So I got a lot of character ideas. Most have a power of sorts because of reasons. I like superpowered characters. It's what I thrive in
If you want to use any of these, feel free to ask me. I do want credit where credit is due and if I say no, I hope you respect my decision. If I'm not using the character I'll likely say yes though - i am always sad to write out a character, even if it's necessary and I don't really reuse my own characters.

And yes, some of these are blank as of yet. At some point I had ideas for them. I may still have them.
Tritones are sea-creatures, considered the sons and daughters of Triton, grandchildren of Poseidon. Their upper body is that of a human, while their lower body is that of a fish. They can become human, and walk on land, but most only do so to reproduce. Tritones are born humans and come into their powers around a year old.
History: Born on land, she lived in the pacific ocean till she was thirteen. Then she moved to land, wanting to know more about humans. While in fish-form she is blonde,

Character name: Vanessa Campbell Nickname: Nessa or Ness by friends, Nessie by Jack Sex: Female Age: 33 Birthdate: March 23rd Country of origin: Britain Appearance:
Spoiler: image
Ability: Invisibility Limit of ability: It wears her down over time, works only on one other and that is a bigger strain. Months/years in Thyrsus: 7 Rank/seniority: Commander Weapon(s) of choice: She is proficient with a range of firearms but prefers daggers and knives General history: Secret for now.
She is a closed, private person even if she's polite and nice enough. She tries to deal with issues in the best way possible and as impartial as she's capable (which sometimes means she had to turn things over).
Vanessa doesn't think she has many friends in Thyrsus but does live on base.
Spoiler: Jackson Daniels | Empath
Character name Jackson Daniels Nickname: Jack Sex: Male Age: 26 Birthdate: December 20th Country of origin: Germany Appearance: Jack stands 6’ 2” feet or 1.87 m tall, with long, layered, wavy raven black hair and dark brown eyes. Years of training makes it that he is also muscular but not bulky. Jack has a triangular jawline and gets little laughlines around his mouth when he smiles. He tends to wear blouses and slacks but whatever the assignment requires when he’s on an assignment. Ability: Empathy Limit of ability: Jack feels everything around him, so it’s harder for him to be in groups or large crowds. His ability can be crippling if he gets too much input from other people.
This means that using weapons on others is also hard for him if he's too close, as he has no armor against their pain and suffering. Months/years in Thyrsus: 6 years Weapon(s) of choice: Items that don't attract a lot of attention but with which he can keep his distance. Guns with silencers, sniper rifles.
He's also learning to use bow and arrow, just for the fun and change of it. General history:
Spoiler: history
Jack was born in Australia but moved with his family to Germany at the age of 6. He was raised speaking both English and German. He is part of a twins, and has three sisters and one brother. He was born a few minutes after his oldest sister and three years before the other twin sisters. The youngest of them all was born seven years after Jack.
Jackson was the only child that started to walk down a rather dangerous path, getting involved with the wrong people. He was straightened out before any real damage was done but it’s not something he likes to talk about.
The man never went to college before Thyrsus but got his psychology degree after getting his power and learning to deal with it – so when he was already in Thrysus.
When he was given his power to feel what others felt it took him a while to deal with this and went over his limits more than once. He lost his sanity for a while because of this, which is how and why the people from Thyrsus found him in the first place.
He was hospitalized as a John Doe. Jack was found on the streets without any ID and it seemed the damage to his memory was already done.
It took a good while before they found out who he was. This happened through a missing person’s report filed by his family. This helped him a little to get his memories back. It was a long and slow process until the people from Thrysus came along.
The moment he was offered a place in Thyrsus, he took this opportunity gladly. The man had to work hard to get his power under control. Jack finished his training in about a year and two months, most of which was because Jack had to learn to control and channel what he was feeling.
He tends to meditate on a regular basis to give everything a place and ‘empty himself out’ for a little bit.
Overall the man is calm and collected and understands how people feel better (if not best) than most.
He lives on base but got a little spot at the far end of that area so that he does not have to deal with emotions and feelings from others around the clock.
He speaks to his family from time to time but keeps what he does a bit vague. He focuses on the fact he has a degree in psychology and that he cannot discuss patients with other people. For as long as they buy this (and they have no reason not to at this point) it’s all fine.
Jackson claims he works a lot, which by itself isn’t a lie either.
He hates lying to those he cares about but knows it’s for the best, as the UN is on their case to keep the mutants under wraps, though he wonders how long they can keep that up.

