If you don't want to keep them but you don't want to kill them, just send them to the free range. Sometimes, they'll get picked up by the sanctuary.

If you are not Adapa (Lost Memories) or I, then don’t post! Easy as that, haha.

-

Info

Basically, the poorer you go, the less futuristic and the richer you go, the more futuristic, but overall the architecture and stuff still tends to be at least a bit medieval. And yes, there are powers in this world, people are born with them and can sometimes have several.

Anyways- Everyone has a visor that allows the government to basically know everything about the person and spy on them. Only the rich are able to buy ones that don't do that.

Visors keep people focused on their jobs and also serves as a way for people to evaluate each other and see what rank they are in society by a color and use/abuse/do whatever with them if they are the lowest rank or the opposite if they are of a higher rank. So to reinstate rich people do still have to have the visors, they can just have ones that don't spy on them.

Anyways, usually visors let people do certain things that help with their jobs. Like a medic's visor might point out someone's injuries and what treatment is needed.

Not having a visor and being of a lower rank can lead to being arrested, so those in the rebellion smash theirs and create their own. Higher ranked people don't tend to be arrested immediately.

Visors can also turn off the spying system in other visors as long as that visors' rank is lower.

-

Rebellion has to work with the arena and that’s why Aries and Simon are there. Rebellion has to work with Briar’s gang, very loose. Rebellion has to work with Gorōta’s gang, also very loose.

-

Irfam and Revan are both already in the group, just very much different sides of it. Like, Revan's keeping things from getting out to the public and Irfam's over here just doing his job but for the rebellion too now. Making weapons (some of mass destruction).

Garvin's pretty easy, if you offer him food then he's bound to show up. Aries would've joined due to the arena getting involved. Which is kind of due to Simon, who was sent by the arena to scout the rebellion out.

-

Akira's been against the government forever because of the home situation, so joining an actual rebellion was a no-brainer (plus, they've got food, so-), I'd say they're already in it. Nico would be relatively easy to get in too, they've been on the not-great side of society since they were born, and Adiar's probably all for it, so, if nothing else, they probably just followed their toxic boyfriend in

Sol... Probably followed Kano? Maybe?

I mean, he's honestly kind of a wild card at this point in time, so they're probably not even really aware of what the fuck he's actually getting into.

Karma and Kostas are easy. Karma says fuck the government and Kos follows because 1, yeah, fuck the government, and, 2, if he doesn't follow, Karma's just gonna die somehow, so-

Ingall's the only one who's harder to gauge. In all honesty, he'd probably join just for the sake of Maya's memory, a kind of mini revenge on everyone who fucked her over in life. Oh, and, actually, the rebellion is probably a good hide-out spot to get away from Amar, so, there's that.

-

Revan joined due to Monta, and has stayed even as his life got even worse. He probably works with Promachus a bit to keep the rebellion under the radar. Not to mention the information he can get as a higher member of society.

Irfam and Alvis probably joined a long time ago, but after The Collapse, well, I mean- Alvis was dead and Irfam was not doing well at all. If I had to guess, he didn't show up for a while again but eventually did at around the same time he started to try and work on AI Child again. That being said, very much wasn't consistent with it until Promachus joined too and then Promachus was able to keep him coming a bit more consistently. Of course, at this point, he's very unstable, so... There's that.

I can totally see Mergen and Garvin joining together, not sure which would be first though. Garvin probably heard about the rebellion first and ended up telling Mergen about it, since those two knowing each other kind of makes sense, and then Mergen basically said that they might as well check it out because why not and then they ended up staying.

Gorōta probably joined because of his group. There's a few of them that totally would've joined and tried to get Gorōta to join too. Like Daiji, who probably would've brought both Hanu and Gorōta to try and stop some of the abuse going on in the group.

-

The government is ruled by a king or queen and their advisors/generals/something. But ultimately the king/queen.

Rebellion aiming for the visor’s specific link that one of the advisors/generals are in charge of watching/controlling and whatnot.

-

Rebellion base is in plain sight in a somewhat larger building (though still smaller than if they were out of the city), we'll still need a sleeping area and someplace to eat, so maybe an underground area would be best for that, then the upper floor could be a meeting area with a back room that holds a bunch of weapons and stuff.

Alright, so let's say there's around 16 smaller rooms for now then, that way we've got some extra room that we can say other rebellion members are staying in as well, and we can adjust as needed. That would mean 6 rooms on either side of the hall (and the hall leads to a more open eating area or something?).

Current Roommates!!

Karma and Kostas.

Ingall and Simon.

Sol and Kano.

Gorōta and Hanu.

Garvin and Akira.

Abilities;

Strategize

This ability gives Akira a kind of foresight in different situations, mainly regarding combat and sports, and allows them to quickly formulate a solid plan without researching their opponents first. They can come up with a plan that might usually take hours in just a few minutes.

/~/

*Cybernetic Parts;

None

Appearance;

Credit to @lof@[email protected]

Akira is about average height, standing at 5'9" and weighing at a slightly heavier than average 200 pounds, though the extra weight really is just muscle. Their skin is lightly tanned with warm undertones.

Their face is diamond-shaped with a smaller chin and forehead and slightly wider cheekbones. Their nose is what you may consider 'normal,' with a slight curve and rounded off end while their lips are thin and often pulled upward in a lazy smile.

Akira's eyes hooded and seem to sag slightly, colored amber. They're also accompanied by eye bags at all times. Their eyebrows are slightly bushy and have no obvious arch, hanging above Aki's eyes in a way that makes them look constantly determined and maybe even angry.

Akira's hair is dyed a dark purple and is just above shoulder length, with the back often pulled into a small ponytail. The front of their hair has a tendency to fall into their face and is very messy more often than not.

For scars, Aki has quite a few. The most obvious being one right across their nose, one around the length of their neck, and one across their cheek. Many more litter their back, legs, and arms, though Akira never specifies where they got all of them, only ever saying they were from "training accidents."

*Attire:

Aki is often seen in a large array of colors, though blues, purples, and pinks are their favorites. They usually wear a colored shirt, simple pants (usually ripped in at least one place... accidentally), and plain torn-up work boots.

Oh, also, Akira is always cold. They're never seen without some sort of jacket or coat and usually sport a scarf as well. Seriously, it can be summer and they'll be freezing!

*Jewelry/Accessories:

Akira has a lot of piercings. Pretty much every ear piercing you can imagine, they've got it. They also have a nose piercing and a stomach piercing, though they don't wear charms and things on those as religiously as they do their ears.

Aki is also rarely seen without their fingerless gloves and yin-yang necklace.

*Voice;

Akira's voice is lower in pitch and generally pretty quiet. They speak somewhat slower than normal, taking time to find the correct wording before actually saying the words out loud. They also tend to draw out 'N' and 'M' sounds as well as hold onto s's. They're pretty easy to understand as long as you're close enough to actually hear them.

*Handwriting;

Aki's handwriting is typically pretty messy. Honestly, it kinda looks like chicken scratch. Plus, it's hard to read since Akira's spelling is horrendous, even despite being an avid reader.

Left/Right/Ambidextrous;

Right-handed

*Posture:

For the most part, Akira's posture is pretty good, they don't hunch so much that they appear much smaller than they are, but they don't have perfect posture either. It's usually relaxed, but overly so.

/~/

Personality;

Akira is... interesting to say the least.

On one hand, they absolutely love physical activity and hanging out with friends, and, on the other hand, they'll kill you if you wake them from their evening nap. Akira is both full of energy and completely drained at the same time... They don't even understand it themself!

That weird fact aside, Akira really is a complex character. They enjoy reading and relaxing (usually in their room alone), and they're generally a very chill person to be around. At the same time, however, they can never refuse a challenge. Whether it be a game of chess or a training duel, Aki is always very determined to win, and they won't stop until they do... only to complain about being tired later.

Aki is also a very kind soul. They can befriend basically anyone just by their ability to read the room and casually start up a conversation or just sit quietly and read in the same room as someone else as an extended hand of friendship. They care very deeply about their friends and are extremely loyal. No matter what. Once you've befriended them, they've always got your back, even if it gets them into trouble.

Admittedly, they do like to show off a bit, enjoying being applauded, but they never take up too much time, and you'll rarely hear them boasting about how they're better than someone else (outside of friendly banter), even if they are. They like to win fair and square, and, in their eyes, no one's really a loser if they tried their best.

That said, Akira will absolutely snap at someone who's beating down on someone else because they didn't win a game or, worse, failed at something out of their control. Aki hates bullies and is always quick to stand up and protect those who need it. They're a big softie, really.

Also, though, Aki can definitely be lazy if there's something they don't care about. They're very smart, but they don't always try their best when it comes to boring things like math and science. Sports and English are much more their style and any other stupid subject can burn in hell. You can find them lounging around their room or some other space that's clear enough for them to lie down in.

Oh, right. Akira also has a sense of humor. A very dry sense of humor. They crack a lot of jokes, but it takes a lot of being around them for you to know when they're actually joking and when they aren't. Also, they don't mind a few pranks here and there, as long as they aren't causing any harm. If they are causing harm though, Aki will quickly shut it down. They're too protective to let anyone do anything stupid enough to hurt someone else.

Overall, Aki is a kind, competitive, somewhat lazy, and protective soul. Oh, also, they really like food.

Abilities;

Enticing Voice

With this power, Gall basically has the power to captivate the attention of anyone and everyone in earshot at the time. He can redirect their attention and convince them to do what he says because it's a "good idea" and will "always work." His words can hold someone's focus for several minutes after he stops talking as well, meaning they may come back to reality doing something they don't remember starting or in a completely different place than they thought they were.

/~/

*Cybernetic Parts;

None

Appearance;

Credit to @lof@[email protected]

Ingall is extraordinarily beautiful. He's tall, standing at 6'2", and has a slender, hourglass build. His hair falls down past his shoulders, bleach blonde and wavy, most often seen in a braid. His face is diamond-shaped with a narrower chin and forehead and broader cheekbones.

Ingall's eyes are almond-shaped and a bright, pretty green, full of intelligence. His lips are thin and slightly turned down, making him look constantly serious. His skin is fair and completely clear except for a crescent-shaped scar on the left side of his chin. His ears are slightly pointed and often have earrings in them, and his nose is slightly more pointed than usual, giving him a sharp look.

Ingall's cheeks have a light splash of freckles on them. His eyebrows are thin and have an obvious arch, and there are a few worry lines between them, something that should be expected from a person such as Ingall.

*Attire:

Gall is generally pretty well dressed, always in a logical manner, of course. He typically wears a light blue long-sleeved shirt under a darker blue or black long vest or jacket with a belt over the top and black pants with tall black boots. He also always carries his long bow and arrows and his brown leather bag.

*Jewelry/Accessories:

Ingall is typically seen with a silver tree necklace around his neck and a crescent moon in one ear and a star earring in the other, showing off his love of nature.

*Voice;

Ingall's voice, though typically softer and carrying an appealing, gentle tone, is easily raised and well heard, always clear. He annunciates and articulates very well, so even people who may struggle to understand the language can usually gain some level of understanding. His voice is made for singing and public speaking, constantly moving and easily keeping people engaged.

*Handwriting;

Gall's handwriting is typically very neat. It's the kind of handwriting that basically anyone can read, evenly spaced with slightly more curved letters that are often just smaller than medium-sized.

