[PG-13] Trennan Academy for the Enhanced (OOC)
April 28th, 2021
Also known as the day the world changed. For years an underground organization was keeping secret the fact that hundreds - if not thousands - of people in the world had super abilities. However, on this day, Frozen Ace, a superhero, along with a handful of others, took down the organization and showed the world what was once unknown. Suddenly there were many people finding out about their powers, and there was a need for order. So the team of superheroes took initiative to take stop the people who wanted to use their newfound powers for harm, and helped the people who just wanted to have control of their abilities.
Nine years later Frozen Ace decided to found an Academy for Enhanced Humans(That is what the public began calling them) where people from all around the world could come to learn to control their powers. He also worked with world governments to get the Enhanced places to work to put their abilities to good use.
Things were going well with the Academy until Dark Abyss - Frozen Ace's nemesis - attacked the Academy, killing many of the heroes. In a heroic act, Frozen Ace sacrificed himself to defeat Dark Abyss. The battle was over, but at a great cost. The remaining heroes would have to fill positions in the Academy, but in the end everything would work out.
2052
Ten years after Dark Abyss attacked the Academy, a new school year is beginning, and it's bringing the biggest group of new students since it's founding...

Hello, and welcome to Trennan Academy for the Enhanced! The best RP you'll ever play with the word "Trennan" in it. In this RP you will play as a superhuman student at a superhuman academy. The bulk of the story will come from the player characters, but there will be a story that links everything together.
This RP is the spiritual successor of The Academy of Superheroes, my old RP that ran on for a few years. Several things will be different here, but there will be things I bring back. For example, the history for this RP is very similar to the old one, but there have been a few changes. However, the "gameplay" of this RP will be extremely similar to the the original RP, where you will have a lot of freedom to make your own road. But like I said before, there will be a "main story" of sorts that everyone would be pulled into. But ultimately it's up to you how your character interacts with the situations they are thrown into.
Spoiler: RULES
Rule 1: Be Respectful

Spoiler: Abigail Bartlett (InfraredHero)
Name: Abigail Bartlett
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Nationality: English
Appearance:
Spoiler: Abigail
Powers:
Lightning Generation/Manipulation:
Abigail can generate and manipulate Lightning at will. It doesn't physically affect her other than giving her a painful sting.
Alternate Form:
Abigail has an alternate form of pure lightning that she will enter under extreme anger. It is very destructive, and she has no control over herself. But she is extremely powerful, and it would take a lot to take her down in this form.
Abigail's power is weakened in cold temperatures, but in hot temperatures her power is more destructive.
Biography: Abigail spent most of her childhood in London with her single mother. Ever since she was very young her mother told her that her father was Frozen Ace, though Abigail never met him. Her powers first manefested during her later years in primary school, and while most other kids were okay with her, the louder ones called her a freak for being an Enhanced. One day at school a fight started, and Abigail nearly entered her Lightning Form, but several of the school staff members stopped the fight before anything really bad could happen.
After that, Abigail's mother took her and moved to the United States. In High School it was a bit easier for her since it seemed the people were a little more open to Enhanced there. She went through School without any incidents, and she was immediately enrolled at Trennan Academy for the Enhanced by her mother. Although she didn't have much of a choice, Abigail was excited to finally learn to have more control over her abilities.
Personality: Abigail is usually a pretty easygoing girl, but she can also be pretty hotheaded. It can be pretty hard for something to get under her skin, but when it does, it aint gonna be pretty.
Abigail is a socially anxious person. She is afraid of people judging her just for being an Enhanced. However, when she's in a group of people she believes to be her friends, she will find it easier to relax.

Spoiler: Octavia Vorhul (StarCatcher)
Name:
Octavia Vorhul
Gender:Female
Age:18
Nationality:Part Russian, Part Irish.
Appearance:
Spoiler: Octavia Vorhul
Regular Octavia
What a half body energy will look like but shorter and will have the outline of the hair. (Second stage)
What a full body energy will look like. (Third stage)
Powers:Spoiler: Cosmic Manipulation
Power Detail:
User can create, shape and manipulate cosmic energies to produce nearly any effect they desire, including the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter, the manipulation of matter across space and time, the creation of force fields, the creation of inter-dimensional portals and vortices, telekinesis, and cosmic awareness.
User can call upon the comets, meteors, asteroids, stars, moons, planets, nebula, quasars, and dark matter. They can generate stellar winds, solar flares, cosmic storms and invoke meteor showers. (she can also fly which is a small but notable thing.)
