Alkhatine's Characters

[Alkhatine]

Now, the genasi are a curious race, and so rare that I debated mentioning them in this book at all. Obviously I decided to, though very little is known of them. Why, in my own travels, I have only encountered one that I know of. I traveled with her for a few weeks, and she told me much about the nature of her kind.

Genasi are they byproduct of the communion between a mortal and a genie, often...

--- excerpt from The Races of Negative Space

GENERAL ➤ xLeah seems to drift through life, a serene smile on her face and polite but distracted words on her lips. She is a traveler at heart, pulled by the winds to go wherever they take her, and seems to be mature beyond her 32 years.

APPEARANCE ➤ xLeah's unassuming air and slender frame overshadows her 5'9" stature, making her seem more delicate than she is. Her face is fine-boned and noble in appearance, pale blue-gray eyes peering keenly at the world. She chooses to don simple white traveling clothes, stained from years of travel and mended over and over again. A dark blue newsboy hat sits low on her head, and the tendrils of white-blond hair that escape it rustle slightly in the ever-present breeze that seems to accompany Leah. That same dark blue of her cap is present in her long-sleeved undergarments and gloves, effectively covering all skin below her neck. On hot days, she goes without her undergarments and gloves, and glowing markings can be seen wrapping around her pale skin.

EQUIPMENT & SKILLS ➤ xA large bow sits on Leah's back, and she is extremely skilled with it, able to nudge the arrow with gusts of wind to hit her target with unerring accuracy. Wrapped around her to rest on her right is her Scout's satchel, which carries all the things she's learned is essential to travel. She can float perhaps half an inch off the ground, allowing her to move without making a sound, and she can hold her breath for much longer than a human. Well-versed in thriving off the land, she excels in all the things a Scout is meant to do.

Avery stands at 5'7" (170 cm) with an athxxx
letic build from swimming. Her straight brxxx
own hair frames an oval face, and her skinxxx
is olive with a smattering of barely noticexxx
able freckles. She almost never wears makxxx
eup, but when she does, it is with subtlexxxx
neutral shades. She likes wearing snarky txxx
-shirts, worn black jeans, and gray hoodies.xxx
╚xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx╝xxx

Avery was born to a Puerto-Rican father and Caucasian mother, and has two younger siblings. Her father taught her how to swim when she was a baby, and she never really stopped. She didn't swim for the school, though, because she dislikes pretty much every athlete in the school. Her grades weren't horrible, but she was too stubborn to really do well in any of her classes, tending to disobey the teacher just because they told her to do something regardless of whether or not it would actually help her. She's been this way since she was young, and her father loves to tease her about the numerous near-death situations she has found herself in because she was too stubborn to back out. Avery does hold a great love for her family, but is the type to show it with insults and shoves. She is closest to her father and her younger brother, but her family is relatively tight-knit.

Even within the outcasts, Avery does not have many close friends, as she is difficult to get along with. She detests the populars based on the fact that many of them are stuck-up, but little else. The braniacs she tends to ignore unless one of them bumps into her or something, and then she treats them to a death glare.

It may be obvious, but Avery is a very contrary person. She tends to dislike things and people on principle, regardless of whether they have personally wronged her, which causes a lot of tension between her and people who don't understand why she criticizes them so harshly. She struggles to admit when she is wrong, and sometimes blames others for her own mistakes. Though her focus may be off, Avery is honest, and the criticisms she has of others are generally true. She is unafraid to speak her mind, and does so bluntly. Emotional vulnerability is hard for her, and it can be difficult for those around her to tell exactly what she's thinking, especially because she has a "resting murder face" (as she calls it).

nerd (braniac) // 17 years oldxxx
male // demiromantic-asexualxxx
╚xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx╝xxx
╔xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx╗xxx
Kevin is 5'11" (180 cm), but slouches his laxxx
nky frame in a way that makes him appearxxx
shorter. His slightly wavy black hair is in axxx
bowl cut, and sideswept bangs fall into hisxxx
pale face. He wears glasses at all times andxxx
prefers plaid, sweater vests, and jeans.xxx
╚xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx╝xxx

Kevin moved to town with his mother in the middle of junior year after a series of events he would rather not talk about. As such, he has few friends, and has not maintained contact with those he had in his hometown. In addition, he is younger than most in his grade, having skipped a grade in elementary school, which also inhibits his ability to connect to people. His mother immigrated from Korea, but Kevin was born and raised in the U.S., and has little connection with his relatives. He is close with his mother, but she is away for work for long periods of time, so Kevin has always known how to take care of himself, as he is an only child. All of this coupled with his introverted nature has made Kevin a person who is comfortable with being alone, and actually much prefers it.