Left/Right/Ambidextrous;

Left-handed

*Posture:

Picture-perfect. He almost never slouches unless something is really wrong or bothering him

/~/

Personality;

Ingall is a very deep, complicated character.

Starting out simple, he's extremely intelligent. Ingall understands problems of all sorts better than most people. He sees things through a logical lens and solves things based on math, science, or linguistics. It's common for him to shove his emotions aside in order to come up with the best solution. This isn't to say that Angel doesn't understand emotions, psychology is one of his best subjects, he just believes that it's his job to create the best solutions and make sure everyone else is taken care of. He can worry about his own feelings later.

Along with this Ingall is always extremely organized. Plus, you may as well call him Mary Poppins because he's always got anything you could possibly need with him. He plans ahead and never undermines the slight importance of any item.

Next, Ingall's always got a backup plan. You can never expect anything to go perfectly, and if you don't have another plan, things can go to shit real fast. Therefore, Angel will have about a dozen scenarios in his head and at least two plans for each. You can never be too prepared.

Ingall can also be a bit of a stubborn know-it-all. To be fair, he usually does know best, but still, it can certainly be annoying to be around him on occasion, because he rarely changes his opinion once he decides on it.

Okay, there was surface level, let's dive a bit deeper, shall we?

First off, Ingall is in a constant state of paranoia. Everything could go wrong in a matter of seconds. It's happened to him more than once, and because of that, plus some extra trauma on top of those few times, he's never able to fully calm himself and accept that everything might be okay. He doesn't understand the concept of safety. Everything is a threat. Everyone is an enemy.

Perhaps because of this, Angel can be unintentionally manipulative a lot of the time. Yes, it is genuinely unintentional. He'll say or do something that's a simple habit for him, often as a defense mechanism, and it'll come out in a way that sounds different than Ingall actually intended. Or he'll assume that someone is doing something that they aren't because he thinks it's obvious that that's what should be happening because his mind works that way, and when he figures out that's not what's happening, he'll be confused and accidentally guilt shame. He really, really doesn't mean to, he just doesn't understand what he's doing.

Onto self-expectation, something Ingall struggles with a lot. He always tells himself he has to be absolutely perfect, and, when he's not, he beats himself up for it. He also assumes everyone expects the same from him and often ends up apologizing for it, even if literally no one expected anything of him. This, again, stems from severe trauma.

Now, how is Angel with people?

Terrible. He doesn't know how to talk to them at all. Yes, he's great at public speaking, anything that involves teaching, and ranting about random issues, but when it comes to genuine discussions? Ingall doesn't even know where to start. He gets anxious and fidgety, he's very socially awkward until you strike a subject of interest to him. This is mainly because he hasn't had really good experiences with making friends in the past.

Now, Ingall really does like people, even if he's awkward around them. He hates seeing people get hurt and always stands up for those in need. He fights for equality and has a genuine love for people and their well-being.

He is also a huge fan of nature, loving just about everything relating to the outdoors. He's got a way with animals and loves to help them out or just watch them do their thing when he can.

Angel really is a sweet guy, he just doesn't get a lot of opportunity to show it.

Alignment;

Abilities;

Astral Projection

This power allows Sol to basically go outside of their own body (flesh) and travel and look around in a spiritual and virtually transparent form. In this form, Sol is able to hear and see things without being seen and is also able to communicate with others in this form. However, this power is extremely draining, and also extremely dangerous. Sometimes it engages without Sol actually activating it when they're sleeping, resulting in sleep paralysis and a kind of connection to the spiritual world that allows Sol to see things they shouldn't, making them feel like he isn't real, is dead, or is going mad. Also, if he's outside of his flesh body for too long, Sol may lose the ability to return to it and be forever stuck halfway between Earth and the spirit world. (This will only happen if they've been outside of their flesh body for at least 24 hours continuously.)

At their very strongest, Sol could technically raise the dead, though he's never tried before, and doesn't really plan to since the consequences would likely be greater than the positives.

Age;

*Birthday:

April 10th

*Blood Type;

A+

Alignment;

Abilities;

Mind

This power gives Kostas skills with most things related to the mind. He has heightened intelligence and reasoning skills, telepathy (mind-reading), higher resistance to other mental powers, and lessened emotions (negative and positive alike).

/~/

*Cybernetic Parts;

None

Appearance;

(Credit to @Qian Lin @neka.cc)

Kostas looks rather intimidating because of how large and athletically built he is. he stands at 6'2" and is 209 lbs, the extra weight being mostly muscle. He has a strong, squared jaw and a strong nose to match it. His eyes are such a dark brown that they almost look black, and they hold a cold, knowledgeable look the majority of the time.

Kos's skin is a dark brown while his hair is black, arranged neatly on top of his head. His skin is smooth, save for a small scar on his upper lip from a childhood accident, and his body is rather squared with big muscles.

Now, onto what he wears. Kostas is one for simple but good-looking clothes, wearing a simple, collared, solid-colored shirt and either blue or black jeans. At night he'll wear sweatpants, and, if it's cold, a sweatshirt, if not, nothing else. He does run in the mornings, wearing athletic pants and a loose T-shirt while doing so. He also wears a pair of simple, squared glasses.

He also has a small heart tattoo on his upper wrist to symbolize his sibling, Kyrie.

*Attire:

*Jewelry/Accessories:

Kostas often wears a black scarf.

*Voice;

Kostas's voice is lower in pitch and tends to be on the quieter side. It's typically pretty monotone while also being cool and connected, which is mostly due to his lessened emotions.

*Handwriting;

Kostas's handwriting is, luckily, extremely neat. Though there are definitely several spelling errors, considering Kos's dyslexia, but overall, it's neat. His letters are more curved and he presses a little too hard with his pen occasionally, so his writing also tends to be a little darker.

Left/Right/Ambidextrous;

Right-Handed

*Posture:

Near perfect.

/~/

Personality;

Quiet | Analytical | Kind | Intelligent | Trustworthy | Independent | Observent | Careful | Distant

To people who don't know him, Kostas may come off as cold, but really he's just quiet. He has trouble making friends because of the fact that he doesn't really speak up unless he's answering a question or someone talks to him first. He's actually a very kind person and always willing to help if someone asks for it. However, Kos does tend to step back and observe rather than join in on activities or conversation, silently noting down every small detail for later, theorizing on behaviors and other things, and trying to figure out what certain people struggle with so he can help out. He's very good at it too, it's not often that people realize what he's done until much later when they realize they feel a tiny bit better than before.

Along with all of this, Kostas is a very intelligent person, which is all that most others know about him. He excels in areas of technology, and it isn't often that he's seen without some sort of journal or scientific problem that he's currently working on. He's obsessed with knowledge. In his mind, if he understands everything, nothing can hurt him.

The majority of people believe that Kos is simply trying to do well in his job, perhaps to please his family, but in reality, Kostas's obsession is due to trauma. He lost his older sibling because of a disease that doctors had no information on, and, therefore, no cure for. He hopes to learn as much as possible so that something like that never happens again.

On another note, if you do befriend Kostas, you're pretty much guaranteed a friend forever. Even if you don't talk for ages, you're still in his mind. Also, if he tells you he'll do something, he'll get it done. No matter what.

/~/

*Cybernetic Parts;

None

Appearance;

(Picture added later)

Like most things about Briar, their appearance is intentionally confusing.

Any stupid homophobe who wants to misgender them is gonna have to try real hard because they manage to fall in the direct middle of feminine and masculine representing.

They have a square face shape with a pronounced jawline and forehead, they have a 'normal' nose and fuller lips that always seem to be upturned and smirking while their eyes are almond-shaped and a light, honey brown, often glowing with amusement. Their hair is shaven in the back and on the sides, left long in the front to occasionally fall into their eyes. It's naturally a darker brown, but it's highlighted blonde and the ends are still a very faded bluish-green from when they dyed it a year ago.

Briar's skin is lightly tanned and covered in scars from multiple different occasions that Briar refuses to discuss. They're about average height at 6'0" and slightly smaller than the normal weight at 120 pounds.

Their wardrobe is made up of random, mostly brightly colored garments. Some dresses, some skirts, some t-shirts, some Hawaiian shirts, and some other random things. Really, the only consistency in their wardrobe is a pair of black tennis shoes.

*Attire:

*Jewelry/Accessories:

They have their ears pierced and their nose pierced and they have an odd assortment of ear and nose rings that they wear. Their tattoo is on their right ankle.

*Voice;

Briar's voice changes often, as you might expect, but their natural voice is on the higher side and has a tendency to be obnoxiously loud. They often draw out their words, especially N's and M's, and they also talk way faster than they probably should.

*Handwriting;

Briar's handwriting is surprisingly neat. It's smaller and loopier with the occasional addition of some fancy cursive type lines and curves.

Left/Right/Ambidextrous;

Ambidextrous

*Posture:

It's alright, not terrible. Briar definitely slouches though.

/~/

Personality;

Briar is a confusing character, to say the least.

They aren't one for rules, first off, preferring to do what they think is best rather than what they're actually supposed to. This gets them into trouble a lot, as you would expect, but, more than often, they're able to get out of it without much consequence. Maybe this is because of their certain charm, or maybe it's just because everyone around them is too used to their chaos to actually care anymore. Whatever the case, Briar's gotten away with a lot more than they ever should have.

Briar also doesn't have a great reputation, they're known to be a liar and an annoying person to be around, so most people just avoid them. Actually, Briar hasn't had any real friends since elementary, though they claim not to care. In reality, Briar does care very much. They enjoy socialization and would like to be able to talk to people without being immediately discarded. Still, they continue to bug others by flirting and teasing.

Really, Briar has an extremely intelligent understanding of people that no one ever notices because of their typically annoying nature. In actuality, Briar can almost always pick out how someone is feeling by a quick glance in their direction. They process and understand emotions and emotional actions more than most people.

Perhaps most confusing about Briar, however, is the fact that they never take sides. Not even once has Briar chosen a side in an argument or a fight. They've jumped continually back and forth between two ideas. It drives a lot of people crazy because they can make a great point for one side that will give them an edge for a few minutes and then turn around and give the other side an equally as strong point. It drags the argument out until one side finally gives up or both sides get annoyed at Briar and leave.

|~| Garvin |~|

Name: Garvin.


Name Meaning:

Garvin; “Rough, Rugged, Rough/Cruel Fate, Spear-Friend”.


Nickname(s): Anything you can think of! Please do, he loves nicknames. So much easier to remember compared to names. No one is safe from nicknames around him.


/~/


Gender; Male.


Sexuality; Brinsexual.


Poly/Ambi/Mono; Ambi.


Age: As if he knows. He just knows he was ~5-7 when the orphanage had enough of him and he’s been out for ~2 decades(16-20 years). So like, at least 21, probably older though. (25).


Birthday: All he knows is it’s in July. Which is why he hates that month.


Alignment; Chaotic Neutral!


Blood Type; He doesn’t actually know what his blood type is.


Abilities;

Catecholamine Rush.

He can cause Cortisol, Noradrenaline, Dopamine, and Adrenaline(either in combinations, separately, or all at once) to be boosted by making someone(or himself) use their natural supply up faster/more of it and his ability creates an artificial version of whichever one(s) are completely out that is easier to get addicted to the feeling of. He has to do something that would trigger natural production of whichever ones he’s trying to use before he can use his ability.

Envious Typhokinesis.

