CIVILIAN TRAITS NAME: Thomas White AGE: 20 STUDYING: Advanced Mechanics PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Tall, 6'2, but will a slim, but not overly so, build. Despite this, his figure reeks power. His face is attractive but a sadistic smirk mars this, instead putting people on edge. His teeth are very white, in contrast to his eyes in which the iris' appear black. At points a shadow of stubble covers his face and his hair is stylishly gelled. The hair itself is dark, in contrast to his lighter skin. PERSONALITY: Thomas appears to be a psychopath. Any feelings of love, happiness, or affection he shows are merely a facade he uses to get what he wants. He is a man who works as a loner but he's always wanted to be different. Highly intelligent and calculating he plays life like a chessmaster, always one move ahead. Not violent though he finds other's pain amusing. Charming to such a degree he can convince everyone he's normal, if they don't outright love him. This is if he can be bothered though. However, perhaps beneath this there is more... BACKGROUND: An orphan from the day his parents were slaughtered in front of him, some of his early years were spent in pools of blood. Thrown between homes, he eventually broke away and was taken in by a rich family. Taught to charm and groomed because of his genius for mechanics, he surged his foster father's company forward with little inventions he would tinker away at in his room. His parents adore him and the gifted prodigy is the delight of the many parties he has attended. After all, his charming attitude and good looks work well with a tux. HERO/VILLAIN TRAITS (Only complete the following section if your character has an alternate superhero/supervillain identity. AND REMEMBER: You are not superhuman YET! An accident on campus will give all players their powers after the first week on campus) NAME: The Parasite. ALIGNMENT (OLYMPUS HERO, VIGILANTE OR SUPERVILLAIN): Supervillain POWERS (IF ANY): Physical and Mental Absorption - Thomas has the ability to absorb a person's mental and physical abilities. It must be carried out through physical touch, but when focusing, he can absorb a person's skills and talents (e.g, a writer's ability to write) and add it to his own arsenal. Thomas doesn't care about this though and focuses on taking the powers of the students hit by the blast. When using it a white/purple mist seems to be sucked for the host into his body. Skin to skin contact is harmless, unnoticeable and allows Thomas to use abilities for a few minutes, if he absorbs for ten seconds. Thirty seconds provides mild discomfort, but a few days of ability use. A minute is full absorption, pain for the person being absorbed and death. White also keeps their ability. Once he absorbs for a minute he knows as much about the ability as the original user did. Anytime absorption time less than this and he has to figure it out for himself. White can only hold onto seven abilities at a time. Once he absorbs a new power at this limit he must discard another one. He can choose which one to expel however. This limit will grow as he evolves. He evolves by fully absorbing a person, by killing them, as was the case with Pyrexia. HELD POWERS:Immunity (Morris Rider): this works as a barrier, repelling other powers effects on White's body. It does not work for, example, energy blasts. It is more about effects which manipulate his body, like mind reading, or trying to replicate his ability, or give him injuries. It can be broken down with enough force; then he is vulnerable until it regenerates. Intangibility (Grant Holmes): Thomas can cause his body to become intangible. He can phase through virtually anything. He cannot be grabbed, shot, touched or attacked whilst in this form. Then again, he can't attack anyone either. He can walk through walls with ease but the active use of this ability strains him. It is not passive and so his body is still vulnerable if caught unaware. Shapeshifting (Signe Vestergaard): He can alter his appearance just like Signe could; both in normal ways but also in more animalistic or fantastical creations. Birds, bears etc. as well as replicating Signe's ability to change the material of his skin, examples being granite. Due to full absorption he has as much control over it as Signe had; which was a decent degree. Temperature Manipulation (Patricia McBride): He can draw heat from the surrounding area or from objects and people, and store it within himself. He can then release that energy as a concentrated fireball or as an explosive heat wave.
