Name: Lynne Maris Reynolds
Age: 16
Power: (Must correspond with talent, or will be declined.) Ability to know the factual knowledge of the people around her while they are in close proximity to her. This does not extend to personal memories, history, powers, or artistic talents, as they are stored in different parts of the mind. For instance, if someone she met could
Talent: Analytical or otherwise "brainy" activities and subjects, such as Math- and Science-related puzzles. She learns quickly, but what her power allows her to learn from being around someone does not stay after they leave, so she has to learn on her own, be it at a ridiculously quick pace.
Personality: Lynne is quite socially backwards. Being around people confuses her, as she never really learned social skills. She is oft to be bemused with and distracted by whatever is on her mind, be it a breakthrough in nanotechnology or differential calculus, depending on who she is around. Being that she knows whatever the people around her know, she'll often explain things or skip explanations like the person she's explaining something to knows exactly what she's talking about. She loves to read, and sleeps with a book under her pillow most nights, despite the discomfort. It grounds her.
History: Lynne's ability to know what others knows comes at a cost: her own memory. She knows everything she's ever taught herself or was taught, but she can't remember much about herself. What she does remember seems to be someone else's memories, no emotion, no pictures, no sound. Almost like a written journal with the basics of her life in it. She knows her parents' names, and that they disappeared. Something about a cruise gone awry? Ugh. It hurts her head to think about the past. She just hits walls.
Description/Image: Lynne has straight, light-brown hair that curls up slightly at the ends and medium-brown eyes. She is about average in looks in regards to prettiness, and often crosses her arms in front of her chest because she is insecure of her figure.
Image
(she doesn't really listen to music much though)
Likes: Science, Math, Psychology, reading, puzzles
Dislikes: when several people hold different conversations in one area, ignorance, disorderliness, the number four
Fears: losing her ability, falling in love with someone and then forgetting them
Crush: she's afraid of relationships, but then again, she's never met anyone she would consider the risk
Boyfriend/Girlfriend: none
Family: Dead, probably. She doesn't know for sure.

Name: Jaden Erik Golleander
Age: 17
Power: (Must correspond with talent, or will be declined.) Can make people see what he wants them to see (for instance, can make a person see him as a talking tiger, or make it seem like their arm is covered in spiders). Can only do it for one person at a time well, if he tries multiple the illusion is unstable and could break upon contact (i.e. smacking said illusory spiders).
Talent: Creativity, coming up with strange scenarios.
Personality: Jaden is very mischievous. He likes messing with people's minds and making them react, be it with laughter or anger. He just likes to be noticed. Even though he finds fisticuffs beneath him, he has gotten into a few fights and did enjoy them, though he doesn't like to admit it. He's a bit of a womanizer, being that he is handsome and even "hot", so girls fawn over him. It's only easy...
History: His parents are pretty rich, the kind that throws large parties and goes on fancy vacations; however, they don't do anything too extreme. He got a bit tired of the posh nature of his life, so he fought against his parents. He was "marring the face of the Golleander family and the neighborhood", so they sent him away to what they believed was a military school as an exercise in tough love.
Description/Image: Jaden has slightly waved black hair and light, greyish-blue eyes. His facial features give off an aura of masculinity and playfulness, a visual "come at me".
Image
Sans bracelets though. "Those are for girls and sissies"
Likes: Music, illusions, girls, tricking people, messing with people's minds
Dislikes: People who break his illusions, people smarter than him, people who don't get tricked
Fears: "I don't fear anything!" ... except losing his posse
Crush: Though he does womanize, he would lose that way if he found someone he really cared about.
Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Who has time for that?
Family: A rich mother and father who sent him away.

Name: Trista Anne Markisson
Age: (Above 20) 32
Personality: Trista is a woman with two faces. On one side, she is kind, caring, compassionate. Even motherly. But this is a façade. She's truly cold and ruthless, and doesn't care about anyone who isn't essential in furthering her career. The prodigies sicken her. They find life so easy. They don't even know what hard work is. Everything is handed to them. How pitiful.
History: From the occasional cryptic comment, one can see that her home life was pretty poor. Potentially some child abuse, but she always mentions her parents in the past tense. She may have spent some time in a theater school, though not in hopes to act. She wanted to learn to manipulate. She did get married though, but he is also in the business.
Description/Picture: Trista has long blonde hair and blue eyes. She rarely smiles, unless if she's "in character". Then she plays the part of a caring adult.
Image
Likes: Control, manipulating people, quiet
Dislikes: Prodigies, anyone who has it easy in life... most people, really.
Fears: Being powerless
Crush: "Peh! I'm a married woman! Who do you take me for?!"
Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Married
Family: Married to: some random high-ranking government official NPC or someone's character if they want a bad guy. No kids. "... ew"
Rank: (High in the government, middle, or low.) Medium-high. Has spent a lot of time crawling the ladder.


