

PERSONALITY

Momoko has a soft nature. She's the person who will try to harmonize everything and everyone around her, curving the edges and calming strong emotions. She wants those around her to be happy or at least content, and will seek that above her own happiness. She avoids speaking too loudly and sharing too opinions that may come out as too strong. As such, she's the person you might hear the least in a group while trying to listen to everyone and work with people. She tries to show empathy but more than that, understanding to other people's joys and pains. She is not a contrarian, making her sometimes do things she might not have wished to do because she didn't want to oppose too strongly against it. She'll also withdraw herself if she feels her presence annoys others.

She is a very sensitive person. While she will try not to show it, she is shocked when hearing she annoyed someone and will be deeply hurt by it. When someone around her is in pain, she will blame herself for not being able to help them. Extremes in emotions tend to scare her so she tries to avoid them, including very positive ones. She jumps at loud noises and screams but isn't sure if ghosts or scary stories really scare her. She is a daddy's little princess but never thought that she was a spoiled child. Or maybe she is spoiled, but she isn't bratty about it. She is just used to her father pampering her while also worrying too much for her.

She isn't very strong physically. She also has a weak constitution, like her mother. She will catch any virus in the air so she always takes care of her health. She doesn't have a strong grip and can easily be overpowered. She loves drawing, reading and embroidery, all calming activities. She loves the autumn weather even if she can catch colds easily. She just loves the change of colors on the leaves and wearing those soft and warm fabrics. Also, being born in autumn, it reminds her of those birthdays she had as a kid with her parents and the rare occasions in her youth when she could be outside.

She has tried lately to take her place. It has yet worked, but she doesn't want people to think she is a pathetic doormat, nor does she want them to think she is a snob. She is still trying to find a balance while dealing with being a teenager.

BIOGRAPHY

Momoko had no idea how different her family was at first. She knew they were unusual. She spent the first five years of her life leaving in a wing of her grandparents' estate with her mother and no visits allowed other than Uncle Jiro and her father Ichiro. It was only around the age to go to school that her family moved to a house of their own, along with Nanny Tomoyo. The next year, she had a little brother, Ryuta. And she met with her Aunt Hanami. And then she could go to school and play with other kids. She was a very happy child but was surprised at people reaction about her parents. They were young, too young. To her they weren't, since they had her. As she grew older, she understood. By their age, it became clear they had her when still in high school. The other kids' attitude calmed her enthusiasm a bit, but she was still a happy kid who wanted to be around others. This allowed her to make friends fast but also got some kids claiming she was a snob who loved playing the weak damsel to be noticed by others. This was another blow to her ego that made her into who she is now, trying to be agreeable to everyone without expressing herself too much.

Her father has always treated her like his little princess. She was used to him visiting her and her mother and bringing her sweets or toys every time. When they started living together, they would do activities as a family and he would worry if she walked too far ahead of them or when she injured herself. He would always remind her to wear scarves and hats in the cold season. She knows she has a weaker constitution, like her mother, but never got as sick as the woman. Sakura, probably because she knew what that was like, always offered her daughter more freedom. She is very close of her mother, still speaking a lot with her and sharing her thoughts and feelings with her.

She never questioned going to Ouran Academy, as it had always been decided for her. She knows who her family is. She was made aware that she was connected to the Emperor from her mother's side. Both got into politics with her grandfather on her father's side making the jump. She also has a lot of money from this side as they have always been business entrepreneurs, a role her father now has. She has no idea what she would do in the future but both her parents assured she could be whatever she wanted. They also did not find her a fiancé, like it had been the case for them since their childhood, letting her meet with kids and seeing for herself who she may end up liking.

YAMAGUCHI TAIKI

MALE - SIXTEEN - HETEROSEXUAL - YEAR TWO OURAN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL (CLASS A)

PERSONALITY

With a father who was always a smooth-talker, a popular man who garnered all the attention and a mother who was never afraid to stand up for what she believed and speak up her mind, Taiki felt he had big shoes to fill. Too big for him, in fact. He had never been very popular. He is also not very loud-spoken. And then there is his look. His parents are tall, strong-built and attractive. In comparison, he finds himself short, skinny, pale and maybe does he look more smug than he really is. he doesn't think he is ugly per se, but he finds his mouth and jowl to be too apparent to look as gentle as he really is, his smile looks somewhat arrogant unlike his personality, and he never took on much weight, let alone muscle. He isn't a flashy person either. He is more into books. As for sports, he would prefer cycling or swimming to team sports or martial arts. He is also very agile.

