████【♟】████

LANETTE LANE
the pacifist



████【♟】████

18 years old ♟ Female ♟ Pansexual ♟ Phoenix Squad recruit

Ability: "Pacifism"; the power to calm anyone into a peaceful state of mind. When she uses her ability, her eyes and palms glow a soft violet hue. She can concentrate her power on an individual target, putting them to sleep, or create an aura of calmness to pacify a large number of people. It works on animals as well.
Appearance: The mousy-haired brunette is quite small, standing at 5'0" with a slight frame. Her eyes are naturally baby-blue while her power is dormant.
She becomes cold easily due to her petite build and slender hands.
Personality: Lanette is a rather quiet, sweet young lady whose kindness knows no bounds. She has an uncanny intuition to tell when others are upset and in need of comfort. People have speculated whether superhuman empathy is part of her power. It's not. She is just naturally that compassionate.
She want to bring about a more peaceful world - that is her goal. When Lanette sets herself a goal, nothing and no one can stop her. She gives her best effort in everything she does. Otherwise, in her eyes, she would be cheating others and that would be unfair. She might be small and quiet, but she's incredibly determined.
Crush: TBA
Strengths: Determined, highly empathetic, great endurance, good at climbing or fitting into small spaces due to her agility and size
Weaknesses: Poor physical strength, very vulnerable to the cold, too sensitive to hurt any living things unless there's no other choice
Other: She's Gavotte's brother. They are fraternal twins. [Gavotte]

LANETTE'S RELATIONSHIPS

❤ Romantic
★ Friend
♫ Positive
◆ Neutral
✘ Negative
➹ Enemy


Phoenix Squad- Female

[Jennifer Dire: ★] Lanette considers her roommate Jennifer to be a sister. The pacifist is always there with a listening ear, but of course she won't pressure the fire manipulator to talk. She hopes that being an unconditionally kind presence will help the fiery girl understand her teammates are here for her.
[Arys Slate: ★] Lanette admires her werewolf friend's loyalty. She can always count on Arys, who's such a genuine person. The pacifist considers Arys' wolfish abilities to be beautiful, not a curse. Wolves are so strong yet elegant.
[Sabine Coudriet: ★] Lanette is glad that the mind-manipulation ability fell into the right hands. Sabine is a wonderful girl, and her quiet nature makes for comfortable company. Lanette is fond of her, especially since their abilities are both mental. It's something else they have in common.
[Eris Manes: ♫] Lanette enjoys Eris' company and cleverness. The pacifist doesn't get angry at her 'annoying' behavior, rather finds it amusing. It always brightens Lanette's day when she sees Eris doing Eris stuff.
[Aphrodite Thorne: ♫] The snake-charmer is quite admirable in Lanette's eyes. She's hardworking and capable, a young woman deserving of respect. Lanette would like to become closer with her.
[Emma Grey: ♫] Lanette often giggles at Emma's antics. She loves the way the shapeshifter can laugh even at difficult moments. In Lanette's mind, being able to do that is a sign of inner strength and resilience.

Phoenix Squad- Male

[Leonardo Torota: ★] Lanette is highly protective of Leo. Whenever she senses anxiety from the taller boy, her immediate instinct is to offer the soothing touch of her pacifist abilities. She'd like to encourage him to become more secure and confident over time, because he deserves to believe in himself.
[Apollo Torres: ◆] Although Apollo is often unkind to Lanette because of her ability, she tries to sympathize with him. Lanette does not hate him despite his harassment - she still believes in him. A bully can change and become a better person. She hopes that with enough patience, he'll come around.
[Gavotte Lane: ★] Lanette loves her brother, who is younger by a few minutes. She feels protective over him since he's such an introvert. The pacifist speaks softly around him, understanding he prefers quiet company. He's more sensitive to noise than his more easygoing sister.
[Naevys Luxen Xyrcan: ★] Lanette sees Naevys as a trustworthy and reliable friend who she can confide in. The pacifist feels she can talk about anything with Naevys without judgement - even controversial subjects. For example, both share the sentiment that the Delran Prince is not his father. Naevys' injury was the main catalyst that inspired Lanette to start working in the health ward. He deserves to walk and run on two strong legs.
[Cujo Yakovski: ★] Lanette has come to consider the medic a friend after working in the health ward together. She hopes to get to know him better off-duty, though. His formality makes his presence feel older, to be honest, making him a reassurance to have within the Phoenix Squad.
[Ardai Fairchild: ♫] The prankster's jokes and jibes don't annoy Lanette - she takes them in good humor. She appreciates that Ardai is able to keep a positive attitude in spite of their serious responsibilities ahead.
[Caleb Oxenbera: ♫] Lanette has a strong fondness for the beast-summoner, whose leadership talent seems to appear when it's most needed. She supports his ideas wholeheartedly. Of course, sometimes she worries that he might overthink things and work himself up into a stressed state.