Spoiler: Douglas Sullivan | Clairvoyance
Character name: Douglas Sullivan Nickname: Sully Alias: Sex: Male Age: 42 Birthdate: Country of origin: Ireland Appearance: Sully is a lanky man with half long, wavy, graying hair. Ability: Clairvoyance through the eyes Limit of ability: Sully needs his utmost concentration for this. The slightest disturbance can break his power. Months/years in Thyrsus: Weapon(s) of choice: sniper-rifles General history: in Thyrsus until the age of 29, when he lost his children. When Sully was working with Thyrsus he was put on an undercover mission. It was one of the few
When he was 32 he took Robin from his home as a part of his plan to make everybody suffer.
Spoiler: Robin Sullivan | Explosive Energy
Character name: Robin Sullivan (Robin Campbell) Nickname: None Sex: Male Age: 20 Birthdate: Country of origin: Britain Appearance: Robin shares the same brown curls and eyes with his mother and it tall and well built. Years of training make him muscular. The young man has a heavy brow and strong jaw Ability: None Weapon(s) of choice: General history:
Spoiler: history
Robin was born as part of a twin to Vanessa Campbell. Until the age of 10, he lived happily with his sister Rosalie and mother Vanessa. Robin learned to ride horses from a young age, as he was taught at the inn he grew up
When he was 10, Sully took him from his home and brought Robin to his own house. From then on, Robin learned his weapons and languages. He speaks English, Spanish, Arabic and German fluently and Russian and Japanese with a little effort. Robin has also learned to read lips over the years and is currently busy learning French.
As for weapons, he was trained relentlessly and can identify most guns, pistols and rifles. He prefers to keep his distance when on a job and thus prefers sniper-rifles. Aside from his guns, Robin has been taught to use many objects into weapons, also ‘simple’ sticks and knives.
As part of his upbringing, he knows a lot about the human body and where to put a knife/dagger in somebody and what it will do; hurt, damage or kill.
Still, he doesn’t do anything because he likes doing it but rather because he thinks he must. Robin has been fed lies by Sully to turn him into the perfect asset before going up against Thyrus, and naturally, Vanessa.
Spoiler: Ashley | Hydrokinetic
Character's Full Name: Ashley Nickname: Ash Sex: Female Age: 25 Country of origin: United States, New York, New York City Family: Father, mother sister Extended family:
Father side: none
Mother side: aunt
Cousins: none Special Power/Ability: Hydrokinetic
AppearanceAsh stands 5’ 7” tall, with wavy, strawberry blond chair that falls to her waist. She usually wears it in a braid or ponytail to keep it out of her face. She has an hourglass figure and a diamond shaped face. Her eyes are a beautiful russet brown and almond shaped. Ash has thin lips and nose.
General history:
Spoiler: history
Ash was adopted after being left at a church by her parents. She was adopted by a couple of somewhat people that couldn't have children of their own. She was the 2nd child they adopted and has a sister. For as far as she's concerned, her adopted sister is her true sister.
Over the years Ash has shown that she is usually helpful and kind, but can be fierce when the ones she loves are threatened. She’s not really the forgiving type once somebody makes her mad and doesn't say sorry very easily. She pretends not to care about her birth-parents but deep down she is curious who they are and why they gave up on her.
Money doesn't matter much to Ashley but she can't deny that she likes having it either.
Ash dislikes being lied too and broccoli.
She likes to ride her horse Phoenix - a bay Tennessee Walking horse - as much as possible. Ashley likes to ride in the forests most of all so she finds it a shame she can't really do that in NY. However, you can find Ash in the woods/nature - horse or no horse - most of the time when they visit family in Texas.