Kevin is close with some of the other braniacs, but tends to follow their lead and steer clear of the other cliques. He doesn't understand too much about the social hierarchy in the school, content with paying attention to himself, his studies, and his few friends. There is not one specific area that Kevin prides himself on his knowledge of; rather, he is more of just someone who likes to learn and is good at it.

When interacting with people, Kevin is gentle and at times hesitant and awkward. He tries being kind to everyone, and would rather avoid people than confront them. In this regard he is a bit of a pushover. If someone tells him to do something, he is the type to obey unquestionably.

Something about the way light bounces of Con's
body makes him appear to be where he was seve
ral hundred milliseconds ago. This doesn't affect
him much in regular life, besides the fact that th
ere's a slight disconnect between his words and t
he movement of his mouth, and that people tend
to bump into him. In close combat, though, it giv
es him a significant advantage. He can "bump up"
the lag if he wants, but this requires concentrati
on and isn't always practical while fighting. He is
vulnerable to quirks that have a large area of eff
ect, and, with enough time, his opponent can ad
apt to the lag somewhat.

contact, con can cause a single person's vision s

Con has a very strong moral compass that he is
passionate about following and defending. While
normally fading into the background, he tends to
go on fervent rants — often looking like he's on
TV with bad signal due to his quirk — when some
one tries to challenge his opinion. It causes some
insecurity and guilt afterwards, but he finds it dif
ficult to stop himself. Despite his strong views, h
e likes to think that he's willing to listen to reason
and change his opinions when presented with a s
trong enough argument, and has done so before.

Con struggles to trust others with his issues and
things in general, as being out of control makes
him anxious. As a result, teamwork is one of the
things his teachers constantly try to get him to i
mprove on. It isn't that he's bad with people — in
fact, he can be quite encouraging — but his intro
version coupled with perfectionism makes him a
solitary person at heart.

femalexsᴇxᴜᴀʟɪᴛʏ. heterosexualxʙᴜɪʟᴅ. 5'9" (175 cm) | slimxᴍ-ʙ. estjx
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Even though she's a doctor, Rene has horrible bedside manner. Healing t
akes a lot out of her, so she's more likely to be snoozing in another bed
when the patient wakes than fussing over them. She rarely cracks a smile
- though she does smirk at some awful jokes - and generally doesn't ex
press herself through facial expressions. Rather, she defines her relation
ships through touch, ruffling hair and punching arms to show affection.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rene's mutant power makes her a natural choice for the doctor. With tou
ch, she can manipulate the biology of a person, healing most wounds wi
th enough concentration and time. She can also cause injury, but prefers
not to fight, as her ability isn't very practical for combat.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Bob is pretty much the most relaxed trained killer you would ever meet,
but with a dangerous edge. He takes things as they come and has little
sense of right or wrong, which suits him just fine. He does what he's pa
id to do, washes his hands, and moves on to the next job. Bob (probabl
y) isn't his real name, as he finds it easier not to form relationships on t
he job. Despite his laid-back attitude when it comes to people, Bob doe
s harbor a resentment towards mutants, more due to the environment h
e grew up in than any personal trauma.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Bob is skilled in many weapons, though he prefers hand-to-hand. Hacki
ng comes easily to him, and he's not above using dirty tactics to get the
job done.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dong-Hyun much prefers machines to people, often finding himself ton
gue-tied during the most basic human interactions. Still, he's kind, albe
it in a slightly awkward way, and he values others in his own way. Some
of his mannerisms are childish, but as a whole, Dong-Hyun is mature,
logical, and pragmatic.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
As the son of Hephaestus, Dong=Hyun is a master builder and mechanic.
He can sense and control machinery to a certain extent, and sparks are l
iable to fly when he's experiencing strong emotions. He still struggles a
bit with control, and sometimes grows overwhelmed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dong-Hyun enjoys dressing up, but when he's working it's usually in a si
mple white undershirt and grease-stained jeans. No matter how fancy his
clothes are, he wears metal-toed boots.