Higher-Ups

[Prince Alastair Brungard: ◆] Lanette understands her opinions on the Delran Prince will lead to judgement from others. However, she can't help but consider the possibility that Alastair is a good man. It's difficult for someone like Lanette to believe in "evil". She prefers to see the light in everyone.
['Princess' Ella Brie: ❤] Lanette met the current Delran Princess while working in the health ward. Ella made for a sensible and intelligent friend, committed to preserving every patient's life. Lanette can't help but smile whenever she remembers the days working alongside Ella. She always looks forward to the spy's next visit.
[Commander Atlanta Hunter: ♫] The Commander has the full respect of the pacifist. Lanette admires how Atlanta helps build friendships between the Phoenix Squad. They're all on the same team after all, and need to work together for the sake of Delra's future. Plus, it's nicer when everyone is friendly.
[High Councillor Senegal Jin: ♫] Lanette always looked up to the gentle giant. Despite Senegal's intimidating appearance, the young pacifist has never feared her. In fact, it's even more endearing - she's like a big teddy bear.
[Councillor Oakley Kailen: ♫] The fatherly nature of this Councillor always puts a smile on Lanette's face. She loves the way Oakley coaches the teachers to genuinely care about the children.
[Councillor Evelina Gardener: ♫] It's a welcome change from expectations when the head of the Intelligence Department is like Evelina. A sweet and kind young woman, she has certainly earned Lanette's respect many times over. Their personalities are similar, so Evelina's high status encourages Lanette.
[Councillor Aurelia Baker: ♫] Lanette overlooks Councillor Aurelia's anger issues and sees her as a grandmotherly figure: old, wise, and experienced. Of course, Lanette would never call her 'grandma'. It'd be rude.
[Councillor Watson Montgomery: ♫] Lanette thinks the Councillor of Development is funny and unique, never having lost his inner child. It both amuses her and makes her respect him more.

Family

[Kris Lane: ★] Lanette remembers when her dad used to read her bedtime stories in the nursery. Her father's soothing voice could calm her as a fussy little child. Now Lanette is the one who calms others, and she credits her father.
[Macy Winters: ★] Lanette loves her mum and always gives her a big hug when they meet - she knows her mother loves that. Macy's quite physically strong, though, and tends to trap her tiny daughter in her bear hugs.
[Kayla Lane: ★] Lanette is obsessed with her baby sister and constantly fusses over her. With Kayla's empathic abilities and Lanette's rumored-to-be-paranormal natural empathy, they seem to communicate their emotions without anyone else knowing. It's like they have a mental connection of sorts.