((I tried to make limits on the powers so I wouldn't God Mod. Is this okay?))

[Hello! I'm wondering if I can reserve two characters, both prodigy. One has the power of Shadow Manipulation, the second has the power of Light Manipulation.
I won't be able to post their forms for two days since I'm coming back from an overseas trip, but I will post them as soon as I finish.
Thank you.]

I can start :3)
Percy ~ 16 ~ Thinking-Waiting ~ Bench outside of dorms
He sat on a brand new, white bench, outside of a large, grey building with a sign saying, "The Dorms." He was asked to stay here until his apparently dorm partner would arrive. His name was Jaden Erik Golleander, a prodigy of "creativity." He rolls his eyes. Is that really a talent?, he thinks to himself. He sighs, as this could be a while till he arrives. He slides his hand into his bag. It has his clothes on one side, and his favorite books, all in an orderly fashion. He rubs his thumb on the binding, looking for the name of it. He reads the engraving, reading, "Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief." He closes his bag, remembering back at the ship, as he found the drachma in his hand. He pulls it out of his pocket, rolling it between his fingers.



Macey ~ 17 ~ Disturbed ~ Outside the office
She stepped by the "office." It looks more like the darkest room, EVER, she thinks to herself. She was given a note to go here to see her dorm assignments. She will soon know, who she will have to deal with, and the number she will forget in an hour. she grasped the door knob. As she feels the cold metal, someone opens it up to her.

Zorin ~ 25 ~ Annoyed ~ In Office
He sits in the office waiting for the Prodigies. He spins a pencil on his fingers, and than hears footsteps outside. He jumps up, and opens the door. "Hello. You are Macey, I presume?" He doesn't wait for an answer, as he shoves her into a chair. He sits on the other side of the desk and looks at her. "So I guess you want your list of your dorm partner, there talent, and your dorm number?" she nods, and he slides a paper across the paper. "her names Piper. She makes art, like drawing, painting, and photography. Your number is 200." He points at the door. "Now you may leave." She exits hastily, wanting away from this man.

Erin ~ 17 ~ Bored ~ On path towards dorms, from beach
She grins as she steps out of the boat. She drags her clothes across the sand, as she passes some other teenagers. She pulls out her earbuds, and turns on Pandora. Jasmine Thompson Radio starts playing, and she continues walking. She bumps into some people as she passes, and says sorry each time. She watches some ants carry leaves up a tree, than continues.
(Erin is open for anyone really. :3)

Piper Montee-on ocean dock-frustrated
I groan as someone slams my art book shut, "What?!" I glare at the woman in front of me. She looked angry enough to be here, she just glared and shoved a slip of paper into my hand, "Go to this room," she finally said over her shoulder. I stood and grumbled, "wow, someone lacks social skills," then I stowed away my drawing pad and looked at the paper Report to the office to be given your room. So I begin walking toward the office.


Markus Roders-computer room-bored
My fingers flew a crossed the keyboard as I hacked into my old credit card system, 'password' the screen blinked. My mind instantly knew it, an odd talent that I learned form years of practice (or so I thought). As I typed the password I pulled out the new card I stole from a store, it was still inactivated, but not for long. I grinned at myself for quickly targeting the odd credit cards file and soon after deleting it. I scrubbed through almost every file as fast as humanly possible erasing every last code of the card. Then I delete traces that I was there, within minutes, the card never existed. I open a random account and check the amount: $50,000. Perfect Then I start setting up my card to work for the account. Before I finish a woman walks in and I switch over to a gaming website smoothly. The woman spots me and stomps over, "What do you think your doing in here?" I reply with the same tone, "Playing this website!" She squints harshly, "sure... what site?" Then I glace at the URL, " Narwhal Nation why?" The woman just huffs and takes a notebook before leaving.



Shana Jex-(cuts of first person in different areas)-angry
I step out of the cab that took me to the 'haven', looking around I straiten my grey pencil skirt and walk briskly to the government lounge. There I receive a note on my small desk the is for a prodigy, "why am I doing this!?" I blurt out as I read the paper. Breathing deeply I think about if I lose my job disobeying orders, so I take the sheet and go to find the girl. I see her sitting on the ocean dock, a quiet place that the wave lap softly on the rocks. When I get up to the girl I notice she isn't paying attention, so I slam the book thing closed. As she looks up I shove the paper in her hands and start away, "Go to this room," I finally say as I am already all the way down the dock. What is next? I think to myself, and I start towards the computer room. As I enter I see a young man on a computer. I rush up to him "What do you think your doing here?" I say harshly, and examine the screen. After he replies I ask him, "what site?" then turn around and find my notebook full of the prodigies files. Then I leave the room and head toward my small office.