Spoiler: Sakura Saito | Dreamwalker
Full name: Sakura Saito Nickname: None Age: 17 Sex: Female Country of origin: Japan Family: Father, mother, 1 sister, 3 brothers, grandparents Extended family:
Father side: 1 aunt, 2 uncles
Mother side: 4 uncles
Cousins: 2 girls, 6 boys
Spoiler: pic
History:
Spoiler: history
Sakura was born oldest to a Japanese business man but never really happy with her life. Her mother is mostly a trophy wife and it shows. Though Saura is certain her mother loves all of them, she never really raised her own children. Sakura (as well as her siblings) spent most of their time in the care of au pairs and nannies.
Of course they get to go to the best schools available and Sakura is glad for that. She just thinks that their money could be better spent, at least some of it.
Though she doesn't have too, she has a job at the supermarket and volunteers at the shelter.
She loves animals and wishes she would be allowed a pet. However, her father is strictly against pets. He does not want the mess they are sure to make in the house.
Sakura can play the harp and is well spoken in Japanese, English and Mandarin.
Her dream is to get into medical school and be a doctor, meaning she sure has a brain. Her father (and thereby, her mother) thinks it's silly for her to aim that big. Not as much because they have the money and she doesn't have to, as well as that he's still fairly traditional.
Sakura likes to play the harp, or being musical in general. Her weakness could be considered strawberry ice cream, something of which she cannot get enough. She doesn't care too much about fashion, but does make a slight effort to look good/stylish.
She dislikes being told what to do by her family (which means that she butts heads with her family on a regular basis). Injustice is also something she can't really stand and her mouth tends to run faster than her brain.
More often than not, she is told she needs to learn to behave accordingly to both Japanese culture as well as her father's status as a business man.
Her most valued possession is her diary, in which she writes daily. It contains pretty much every aspect of her life, her wishes, hopes dreams but also fears. Things that, in short, the young woman would never dare say out loud in most cases.

Spoiler: Senna Donovan | Shapeshifter
Character's name: Senna Donovan Nickname: None as of yet Sex: Female Age: 23 Appearance: Senna stands 5’ 6” tall tall, with short spiky brown hair that has dark red highlights in it around a round-ish face. Her eyes are big and brown with thick, long eyelashes. Her nose is small and her lips are thin.
Overall she opts to wear army pants and black tops and shirts. Ability: Animal shapeshifter Limit of ability: Senna cannot shift from animal to animal, she needs to shift to her human form first. General history/character:
Spoiler: history
Senna is the youngest five children – though she is part of a twin - and is the second daughter. Her twin brother beat her by a few minutes in being born. She’s smart enough to go through college but prefers her life at the zoo with the animals. Her parents made her go get a degree and pay for her studies. As long as Senna gets a degree in case she can no longer work at the zoo her parents leave her alone to live her life. Seeing that she’s smart enough to understand their logic, she keeps a part-time job at the zoo (for now) and studies veterinary science.
She doesn’t go out much and doesn’t date a whole lot, wanting to spend time with her animals instead.
Though Senna loves her family she doesn’t have a whole lot of contact with some of them. She calls her parents only once every few weeks. Her older sister and her oldest brothers are among her best friends and them she calls a few times a week.
For now she lives in a small apartment in the city of her college and work, sharing it with another girl to pay for the rent as Senna didn’t like the idea of a dorm or student house.
She took boxing lessons since she was 11 though never even thought about going professional.
Though she likes to take things easy, she is very reliable and smart. Senna prefers to be alone or in small groups, which is part of why she doesn’t go to parties much.
She wouldn’t be considered overly introverted though not extremely extroverted either. Senna will make small talk and possibly make friends if she wants to. Overall she is a calm person but can get pretty mad or wired up if it’s something she cares about. Animals and her friends are such examples. Nevertheless, Senna will try to make her case in a calm and reasonable manner. If she succeeds is another question entirely.
Spoiler: Benjamin |
Character's Full Name: Benjamin Nickname: Benji Sex: Male Age: 25 Birthdate September 27th Country of origin:
Family: None that he has contact with
AppearanceBenji stand 5' 11 tall (1.80m) tall with a powerful built from performing on stage for years. His hair is a tousled light brown with nearly the same shade of eyes. At first sight he tends to eye a bit intimidating.
General history:
Spoiler: history
Benjamin was orphaned at the age of 5 and a few months when his parents died in a car crash. Since then, until he was old enough to live alone he was in and out of the system. In his first foster family he was physically abused. When he was 9 the abuse came out and he was replaced. In the new foster family he was treated like an actual child, and signed Jacky up for actual classes.
Soon it became apparent that Benji was an exceptional student and they allowed him to thrive on the dance-floor.
When Benji was removed from that foster family, he never stopped dancing and following classes even though he started to move around from one place to another. However, break-dance was the one constant thing in his life, and probably the reason he stayed away from prison. To pay for classes, Benji went to the malls and on the streets as a street-performer.
It didn’t earn him a great deal but enough to keep him from doing illegal stuff.
That he didn’t really have a place to call home, or knew ‘real’ love, he makes it a habit to treat his girlfriends like princesses. Not necessarily by buying everything he can, but more by doing simple things such as holding the door open for her. Try and find gifts that are more personal or something she mentioned.