Arys Slate
Werewolf

Full name:
Arys Slate
Nickname:
None
Age:
18
Gender:
Female
Sexuality:
Straight
Position:
Phoenix Squad recruit
Alignment:
Chaotic good
Kin:
only child, parents are deceased
Crush:
open
Appearance: Arys is regular height, around 5' 6", with a slim, curvy body. She has piercing silver doe eyes, and fair skin. Her hair is jet-black and falls down to about her waist in waves. She regularly wears a black beanie, especially around a full moon, and a sweater paired with jeans and worn, black converse.
Fears/hates: Arys' huge fear is being alone. Despite her outward love of being alone with herself, she finds peace in being with the rest of the members of the Phoenix Squad and doesn't know what she'd do without them. Growing up without a family was one of the hardest things she's ever done, and it has made her closed-off and lonely. She hopes that the Phoenix Squad will help her to open up, but she still isn't ready to tell them who she really is. In addition to this, she fears the unknown. As a child, it was never the dark that scared her but what her mind could come up with in the dark. She never failed to create some terrifying creature that lurked in the shadows, and of course it was tailored to what she'd fear because it came from her mind.
She hates with all of her being following rules. Sure, if she agrees with them and sees a reason for them, she will follow it, but if she doesn't? They're not worth her time and she will gladly break them, pretty much regardless of the cost. She isn't stupid, though. If it puts someone else in danger, she'll begrudgingly follow them. Also, people like Apollo make her mad. Of course, if she knew what he was really like, she'd change her attitude. She might even find that he is someone she could befriend, if he'd only get over himself. She just doesn't like people who are full of themselves.
Morals/beliefs: Ayrs abides by her own morals and makes her own beliefs. She isn't one to be forced into believing things she doesn't want to believe. A logical thinker, she will often view a situation from all angles and research if she can before coming to a conclusion about things, but sometimes her anger gets the best of her and she lashes out without thinking. This trait often shows when someone she loves or something of moral value to her is being threatened. A major value of Arys' is that you should always fight for what you believe in.This is slightly contradicted by her other major value, which is to keep everything and everyone she loves out of harm's way, even if it involves sacrificing herself. Other than that, she believes in innocent until proven guilty and that everyone deserves to live unless they've done something really bad.
Personality: To people who don't know her very well, she is cold, quiet and has a bit of a mean streak. To her friends, she's kind and loyal, the type of person who will put their own life before other's. She's feisty and can certainly hold her own in a fight. Cautious by nature, she has a hard time letting people in and dropping her facade. She's intelligent and loves to read and draw. Not a sporty person, she isn't into competitive sports but likes to run. Most of the time, she can be found in various places drawing. She has a high tolerance for mental and physical pain and is very rough and blunt with people, but not to an extreme. Arys is a hardcore tomboy and hates anything relatively frilly or "girly".
Strengths: Werewolf benefits: heightened physical abilities, heightened senses, can shift into a wolf
Other: doesn't get cold easily, great runner/swimmer, high pain tolerance
Weaknesses: Full moon, silver, very closed-off, blunt with people, can't STAND heat, lies often, has...trouble...following orders sometimes, cupcakes, too loyal
Other: Full moon affects her, forcing her to change into a wolf. As it gets closer to the full moon, it is harder and harder for her to remain human, so her ears and tail will frequently show even in her human form. Her fangs remain 24/7 but are small and mostly unnoticeable unless a full moon is around. Additionally, a strong rush of emotions could initiate the change, though normally it's harder to initiate a change the farther away from a full moon it is.

Relations

Legend:

♫ Positive
◆ Neutral
✘ Negative
➹ Enemy

Phoenix Squad- Female
[Lanette Lane: ★] Arys can confide in Lanette and she knows Lanette won't betray her, which she loves. She's dependable and incredibly kind, and Arys likes that about her. She tries not to talk too much about herself regardless, preferring not to burden Lanette, and will often simply talk amiably about anything and everything to her.
[Jennifer Dire:♫] Honestly? Arys thinks Jen is pretty awesome. She sees a lot of herself in Jen for some reason, and would love to become better friends with her, but due to both of them being closed-off and cold, nothinng has really happened so far.
[Sabine Coudriet: ◆] Arys doesn't know much about Sabine, and as a result doesn't really know what to think. She's even more guarded than usual around her and is kind of creeped out, kind of envious of her power.
[Eris Manes: ★(on and off)] Arys has gotten to know Eris pretty well over the years and they're friends, but they're the kind of friends that will joke-fight or fight a lot. She can't stand people who are egotistical, and Eris can be just that at times, which annoys her to no end, but she tries to ignore it because she honestly really likes Eris as a person. She just hopes she'll drop the ego over time.
[Aphrodite Thorne: ♫] Aphrodite is a bit of a mystery to her, but she hopes as her roommate they can become good friends. Plus, Arys loves snakes.
[Emma Grey: ♫] She doesn't know why, but for some reason Emma isn't annoying at all. In fact, Arys would love to get to know her better.