He can manipulate pre-existing smoke. When he does, the smoke turns into a dark orange-red color. This smoke can become varying degrees of solid based off of what Garvin wants to do with it. More so, he can control when he’s manipulating smoke most of the time though it can also be set off by emotions. Namely, envy.

Both of his abilities are also able to feed off of each other as well.


/~/


Appearance;


Credit to @lof@[email protected]

Garvin stands tall at a haunting 6’ 5”, usually hunched to a 6’ 3”. His skin tone is a pale fair color(a bit more on the tanned side though, given how much time he’s spent in the sun) with cool undertones(mostly greener ones due to his terrible habits), only adding to how pale he is. He has freckles practically everywhere on his body. Quite honestly, his skin and hair have a layer of dirt and grime that he’s sure wouldn’t leave even if he washed and washed.

--

Garvin has a rather oval face shape, meaning he has a smaller forehead and a smaller chin, but the middle of his face is wider, the whole thing on the longer side. His cheeks are rather gaunt despite it. Now for the nose, something that Garvin rather likes, he has a hawk shaped nose, meaning it starts off the same way a ‘normal’ nose would, and then goes off the deep end at a slight angle, the tip of it a bit lower than the nasals. His lips are thinner in shape, and smirks his most often seen expression. Well, those and his signature Garvin grin.

--

His eyebrows are rather thin. Despite them being thin and rather straight, they have a slight bush to them towards the end which gives them the illusion of an arrow pointing. Finally, his eyes with deep, heavy eye bags underneath them and usually bloodshot, (and whether that be from lack of sleep or his unhealthy habits, is unclear) are a deepset hooded shape and dark gray in color, which he is glad for. Because if he had green eyes with his freckles and red hair, he’d certainly huff and puff unhappily(sarcastically, of course). His face is framed by unruly and wavy, almost to the point of curly, (2C to 3B) red hair. Firey in color, though more on the gray side of the red hair spectrum, that is most oftenly messy and in his face, the tips of all of it going just below the ears in length, the back going down to the nape of his neck.

--

His body structure could quickly be described as rectangular, a long torso matched with long legs, everything about him screams lanky. Especially when taking into consideration the fact that this man only weighs in at around 125 lbs, his BMI at 14.82 and being underweight by 31 pounds. Most surprising about his weight, is that most of what he does have is muscle, otherwise he'd probably be way more underweight than he already is. When it comes to body hair, Garvin doesn’t have an insane amount- Just about average for his age and circumstances, honestly. He also has a few tattoos of vines that go across his knuckles.

--

As for scars, he possesses many. From scars on his back and shoulders that look like they’re from whipping, to burn scars on his legs and arms, to cuts on his arms, to a singular one that looks like a slash across his neck, to scars that make it seem like skin had peeled off his arms, to a scattering of small scars at his jawline, eyebrows, and nose. He’s covered in scars. His left hand has a small scar of a cut across his palm. And both hands have tiny scars all over, which are both just extremely calloused too. His wrists both have scars circling them. He has quite a few cigarette burn scars on his arms and shoulders. He also has random scars of varying sizes all over from various things.


Attire:

He’s usually wearing a red and black flannel that’s a bit torn up, stained, and burnt. Some of the tears have patches, but there’s still a few that don't. He never buttons it up all the way, especially since some of the buttons are missing or broken or hanging on by a thread. Under that, he usually wears a short sleeve white shirt. Luckily enough, this shirt doesn’t have any tears in it. It does have a few old stains and burn marks though.

--

His pants tend to be ripped, baggy black pants that have quite a few patches. Somehow, he’s kept most of the pockets free from tears and holes. As for shoes, they most often end up as black work boots with buckles, some of the buckles on his left are broken, and one on the right is as well. He also wears a dark gray trench coat most of the time, with a few old stains and tears, mostly notably the bottom right corner of it has a rather large portion burnt off. But nothing brings in attention much like the tombstone patch he’s got on the back of it. It’s large, blank, and corroding. He absolutely refuses to wear any jacket that doesn’t have it on there. He’ll put it there himself if he has to.


Jewelry/Accessories:

And when it comes to accessories? Fingerless gloves made of gauze that he’s wrapped around his palms and up to his elbow, several rings(all bands) that he wears on whichever finger he ends up putting them on that morning.

--

And then there’s piercings. He has a nose piercing(nasallang piercing), a few different ear piercings; multiple lobe ones(both ears; 5 left and 4 right), a helix piercing(left ear), a tragus piercing(both ears), a flat piercing(both ears; 2 left and 1 right), a lobe piercings(both ears), and an industrial piercing(right ear). Lastly, he also has a mouth piercing, a spider/viper bite piercing.


Voice;

Out of the different types of voices, he’s a Spinto Tenor. As for a more detailed description… His voice is on the higher but deeper end of the spectrum. It’s gravelly and smooth. It used to be higher pitched and smooth, but given everything, it’s become deeper and gravelly; scratchy. It’s still higher pitched, just more rough sounding. Screechy wouldn’t be a good way to describe it, but if it was the only way to describe how raw his voice is, then it would have to work. His voice sounds hoarse, raw, and raspy, to put simply. He also doesn’t tend to put too much effort into dictation, so a lot of his words end up sounding a lot less clear than they should be.


Handwriting; Garvin’s penmanship, quite frankly- Is terrible. It’s barely legible, even to him. But that’s when he writes fast and for long periods, if he’s writing something slower or something short then it’s a bit better. Still not the best, but it’s definitely more legible, at least. And that’s not even mentioning the spelling! He sticks to smaller words, because he can’t really spell. Or really read either.


Left/Right/Ambidextrous; Ambidextrous.


Posture:

Garvin’s posture is tense, but relaxed. He’s practically always at least slightly hunched, though his shoulders are usually tensed. His entire posture really just screams that he’s comfortable and relaxed to anyone that only gives him a glance. Anyone who looks on longer though can see the slightest tenses that say that he’s alert, that he’s still watching people and is prepared for any oncoming attacks. Usually though, nobody really notices the signs of being alert and simply thinks that he’s a relaxed kind of guy.


/~/


Personality:

To say that Garvin is a generous and modest person would be like trying to say that a sydney funnel-web spider is a harmless spider. Because in all actuality, Garvin is arrogant and prideful, not to mention extremely greedy and selfish. Though this may come from the fact that he grew up on the streets, so to be fair, most of his boasts are well deserved. Regardless, he still has a huge ego that can and will intimidate opponents. Not to mention his sharp tongue that’ll spit insults like there’s no tomorrow.

--

Despite his arrogance and sharp tongue, even despite his greed, when faced with kindness, this man immediately becomes awkward and confused. Stammering and eyes darting with suspicion as though he genuinely believes that no one could possibly be kind without any ulterior motives. He also is quite reckless, often getting into trouble with either authority or fellow people. Many times because of his own lies collapsing on himself.

--

If you manage to become his friend, well, first off, good job. And second, you will find quickly that he’d much rather him die than them, though this may also be because of his nihilistic nature. Nevertheless, he’s still a great friend. Someone’s being mean to you? He’ll probably have a few words for them. Would he actually fight someone though... Not unless the other started it or if he was just that mad, he prefers to keep violence as a last resort. Though he’ll gladly carve into the school walls for his friends, sometimes quite literally.

--

Food and money is the way to the guy’s heart, apparently. Though he’s a hopeless romantic in all actuality, just the thought of someone that doesn’t care how he is, just the thought of being able to be himself is something he dwells on for long periods of time. And this is probably due to how fake he acts, always loud and arrogant, always showing off and getting into trouble... But never actually being him. The insecure and nihilistic boy that doesn’t understand why no one ever wanted him.

--

Despite his obvious ego and nihilistic views, he absolutely fears being forgotten by the people he cares about. Not only does he fear it though, he expects it to happen. If he were to talk to someone about it, he’d talk about it as if he’s accepted the fact. But he’s terrified of it nonetheless, he doesn’t want it to happen, he just knows it most likely will.

--

He’s also someone that tries to trick himself into believing that he’s fine. He’s someone that tries to be an optimist in front of others but always ends up being a pessimist literally anywhere else.

--

Despite the fact that he lies… A lot… He values honesty from others. Especially from those he considers friends. It doesn’t mean that he’ll be honest with them, but it does mean that if they know something or learn something that concerns him in any way. That’s his business in any way. He doesn’t want to be kept in the dark.

--

He tends to show himself as a confident, talkative prick; as mentioned in the first paragraph. As you probably have realized though, this is false. This is nowhere near to the truth. Now, you may remember me mentioning insecurities. And this is where I shall explain those and how they manifest.

--

The first(and biggest) insecurity is that he is going to die and no one will even notice, and that no one will even care if they do. This is connected to that deep rooted fear that I mentioned earlier. Just like the fear, he’s accepted that he will die someday, and that when that day comes… No one will notice, no one will care, no one will cry or shout or deny. It will happen and there will be no consequences to it at all. He tries to not let himself think about it too much.

--

The second insecurity, and one that plays into the first one, is that no one wants his company more so that they want him to do something that needs to be done for them. Something that he’s noticed in the past is that as soon as he’s done with a job or favor or promise, the person immediately drops all contact with him. So trust and actual deep connections with people are not something he has.

--

The third insecurity I’ll be explaining is the last one(Well, it’s not his last one, it’s just the last one I’ll be talking about.) He knows he seems talkative and loud most of the time, and he knows that that’s what people expect of him. And he thinks that since that’s what people expect of him, that that’s what people want from him whenever they hang out with him or talk to him.


Likes: Sleeping/Napping, Winning, Jokes, Music, Money, Nicknames, and Food(If only there was a love category).


Dislikes: Large Crowds, Stuck-ups, Small/Enclosed Spaces, Being Completely/Utterly Alone, Entitled/Rich People, Going Hungry, and Losing.


Strengths: Aim, Playing 12-String Banjo, Parkour, Stamina, Lying, Stealing, Flexible, and Observant.


Weaknesses: Paranoid, Alcoholic, Swimming(He can’t), Nihilistic, Awkward, Insecure, Addictive Smoker, and A Bit Selfish.


Fears: Well, as much as he says that he’s afraid of nothing- He’s probably afraid of deep water(Mild to Severe Thalassophobia), or dying. Or, well, not dying in and of itself, he’s had enough near death experiences to prove that. But he is afraid of what he knows will happen when he’s dead, which is him fading away into nothingness to never be remembered. Oh, and emotional intimacy. Also just Mild to Severe Claustrophobia. Mild to Severe Cleithrophobia.


/~/


Physical Health: A cough that probably won’t ever go away. It’s more of a minor annoyance to him nowadays, if not even just slightly amusing. Other than that, he’s probably severely malnourished.


Immune System: Finally! Something good! His immune system is great. Probably because of the rats and birds he’s had to eat. When he does get sick though, it’s either just a mild inconvenience or it’s really bad. There’s no in between.


Mental Health: Probably a lot of stuff that Garvin doesn’t care to know.


Allergies: Thankfully, none.


Addictions: Can we just say everything and leave it at that?


/~/


Lover(s): Nope.


Crush(es): Nope.


Ex(es): Plenty of flings, if those count. Other than that, none that actually matter.


Significant Other(s): Nope.


/~/


Trivia:

If he could afford it, he’d have even more piercings and tattoos. But he can’t, so he’s settled on being fine with what he does have. Same for a new 12-string banjo since he sold his old one years ago, if we’re being honest. But as of now, he’s more concerned with staying alive.