Invulnerable to heat and burns and provided she has sufficient heat stored she can withstand extreme low temperatures as well. When she draws heat from her surroundings she can drop the temperature drastically, causing water to freeze. With people she can cause frostbite almost instantaneously. When expelling the built up energy, the size and number of fireballs and heat waves depends on what she has stored; cold environments are her enemy as she risks running on empty. Having too much stored up risks exhausting her as well as it requires fuel to maintain. Flight (Patricia McBride): Normal self propelled flight of average speeds, over a 100mph. Does not have superstrength and so would struggle to carry a person etc. while flying. PHYSICAL/COSTUME DESCRIPTION: Normal clothes; a black coat and jeans, all expensive and a hoodie to hide his face when he's out hunting. EQUIPMENT/WEAPONS: None, only an old pocket watch his step father gave him which he uses to keep the time when he's tracking a target. SKILLS/STRENGTHS: His growing capacity for abilities, and the full power he can get out of them once he has them. His power can also allow him to be a master in almost any area he wishes, as long as he finds a target with the right skills. WEAKNESSES: When absorbing someone, they die. He takes their entire being, largely because he wants to. Furthermore, Thomas is useless without having someone to steal from and even then he has to hope they have something he wants. When absorbing he can be overpowered, though the process causes great pain. He may retain a trace of their ability if he has held on long enough which can be nurtured to full strength. If he wants the full ability he must kill his subject; if he lets them live them he only has a weaker form of the ability, though this can be improved upon with practice. By taking on people's abilities he also gains a part of their personality; because of this the voices are driving him mad. Schizophrenic. MOTIVATION AND EXTRA INFO: He wants to be the best and this means killing everyone who stands in his way. Consumed with finding more powerful abilities so he can be the greatest of them all.

CIVILIAN TRAITS
NAME: Zacharias Walford AGE: 22 STUDYING: Theology PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Zach stands at 6’2, medium build, not particularly muscular but muscular enough to make most back down from a fight. Blonde hair, orangey-brown eyes. PERSONALITY: Zach is always smiling; he has a dark sense of humour that people tend to get offended by a lot. He is confident, loud and believes he is always right. He enjoys making new friends, but they tend to distance themselves from him very quickly. Due to this, he is constantly meeting new people he wants to torment. Minorly a kleptomaniac. BACKGROUND: Zacharias was raised in a strict catholic household. This conflicted with his natural rogue personality. As a child, he often; stole, fought, groped, destroyed and blasphemed. The punishment was often the belt and isolation. A lot of his outbursts happened because he had an older brother who was the perfect heir and a younger sister who was an angel. He was the overlooked middle child that his parents grew to despise. The last straw for his parents was when they caught him at the age of eleven whipping his naked eight-year-old sister with his father’s belt for being a ‘bad girl’ and not ‘being a doggy’. This was not the first time he had done something so disturbing (another example would be putting the family bunny rabbit into a shoebox and then sitting on it.). While any normal parents would have immediately sought out psychiatric help, they decided to send him to a catholic boarding school. Zacharias never talked about what happened there, but he came back less abusive and over all less psychotic; on the surface, at least. He suppressed himself so he could just about fit into society. It took a lot to convince his parents to let him go to university, but he craved the freedom to be himself. HERO/VILLAIN TRAITS
(Only complete the following section if your character has an alternate superhero/supervillain identity. AND REMEMBER: You are not superhuman YET! An accident on campus will give all players their powers after the first week on campus) NAME: Crimson Sin ALIGNMENT (OLYMPUS HERO, VIGILANTE OR SUPERVILLAIN): Supervillain POWERS (IF ANY): Hematomancy (Blood magic.) Zach can manipulate blood. From a distance, he can draw blood out of wounds rapidly, heat it up in the veins and bend blood outside of the body into shapes and direct it. Upon touch, Zach has a lot more manipulation. He can force people to move in certain ways providing he remains connected to them. He can force blood out of orifices, cause internal bleeding, and burst their veins open. If the target is no bigger than the average toddler, he can cause them to burst after a concentrated touch. His powers can also be used for good- he can stop people from bleeding out, stop internal bleeding and get rid of unhelpful blood clots. He cannot however, manipulate the substances in blood; so he cannot affect blood sugar, oxygen or alcohol level etc. PHYSICAL/COSTUME DESCRIPTION: See picture. EQUIPMENT/WEAPONS: He has a dagger in his boot and in a sheath attached to his belt. Also carries around plasters with dinosaurs on them. Lock picks and other useful tools to subtly break into the standard house. SKILLS/STRENGTHS: Zach is a good painter. He is good at sneaking in places and getting out. His minor kleptomania has forced him to improve his stealth over the years, to the point where he even taught himself to pick locks just in case he needed to. WEAKNESSES: Zach doesn’t really know what he wants from life. He craves the attention he has never had and never will have because of how screwed up he behaves. Zach doesn’t have a direction he wants to go in either, he just wants to do what he wants without being beaten or punished for it. MOTIVATION AND EXTRA INFO: Zach has been an odd one since the early days of his childhood. Now he has grown up to despise many things; religion being one of them. However, he is torn between wanting to be accepted and wanting to do whatever the heck he wants. Zach has found that with a hidden persona and his new powers, he can perhaps both find friends in daylight and get his sadistic pleasures out while hiding behind a mask by moonlight. He almost feels like his powers are a gift from the twisted God he hates.