Specific Powers she can use from this:
Telekinesis (cannot lift anything bigger than a school bus for now, again she can push it but that will take up almost all her energy so she usually doesn't do it) , Inter dimensional portals (can only open up to 5 for now, she can try to push 6 but that will take up more than half of her energy), Astronomical Object Manipulation (if she uses this she will be rendered useless after it. cannot use it to her full potential)
Limitation: Her energy is very limited and she cannot control this power for a very long time. Although she is strong she cannot use the power after summoning things like meteors or asteroids (Small enough to not impact the Planet severely and only in a limited area) Many things are mention in here but she can only do a handful of them like telekinesis, inter-dimensional portals (where she can only use it for a small distance so she usually only uses this for combat), Astronomical object manipulation (like the meteors and asteroids summoning which takes immense to do which renders her useless after she casts it) Since she is not fully trained in this she cannot use it to its full potential.
When she uses her powers there is a gradual thing that happens where her eyes will first turn into the look of a galaxy, then her hair will turn into it and the last is a full body turn which is basically the peak of her power (which the last one lasts for about 5 to 10 minutes.) after this stage she will return to normal and lose energy and won't be able to get back into the fight until she recharges.
Biography:
Octavia was born in Omsk, Russia where she lived till she was 2 before moving to Dublin Ireland where she grew up. She lived with her mother and father who were both Enhanced but kept it a secret because where they lived people mocked them for being different. Growing up in small Dublin, Ireland was a rough thing as she did not have many friends and most of them lived miles away from her so she spent most afternoons in her backyard playing with her powers. Lifting things and throwing them around or summoning small versions of planets in the palm of her hand. She had kept this secret from her parents for quiet some while before they figure out she could control the cosmics. This frightened them because Octavia was prone to tantrums and lashing out as kids tended to be but when she did not get her way... well lets just say it's a good thing her father is great at fixing things.
Octavia's powers grew out of hand she could not control them at all as it seemed that her emotions played a big role in it. With this was the fear of her powers becoming apparent that she would not be a thing accepted in society. She was dangerous, unpredictable, she had to be locked away. Her and her parents moved back to Russia where it was more secluded from the rest of the world. It was there that her parents had locked her up and kept her inside. This infuriated her, it was as if she was a test subject. They would watch her and examine the things she could do. Her parents knew that if her powers were to become stronger there could be real damage done if she did not learn how to control it. But keeping her in a cage was not something wise. You see at that time not many people in Russia were known to be enhanced so she was something special and were also a prized possession. Her parents grew darker as years past, poking and prodding her. Doing experiments on her since they themselves had never seen an enhanced like this. They were also enhanced but did no have powers like hers so they were curious. After years of being trapped she had finally had enough. Something in her snapped and the next thing she knew she was waking in the rubble of what was once her house and backyard at the peak of midnight. The rocks were coated in some sort of liquid substance and dim lights surrounded it. It was then she found a small camera. Looking through its contents she found the most recent video on there. It was her entering the three stages of her power, the last thing that was seen on that recording was her but she looked like a galaxy... her parents escaped the building before her outburst.
After this ordeal she watched more of the recordings and had found that her parents had mentioned a school, a place where there were people just like her. Before she knew it she had enrolled in Trennan Academy.
Personality:
Octavia is a quiet girl and prefer to stay to herself. With that most of the time it's her trying to keep her emotions under control. She prefers a night in instead going out. But she's not easy to make friends with, it'll take her awhile before she warms up to you. But one thing is for sure you do not want to get on her bad side. Although she keeps to herself she will not hesitate to do what must be done.
Other:(Will add later. I will also probably tweak it late too since I'm tired and just wanted to get this done. I also am trying to limit her power alot since she doesn't have good control over it and cuz it can be a pretty op power if used properly. But since she doesn't know how to use it too well she hasn't unlocked full potential so there is a lot to learn.)
Spoiler: Crane Blackwater (ZeeBat)
Name: Crane Blackwater
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Nationality: Welsh American
Appearance:Spoiler: Crane
Powers:Spoiler: Boundry ManipulationThe user can manipulate boundaries — physical, material, spiritual, existential, conceptual, metaphysical, and so on. Since everything is existentially and conceptually defined by boundaries, the possibilities offered are limitless — for limits themselves are nothing more than the boundary Possible/Impossible, and the user can manipulate even that. Simply put, there is ultimately nothing the user cannot achieve.