Phoenix Squad- Male
[Leonardo Torota: ✘] Arys doesn't like cowards, but she figures he can't be all that bad. Who knows? He may become a friend. Still, she thinks he's weak and vulnerable, and how does he forgive that easily?
[Apollo Torres: ✘] From what she's seen of him, Arys hates Apollo. Like, really hates him. She's not one to annoy people, but boy, she loves to torment this guy and see him anger. If she knew him better, maybe she'd be nicer, but all she sees is an mean, self-centered narcissist.
[Gavotte Lane: ★] While Gavotte is a little too fatherly for her liking, she finds him pretty chill and fun to be around. Like Lanette, she feels like she can confide in him, which she likes about him. She can't open up to many people, but he's one of the exceptions. Also she loves hearing him sing lol.
[Naevys Luxen Xyrcan: ◆] Arys doesn't know Naevys well, but can tell he's someone she would like and thus wants to get to know him better.
[Cujo Yakovski: ◆] Arys knows little to nothing about Cujo, but she loves his name.
[Ardai Fairchild: ★] While Arys doesn't know Ardai as well as some of the others on the Squad, but she considers him a friend and hopes to become closer to him. Like Emma, his constant pranks and tricks don't annoy her, but rather amuse her.
[Caleb Oxenbera: ◆] All Arys knows about him is that he's calm and a quick thinker, and she likes that. Like most others she doesn't know very well, she hopes to get to know him better.

Other
[Prince Alastair Brungard: ✘] She wants to hate Alastair, but he's not as bad as his father and is more polite. Plus, she's not entirely sure of his intentions. She honestly believes he has the possibility to be a potential ally but has never confessed this to anyone.
['Princess' Ella Brie: ♫] Arys only knows what Lanette has told her about Ella, and so far Ella doesn't seem that bad.
[Commander Atlanta Hunter: ♫] Arys looks up to the Commander. To her, Atlanta is more of an older sister that demands respect than anything.

[Pistol Annie #1 NPC]

Arys Slate is accepted, and has been added to the front page. Welcome to the Uprising! :)

[sevenstorms]

Name: Sabine Coudriet
Age: 18 years old
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Position: Phoenix Squad recruit
Ability: Influencing and manipulating the minds of those around her. (Within a small radius)
Appearance: Short brown hair, brown eyes and pale complexion.
Personality: Introverted but very snippy. In control of her emotions, knows how to use her ability to her best advantage in most situations.
Crush: None yet
Strengths: Unphased by other mind/ mental manipulations, very large knowledge base on the history of her ability and family past, can bypass most security systems and generally is undermined by her appearance as to how strong her ability is.
Weaknesses: Elemental damage, physically very limited, massive trust issues, mild heliophobia and severe weakness to prolonged sun/heat.
Other: She will often have intense bouts of mental/ mind breaks where all she wants to do is retreat back into her own mind. Not so much of a weakness as a personal drawback. She is very introverted/ shy and can sometimes come off as mute - but she's very able to talk in both English and her mother tongue.

[Pistol Annie #1 NPC]

Sabine is accepted! Welcome to the Uprising.

I realized that Lanette and Sabine would make the best interrogation team. Lanette could pacify the target to make them compliant and Sabine could manipulate their mind and make them talk.

[DetectiveLunar]

Name:Leonardo Torota
Age: 18 years old
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Position Phoenix Squad recruit
Ability: Mirage- The ability to cause the enemy to believe that Leo’s somewhere he’s not. So while you’ll see the enemy slicing through thin air,the enemy thinks he’s slicing at Leo,meanwhile Leo’s sitting in the corner watching. (Got the idea from Justice! I couldn’t think of anything!)
Appearance: This cowardly dork has a pale complexion and stands at 6 feet. His hair is a dark brown that can be mistaked for black and light brown eyes. He’s always seen wearing sweaters,the colors usually only being black,grey or any shade of blue,and a black dress shirt underneath. You’ll see him wearing glasses in order to see things in front of him.
Personality: Leo’s a really cowardly dork. He gets frightened easily and hates that about himself. He’ll sometimes wonder if he’ll end up costing the team something important like a life because of his cowardliness or if they talk behind his back about it. Despite this he’s always seen with a happy smile and friendly attitude. The dude’s a huge pacifist. He’ll refuse to fight anyone especially when there’s a way they can solve the situation without violence. He believes in second chances but he forgives and forgets a bit too easily. He’s willing to forgive you even if you’ve done something incredibly wrong and dangerous or chaotic,he’ll stretch out his hand and give you the second chance he believes you deserve. He’s quite intelligent and has quite the memory. You can tell him something and ten years later he’ll still remember what you said so if you need someone to memorize something Leo’s your man! He’s a bit clumsy but not enough to put his self or anyone else in danger.
Crush: TBD (Possibly none)