--

He carries a swiss knife on his person at all times, given you never know when you’d need one- He says it’s quite nice to have it. It’s also quite nice to know what all is edible in an area, or at least edible enough to not die from eating it and to stave off starvation for as long as possible. In his own humble opinion, of course.

--

Despite being a liar and a thief, he tries his best to keep promises. He hates promising or swearing that he’ll do something and then not doing it. It honestly gets on his nerves when he has to do so.

--

He recommends to everyone not to eat a dead, unwashed, uncooked bird that’s been lying on the ground for days unless they have to. Same for a raw, dead rat that’s soaking wet from rain.

--

Garvin has a certain grin he does a lot, one where you can never be sure if it’s genuine or not. It doesn’t normally matter how good at face reading someone is, even some of the best gamblers he’d met hadn’t been able to tell. But everybody knows it’s basically his signature, you see it and know it’s him immediately. Doesn’t matter how long you’d known him, it’s almost for certain you know the grin.

--

Garvin has a persistent cough that won’t leave, which he’s had for over a decade now. He’s gotten used to it, and it’s more of a slight annoyance than anything else. As for anything mental? Nothing that’s been diagnosed, since he doesn’t have the time nor money for something like that in his opinion. But his mental state is nowhere near stable, if we’re being honest. Trust issues, self-depreciation, insecurities that run so deep at this point that he doesn’t even realize he has them until someone pokes a sensitive area, touch starved, an apathy that he deals with by getting into even more trouble than he already did before, tension in his shoulders and back from needing to stay alert more than most, insomnia and near constant exhaustion for the same reason… Honestly, he’s a mess. A functional mess, sure, but still a mess.

/~/


Gender; Male.


Sexuality: Queer.


Mono/Poly/Ambi/None: Ambi.


Age; 24.


Birthday: January 20th.


Blood Type; B-.


Alignment; Lawful Neutral.


Abilities; Luck Manipulation.


/~/

Appearance;


Credit to @lof@[email protected]

Revan resides at a shorter height of 5’ 5”, though he looks 5’ 9” because of a simple thing called 4-inch heeled boots. His skin tone is ivory with yellowish undertones, which adds to his overall sicker look. He has quite a few freckles along his nose and cheeks, something he hates because they remind him of... A few things. His new tattoo of a crescent moon with a star hanging from the top of it is at their shoulder.

--

Revan has a diamond face shape, meaning he has a smaller forehead and a smaller chin, and the middle of his face is wider, the whole thing on the longer side. His cheeks are rather sunken, and he gives no reason as to why, as if he just doesn’t even notice the fact. Now for the nose, something that he’s glad about is the fact that it is an aquiline shaped nose, meaning it's the stereotypical 'normal' nose. His lips are downturned thin in shape, making confident and sly smirks/grins his most often seen expression.

--

His eyebrows are rather thin, though with the slightest of arch’s. Finally his eyes, which he hates with a burning passion, are a deepset hooded in shape, with heavy bags underneath them that are hard to ignore given the circular glasses that he has to wear due to his terrible eyesight. He has heterochromia, with his left eye being amber and the right one being shades that make it look purple, though he’ll wear colored contacts to make them both seem amber in color. His face is framed by bleached blonde hair, though you can sometimes see black (and gray) roots coming up. The back of his hair is fluffier than the front by a long shot, and the tips of all of it go just below the ears in length, the back going down to the nape of his neck. It’s usually in his face, though it's not exactly messy hair of any kind... It's pretty professional-like, though with a slight unkempt aura around it, like he made it look like that without even watching or thinking about what he was doing, which is probably the case.

--

His body structure could quickly be described as rectangular, a short torso matched with longer legs, everything about him screams lanky and maybe even bony. Especially when taking into consideration the fact that this man only weighs in at around 107 lbs, his BMI at 17.80 and being underweight by 5 pounds. He doesn’t even seem to notice the fact that he’s underweight, never giving an excuse and when he does it’s always work.

--

As for scars, he has one hidden within his hair and one at his stomach, both look years old though the stomach one does look older. He also has quite a few on his arms, though even the newest ones look to be a month or two old at this point.


Voice: Revan’s voice is near the middle when it comes to high or low, though teetering towards higher just slightly. His voice is smooth too, a practiced kind of smooth though, where it usually sounds monotonous and confident and deeper.


Handwriting: His handwriting isn’t terrible, in fact? It’s very effective. Most of the time, his handwriting is a readable print that doesn’t sway or slant or change over time. But if it’s something he doesn’t expect anyone but him to read or even see? It’s like a whole other person wrote it, and he’s been told it’s illegible multiple times.


Left/Right/Ambidextrous; Ambidextrous.


/~/


Personality:

He is a very serious person, practically refusing any and all emotional attachment. It's a fear of his, to lose someone close to him, the best way he seems to be able to not experience that is by not getting close to anyone. He's very antisocial and awkward, so don't expect too many big speeches. Though he is extremely intelligent when it comes to things like technology, math, science, and history. He will most likely end up rolling his eyes and scoffing at someone for getting a problem or equation or even, question, wrong. Even in day-to-day life with questions like, 'how do you spell something?'

--

He also has a lot of perseverance and cares for those he knows deeply, even if he won't admit it. He also seems to have quite the ego, though it's usually faked, and whenever it’s real, it’s shattered by the smallest mistake, or sometimes, even insult.

--

He tries not to let things get to him, but he's quick to anger if someone he cares for does something extremely reckless and/or they could’ve died. He’s also loyal to a fault but if something almost happens to someone he knows/cares about, he’ll cut them off from his life, even going as far as to tell them not to contact/talk him ever again, right after getting onto them for doing whatever it was, it’s how he’s lost many friends.

--

Other than that, he’s also an insomniac by choice, hating the nightmares that plague his sleep otherwise. The only time you’ll ever see him sleeping is if he passed out from exhaustion and you managed to find him wherever that happened to be at. Accompanying the insomnia, most notably, is probably the intense feelings of guilt that he tries to hide with his confident facade/front.

--

He has the tendency to put off his problems at any given time, trying to ignore them and just... Run from them... As quick as possible. He doesn't want to deal with them, doesn't want them, and doesn't feel like he should even have them. So he pushes them deep down and focuses on others problems' rather than his own. Of course, without them realizing that he’s focusing on them, obviously.


Likes: Technology, work, books, tea, coffee, researching, having his ego stroked, horses(will never admit it), solitude, and crowds.


Dislikes: Not having service, people thinking he’s dumb, people blaming him, losing people close to him, making mistakes/failure, having to do speeches, having nightmares, solitude, his mum/mentions of family, and crowds.


Strengths: Technology, Puzzles, Academic-like stuff, Lying/Keeping Secrets, Intelligence.


Weaknesses: Physical Strength, People, Socializing, Making Friends, Mourning.


Fears/Phobias: Having nightmares, mistakes/failure, being blamed, losing those he’s close to, getting close to people.

Irfam; “Knowledge, Awareness, Learning.”

Oryam; “Light, Sea.”

Ellery; “Cheerful.”


Shortened Name; Irfam.


Nickname(s); Whatever you can come up with.


/~/


Gender; Male. (Demi-Boy eventually, just so off the deep end that that’s kind of the last thing on his mind)


Sexuality; Apothi-Apresexual Demiromantic. It’s complicated, put simply. (Especially due to the hypersexuality he deals with while manic)


Mono/Ambi/Poly; Ambi, leans towards Poly.


Age; 28.


Birthday; March 19th.


Blood Type; O-.


Alignment; Chaotic Good.


Abilities;

Power Blueprint

Irfam has the ability to see someone’s ability in action and immediately have a mental blueprint for a way to simulate it. Whether that be through a weapon, implants, prosthetic limbs, armor, or some other type of tech/upgrade. Originally, these blueprints were solely mental. Nowadays, they can download the blueprints into their eye that projects blueprints holographically and use that.

--

Unexpected Success

In every situation he’s handed, he can choose to see what people expect will happen or that he’ll do and how they plan to counter it. Along with this, he can see what they would be totally unprepared for with the highest chance of success in his favor, along with how to execute it properly.

--

Fire Walls

Any ability that has to do with the brain, heart, or soul cannot get through without either their permission or hacking in. Permissions best, obviously, and the ‘fire walls’ will go down if they give it. For what is essentially hacking in, however, it isn’t that easy given what the ‘fire walls’ are. The ‘fire walls’ themselves are basically like checkpoints or barriers or guards to keep people out of their head, heart, or soul, that will alert them whenever someone tries. And of who tries. Due to their disconnected soul, their soul has slightly less fire walls than the other two(mind and heart) but still has plenty to keep most people out. Whenever the ‘fire walls’ push someone out, it is painful for the one getting pushed out.


/~/


Cybernetic Parts;

Both Eyes.

Hands to Upper Shoulders & Neck.

Blast Resistant/Bullet Proof Shields in Forearms & Around Spine.

Lungs, Stomach, Heart All Have Some Cybernetic Parts Infused.

Leg/Knee Braces.

Currently working on even more.


Appearance;


(Credits to lof@[email protected])

Irfam stands rather average at 5' 8”, though they sometimes seem 5’ 6” due to how slouched their posture is. Their skin tone is a pale color with sickly cool undertones. They have practically no freckles too, which doesn’t exactly help them seem healthier.

--

Irfam has a diamond face shape, meaning they have a smaller forehead and a smaller sharp chin, the middle of their face larger, the whole thing on the more sunken side. Now for the nose, they have a hawk shaped nose, meaning it starts the way the stereotypical normal nose would but then dips down a bit too much.

--

Their lips… Well, it’s hard to say what they once were, if we’re being honest. They’re usually grinning behind their mask though, smiling. It certainly reaches their eyes, at least. Their lips aren’t very full either, so… Thin? Not like many see them anyways though.

--

Their eyebrows are rather thin, with practically no arch at all. Finally, their cybernetic eyes are a downturned deepset hooded shape and are heterochromatic. Their left eye is an emerald green, and their right is a red color. The scleras are black and the only true way to tell that they’re cybernetic in the first place, other than the blue seams they have here and there. The green eye can alert them of when their hands are going to jerk or when their legs are going to give out on them seconds before it happens, and their red-orange one can project 3D holograms of the blueprints for their latest inventions. Both are very useful.

--

Their face is framed by thin black hair that’s usually a total mess. Bed head for days, they’ve given up on getting all of the tangles and cowlicks and craziness out of it for the time being, though it certainly isn’t as bad as it could be. They usually have their hair up in a small ponytail, and it goes down to below the shoulders(but above the middle of their back) when down.

--

Their body structure could quickly be described as rectangular. Everything about their structure screams that they’re more so built for agility than muscle, if that even. They’re much better suited for inside jobs, in all honesty. They weigh in at 115, with their BMI at 17.48, underweight by 7 pounds. Mostly because they forget meals in preference of inventing, and less meals eaten means more time with their mask on.

--

For scars… Irfam certainly has quite a few. A burn scar that goes up their right hand to the middle of their upper arm from a fire incident and them not wanting to leave behind one of their work-in-progress inventions. Plenty of small scars on both palms and fingers from their years of tinkering, along with a larger one from an incident with broken glass on their left palm. The gloves they wear usually hide those easily. They have plenty at their legs too, ones that if they are seen and asked about, a simple answer of them being from ‘incidents’ get most to assume they’re from his work too. They don’t really plan on telling anyone what the multitude of those are actually from. They also have one at their chest, it wasn’t deep, only just so for a scar to form, and it goes down the length of their sternum. Frankly, one of the only reasons it scarred was because of how long the blade of glass was there for.