Unfortunately, Crane doesn't have that much power at his fingertips as boundaries are something that the human mind finds difficult to comprehend, even one whose power lies in that. At the moment he is able to break down his power into a few uses:
-Boundry Perception (By Nature): The user is able to see any/all boundaries, including the metaphysical boundaries and dimensional boundaries between worlds. With sufficient experimentation, willpower, magic, or other means, a user can slowly learn to bypass these boundaries in small ways, such as picking a flower in a dream and finding it in their hand upon awakening. The basis of Crane's power, though it gives him a headache to constantly look at the boundaries between everything so he has to wear special glasses to block them. Though without being able to see he can't manipulate boundaries.
-Wound Transferal (Self/Others): By manipulating the boundary between himself and other's the user can shift any wounds between themselves and anyone in their range. It works best if they are touching their target.
-Boundary Restoration (Altered/Unaltered): The user can restore boundaries, fixing all that has been crossed. This power is designed solely to counter boundary manipulators, and with the right amount of effort can undo any boundary manipulation. [Partially Dormant] This is not an ability that Crane can consciously control, it only activates if his life is in mortal danger because of his own power.
-Subjective Reality (Fantasy/Reality): User can manipulate the boundary between fantasy and reality (what is and what isn't), turning one into the other and blurring the border between them. It allows users to bring anything into existence, including impossible things - especially impossible things, as fantasies care little about reality's limitations.
Fantasies can be brought to life as independent existences, or infused into reality in more subtle ways. Users can also turn aspects of reality into fantasies, making them vanish as having never existed. By combining these two aspects, they can remodel existing things to their liking, or replace them with something entirely new.
When using these capabilities at full power, the border between fantasy and reality becomes so thin that it might as well not exist. The affected area is no longer bound to reality and instead becomes an extension of the user's soul, a place where fantasy and reality are one and the same. In this impossible realm, unbounded by any rule, anything is possible, and things like "Heaven" and "Hell" are no longer just metaphysical concepts. [Weakened/Partial Control] The changes can only exist within Crane's range and no independent existences can be created. If he isn't careful its quite possible for Crane to hurt himself with this power.
General Weaknesses of Boundry Manipulation
- Range is 5-foot radius originating from the user
- No matter how much a user manipulates a boundary, its two (or in some cases, multiple) sides will always exist.
- Tweaking a boundary may have unexpected side effects.
- Incomplete forms of boundary manipulation are possible, like affecting only specific types (i.e. metaphysical or conceptual) or unable to affect certain boundaries.
- Without precautions, the user remains vulnerable.
- Careless use may cause dangerous paradoxes.
- Can only be used while user's eyes can perceive boundaries.
Biography: Coming from a fairly average family Crane's powers manifested early on during his primary school years. Despite the more accepting nature of the area they lived in the volatile potency of his power made it so that his family had to jump through several hoops to keep him in public school as they couldn't afford any private schools. Thankfully some charity organizations helping improvised Enhanced aided them with the medical tests needed to learn how to curve such a power.
Crane's parents treated his ability as less of an ability and more like a disability, not something helped by how spacy their son seemed to become. Tests later determined that this was because of how the boy could warp the space within his control between 'fantasy' and 'reality' leaving him with a sort of detachment from the real world. It was not until a year or two ago that they were able to afford to have special medical glasses made to block the key component of his ability. It was only by the grace of fortune that they were able to enroll their son into Trennan Academy thanks to financial aid and scholerships.
Personality: Possessing a cheery if absentminded personality Crane has made his way through his previous years at an easy pace. Keeping everyone at arms-length thanks to the nature of his power he has instead developed various flighty interests though reading holds his attention. Perhaps as a side-effect of his power, he tends to view most matters only half-seriously and with a worrying tendency to underestimate others.
Despite everything he does wish for friends and hopes to find others that can stand as equals with him, or at least be willing to be close enough for him to touch. Crane craves actual human contact but his imperfect control over his power has made it so he has rarely received any, even from his parents. Not out malice, but out of concern. He tends to panic if he can't find his glasses or if his eyes are completely covered.
Other: Always carries with him pain-killers and his special glasses that were prescribed to him.
Spoiler: Natasha Bakhvalova (Enigma)
Name: Natasha Bakhvalova
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Nationality: Russian-American
Appearance:Spoiler: Natasha
Powers:
Spoiler: Phoenix PhysiologyUser with this ability either is or can transform into a phoenix. She can transform into a bird of flames, but it can take some time to return herself to normal - this may mean finding her on some rooftop the following morning. If she is killed, it can take several hours for her to resurrect herself. Also, she cannot yet control the flames - people around her can be burned.
Spoiler: Psychic ShieldThe user is highly resistant to any/all mental intrusion, including psychic or empathic powers, Hypnosis, Mental Hallucination, deception, etc. Mind readers only “hear” static, while mind controllers are incapable of manipulating those shielded. She is vulnerable, however, to physical attacks.