[Okay. My holiday is over and my applications are complete. I hope everything is okay!]

Image

Name: Calina Laurel Leofcas
Age: 18
Power: Shadow Manipulation
Talent: Dancing
Personality: Calina was never academically smart, instead choosing to focus on the performing arts side of learning, and it really shows in her concentration. As a natural air-head, Calina's attention always seems to be switching from one thing to the next. It normally takes a while for people to get use to her, due to the reason above. Added that she is a rather shy person, yet also an open book and holds no secrets, she can also be called naive at times. She is very loud and expressive, preferring to being out in the open rather then closed off like her brother. A rather sweet girl who does not judge by appearance but whether or not you are a kind person.
History: Calina Laurel was born early in the morning, sunrise, on April 4th. The youngest child, a minute after her twin brother’s birth. Originally born in Athens, her family moved around a lot, spending majority of their time in either England or Karpathos, owning a house in each. It wasn’t until Calina started to learn to dance with her brother that her powers started to show.
At first, their parents thought their children to be special and accepted them, even bragged how the twins were ‘like night and day’ until it got them in trouble. Without their knowledge, the ‘social workers’ came and took them from their home. For all Calina knows, her parents think them to be dead.
Description/Image: Long, curly auburn hair that reached to the middle of her back, reaching an average 5’10, with dark green-grey eyes that take on a dark violet shade when she manipulates the shadows, her skin on the pale side. Her figure is a nice hourglass shape, with a rounded chest and a little on the chubby side.
Likes:
~ Music
~ Dancing
~ Sweets
Dislikes:
~ Academia
~ Fighting
Fears: Dementophobia – a fear of insanity
Crush: None currently
Boyfriend/Girlfriend: None currently
Family: Daughter of Corinna and Alexios Leofcas, sister to Calden Leofcas


Image

Name: Calden Tamani Leofcas
Age: 18
Power: Light Manipulation
Talent: Dancing
Personality: He does well in academics but prefers to focus all his time on dance and body movement, can seem rather cold towards people due to his goal driven personality. Even though some can call him cold and manipulative, around his younger sister, he is not as cold. Is normally very upfront about his opinions and doesn't care if he hurts other peoples feelings. Calden is grounded and level headed. able to think things through with little worry and mostly always has a splendid outcome.
Always looking out for his sister and barely seen far from her, he acts like a guard dog.
History: Calden Tamani was born early in the morning, sunrise, on April 4th. The eldest child, a minute before his twin sisters’ birth. Originally born in Athens, his family moved around a lot, spending majority of their time in either England or Karpathos, owning a house in each. It wasn’t until Calden started to learn to dance with his sister that his powers started to show.
At first, their parents thought their children to be special and accepted them, even bragged how the twins were ‘like night and day’ until it got them in trouble. Without their knowledge, the ‘social workers’ came and took them from their home. For all Calden knows, his parents think them to be dead.
Description/Image: Short, somewhat curly auburn hair, reaching an average 5’10, with dark green-grey eyes that take on a bright violet shade when he manipulates the light, his skin on the pale side. Calden is muscular from all the dancing he has done since young, but not overly so.
Likes:
~ Learning
~ Reading
~ Dancing
Dislikes:
~ Lying
~ Power hungry people
~ Being away from his sister
Fears: Kakorrhaphiophobia – a fear of failure/defeat

Jaden ~ Angry ~ Benches outside of dorms (walking)