--

And then, of course, the ones starting at the throat just below the chin and making their way up to right below their nose. Incidents with broken glass have caused odd ones at odd angles at their cheeks and mouth, while incidents with acid have caused the majority of other ones. Blotches at their throat from acid, places where even with their mouth closed you’d be able to see teeth and gums, and blotches at their cheeks- One particularly bad blotch at their right cheek was nearly bad enough to create a gaping hole there to see into their mouth. Luckily, the acid incident is a few years old at this point, so the risk of it doing that suddenly/randomly aren’t as high. They do have a mask that they wear practically at all times that covers all of the scars at their lower face and upper throat.

--

But, ah, let’s talk about those hands and arms again. After all, they’re cybernetic too. Though, frankly, they tend to hide them in public due to their appearance. Both hands are about 95% cybernetic, made completely by him. But flesh is tangled up in the cybernetic and makes up about 5% of his hands. A gross monstrosity that he refuses to change. Despite the twitches and flinches that his hands and arms have. And his arms aren’t much better either. Again, metal and flesh are intertwined, only now the metal makes up about 85-90% and the flesh makes up 10-15%, up to the elbows where it changes to almost completely metal again(90-97%) until the upper shoulders where it goes to mostly flesh. Where the flesh is about 85-90% and by the neck it’s practically completely flesh(95-97%). The wrist does have a small slit to where he can eat/charge using it, which is very helpful. The forearms have blast resistant shields installed in them for the more explosive experiments, and his right upper arm has small pockets to store things. His left upper arm and lower shoulder have a shoulder cannon installed in it that can come out at a moments notice, purely for self defense or to protect his inventions. The fingers of the hands have tools they can use for inventions installed in them.


Voice; Their voice, according to most people, is annoying. It’s higher pitched, a bit squeaky, somehow seems constantly hoarse no matter how much water they drink, and the diction/tone/frequency/pitch- Whatever it is! Just seems to be constantly changing. Put simply, their voice is incredibly animated and dramatic.


Handwriting; Ha, you thought this would be legible, didn’t you?! As if! Hahaha! In all seriousness though, his handwriting changes. Sometimes it’s perfectly legible, other times it looks like a small child had picked up a pencil for the first time, and sometimes these changes happen every other word. He can still read it, and though he’d never tell, he does it on purpose. His signature, surprisingly, doesn’t change each time. Instead, every letter is done in a different style of writing. He’s quite proud of his system of writing, and tends to snicker to himself whenever he writes anything. Even if it’s something extremely serious.


Left/Right/Ambidextrous; Ambidextrous.

Fears/Phobias; You think this guy is scared of anything? Haha, as if. Now why would you think that?.. Fine, he’s scared of things like every other living being. He’s very good at pretending not to be though too, and anything involving bodily harm really doesn’t fear him. Pain used to, but one of the chips in his brain solved that. Honestly, the only thing to say is losing friends or some social interactions. Oh, wait- And large crowds and public speaking to them! Just blow him up, please and thank you!

Physical Health; Sometimes he loses control of his finer motor functions. More than that, sometimes his legs give out on him.

When using their power, any weapons or powers used against Karma will simply bounce off of them and hit the attacker instead. This also works with emotions, for example, if someone says something mean to them while their power is activated, the pain that Karma would normally feel will instead be felt by the person who said the mean thing (Though Karma will also feel this later on, like a delayed reaction.)

Although Karma's power makes them basically indestructible, they can only hold it for up to ten minutes at the least, and up to an hour at the most. Their energy is also drained more the longer they hold it, so they try to win quickly.

/~/

*Cybernetic Parts;

None

Appearance;

Credit to @lof@[email protected]

Karma has a diamond-shaped face with almond-shaped eyes that are a mysterious, dark blue color. Their skin is pale and rough from years of traveling and living outdoors. Their lips are thin and in a neutral or slightly downturned position the majority of the time, and they have a kind of nervous look to them, standing with slightly slouched posture and guarded eyes. Their hair is black, shoulder-length, and constantly messy and knotted, it's often pulled back into a ponytail with a single strand left out by their cheek.

Karma is small, standing at 5'10'' and weighing 110 lbs. Their shoulders are slim and hidden by a brown, woolen cloak the majority of the time, they have a skinny, triangular build with sharp features, a pointed nose, arched eyebrows, and hands with long fingers and lots of scars. They're so small that their legs seem to make up half of their body (spider child-).

Karma's typical outfit is simple, a long-sleeved cotton shirt and normal blue jeans that are worn at the knees, cheap running shoes, and their black sweatshirt that looks like it's been dragged through the forest several times over (which it has-). They are also accompanied by dirt or dust more often than not, a smudge on their cheek or nose, and staining their shirt.

*Attire:

*Jewelry/Accessories:

Karma's ears are pierced, and it's rare that they're seen without at least a pair of earrings in.

*Voice;

Karma's voice is quiet and a little raspy, almost as though it's strained. Their tone is shakey and can be on the shrill side, though not to an unpleasant extent. They speak in a staccato way that sometimes sounds like they've split their words apart, they'll unintentionally draw out an 'S' sound sometimes, especially when they're thinking.

*Handwriting;

Karma's handwriting is very neat and is actually pretty steady the majority of the time. Their letters tend to be sharp rather than curvy, their 'V's and 'A's being very obvious. Similar to the standard font 'Times New Roman,' actually.

Left/Right/Ambidextrous;

Right-handed

*Posture:

Very slouched all the time.

/~/

Personality;

Karma's a complicated figure that not many people know well, and, honestly, not a lot of people like them right off the bat, they get very fidgety around people and have a bad habit of speaking before thinking, most of the time making rude or uncalled for comments towards the people around them. The truth is, this is a defense mechanism that Karma has developed over time, pushing people away and snapping when they get too close. It's unintentional for the most part, but still a self-preservation tactic. If people are scared of you or dislike you they won't get close, 'the less you have in the first place, the less you have to lose.'

Truth be told, Karma's really a soft-hearted person beneath the defensive wall that they've built around themself. They care about others' well-being and have a soft spot for animals, and, if you manage to get close to them somehow they become very protective around you and may even show you their hidden side, their enjoyment of music and reading, their passion for discovery, and their ideas and perspective. Once Karma finds something they're passionate about they can talk about it for hours nonstop and have trouble focusing on anything else.

Karma doesn't do well in big crowds or bright places, as they're easily overstimulated and struggle with communicating clearly and maintaining eye contact, this is also why they don't have many friends, they don't maintain or create relationships well because of a mixture of anxiety and communication struggles. Still, they managed to maintain a few close friends, who they would do anything to help and protect. They aren't a bad person in the slightest, just not too good with people.

*Blood Type;

O-

Abilities;

Sound Manipulation

Nico can manipulate sound in basically any way you can imagine. They can redirect it, make it louder or quieter, silence it completely, make it so only certain people can hear things, and make things sound different than they did initially.

/~/

*Cybernetic Parts;

None

Appearance;

(Will add picture later)

Nico is pretty relaxed in his style, they don't care too much and they don't care if others care, so what's the point?

Nico has a diamond-shaped face with pale skin and a splash of freckles across her nose. His eyes are rounded and a light green color and their hair is black, shoulder-length, and slightly wavy.

They have a smaller, more feminine frame and stand below average at only 5'5" and 120 pounds. They've got a trapezoid body shape with wider hips and shoulders, and he's relatively curvy. Typically, Nico will rock a simple t-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes, adding a sweatshirt in colder weather. Occasionally they'll put on a bit of mascara and blush, but that's about all the effort you'll get out of her. Oh, right, they do have their ears pierced, and there's a set of sun and moon earrings they're fond of.

*Attire:

*Jewelry/Accessories:

*Voice;

Nico's voice is, simply put, gorgeous. His tone is light and they speak very clearly, enunciating every word. Even when she's not singing, their voice flows well and is pretty easy to listen to. Nico's voice isn't too high, nor too low, but somehow right in the middle.

*Handwriting;

Nico's handwriting is definitely more on the sloppy side. You can usually make out what they're trying to say, but it might take some effort. His letters are big and loopy and she's the type of person to draw different shapes as the dot of an 'I.'

Left/Right/Ambidextrous;

Right-handed

*Posture:

Okay, a little slouched.

/~/

Personality;

To start off, Nico is a ball of sass. They don't like being told what to do, and they don't like being put down. He despises stereotypes and will literally slap anyone who tries to talk down on themselves or anyone else around her.

Also, Nico doesn't like being anything but independent, if someone tries to flirt with them in any way other than a joking way, they should expect a slap on the back of the head. If Nico likes someone, she'll make it very clear that that person is the only person (or, in the case of liking more than one person, those are the only people) that are allowed to flirt or make any moves on him at all.

Along with all this, Nico's humor is very sarcastic. They tease and roll their eyes quite often, and it can sometimes be hard to tell if she's actually joking or not.

Sass and teasing aside, Nico's actually a pretty nice person. They're accepting of everyone that's kind to everyone else, and he likes to help out with chores and such. She's also very protective of those he cares about and will place themselves in danger in order to protect those people. They're a good listener and will sit down to have a conversation or listen to a rant for anyone who needs it. At school, Nico is actually often called the 'the sarcastic councilor,' as she's often seen giving people a cup of coffee and listening to what they need and then, afterward, offering some form of comfort and a witty or sarcastic comment to lighten the mood. He's pretty good at making bad situations seem better, even if it's sometimes unintentional.

Nico's intelligence is on a dangerous level, but they make an effort not to show it. They don't want to be well known or recognized, they want to be overlooked with the ability to fight back when needed and surprise everyone.

They can run long math problems in their head in a matter of seconds, she's extremely skilled at finding solutions for real-world problems, and she excels at coding and decoding hidden messages and such.

Now for emotions, Nico's not too good with their own. She can help other people all day, but he simply ignores his own problems. They'll have breakdowns quite frequently, usually panic attacks or depressive episodes, but they always hide it from other people. Nico doesn't want to be seen as weak. She wants to be independent and clever. He wants to be the annoying sass ball that everyone pretends to hate and secretly loves. Not weak. Never weak.

*Likes;

- Animals
- Most people
- Hitting people over the head (it's funny, okay-)
- Making jokes and watching everyone trying to figure out if it's really a joke or not
- Being sarcastic

*Dislikes;

- Government
- People trying to tell him what to do
- Negative emotions
- Any form of abuse
- People being put down/hurt

Strengths;

- Lightening the mood
- Intelligence
- Independent (mostly)
- Reading/writing
- Math
- Socialization

Weaknesses;

- Their own emotions
- The fear of appearing weak
- Sometimes hot-headed
- Overprotective
- A little too independent

*Fears/Phobias;

Their main fear is definitely being seen as weak, but he also fears being completely alone. Oh, and spiders. Spiders are creepy. They can deal with stupid people, but they will squeal if there's a spider anywhere near her.

Gender; Male.


Sexuality: Demisexual.


Mono/Poly/Ambi/None: Ambi.


Age; 22.


Birthday: September 5th.