AGE: 20
STUDYING: Biology
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Dark hair, short but trying to grow it out. She has dyed it pale blue. Blue eyes. About 6'2" tall. Lanky with not much body shape. Wears a lot of stereotypically feminine clothing because people keep mistaking her for a man.

When she was 17 she came out as trans to her family and friends and with their support has lived her life happily. Her twin brother, Michael (younger by four minutes), also attends the university but he is studying architecture and they are both in their third year. They are actually the best of friends and genetically identical (a fact not many people know). Only Lois was granted powers when the Centre went critical as Michael was off Campus seeing a film in the city of London at the time. Lois often wonders how her brother's powers would have manifested but for now... She has her own to explore.

WEAKNESSES: Curiosity. Lois cannot leave things alone and therefore has been known to annoy classmates and her brother as well as getting herself into trouble. Also her ability iis noticeably slow and takes at least ten secpnds of physical contact to knock somebody out. Otherwise they end up just tired or woozy.
MOTIVATION AND EXTRA INFO: Lullaby is motivated by curiosity. She is only beginning to explore the scope of her powers and could be quite dangerous.

CIVILIAN TRAITSNAME: Silvia Hartwell AGE: 20 STUDYING: Chemistry PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 5’5”, slight curves, slightly toned but not too much. Light blue-grey eyes, dark brown hair with a blue streak in it. Chapped hands. Wears a special bracelet from her little brother. PERSONALITY: Bubbly, optimistic, friendly, jokey, bit flirty and likes a good innuendo. Aside from that, she values her alone time, normally playing video games or going on long walks (the further away from civilization, the better.) Both and indoorsy and outdoorsy kind of person. BACKGROUND: Silvia was the eldest child of three. She took her role as big sister very seriously. Her little sister is Amelia and her little brother was Joseph. At the age of 13, Silvia’s brother Joseph passed away. It was around this time that she distanced herself from her family and found peace in long walks away from the world. There was nothing that could be done to save Joseph, it was medical complications so it wasn’t like she had anywhere to direct her anger and frustrations. Silvia just had to accept that Joseph was gone and nothing could have been done. While she grew distant from the rest of her family, she grew closer than ever with Amelia. If she could have taken Amelia to university with her then she would have. After a few years, Silvia realised that life was too short to be miserable, sulky and to miss out on what the world had to offer. She opened up from her shell once more and decided she would do what she could to make the world a better place for others. Because of this, she has a strong sense of doing what she thinks is right, being helpful, kind and doing little gestures to try and be polite. HERO/VILLAIN TRAITS(Only complete the following section if your character has an alternate superhero/supervillain identity. AND REMEMBER: You are not superhuman YET! An accident on campus will give all players their powers after the first week on campus) NAME: Trickshot ALIGNMENT (OLYMPUS HERO, VIGILANTE OR SUPERVILLAIN): Olympus Hero POWERS (IF ANY): Heightened Clairvoyance. Heightened in the sense that she can map out the route of her arrows using the surroundings and energies in the air. Clairvoyance is the ability to gain information about an object, person, location or physical event through extrasensory perception. PHYSICAL/COSTUME DESCRIPTION: Dark clothes, earthy colours. Gloves, great boots, easy to move in trousers. A tie for her hair. Doesn’t feel the need to mask herself but will put on something to help her hide in places easier if she needs to. EQUIPMENT/WEAPONS: Bow and Arrow. Arrows being a mixture of types; some explode, some shoot electricity, some fire nets, some are trackers, some are disabling poisons etc. Would have to pick them out before a mission. Also has some average arrows. SKILLS/STRENGTHS: Can fire arrows with near perfect precision thanks to the clairvoyance. Is quick and light on her feet. Quiet, athletic, patient. WEAKNESSES: Can’t deal with close combat very well. Has a discomfort around mirrors. Not very good at dealing death and loss. (Especially if it’s about a child.) Can be a bit of a show off. Would get upset if anything happened to her special bracelet. MOTIVATION AND EXTRA INFO: Her brother’s death was what motivated her to be a better person. Her powers are something that would push her to join Olympus to try and be useful to others. She still wears the bracelet that her brother got her for her 13th birthday.