Biography: Natasha was a Russian Mob Princess, daughter of Pior and Igorina Bakhvalova. Her bodyguard and former KGB, Vasiliy Pupkin (not his real name), trained her in Systema. She was also competing as a fencer, specializing in the Épée.
It's not sure how they reached him, but Vasiliy Pupkin betrayed the family. Picking up Igorina and Natasha following a fencing tournament, instead of taking them home, he drove them both to a warehouse owned by the Volkov family. Igorina struggled with Vasiliy, somehow getting her hands on his concealed gun. A shot rang out, but it was her mother who collapsed dying on the floor.
Natasha was beaten and abused for hours, recorded by various smartphones to be sent to her father, to convince him to capilate to the Volkov family.
She awoke to find herself tied to a chair, her body sore from their abuses. She struggled in her bonds, but wound up tippng the chair over and hitting her head. Her last angry conscious thought was to be clean.
Fire erupted in the warehouse, taking out the entire row. First responders claim seeing a giant bird of flames stalking the interior before the warehouse collapsed. Investigators the following day found her buried in the ash but alive, under some fallen sheet metal roofing.
While appearing completely unharmed following her ordeal, she could not speak a word. Her frustrations boiled over during a therapy session and she transformed, setting off the sprinkers. She was more surprised than scared, looking at her hands. A nurse tried spraying her with a fire extinguisher, and she somehow pulled herself back into human form.
The next thing she knew, she found herself being transferred to Trennan Academy.
Personality: Reserved and watchful. Dislikes when others prey on the weaker.
Other: Mute, possibly because of an brain injury that happened the moment her powers erupted and for whatever reason, is the one injury that is never healed when she resurrects.
Spoiler: Austin Luther (Price)
Name: Austin Luther
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Nationality: American
Appearance:Spoiler: Austin
Powers:
- Prolonged contact to his bare skin causes comatose or death. Unknown to him, (he will learn later in rp) he can also heal others with his touch. Using his powers causes him to get fatigued and weak, the severity of which depends on the duration that he has used his powers. Since Austin's powers are touch based, distance is obviously a weakness as is a lack of skin-to-skin contact is also a weakness.
- Austin has learn to be very capable in hand to hand combat while growing up on the streets. His style is a mix of boxing and wrestling, very raw and unpolished but surprisingly effective. He is quite willing to use his environment to his advantage. As someone once said to him, anything can be a weapon. The weakness to this "power" is losing and getting his ass kicked.
Biography:Spoiler: BioAustin grew up with a younger sister named Alice on the streets of Atlanta, Georgia, USA. His parents were drug addicts and neglected the two siblings. When Austin turned seven, he and six-year-old Alice ran away and basically lived the life of a common street rat. They did whatever they had to do to survive. They only stole what little food and water they needed to get by, careful to dodge Foster Care agencies and Child Protective Services. Austin would steal books and novels every so often so that he and his sister could learn to read. They excelled and were on par with more privileged children their age. Everything changed when Austin turned 15. He and his sister were at the wrong place at the wrong time. A gang-related drive-by shooting killed four victims, including Alice. Austin was sent into a rage. He tracked down the car and confronted the shooter. After a fight, he began choking the shooter and that was the first and only time his power manifested. He killed the shooter with his touch before he could even stop himself. He left the scene and has since stayed away from everyone and anyone. He now where’s gloves, a hoodie, basically as much clothing as possible. He heard about an academy for people like him. He enrolled, just hoping someone could fix him...
Personality:Spoiler: Cult of PersonalityAustin is a very shy introvert. He never speaks to anyone, and is usually content with an iPod earbuds in, hood pulled up. He is searching for anything good in his powers, and can see nothing but bad. He is a pessimist and has had nightmares every night since the incident. As the role-play progresses, more will be revealed about the other half of his identity, and his inward demeanor could shift to allow for him to be more open and trusting as conditions in the role-play develop and shift.
Other: There is more to Austin than meets the eyeTransformers reference, but even he doesn't truly know the depth of his abilities nor the hidden truth behind his past that may connect all of the dots...
Austin has a surprising talent for singing and playing guitar.
Spoiler: Delphine Leblanc (AngelDellaNotte)
Name: Delphine Leblanc
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Nationality: French Canadian.