Blood Type; O+.


Alignment; Neutral Good.


Abilities;

Healing.

Touch based, meaning Gorōta would have to press his hand to the wound, and depending on how bad the wound is, the longer it takes to heal and the more stamina it takes to heal it. Either Gorōta’s stamina would be drained or both of the injured and Gorōta’s staminas would be drained. Meaning, if the wound is big/bad enough, passing out is something that could happen. Even more so, it means that small wounds would take about a minute or so, while bigger wounds (that run the risk of making them pass out) would take longer to heal. The healing also leaves scars, much uglier ones compared to if it was allowed to heal on its own.


/~/


Appearance;


(Credits to lof@[email protected])

Gorōta resides at a height of 6’ 0”, though his back is usually hunched to where he looks 5' 10". His skin tone is a pale bisque with neutral undertones. He has plenty of freckles on his body, though especially at his cheeks, nose, and shoulders. His new tattoo of a staff encircled by a serpent is on his upper arm, near his shoulder.

--

Gorōta has a rather oval face shape, meaning he has a smaller forehead and a smaller chin, but the middle of his face is wider, the whole thing on the smaller side. His cheeks are rather sunken despite this, and he swears that it’s just because he is always so busy, usually being said in a dismissive tone as he works. Now for the nose, something that rather dislikes, he has a hawk shaped nose, meaning it starts off the same way a ‘normal’ nose would, and then goes off the deep end at a slight angle, the tip of it a bit lower than the nasals. His lips are downturned thin in shape, making slight, timid frowns as his most often seen expression.

--

His eyebrows are rather thin, though with a slight arch. Despite them being thin and rather straight, the right eyebrow has a scar that starts a bit above the eyebrow to a bit under his eye. Finally, his eyes, the right of which he hates with a burning passion, they are deepset hooded in shape and a dark gray in color at his left one. His right eye is missing, leaving only a socket that he prefers people would just not ask about. His face is framed by black hair that is most often found messy and in his face, the tips of all of it going just below the ears in length, the back going down to the nape of his neck.

--

His body structure could quickly be described as rectangular, a long torso matched with long legs, everything about him screams lanky. Especially when taking into consideration the fact that this man only weighs in at around 122 lbs, his BMI at 16.54 and being underweight by 15 pounds. He doesn’t even seem to notice the fact that he’s underweight, dismissing attempts to tell him by stating that he’s busy. He also sports quite a few scars too, the most prominent one is at his right eye and basically covers the entire eye in scar tissue, the other ones are mostly on his arms. Though, there is one at his neck, that he leaves completely unexplained, just like all his other ones too.


Voice: Gorōta’s voice is on the higher side of the spectrum, not screechy or gravelly, but quiet and holding back. It’s what many people would think a scared voice would sound like, but it’s just his regular one.


Handwriting: Not terrible, though definitely not the best either. At least it’s legible? He does not know cursive, thank you very much random stranger who thought he was writing in cursive.


Left/Right/Ambidextrous; Left-Handed.


/~/


Personality:

Gorōta is not the type of person someone would see as a people person. Stuttering with practically any sentence unless he starts ranting, and he can’t tell any social cues apart. He also ends up fidgeting under any type of stare, refusing to make any eye contact. He can also be jumpy around new people, and will often try giving nervous chuckles out to try and calm his own nerves, the tactic never really working.

--

Within friend groups, he is seen as the peacemaker, always trying to keep everyone from killing each other and keep fights from happening. Despite his awkward and timid outlook, he hates hearing people fight and yell, so he’ll try to keep that from happening at any costs. Despite having his own problems to deal with, he’ll put his friends’ problems above his own and try to help them through theirs before even trying to acknowledge his own.

--

Paranoia is something extremely obvious when it comes to Gorōta. Preferring to be prepared for anything, he’ll often think about absolutely anything that could go wrong, no matter how unrealistic it is. Due to this, he can oftentimes be found pacing while stroking his chin like a madman trying to think. Due to this paranoia of his, he’s more likely to lie right off the bat and then regret doing so immediately, but be unable to admit the truth because of his timid nature.

--

He’s stubborn when it comes to basically anything, even with his awkward nature. Though, he’s easily intimidated and if you scare him enough, he’ll back off. But usually, it’ll take more than just some yelling and staring to scare him enough. Because when he really sets his mind on something, it’s more likely that raising a hand at him or getting into his personal space will get his attention.

--

He's very rooted in fear, and maybe some subconscious level of shame. It's hard for him to believe everything will be okay or that he's actually good enough for the people around him. He tends to put anyone else before himself, even if he doesn't necessarily like them, just because he sees their lives as more important than his own. He has a very, 'I probably won't achieve anything as great as everyone else, so why even bother?' sort of outlook. He tends to think of himself as helpless, hopeless, and cowardly. Not really ever seeing(or looking for) the good in himself.

--

He puts helping in front of everything, no matter what. No matter how he feels about someone, or how they may have treated him- If they're hurt, he's not going to leave them behind or let them die. He'd rather save a villain then let them die, even if it means they'll kill him instead. This carries over for the people he cares about, though he often beats himself up about how in the heat of a moment- He'll freeze up, unable to move and do anything if the need arises. He would love to say that he'd take a bullet for a friend, but his freeze reaction makes that impossible. And he hates himself for it, because if he could? If he didn't freeze? He'd be catching bullets for strangers or literal murderers even.

/~/


Appearance:


(Credit to @lof@[email protected])

All in all, Simon is taller than most people, though he certainly knows plenty that are taller than he is. That being said, he’s about 5’ 11” and weighs approximately 140 with his BMI at a healthy 19.52. He is not made for battle, anyone that sees him can understand that. He is not built to fight. His skin is fair, with barely a hint to a tan, given how little he tends to stay outside for any length of time. He also has an absurd amount of freckles decorating his skin.

--

His eyes are almond shaped and deepset, and his right eye(the one that isn’t blind) is a purple color. He has thinner eyebrows than his sister, but overall they’re about average. His hair is a pinkish-reddish color. Orderly and perfectly presentable at all times. It’s kept slicked and styled, mostly out of his face and short. Always.

--

As for scars, he doesn’t actually have all that many. He knew not to pick a fight that he couldn’t win, and he kept away from anything that could result in punishment. Really, the only scars he has are ones at his left eye, and they look just as bad as the day he got them, jagged and intercrossing. Well, those scars, and two burn scars. One at his left arm that spans from his hand to slightly above his elbow. The other at his torso and right side. He also has a few here and there from fights where he hadn’t been able to dodge fast enough or where Anna hadn’t been able to block it in time. Though, they’re all minor and barely noticeable at all.


Voice; Charismatic, smooth, deep, and usually fast paced. He tends to talk faster when lying than when he’s being honest. Since he actually has to think and make a conscious effort not to lie.


Handwriting; Well, at the very least, it’s certainly legible. An elegant, neat cursive.

Appearance;


(Credit to @lof@[email protected])

Gunnar resides at a height of 6’7”, a rather intimidating height to most. Though even how he holds himself is enough to intimidate most, as he practically adds another inch with how confidently he holds himself. His skin tone is pale ivory-porcelain with neutral undertones, which adds to his overall paler, sicker look. He has almost no freckles on his body, except for one or two here and there. When it comes to piercings, Gunnar has plenty.

--

Gunnar has a diamond face shape, meaning he has a smaller forehead and a smaller chin, and the middle of his face is wider, the whole thing on the longer side. His cheeks are on the slimmer side. Now for the nose, something that he’s glad about is the fact that he has an aquiline shaped nose, meaning he has the stereotypical 'normal' nose. His lips are downturned in shape, with thin, pressed lines as his resting expressions.

--

Khorne’s eyebrows are rather thick in thickness, with a rather obvious arch, both with scars going through them so that the hair there doesn’t grow anymore. Finally its eyes, these are a deepset hooded. Its eyes are a bright bloody red, with heavy eye bags underneath. Its face is framed by wavy, blood red hair that matches its eyes in color. Once upon a time, its hair had reached its hips in length. Nowadays though, its hair is kept short, even shaved in the back up to the atlas bone in order to show off the scar there.

--

Its body structure could quickly be described as rectangular, everything about it screams that it’s forged for strength and power. Especially when taking into consideration the fact that this weapon weighs at around 160 lbs, its BMI at a somewhat unhealthy 18.02, underweight by 5 pounds, though the weight it does have is mostly due to its muscle mass and height alone. Not that it would ever complain about its weight, it’s thankful for everything it does get the privilege of having, every meal allowed is a blessing. Its fingernails are rather long and sharp, something it takes pride in. They mean it can attack someone with just its claws if it has to, after all.

--

Now for the ‘fun’ part… Scars. Khorne has plenty of scars. It has one that goes from under the right corner of its lip and up through them, it also has one that looks like a slash across its neck. As well as a scar that goes from the top of its left eyebrow to its hairline. It also has one across the bridge of its nose, and another going up its right chin and cheek, ending a bit beside the one at its lips, and one that’s a diagonal scar from the inner corner of its right eye and across its nose to its left cheek. It also has one going through its right eye, jagged near the bottom. It has one that goes across its forehead at an angle, really only going from its right ear to the hairline in a jaggedly curved motion. Speaking of ears, it also has some cartilage missing from either ear. It has plenty of scars littering its scalp too, though due to how short its hair is its hair doesn’t hide them as well anymore. And all of the ones covering its arms, ones that give the impression of blocking both blades and whips. Along with ones at its wrist and ankles and neck, circling them as if cuffs or collars that were too tight. And a burn scar, of a perfectly smithed sword pointing upwards, right in the small of its back. The burn also seems to have caused a small permanent dent there, in the shape of the scar. It has an identical one at its head now, at the atlas bone, the only difference being that the one at the atlas bone is smaller than the one on its back. It also has a burn scar at its left cheek, large and ugly. Not to mention the scars all along its legs similar to the ones at its arms, and the ones it also has on its torso and back that look similar too. Though, its torso, back, and neck also have scars that look like electrical burns. Its hands are also heavily calloused and scarred too, with scars and calluses of all different sizes. It also has scars extremely different from the ones already mentioned, ones that appear in plenty of different areas though tend to be near its major arteries or veins, near its major bones or organs, that are delicate. Intricate. Straight and steady and meticulous and deliberate.


Voice: A scratchy, hoarse Bass voice.


Handwriting: Very fast? He can write very fast. And it’s legible.


Left/Right/Ambidextrous; Ambidextrous.

*~*~*~*

Waking up in a cold sweat, shaking and struggling to breathe, wasn’t new. Waking up and using the hard ground of wherever he’d ended up sleeping the night before in order to sit up and figure out where he was and what was going on wasn’t new either… Except, well, he apparently wasn’t on the ground, because it was way too soft, and it wasn’t a couch because he usually ended up on the floor anyways if he’d been on one of those, and it took him way too long to actually figure out how to sit up on whatever it was he’d fallen asleep on. And by the time he did, he was blinking through whatever remained of sleep, made easier by the sheer confusion of where he was.

--

It took a few more seconds after that for him to realize that he was in an actual bed. He blinked a few more times, trying to wrack his brain for whatever he was missing from… This. Whatever this was. Shaking his head as the start of a headache, or hangover, began to set in, he tried looking at the rest of the room he was in. Which he probably should’ve done sooner, since there was another bed in here. Staring that way for a moment, he palmed his forehead to try and get his memory running again, away from the sleep that still tried to cling to him. Blinking a bit more, enough of the fog in his mind cleared for him to realize that not only was he in an actual bed, alone and with sheets and a blanket and a pillow, but he’d been waking up here for a good little bit of time. Because of a rebellion… Thing… That he’d been dragged into joining by Meg. The next thought he had was that they had food here too.