(OOC this is what my idea would have been in continuing on after the events of the Flynn's party. I know there're two characters here but the second one would've been used very sporadically with very little focus on them but at the same time, these characters would've gone hand in hand for obvious reasons. Either way, just in case anybody was interested, here's the rest of my idea, these bios also help to offer more insight into Chris, again, in case anybody was interested ) CIVILIAN TRAITS NAME: Johnathan Savage (known as John) AGE: 24 STUDYING: N/A PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 6' short light brown hair that he gels up, hazel eyes, light stubble, lean but muscular build. There is a noticeable family resemblance to Chris as well as a noticeable resemblance between John and Ken. PERSONALITY: very open and friendly, casual even with serious stuff, extremely calm when under fire. BACKGROUND: The youngest older brother of Chris, John was the first to break the seemingly family tradition of becoming an alcoholic, a drug addict and a violent thug. The sights he saw as a young boy frightened him off from such pursuits and as such, he always watches the amount he drinks and stays well away from all drugs. It was a 9 year old John who accepted a then 4 year old Chris' request for him to take her along to his karate class. Chris requested this of John after he had stepped in when a six year old girl started to bully and beat-up Chris at school. John always made sure to keep an eye on Chris and was always there to support her and aid her in her training. They were sparring partners but even though she was his baby sister, he never let her win, she had to earn it but she never quite managed to best John. It was in the summer holidays as a 9 year old that John was taken away by Olympus in order for him to learn how to control his ability. John's powers first came out at an incredibly early age as he was only 8 years old. He was emitting harsh bursts of radiation whenever he got worked up or overemotional that he did not know how to control. Unfortunately, those who he accidentally infected with radiation poisoning would go on to develop cancer, including his mother. It was this that caused John to suddenly become a blip on Olympus' radar. His tutelage at Olympus was conducted by Voltage and Quickstep. Both newly parents themselves with a very young Herbert, Olympus believed them to be the best to handle a child, plus they were the ones who usually dealt with the new recruits. Also, the fact that they were husband and wife led Olympus to believe that they could create a harmonious family atmosphere around John to make the entire process more bearable for him. John learnt to control his powers and how to shut them off. Once he had learnt to shut them off, he never used his powers again. Olympus had designs for him to join them when he was old enough and even let him design his own super suit to encourage him. When he turned 18, Olympus re-approached John but he declined their offer, instead opting for the civilian life. He felt his powers were useless for being a hero and could only see the damage they could cause. Olympus accepted his decision as they did not have the authority to drag him off against his will but John has remained on Olympus' database for registered supers. John continued to live out his normal life, becoming the main financial supporter of his family with Chris chipping in when she was old enough. The two were very close and practically inseparable, it saddened him greatly when she left for university. John blames all of the families' problems on his dad as he is the only one who still remembers who his dad used to be. John kept his and his fathers abilities hidden from Chris as he didn't want her to be caught up in more of a mess than she already was given her poor upbringing. HERO/VILLAIN TRAITS NAME: Fallout ALIGNMENT (OLYMPUS HERO, VIGILANTE OR SUPERVILLAIN): Olympus/Vigilante (he is a member of Olympus, but does not play by their rules) POWERS (IF ANY): Manipulation and generation of radiation PHYSICAL/COSTUME DESCRIPTION: Dark green jumpsuit with a bright yellow 'X' across the chest that has the nuclear symbol on it, black boots. EQUIPMENT/WEAPONS: N/A SKILLS/STRENGTHS: John is able to emit high levels of radiation and is practically a walking nuclear reactor. He can unleash waves of radiation from his hands, infecting those near him. He also has the ability to draw on external sources of radiation and absorb them, thus giving his ability to spread radiation a massive boost. He is also capable of taking out any radiation he has put in other people, curing them of their radiation poisoning. He naturally has immunity to radiation himself. John is also high skilled in martial arts. WEAKNESSES: John is still just a normal man in terms of physicality but his strength, speed, agility and reflexes are almost at the same level as a professional MMA fighter given his 18 years of martial art training. He can not create atomic explosions, only emit radiation. His powers are also negated somewhat by radiation suits. MOTIVATION AND EXTRA INFO: In the past, John was driven by his desire to not end up like his father. He wanted to become strong and independent and a strong figurehead that his whole family could lean on. He is particularly driven by his devotion to looking after Chris but after she is killed, he sets out looking for Chris' killer.