Spoiler: Appearance:
Powers: Vapor manipulation, Delphine has the ability to control vapors and mist around her. She can turn water into mist. The amount of mist she can create is dependent on the amount of water she near. Unless she is manipulating large amounts of water Delphine can hold it for a while. She needs to be near the water, the further she gets from it the harder to control it is. The longest distance she has been able to control the mist is 15 meters and for about thirty minutes, though that time she only controlled enough water to conceal her. The larger the amount of water and mist she controls the shorter amount of time she can do it for.
A newer skill Delphine has recently learned to do is to actually turn herself into a mist. She discovered it quite by accident. There had been a robbery at a convenience store, the suspect was an inexperienced kid who in the chaos of everything discharged his weapon. Delphine was in the path of the bullet though when it should have hit her she turned into mist allowing the bullet to pass right through her. Since then Delphine as been practicing with the ability and has managed to be able to hold the mist for a max of 3 minutes and 42 seconds. While in her mist form she can move but it isn't that fast. She has also discovered that anything she is holding will turn to mist with her. The biggest problem with her ability to change into mist is that it won't work in cold temperatures. If it is cold she can't turn to mist and if she is already in mist form cold will force her to revert back.
Biography: She grew up in foster care, not knowing anything about her family. When she was a toddler she was found wandering around a park. At the time she was too young to know anything more than her name. The police tried to find her parents but after having no luck she was turned over to the foster system. From there she moved from foster home to foster home. Though none of them were really that bad. All and all Delphine had a good childhood. She was never adopted mostly due to her abilities showing around the age of eight. Foster children are hard enough to find homes for the enhanced ones even more so.
When she was too old for the foster system she moved out and got a place of her own. She had a few random jobs after that but wasn't satisfied being a cog in the machine. Delphine started had hanging out with a group of other enhanced teens during high school. They mostly pulled pranks and small robberies. After a failed robbery where Delphine was almost shot she broke away from the group on her own. She started doing jobs on her own. As she became more comfortable in her powers the jobs became bigger. She started contracting her services on the dark web. There wasn't anything she felt she couldn't steal. Delphine kept enough to live well but it was the thrill of it that kept her doing it.
Her downfall was when she was contracted to clone the hard drives of US Senator Marcus O'Keith. The job was going well, Delphine broke into the offices late in the evening when there wasn't supposed to be many people there. However the Senator returned catching Delphine in his office. She managed to turn to mist and escape but as she did an explosion occurred killing the Senator and three janitors. Delphine had been caught on security cameras fleeing the scene and found herself on the FBI's most wanted list. She was already known to them for her criminal career but wasn't that big of a threat before the bombing. She had even been arrested a few times but they were never able to keep her from escaping. They caught her attempting to cross the border back into Canada. The FBI was ready for her this time and had an enhance person who could control ice with them. They used their powers forcing her to change back. From there they fitted her with a set of cuffs that emitted a low enough temperature to keep her from changing.
After being arrested Delphine insisted she had nothing to do with the bombing but someone had gone through quite a bit of trouble to set her up as the fall guy. She was supposed to have been paid $100,000 to clone the hard drives but $6 million was deposited into her account. Along with a number of fake web posts claiming her to be part of a radical enhanced person group. Senator O'Keith was well known to be anti-enhanced and was a prime target for the group. Delphine still doesn't know why she was framed. Luckily for her she had a good attorney who was able to get her acquitted of the terror charges but there still was her career as a thief to deal with. She plead guilty to those charges to accept a plea deal where she would attend Trennan Academy. Though any problems at the school and she would be forced to serve a sentence of fifteen years in prison.
Personality: Delphine is a cocky woman. She has no problem using her abilities to her advantage. With that she can often come off as arrogant. While living a life of crime she became accustomed to nice things making her a bit of a snob. She knows what it is like to come from nothing and refuses to go back to that.
Other: She is fluent in both English and French, has a heavy French accent when speaking English.
Spoiler: Fin McHannis (Bionicllama)
Name: Fin McHannis
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Nationality: Scottish
Spoiler: Appearance
Fin stands at a full height of 6'1''. Although he usually wears a simple colored shirt and jeans he isn't afraid to dress up every once in a while even with no special occasion. He wears his beard with pride and anyone that knows him says that he takes more care of his damned hair than his own health.
On his back he has a tattoo of a tree, each branch representing his family from his parents down to his great-great grandparents, including some dear friends. On his arms he has several tattoos of no real import, the result of a past girlfriend who convinced him to "modernize his look".
Spoiler: PowersPower Negation: The user can cancel out the powers of others, making them unable to utilize their powers as long as they are under the user's effect.
Power Dampening: Touch - Fin is able to cancel out another Enhance’s powers through two modes: touch and runes. Through touch, Fin is able to suppress powers of an Enhanced. However, he is unable to suppress the powers of two people at once in this manner.