FACECLAIM: GEMMA CHAN

ID NO. ▩▩▩▩

NAME: RACHEL WU

BIRTHDATE: APRIL 23, 1986 (AGE 33)

SERUM EFFECT: ENHANCED SENSES, most notably that of
TOUCH. Sensors have recorded lesser increases in HEAR-
ING and SIGHT.

Instructions if patient RESISTS:

(do not panic — Patient has no record of violence)
shine a BRIGHT LIGHT into patient's eyes
OR
play HIGH-PITCHED SOUND between 25 and 40 kHz

EXAMINATION NOTES:
Patient's mental state seems to have deteriorated since last month's session. Eyes unfocused, hair messy, posture slouched. Last medical check noted another spike in hypersensitivity, and guards reported struggle when escorting patient to session. Requesting psych evaluation as soon as possible.

STRANGER ➤ Rachel prefers to dress in a minimalist semi-formal style, and her makeup is also very simple when she chooses to wear it. Few things seem to make her smile, and her initial reserved nature is off-putting to many people.

ACQUAINTANCE ➤ There is always a quirk to her lips when Rachel tells a joke, which manages to round the edges of her dry, sarcastic humor. The secret to her smile seems to be wit, though she does care about others in her own hesitant, unsure way. She is remarkably dependable in a crisis — years of struggling to adapt to her own body's hypersensitivity has made dealing with things out of her control an easy task.

FRIEND ➤ Rachel is by nature a logical person, weighing the pros and cons before making her decision, but can be independent to a fault. When it comes to her power, there are several things Rachel shrinks away from, the sensation of latex and the sound of static being two. Dipping her fingers in warm water helps to snap her out of the rare sensory overload, and despite her solid grasp on her powers, there are still bad days when she can't turn things off and the only solution is to wait things out.

ɴᴀᴍᴇ. brendan haughxǫᴜɪʀᴋ. lag (mutant)xᴀɢᴇ. 16 yoxʀᴏʟᴇ. studentx
ɢᴇɴᴅᴇʀ. malexʙᴜɪʟᴅ. 5'10" (178 cm) | lankyxᴍ-ʙ. enfpx
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ ❯❯ Brendan is loud and spontaneous, which can be a bit ha
rd to handle at times. Still, he excels at drawing people from their shells,
as long as they're willing to reciprocate to his small talk or fun facts. As
soon as they do, he pretty much considers them a friend. Despite this o
utgoing attitude, Brendan does experience the odd mood swing, usually
triggered by stress.

In the classroom, Brendan's enthusiasm can create problems, as he often
brushes aside logistics and makes hasty decisions. Still, he does have the
genuine heart of a hero, and works his hardest to make his dreams a rea
lity and push himself to his highest potential.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ᴀᴘᴘᴇᴀʀᴀɴᴄᴇ ❯❯ Brendan's pale face, usually painted with a smirk and arc
hed eyebrows, and his hooded green eyes give Brendan's resting face a s
ly sort of look, contrary to his upbeat and friendly demeanor. He doesn't
care too much about fashion, just throws things on without putting thou
ght into whether they match or not.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ᴘᴏᴡᴇʀs ❯❯ Brendan affectionately calls his quirk "lag." It is a mutant quir
k — something about the way light bounces off of him makes him appea
r to be where he was a few hundred milliseconds ago. This doesn't affect
him too much in regular life, though he does experience issues with han
d-eye coordination, looking like a character from a movie with bad soun
d design, and constantly being bumped into.

As his lag is purely a mutant one, Brendan excels the most at close comb
at, relying heavily on speed and his quirk to catch his opponent off-guar
d. It works best when he is fighting solo, but Brendan always makes an e
ffort to slot his abilities with another student's somehow. He is vulnerabl
e to quirks with large areas of effect, and with enough time and skill, his
opponent may be able to adapt to his lag somewhat.