CIVILIAN TRAITS NAME: Kenneth Savage (known as Ken) AGE: 44 STUDYING: N/A PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 6' 1" very short blondy brown hair (same colour as Chris') dark brown eyes, full on beard, a huge scar down the right hand side of his face, lean and muscular build but a bit broader than John, strong resemblance to Chris despite his aged and hagged appearance PERSONALITY: formerly very friendly, outgoing and creative, a complete party animal, very cocky and confident, almost arrogant Now though he is very sombre and quiet, doesn't say much, prone to acts of violence and sudden bursts of rage, highly unpredictable behaviour, heavy drinker, smoker, a druggie BACKGROUND: At the tender age of 16, Ken and his 15 year old high school sweetheart, Jennifer, became parents (a boy, David). This was during a very trying time for him as he was just discovering his powers and of course, he was worrying about what he'd do with his future. For a while he just entered the world of work but two years later when their second child was born (Martin), Ken decided to join Olympus. He was instantly accepted and thoroughly enjoyed his work. He became popular and famous as his alter ego- Mr. A-Bomb, though he never revealed his true identity to the public. His costume was even more whacky and striking than his name. Life was good for the first few years he spent at Olympus, he and Jennifer finally got married and even had a third child, John, during that time. However, the good times soon faded as Ken became more fixated on being famous than doing his job and as the new cultural revolution spread across Britain in the 90s, particularly in Manchester, Ken became more and more caught up in it, his wife too. From there it was a none stop downward spiral as he and Jennifer became alcoholics and heavy substance abusers. David and Martin also began to follow in their parents footsteps. Before too long, Olympus had to let Ken go. The more drunk and/or high he got, the less able he was to use his ability, he was never able to focus or concentrate so it was as if he didn't have an ability at all. He was a disgrace and an embarrassment and Olympus wanted nothing more than to sweep Mr. A-Bomb under the rug. His antics had also led to a sharp decrease in his popularity with the public. Only Olympus' veterans would remember Mr. A-Bomb. Ken was now out of work and with poor academic grades, he had nothing to fall back on. The families' situation was not helped by the arrival of Chris a year later. They struggled to get by on the benefits they were receiving, especially when they spent it all on drugs and alcohol. Ken also dealt drugs to earn some extra money but again, that was all spent to satisfy his addictions. Due to his habits, Ken spent the next 19 years in and out of prison and once he was sentenced because he nearly killed a man in a fit of anger after they couldn't come to agreement about a drug deal. For the most part, when he was out of prison, Ken was perpetually drunk, high or both but when he was in prison, Ken spent his time sobering up as well as going to the prison gym quite regularly. Ken had nothing to do with Olympus stepping in and helping John as he was in prison at the time. He was later informed by Olympus of John's ability but he paid it little to no notice. By that time he had ceased to be a parent and had nothing to do with any of his children by that point. In truth, Chris never knew her father, he may have well not been there at all, it would have made no difference. HERO/VILLAIN TRAITS NAME: Mr. A-Bomb ALIGNMENT (OLYMPUS HERO, VIGILANTE OR SUPERVILLAIN): Olympus/Vigilante (he is a member of Olympus, but does not play by their rules) POWERS (IF ANY): Able to create small atomic explosions PHYSICAL/COSTUME DESCRIPTION: As seen below. The symbol has the mushroom cloud coloured black to actually symbolise the whole 'nuclear bombs are bad' message, slightly ironic given his power and super hero name but having grown up during the latter stages of the cold war, Ken dislikes what nuclear warheads stand for and actually saw himself as the new deterrent to nuclear war. Ken kept his costume when he was fired from Olympus but he did nothing more with it than throw it in the loft where its bright and vibrant colours have since faded. EQUIPMENT/WEAPONS: N/A SKILLS/STRENGTHS: Ken can create a similar destructive power of an a-bomb in his hands and use them as projectiles. The blasts are quite small, no more powerful than a hand grenade but if someone were to take a direct hit, they would be killed. The blasts also give off low levels of radiation but nothing too serious or fatal. Ken also has a high level of immunity to radiation but not as high as John's. At his peak, Ken did have the potential to create explosions as big as an actual a-bomb but that has been long since lost as his power has reverted rather than progressed. WEAKNESSES: He had average human physicality when he was younger though that has now deteriorated, somewhat due to time but mainly because of the constant self-abuse of his body. He may have retained his strength but his speed, agility and especially reflexes are seriously lacking. He can not use his powers if he is intoxicated by any substance such as drink and drugs, so if he's drunk or high, he's more or less a normal man. MOTIVATION AND EXTRA INFO: Chris' death comes as a massive wake-up call for Ken and so he hopes to restart his life and try to right his wrongs. His first step: looking for Chris' killer as a way of redeeming himself for never being there for her.