Power Dampening: Area - With a variety of specific runes, he is also able to dampen the powers of up to five people in a 50 foot range. However, doing so takes preparation. It takes an hour to concentrate on drawn runes in an area, and in doing so his dampening through touch does not function pass his new five person threshold. Once the area has been prepared it stays active for eight hours or until the runes are destroyed.
Spoiler: BiographyFin lived a normal life for most of his childhood. Normal parents, normal school, and normal friends. Being the only child of the family his mother and father doted on him constantly, something that he wish they didn’t do as much but appreciated that he had parents that truly cared for him. A normal life wasn’t something that Fin wanted. He craved adventure and to travel instead of staying in Perth. He loved his family and his home but staying in one place all his life wasn’t something the young man hoped for.
His grandparents on his mother's side were traditionalists, something that his parents seemed to want to keep away from young Finneas. His great grandmother especially practiced something called Druidcraft. As a child he never knew what it all entailed just that it had something to do with runes and nature. Even still, on occasion, his grandmother would teach him some of the runes, particularly of warding off evil, something that would come to be useful as his powers came to bloom.
His prayers would be answered just after his 18th birthday. While celebrating the occasion with his friends he saw his first Enhanced, at least the first one using their powers in the open and in person. A robbery was taking place at a local liquor store, the robber shooting flames out of his hands. To this day Fin doesn’t know what compelled him to help, just that he had to. Grabbing the wrist of the robber the flames stopped and the surrounding people on the streets helped to stop the man until law enforcement came.
It wasn’t until later that a doctor told the family that he had powers, or rather the ability to negate the powers of others. It was a latent ability that hadn’t shown itself until recently, this being the reason it wasn’t caught before. Several friends and family members suggested that Fin travel to Trennan Academy in order for him to further his education and learn more about his abilities. Although his father wasn’t fond of the idea his mother knew how much her son wanted to see the world. This being the perfect opportunity she convinced his father to allow him to leave.
Spoiler: PersonalityFin is usually determined in all of his prospects. Not one to leave anything half finished he makes sure to give 100% in anything he undertakes, including academics and the training of his abilities. As a child the concepts of family and chivalry were hammered into him from his father, and as such these two things are what are most important to him. Protecting others and honoring the family name is his sole purpose, being careful not to act for himself.
Fin is stubborn to a fault as well. He refuses to back down from a challenge, whether it be a fight or other tests of skill. Hating to be shown as weak he will fight on even in a losing fight.
He isn’t one for subtlety either, whether it’s people or actions. He believes in wearing his heart on his sleeve and isn’t one who cares for being shy. Trying to make the most of his time at the academy he is open to new experiences and making friends.
Other: Because of his power set Fin has started training in MMA to help defend himself. Although he is starting to become a good fighter, he is nowhere near the skill of an expert practitioner.

Hunter and Harper were born just seconds apart and much to their parents dismay, screamed blue bloody murder every time they were separated from then on. Having their powers from birth, they learned and adapted quickly, able to share all knowledge and skills as well as communicate mentally. Childhood was otherwise normal, they grew up on the beautiful Bruce Peninsula, wedged between Lake Huron and the Georgian Bay with two loving parents and a dog.
There mother, Greta, was a low grade enhanced, with slight Power Absorption skills. She worked as a social worker, often in conjunction with law enforcement to help with other Enhanced. This is how she met her future husband, a hard nosed RCMP officer who'd seen to much but wasn't willing to give up the fight. Together they worked to train more law enforcement in ways to help with Enhanced youth situations so less ended in lethal consequences.
The twins grew up fast, Popular, friendly and outgoing, they were star athletes in various sports and on several school committees. It was simple highschool life, though dating was rather difficult as many couldn't understand the closeness of the two. They were never considered enhanced, it was always just assumed they had that freaky twin thing. And it wasn't until a car accident that they realized the fuller extent of their abilities.
Coming back from a Hunter's wrestling tournament, a drunk driver swerved into the lane. The impact killed his mother instantly and would have taken Hunter's life as well, were it not for his enhanced abilities. His body was able to absorb the kinetic energy with little harm. His only injury being from a twisted metal spear of car, that luckily missed his shifted heart.
Harper who had stayed out with friends nearly lost consciousness at the burst of pain. Her stint in the waiting room was ten times more painful. For the first time unable to connect with Hunter. She was a mess, unconscionable by even her father. A burly man who simply held his little girl while his world fell apart. When they finally let the family into Hunter's room Harper clung to his hand, going nearly three days without moving. When someone eventually tried to force her away she lashed out, unintentionally releasing the kinetic energy from the crash and sending them flying back into the wall.