Her notebooks are also full of doodles and drawings. Isabelle can be regularly found near the Bari harbor, offering to draw caricatures of the tourists. It's a good way to make some money, practice her skills an do what she loves.
On the other hand, she doesn't math and economics. School in general is treated like a small disaster waiting to happen.

Spoiler: pic
History
Spoiler: history
Vladimir's family is part of the criminal underworld of Russia, making its history bloody and long. Because of this same history, Vlad is quite capable of defending himself with several types of guns but also daggers and hand to hand combat. Nevertheless, he has a body guard with him most of the time, something that is more his fathers idea than his own. Vladimir would be content to carry a weapon (or two) on him and rely on his own skills.
Vlad has a twin brother (identical twins) named Lyev (Lev) and a little sister named Alexandra. Their mother was Western European and their father Russian through and through. They never married, but their relationship was opposed by many people. Those same people soon discovered Vlad's mother could be a ruthless and dangerous as any of their own people, especially where it concerned her children.
The mother of three died of cancer after a relatively short time after diagnosis.
The man mostly sticks with the mobs because of the money and well, it's family. He could do without the illegal activities but doesn't really care enough to go against it either.
It's a 'it's just the way it is' kinda thing.
He speaks Russian and English fluently, and some Ukranian. He can understand and read it better than he can speak it.
Since he also has a brain the man decided to enroll in lawschool in his late teens.
With his mother's death Vladimir took some time of from that so he only graduated at the age of 25. Nevertheless, he now works for a firm and regularly assists his family with certain matters.
Vladimir usually breaks relationships off after a couple of months, not really daring to get too close to somebody. He is also a big fan of one night stands but will rarely share his bed, preferring they (or he) leave once done.
Nevertheless, he still respects women.

“One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”
― Henry Miller
"The success or failure of your deeds, does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed. Judge yourself by the intentions of your actions, and by the strength with which you faced the challenges that have stood in your way. The Universe is vast and we are so small. There is really only one thing we can ever truly control... whether we are good or evil."
- Oma Desala, SG-1
“If you make snap judgments about people and are unwilling to look into their past you’ll never begin to understand them.”
- Joan of Arcadia
"If you’re trying to get your worth from someone else, you can’t fulfill your own true nature, which is what I’m all about. Like and hate is a paradox. You’re a hero, and you’re not perfect. You were horrible to someone because you cared. Another paradox. If you accept that they both can exist simultaneously, then you can find peace in the contradictions, which is where you’ll find Me.”