--

Shifting a bit more on the bed, which was, well… He shook his head and tried to get the feeling back to his fingers, which were still shaking, his eyes tracing the vines along his knuckles out of habit in the process. After he managed to get them to stop shaking enough that he was fairly sure that the shakiness was just from the lack of feeling in them, he took another glance around the room towards the other bed. Someone… Key was still asleep, which was good enough for him and honestly not that surprising, so he let his eyes slide over them and to the rest of the room. The next thing to catch his eyes were numbers, and after a second of looking at them his mind caught up to the fact that it was the time. Squinting his eyes through the blur of, what he decided to assume was, sleep to figure out just what the numbers were saying told him that he was up way too early but also too late to try and sleep again. Especially since he couldn’t get food yet, apparently, which he kind of thought was dumb but he wasn’t about to complain about food.

--

Technically though, didn’t he have his own stash in here anyways? He didn’t have to listen to rules about when he was able to eat… He wasn’t trying to wake up Plum though. Not yet. He didn’t want them eating his entire stash while waiting for the time to get to where they can leave the room to go eat. So it was a better idea to just wait. Which as much as he didn’t want to, it wouldn’t be that hard to do. He’d waited longer before anyways, and this time he had a comfortable bed to wait in…

--

Would him drinking wake up Cass? He had some bottles stashed in here too, and waiting in silence with a hangover, because he’d decided that the headache wasn’t from waking up the way he did, was not how he’d like to spend that time. There was a pack of cigarettes on the stand next to the bed he was on too, though he didn’t really feel like messing with a lighter that seemed to never want to work in order to light one right now. Which meant that drinking was probably his best option. Would it wake up Aki or not though? He didn’t think it would, and he honestly didn't think he cared enough at the moment for that to make him decide not to.

--

So with that in mind, he shifted to get up and grab a bottle from the stash he had. Kira was a deep enough sleeper that he was pretty sure that he didn’t need to worry about waking them up. They never tended to wake up when he got back late at night, at least. And that was plenty enough for him to decide to trust their ability to sleep through most anything right now. Other than food, since they seemed to just know when that was around. Which was fair in his opinion, since he tended to be the same way… At least… He shook his head a bit, his mind feeling like mush due to the hangover setting in, and headed towards one of the doors in the room.

--

The door led to a bathroom, which wasn’t exactly surprising. He’d been staying here for a while, so of course he already knew it was a bathroom. He was just… His mind was just a little muddy from whatever he’d done last night still. Letting himself find the stash out of habit was fine. As long as he found it, he didn’t really care all that much.

--

So, noticing that he was opening the cabinet under the sink while crouching when he thought he was still standing was fine. Especially when he saw the stash sitting near the back. Grabbing one and pulling it out was easy, though he was a bit busy trying to figure out if he’d coughed or not while moving to stand to notice that he had stood. Which was fine, since it wasn’t like he’d dropped the bottle or anything like that. The cabinet door was closed and he was out of the bathroom within a blink after that. Which was great, though the blurry numbers were a bit further ahead than he would’ve expected. Not that it mattered, just less time he had to wait for food, which was always good news.

--

He was on the bed again now, still shaking numb hands trying to open the bottle he’d grabbed. And while shaking numb hands were annoying when he was trying to open a bottle, it opened for him fairly quickly so it was fine. The taste of it was enough for his mind to clear a bit better, a burn that was easy for him to focus on along with the blurry numbers that would tell him when he’d get to eat. Though, he had to wake Kate up too, didn’t he? Waking them up a bit early might be good, just so if they tried to say no at first then he had time to convince them.

--

So half watching the time and working at the bottle he’d gotten out was how he waited, allowing himself to sort of sink into the motions since it was such a routine for him that he doubted he could mess up even if he tried.

--

And, lucky him, he was proven right about that as he blinked back into his muddy focus as the blurry time shifted to a good 6:55. Which was probably as good a time as any to wake Cassy up. So he went about shifting so he could stand if he wanted to and sat the bottle down on the stand next to the pack of cigarettes.

--

Looking over at Amber, he paused for a second and spoke, a grin in place. “Aye, Aquila, food’s in 5 so I’d go ‘head an’ wake up.

*~*~*~*

Irfam ‘Ellie’ Oryam Ellery | M | 28 | O- | Apothi-Apres-Demi/Ambi | Power Blueprint-Unexpected Success-Fire Walls | Mentions; Duane, Pewter, Kostas (Ind)

*~*~*~*

Irfam had never liked mornings. He just wasn’t a morning person. Never had been. Mornings were the worst, it wasn’t his fault. Admittedly though, he was pretty sure he hated mornings a lot more than he used to. So… Things fester with time or whatever. Probably. He wasn’t too sure. He should probably be getting out of bed though, seeing as he’d been laying in resentful silence of mornings for a good little bit already… He didn’t want to do that though.

--

Instead of that, Irfam groaned and turned in his bed, fully content on pretending he was still asleep in order to bypass the terrible time that was the AM. He wondered why it was called AM, what did it even stand for?… Unfortunately, he didn’t get to think about that for very long as he rolled into something hard as he turned. Blinking and looking over told him that he’d rolled into Duane. Which was stupid because how dare that rock find a way to his bedroom? And in his bed for that matter! What if he rolled in his sleep and Duane ended up stabbing through wires? There was so much that could go wrong there! But no, Duane wanted to sit on his bed while he slept and consequently pretended to be asleep.

--

Apparently though, despite moving to his bed, Duane didn’t want to move off just because Irfam was staring at them. Instead, the dumb rock decided to speak. Or, at least, the voice that had to be the rock’s because there was no other option for who Duane could possibly be decided to speak in that stupid British accent.

--

You need to get up, Irfam, you have a whole day ahead of you.

--

Now, just to clarify. Irfam didn’t think the British accent was dumb, he apologized to any British people that had somehow read his mind in that moment and now hated him and thought he was dumb in response, if there were any. He just thought that the accent was dumb for a rock to have. More than that, he mostly just thought that Duane was dumb. And why wouldn't he? The rock was ruining a perfectly terrible morning that Irfam was trying to waste and or miss!

--

Deciding he had to retaliate against that, Irfam rolled back over with a huff. Which was an amazing idea and nothing bad happened to anyone because of it. Obviously. Other than forcing him to stare at the clock as he waited, which would only slow down time and make the stupid morning longer. Duane hadn’t gotten the memo that he wasn’t going to listen though apparently, continuing to talk to him.

--

You said you’d meet with that Kostas again today. He might show up in the morning. Wouldn’t you rather already be up by then?

--

Irfam narrowed his eyes, turning just enough to glare at Duane, whispering a response as if that would make sure no one else realized he was awake yet. “What happened to you wanting me to get more sleep?” Without waiting for a reply, he turned back to continue pretending to be asleep.

--

For a few blissful seconds, or as blissful as the morning could ever be, there was silence. And then it was ruined, this time by bright yellow eyes popping up into his line. Luckily, it was accompanied by the rest of Pewter’s head and weren’t just disembodied yellow eyes.

--

You’re awake.

--

Irfam blinked at him, waiting for anything else the cat might say, and then responded, polite as ever, “You don’t say.

--

Suffice to say, Pewter didn’t look amused. Instead the cat jumped up onto the bed, and Irfam bristled. Apparently, no one had any respect for his bed and the fact that it was his. For a moment though, nothing was said, Pewter just walked wherever he wanted and did whatever he wanted. Apparently. Very annoying. And then Irfam heard a thud and he rolled around in a split second, about to ask what happened only to realize that Pewter had knocked Duane off the bed.

--

For a moment, Irfam stared at the now empty spot before looking at Pewter. And while he wasn’t sure what he’d been meaning to say, “What’s AM stand for?” Was probably not on the list. Not that he’d complain, he did want to know. He’d been wondering about it before Duane was rude enough to be on his bed and now that Duane was gone, it was probably only right to go back to that topic. Right?

--

Pewter didn’t seem interested, but he still answered. “It’s latin, idiot.

--

Grimacing, Irfam sat up, giving up on his quest to waste time. “I know that, Pewter. But—

--

You know that you’re an idiot? I should hope you do.” Still, Pewter seemed disinterested, maybe a bit hopeful for once if anything.

--

Crossing his arms and huffing, Irfam shook his head. “No! And don’t interrupt me! I know that it’s latin.

--

Pity, and here I was hoping that you’d finally come to terms with your stupidity.” As he spoke, Pewter almost seemed disappointed now. Still just as uninterested. It was annoying, in Irfam’s opinion. Scowling, Irfam went to speak again, only for Pewter to beat him to it. “Perhaps you should go ahead and put on that mask of yours. That face is doing you no favors.

--

Recoiling, Irfam sputtered for a moment, one hand already out feeling for the mask at the reminder, “That’s- That’s totally unrelated, Pewter. And uncalled for! What if someone said that to you?

--

If I looked like you, I’d probably thank them. Or I’d have already finished the job. Either one…” Pewter’s head tilted, eyes staring through him as he continued to feel around for his mask, seeming much more invested in his answer now. “Why haven’t you been able to finish the job yet? Too stupid to figure out a way to do it? Too much of a coward, perhaps?

--

Irfam stopped feeling around for his mask for a moment, fixing Pewter with a hard glare before moving to shove the cat off his bed. Unfortunately, he jumped off on his own instead and strolled out of the room. Huffing in frustration, Irfam turned his attention to finding his mask to put on before he tried to follow.

--

Turned out— Actually looking at the nightstand made it easier to find his mask. Which he promptly grabbed and put on, glancing around the room for his cane and ignoring whatever random things lied on the ground as he did so. The leg braces worked, he knew they did. They worked rather well, actually, but they also only helped to keep him from falling. Not actually walking, yet, and he’d rather have his cane on him in case. The last thing he needed was to lose motion while working with time sensitive materials with other people nearby. And he wasn’t sure how nearby anyone else was, so… He grabbed the cane he’d spotted on the ground and got up to start the day. A last glance at his clock told him that he hadn’t gotten anywhere close to his goal of missing the morning completely, with instead a fun 7:05 staring back at him. Highly annoying. Condemning himself to have to deal with a morning, Irfam made his way out of his room.

*~*~*~*

Gorōta ‘Rotor’ Sanae Ryuugo | M | 22 | O+ | Demi/Ambi | Healing | Mentions; Hanu

*~*~*~*

Getting woken up to the sound of something crashing onto the ground nearby wasn’t something that Gorōta enjoyed, but it was something that he’d gotten surprisingly used to. Which, with that being said, was how he was woken up now. To the sound of something, or more likely someone, making contact with the ground. It always went the same when it happened, and this time was no different either. As soon as the sound reached him and he woke up, he was scrambling to move, heart lurching and blood pumping in the brief moment of terror.