Not thinking them to be enhanced, their mother had never taken any precautions when interacting with them and had been absorbing much of their powers. Without her influence they are steadily returning and the twins need help. So now with his wife buried, summer over, Hunter on the mend and Harper semi-normal, Grayson Ward has enrolled them in Trennan Academy.
Personality: It's easy to get to know open people like the twins, energetic, happy, humorous and fun. But if there's anything you should know it that they are generous, compassionate and will always put the other first.
When broken down into separates, Hunter would be left brain. Smart, logical and ambitious, he looks before he leaps, considers all angles. He is also the protector and gentler of the two, reflective and tolerant. He's also slower to trust other.
Harper is all right brain, a captivating, creative and instinctual individual. She leaps before she looks and it's usually head first. More aggressive and adaptable than her brother, she's currently feeling incredibly possessive.

Spoiler: Fiera Macpherson (Vaidia)
Name: Fiera Macpherson
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Nationality: Scottish American
Appearance: Fiera is a mighty person, standing at 6'4" and with a rather well toned body from. Her skin is dark, both from many years in the sun and its own natural color. She has several tattoos on her skin as well, mostly of mechanical styled diagrams of the human body, as well as some other designs. Her hair is normally a russet shade, and is wavy in texture. She currently has a has the sides trimmed down and the middle of her hair longer, and often adds in streaks of different metals to make it look even more interesting. She has stormy grey eyes that could be intimidating, if she wasn't prone to smiling so much. She has a few piercings as well, one on her eyebrow and several on her ears.
The most eye catching thing about Fiera, however, is her right arm. It is entirely mechanical, and made of various metals all with a stylish grey tint. She normally has it displayed, usually by wearing short sleeves or cutting away the sleeve around her arm. There are also other random parts of her body that have metal overlays at random times, depending on her mood.
Because of her powers, Fiera can only wear cottons, wool, and other natural fiber clothing. She tends to enjoy wearing brighter colors contrasted with darker leather accents, which can either be quite fashionable or garish, depending on the person looking on it.
Powers:
Molecular Fusion- Fiera can take an object and join it with her own being, and control and manipulate it from there. This can only be done with inorganic material, and only things she can understand completely mechanically. If she doesn't understand the object, it can only be a part of her body temporarily before disengaging. If she has something fused to her for too long, it can become affixed to her nervous system, causing her to feel pain if it is damaged or if she tries to remove it.
Strong Body- As a fluke from her powers, Fiera has slightly above average strength for a human and it takes more to injure her. This is due to her absorbing different metals and other substances into her system over time, which may have adverse effect later in her life.
Biography: Fiera was raised by her grandparents, her parents going missing at an early age. The only thing she can remember of them is them running from her after a series of gunshots, and pain from being shot in the arm. She was found by law enforcement, but not in time to save her right arm, which had to be amputated. After a brief custody battle with her father's side, she was given to the custody of her mother's parents. From there, she grew up in what she perceived as a very normal life in a small town in Arizona town known as Safety.
Little did Fiera know, the town was one that served as a sort of a refuge for Enhanced humans. Located in the desert and in the no-mans land between state lines and the Navajo Nation, and no other civilization for many miles, Safety became a place for Enhanced humans to seek refuge from the ire and hate against their kind. Fiera grew up surrounded by people with extraordinary abilities, and assumed that watching people walk through shadows or randomly catch aflame were perfectly normal.
The town was a peaceful one and, being so isolated, had its own sort of governance that helped work out any disputes that came from people with incredible abilities. People were forced to rely on each other, and thus everyone had to play a role to help the town. Fiera became quickly enamored in her grandmothers' job in town as mechanics. One of her grandmothers (Gramma Xi) had the ability to see the complete structure of something in her mind when touching it, while the other (Gramma Em) could create things if she had the materials and plans for it.
Because of her grandmothers abilities, Fiera was given prosthetics from an early age, although they always frustrated her for not having as much flexibility as a real limb. She had an intense interest in orthodics and mechanical engineering, and began to study both the human body and various machines, until she had a plan for her own arm. The plans were finalized by Gramma Em, and then Gramma Xi made the arm.
It did not perform as she dreamed it would, until something was thrown at her. Reflexively, she reached out with her prosthetic arm, felt a twinge of pain, and found the arm working just as well as her other one, and her power manifested. It was a day of great celebration for both her family and the other people in town, as apparently her mother never showed any powers growing up in town, a fact which troubled Fiera greatly. However, she had little time to worry about that revelation, as she began to learn more and more about her powers (such as the pain when removing things fused for too long when changing out her arm for a new model).