I pull my bag off my shoulder with a grunt. The stupid thing cost over a thousand dollars, and is supposed to prevent back pain with gel pads and crossed straps or something. Yeah, it looks all sharp and new, all fancy with its mesh and logos, but it doesn't work. My back still hurts like I climbed a freaking mountain (which I have done. My stupid parents like that kind of thing). My stupid parents are the ones that shipped me here, anyways. What did I even do to deserve this?! Augh. It's not like anyone cares that stupid girl scarred her arms all up trying to scratch off those ticks she's terrified of (I snicker as I recall her horrified face). She's ugly, and a few scars didn't make her any more ugly. A few plastic surgery scars could make her less ugly though... maybe.
Ugh. No use throwing that kettle back on the fire.
I see a guy - nah, more a shrimp - sitting on the benches. Look at him with his big glasses and annoying clothes. Did his mom dress him or something? Sheesh. And... what's that in his hand? I notice the shimmer of gold. Is that... A coin? Eh, whatever. Probably nothing my parents don't have one of in their collection.
I decide to stick with niceties for now. Get to know him, find out what scares him (though it's probably everything... heh. Wimp), and use that against him. They're all so easy... so easy to manipulate. I suppress a snicker. I look at the paper they gave me quickly, see a name. "Percy Logan Montee". Is that the kid sitting there? It's befitting of a nerdy kid like that. And talent... speed reading and memory? I'd say it has to be him. What a nerd. I quickly don a "mildly nervous" smile and walk up to him, changing my voice and demeanor to seem like I am confused and a bit anxious about being in a new place.
"Hey. Um... I'm Jaden. Are you, uh, Percy? I'm new here and it... it looks like you are too, what with, heh, your bag and everything." I keep up my look, even though the character I'm making sickens me to my core. I'm not a sissy, even if I have to be one right now... "But... yeah. ... eh heh..." I run my hand through the hair on the back of my head, playing the part but truly thinking about how it will be fun to mess with a new person for once.

Lynne ~ Nonchalant ~ Outside computer room (walking)

I reposition the strap of my bag on my shoulder. It's cutting into my skin, and that hurts. Someone, maybe me, put duct tape around the straps, maybe to alleviate this or something... I don't know, really. It's there though... except it still hurts. However, that won't be a problem in a few minutes. The man down the hall told me ((he knew, she learned: her power)) that cutting through this computer room and then taking a few more cuts and turns will be a shortcut to the dorm rooms, so I can set down this bag and rest my achy shoulders. I open the door to a dimly lit room, illuminated by naught but LED notifications and LCD screens. As I walk in a woman hurries off somewhere else in a huff, though she doesn't seem to notice me. I, however, notice that a boy is sitting in front of a screen with a smug grin, lit up eerily by the harsh blues of the screen.
I need to hurry along, I have no time for a tête-à-tête. I need to get this bag off my shoulders. I brisk past him, trying to go by unnoticed but instead end up tripping on some wire and fall. Luckily I catch myself with my hands... ish. Great I think, and decide to just lay down. At least the bag isn't pulling on my shoulders anymore... just my back.

Trista ~ Amused ~ Security room

I smile. The group of prodigies just arrived... This is going to get interesting. I flick on the security camera monitors surrounding three corners of my desk. Each image had a letter and number next to it, and all I have to do is press a key and the audio is wired to my headset. I let my eyes scan, waiting for a monitor to pique my interest. Maybe they'll be a fight, a competition, anything that makes them use their powers. I'm under direct orders to wait if they decide to use them, wait until it's absolutely necessary to help. By waiting and monitoring, I can learn... It's amusing, learning from the little lab rats. They almost beg to be... Wait. I'm their "friend" right now. "Social worker". I soften my expression. That side can wait.

((Wow. Writing Jaden made me feel slimy. Then Lynne, heheh. But... Trista. Despite being short, I think it fits her. And is a bit creepy... Wow. Time to return from hiatus, it seems!))

Piper Montee-Grumbly-walking towards office
I huff and groan as I look around for the office, Why would I even need to get this information through the office?! I could just get it from other people! I almost trip over on a rock near where mt brother and some random guy are standing. But when I look down I just trip again and start falling towards the other boy, oh great not the perfect way to meet guys Is all that streams through my mind as I am falling onto the guy.


Markus Roders-Intrested-computer room

I was just about to turn back to my computer when I see a girl walk into the room. With a smirk I watch as she face plants onto the floor and starts to get up but just stays there. "You hurt?" I hold back a laugh as I don't really try to be helpful. Man, and she looked smart for a minute there! I look at the girl then type in her description on the computer. Before I finish typing her profile, firewalls try and shoot me down. I just glare at the screen and type the password again, then her image and other things appear. I gasp slightly as I notice that this wasn't google.... I was in the computer main frame...


Shana Grex-angry-small office
Unable to focus as she sits down in her chair she flips through the files of prodigies. "All of them are stubborn, little, self-absorbed, freaks." She growls to herself and opens her email. Emails of her credit card company appear before going into the spam section, and 1 new email opens itself. 'Next assignment, label all of the prodigies into groups, thanks, -tina' (my newest character, unmade though still) "why me!?" She puts the note book on her desk and goes to get coffee. When she returns she sets to work labeling them.