He is observant. he pays attention to things around him before interacting with them. Same for people. As a result, he may get how you feel or what you think better than he appears to. This would allow him to say the things he'd need to to be popular, if he wanted to. But he doesn't. He is content not having a ton of people around him. He isn't a loner, but he prefers a small group to a whole crowd.

Taiki is quiet and will do what you tell him to without complain. He might even do it before you ask. He doesn't whine when having to do chores or a lot of work and studies. He isn't easily intimidated despite his tiny stature. He talks little of himself, his past and the like. He doesn't mind saying what his favourite food it but will not give details about his family. If you were to ask what his house was like, he would say normal and end the conversation there. he has a good sense of humour but it can sometimes be a bit dark, which doesn't help his image of a moody kid. That, with the fact he doesn't talk much and turns his back on people when they are trying to taunt him, along with his overall look and love for the color black, caused people to think he was more of a brooding type than he really is. In fact, he is a nerd. he could speak endlessly about topics he likes, once he warmed up to you. But it takes time and during that time, he would be very quiet and polite. Luckily, if people are quick to judge him, he doesn't judge them. He knows people are moer than what they look like. You can ask his uncle Kyousuke about it.

BIOGRAPHY

Taiki had a unique childhood. Being the result of a one-night stand between his parents, he lived first with his mother alone and was then called Watanabe Taiki. His mother was cut by her own family and had to raise him while trying to study and work at the same time. He was one when his father's family found out and helped her out. And not too long afterwards, his parents reunited as business partners, opening up a bakery together. He then moved from the small apartment he lived in with his mother to a house his father bought but did not live in, all because it was closer to the bakery so she could more easily come to work. back then, Taiki was closer to his uncle Kyousuke and barely ever interacted with his father, but the man eventually made the point clear, he was his father. And, for some reason, at one point, his parents started living together. Just like that, they went from barely tolerating each other to being a couple, to the young boy's eyes. Well, they were still fighting often, but they seemed to like it somehow. He was already at school, Ouran Academy, paid by his grandparents, when his parents married. They did because his mother was pregnant again, another boy they called Kazuya, or Kazu as he is more often called. it was weird. They had him before living together, before being married. But they eventually became all of these things.

Taiki has a weird relationship with his parents. He is a bit intimidated by his father. He is such a smooth talker, a popular man, a very active one too, all things he isn't too much. he tried, as Hideo often encouraged him to be, only to be told by Ryoko that he should be the opposite of that. He is closer to his mother, mainly because she raised him all by herself at first. And because she keeps saying he is fine as he is. But she is also a bit intimidating, as she is one who isn't afraid to speak her mind at any occasion. In the end, the person in his family he is closest to is his grandfather, who assures that he can be whatever he wants regardless of what his parents say, whether that means not being a sportsman, or not standing up against every injustice or not doing the same job they do. He still tries to stand up, at least for himself, but he isn't as loud-spoken, nor is he trying to be the center of attention.

Taiki is more interested by science than business or cooking like his parents. He also likes imagery and editing and is still juggling with either working in the film industry or doing something in the forensic science. To him, it is mostly a matter of whether what he likes more can also provide a good enough living. Still, he sometimes wonder if his parents wouldn't be disappointed in that. He already feels like he is maybe not what they had expected sometimes...

MARUYAMA RENA

PERSONALITY

Personality goes here. 150 words minimum.

BIOGRAPHY

Rena started her career very early. She started appearing on screen since the age of three, having a few roles in tv shows and movies. Later, at around six, she appeared in a kid's show as well as taking part of a kid's music band, with all girls ranging between 5 to 8 years old. The group lasted two years, since it was aimed at kids after all. Rena wanted to continue though, particularly in music. Her parents encouraged her. Her grandfather thought her the shamisen, as he is a teacher for that particular instrument. Later, she chose to learn guitar also. She worked mostly as an actress when she was recruited to audition for a new girl's band. She was about thirteen at the time. She passed and was willing to try and explore music genres different from what she did so far.

She hated the politics around it though. Some girls were always favoured over others and if they didn't like you, you had little to no chance to do anything at all. Then there were all of the people circling around, some of them rather creepy,, forcing them to look a certain and act a certain way, often far too suggestive to her style. While she was already known a bit compared to some of the other girls, she was not part of the favoured group.

She also auditioned for Miyazaki and when she got in, she thought it was the perfect opportunity to drop the band. It was at school that she made friends with another girl. She wanted to start her own band, ideally rock and it interested Rena. She is willing to just, and play guitar as well as sing if possible, but it is only adream for now.