Things were relatively wonderful for her until she turned 16, and her father's grandparents came to visit. They were much more traditional, and Fiera had little contact with them beyond the occasional birthday card, as they lived in Scotland primarily and Safety wasn't exactly easy to travel to. The whole visit was quite the disaster, Fiera seeming to be a lawless wild child in their eyes and they being very uncomfortable around so many Enhanced humans. At the end of their visit, it was revealed that Fiera was to travel back with them, something she was very much opposed to. It took a great deal of talking and convincing from both of her Grandmothers, but she eventually relent.
The trip ended up lasting two and a half years, as Fiera did eventually see the importance of her interacting with the outside world, and learning how most other people viewed Enhanced humans. She thought it was important for her to be "out and proud" about who she was, and with a very obvious metal arm and other parts of her appearance, it was quite easy to tell what she was. She knew it was important to show other like her that is was okay to be Enhanced, and to others there was nothing to fear.
Fiera received the invitation to Trennan Academy and, as much as she wanted to return back to Safety, she decided to attend. For the last half year before going, she did return to her hometown to be back with her Grandmothers and work out more things with her powers.
Personality: Fiera is an fiercely kind and accepting person due to her upbringing. She will help someone without hesitation, even if they seem they do not want it. She believes that everyone has the ability to be good, which can sometimes lead her to make rather naive decisions. She has a strong sense of justice, and will put herself in harms way if it means protecting them. She generally prefers to not fight, but will as a last resort.
Other: Fiera is incredibly handy, instilled into her by her upbringing. She will always volunteer to help someone, or will fix something she notices as broken often without prompting. She also has quite a sharp mind for designing different things, although she has no formal training other than what her Grandmothers taught her, various old books and several internat searches. Like the rest of the people living in Safety, she knows the basics of defending herself, although she prefers more meditative martial arts like Tai Chi. Due to the events in her childhood, she has an intense dislike of guns.

Metals are generally malleable—they can be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking—as well as fusible (able to be fused or melted) and ductile (able to be drawn out into a thin wire).

Biography:
Her mother was an aspiring animation artist who moved to Japan to learn from their unique animation style. Her father was a lonely chef who ran the coffee house down the street from her mother's. On one uneventful, rainy day the two ran into each other. From then on, it was like a dream. They were happily married and soon a child was born into their life. That child was Lena. From a young age Lena was prone to temper tantrums and pouting. Her parents knew her tactics and held their ground. Everything was great until Lena was around 2. Her mother got sick and ended up passing away. Soon after her father followed the same fate. Lena, with no where to go, ended up going to live with her mom's sister in Chicago, Illinois. Once she was in America her temper tantrums got worse. Lena's step-mother was ill equip to handle them. Instead of ignoring Lena she would get popped on the cheek.
As Lena got older she began to act out even more. The serious and no tolerance nature of her step-mother was suffocating. By the time Lena hit high school she was hanging out with the wrong people and skipping school nearly everyday. She would act like she was getting ready, walk out the door and then go hang out with Jezabel and the girls. They would hang out in the old warehouses, smoke cigarettes and laughing. At this point, one of Lena's favorite hobbies became fighting. She would enter any fights possible. It was during this point that she discovered that she had the ability to manipulate metal. Jezabel and her were meeting with some other's to determine a new meeting location to buy more cigs when they were jumped. Jezabel went down fast having been caught by surprise. Lena on the other hand was throwing punches. She managed to get two down, but then got pinned under the third. Right as he was about to plow a double fisted slam down into her chest, a piece of metal flew off a dumpster and smacked him. Lena stood, confused, and then watched as the metal fell with the pavement. A couple days later the black-haired tried again. She was so excited when it moved that she fist pumped. That day, when she got home, her bags were packed and her step-mother was waiting. Her step-mother told her that she was sending her to a special school...
Personality:
Brash and reactive, Lena is someone who instantaneously responds to whatever emotion tends to rear it's head. On the other hand, Lena is also very quiet. She may be reactive, but she will not scream or yell, just react. It was a quick lesson that the more your able to surprise someone then the better chance there was at winning. Lena has also been known as a protector. She forms strong bonds with people and will do anything to make sure that "her family" is safe. Although she is smart, it is definitely more street smart than book. Lena can also take quite the beating. The black-haired girl also has a soft spot for children and dogs.
Other:
Always keeps a metal necklace on her being.