--

As usual, the sound had come from Hanu falling off of his bed on the other side of the room. And if Gorōta had to guess, it was likely that he’d had a nightmare. If the way Hanu scrambled to sit up, looking just as terrified as he had felt a few seconds ago was anything to go by. And as frequent as this happened, as frequent as they both had nightmares, Gorōta was fairly confident that he was able to tell by now. So, he shifted himself off of his bed, deciding to disregard changing the current patch he was wearing in favor of trying to help out where he could, he made his way towards Hanu, careful to clearly telegraph what he was doing. He stopped just in front of his friend, sitting there on the floor and slowly reaching out his hand, palm up and out where it could be seen, to tap the top of Hanu’s right knee.

--

Immediately, Hanu’s flighty eyes were focused on him and he took the opportunity to exaggerate one of his breaths, tapping his friend’s right knee for each second as he breathed in for four seconds. And then continuing to tap for each second as he held it for seven, and still tapping each second as he exhaled for eight. The moment recognition came into Hanu’s eyes and he started trying to follow along, trying to fix his panicked breathing, Gorōta gave what he hoped was a comforting smile. There was no real way for him to know if it was, but Hanu tried to return it and that meant it was good enough.

--

Getting his friend to a normal breathing rate took the same few minutes it usually took, spent in silent tapping to keep track where a panicked brain wouldn't want to. Frankly, Gorōta was mostly glad he was any help at all. In the few seconds of silence after the fact, he shifted back to give Hanu more space, and the other pushed himself up off the ground before reaching out a hand for him, a smile awkwardly in place and tone just a bit too forced.

--

Well, that was a bummer start to the morning, wasn’t it, Gorōta?

--

Still, he took Hanu’s hand and allowed him to pull him off the ground too with a small equally awkward smile and half shrug in response to the question. Then he brought up his other hand and gave it a slight wave as a way to say kind of without having to worry about talking. As much as he wanted to say it wasn’t, or agree but offer comfort because Hanu couldn’t control having nightmares… The slight genuine laugh he got at his response to his friends’ question was enough for now.

--

I guess that’s fair…

--

At the trailing end, Gorōta tilted his head and narrowed his eyes, only for Hanu to immediately look back over at him, a grin spreading on his face.

--

Apparently we have pretty good timing, breakfast started like… Just now.

--

Gorōta, in an attempt to hide the settling nausea at the mention of food, turned to look at the clock in the room to see bright glowing numbers telling him it was now seven in the morning. Which was kind of annoying, since he knew he couldn’t keep getting out of eating given how Hanu had started being concerned enough about it to mention it to Daiji the last time they’d seen him. Trying to think of an excuse, he turned back to his friend and pointed at the patch he still needed to change. If he was lucky, Hanu would just go without him assuming he just had to change it first. Hopefully that would be enough time to figure out something else.

Karma ‘Kam’ Bravo | NB | 24 | AB- | Pan | Ambi | Boomerang | M: Kostas (Dir.)

Karma woke in a panic, gasping for air and clawing at the sheets of their bed. The remnants of their nightmare lingered, tauntingly flashing unwanted images in their mind.

It was hard to breathe. Hard to do anything but just sit there and cower. So that's what Karma did, curling into a tight ball and digging their nails harshly into the skin of their arms.

“Karma…”

The voice was faint, barely audible amidst the chaos of their mind, but, somewhere in it all, a little flash of recognition appeared, encouraging Karma to look up, the feeling grew when there was a light tapping beside them. They ignored it.

“Karma, it's a… Kostas…”

Kostas. They knew that name.

Very slowly, Karma looked up and, after a moment, calmed slightly at the familiar, kind face. They reached out slightly and were immediately pulled into Kostas's chest. Their boyfriend held them tightly, applying grounding pressure and rocking back and forth gently. He didn't speak, giving Karma time to sort through their thoughts and compartmentalize while still making it clear through touch that he wasn't leaving.

They weren't sure how long it took, but, eventually, Karma calmed and pulled back, wiping their eyes as Kostas released them and watched carefully.

“Color?” Kostas’s voice was soft and calm.

“Yellow.” Karma breathed, still shakily gathering themselves.

“Okay,” Kostas responded. “What do you need?”

It took them a moment to think of an accurate answer before they shrugged. “Just… don't leave. Can we stay here?”

Kostas nodded. “We’ve got plenty of time.” He said gently, reaching out to brush some tears from Karma's cheeks.

A few more minutes passed before Kostas got up and crossed the room to grab the black jacket hanging by the door and handed it to Karma, who took it and immediately slipped it on, earning a soft smile from Kostas. The jacket used to be Kostas's, but, a few weeks after the two of them met, Kos offered it to Karma as both a peace offering and a useful gift and it quickly became a comfort item.

“Color?” Kostas questioned again, brown eyes warm and soft.

“Green.” Karma replied quietly, now recovered with the quiet support of their partner.

Kostas smiled gently and leaned down to press a soft kiss to Karma's forehead, letting his hand linger on their cheek for a moment after. “Good. Do you want to eat?”

Karma nodded before hesitating for a second. “Sorry.” They mumbled, looking down.

They didn't have to look up to know that Kostas was shaking his head. “No need to be sorry, it's not your fault. And I don't mind helping.” His voice was flat as usual, but Karma had been with him for long enough to recognize the slight affection that managed to slip through even the power-induced shield of Kostas's mind. They would never understand how they managed to earn that reaction. They sure as hell didn't deserve it.

Still, they looked up and smiled slightly. “Yeah, thanks.”

Kostas nodded. “Always. Now, I'm going to get ready.”

Karma took in a breath and nodded, rising to get ready as well before heading to the kitchen at 7:05. Time for another day of hell, but, at least hell was a little better with Kostas around.

Kostas ‘Kos’ Osborne | Male | 25 | A+ | Ace-Pan | Ambi | Mind | M: Karma (Dir.)

Kostas was jolted awake at around 6:30 A.M. by frantic movement and gasping beside him. It didn't take him long to recognize what was happening, and he reacted quickly, sitting up and backing against the wall to avoid making contact. Karma had rolled themselves into a small ball, digging their nails deeply into their arm, shaking violently. Kostas's stomach rolled slightly, but they remained calm as usual.

“Karma,” He was careful to keep his voice quiet and steady. Not that that was hard, considering that was the most natural way for his voice to be anyway. Then, they carefully tapped the bed beside Karma, careful not to actually touch them at all. “You're safe, it's okay.” Karma seemed to pause slightly but otherwise didn't respond. Kostas sighed, waiting another moment before trying again. Karma, it's alright. You're safe, I promise, it's me, Kostas, okay? Can you hear me?”

A second later, dark blue eyes looked up, misty at first before slowly clearing. Karma reached a hand out and Kostas immediately reacted, pulling his partner close to his chest and beginning to rock gently from side to side. He made sure to apply a lot of pressure, aware that it helped Karma the best in these situations.

About five minutes later, Karma pushed back and Kostas released them quickly, watching their face cautiously. They seemed collected enough to be able to comprehend and communicate now, so Kostas decided to ask a question.

“Color?”

“Yellow.” Karma was shaky, but the answer was immediate, which was a good sign.

“Okay, what do you need?”

Karma went silent for a moment before answering. “Just… don't leave. Can we stay here?”

Kostas nodded without even checking the time. It didn't matter what time it really was anyway, Karma was more important than breakfast, and they could always find a snack if necessary. “We've got plenty of time.”

Then, Kostas reached out to brush some stray tears from Karma's cheeks before he sat back and simply allowed Karma time and space to process. Sometimes, that was the most he could do.

After about five minutes, Karma's shoulders relaxed slightly and Kostas rose to retrieve his former jacket, handing it over to Karma who took it and relaxed further almost immediately.

“Color?” He questioned again.

“Green.”

That coaxed a small smile from Kostas and he placed a gentle kiss on Karma's forehead, allowing his hand to linger for a moment. “Good. Do you want to eat?”

Karma nodded but hesitated, causing Kostas to pause.

“Sorry.”

The word was barely more than a whisper, but a slight tug of sadness pulled at Kostas's gut. “No need to be sorry, it's not your fault. And I don't mind helping.”

Karma looked up again and smiled and the small flicker of emotion melted away, replaced by the usual calm static. “Yeah, thanks.”

“Always. Now, I'm going to get ready.”

Karma didn't speak again, but the shuffling behind him, as he made his way to the small bathroom, told him that his partner was in agreeance about what to do.

‘Good’, Kostas thought, ‘and thank god they’re okay again’.

Akira ‘Kira’ Casimir Toivo | NB | 21 | B- | Demi-Omni | Ambi | Strategize | M: Garvin, Nico (Dir/Ind.)

Aye, Aquila, food’s in 5 so I’d go ‘head an’ wake up.

As soon as Akira's tired brain managed to put together the word "food" their eyes were open. For a moment, everything was a little blurry as exaughstion continued tugging at Kira's very soul, but, after maybe a minute, they processed their surroundings.

Garvin was across from them, watching with his normal grin on his face. Huffing quietly, Akira pushed themselves up, grimacing slightly at their protesting bones, and flashed a smile of their own.

"Thanks. Mornin'!"

They took in the fact that a newly opened bottle sat on Garvin's night stand, accompanied by a pack of cigarettes. Probably a bad night then, or a bad morning... Maybe both.

Still, Kira didn't mention it, instead opting to stand up and offer a hand to help Garvin up as well, still smiling. "Right, well, we wouldn't wanna miss the bes' part of the day, would we? Ya good ta go?"

And, yeah, missing breakfast would be a crime, but the question was also a quiet attempt to gauge Garvin's current state. They weren't too good at feelings and shit, but, if necessary, Aki would make an attempt to keep conversations light and act as a quick cover up for their friend. Not that Garvin really needed it, the guy was definitely skilled in keeping bad things practically invisible and joking about pretty much everything, but, Akira also knew a particular person by the name of Nico who was extremely skilled in picking up even the smallest of things, especially with people they cared about, which currently included both Garvin and Akira. That said, a little backup couldn't hurt.

Ingall ‘Angel’ Dara Featherlight | Male | 22 | B- | Demi-Pan | Ambi | Enticing Voice | M: Simon (ind.)

Ingall woke early as usual, probably long before anyone else was even stirring. The clock only read 4:30 A.M. as Gall slipped out of bed quietly and headed to the bathroom, careful not to disturb a still-sleeping Simon as he did so.

Part of the reason he got up so early was because of how long it took him to get ready. Not because of normal reasons like make-up, but rather because he felt the need to do things in a very particular way and in a very particular order.

First was a shower and a change of clothes, then hair and jewelry, then a full cleaning of the bathroom, then back to the bedroom to quietly make the bed and clean his own area. Then, after turning the bathroom light off, a quick walk around the quiet base. Then back to the bathroom to take another, shorter shower and get another change of clothes, more quick cleaning, and then, finally, time for breakfast as other people started getting up.

Most of this was unnecessary to others, but, to Ingall, it was all very intentional and all very necessary. It kept his mind just a little more at ease, a small blessing among many terrors.

Now, Ingall finished his first round of cleaning and silently stepped out of the room, heading down the dark hall to start his normal walk. He took his time, breathing deeply and taking everything in.

The walk helped by proving his paranoia incorrect. No matter where he went, Amar wasn't there. He wasn't hiding in any dark corner or lounging in a chair in the kitchen, nor was he leaning against a wall and smoking a cigarette while waiting for Gall to walk into his trap.

Amar wasn't here. Here was safe.

So Ingall walked. He walked and watched, occasionally tugging gently on the ribbon around his wrist or reaching up to touch his tree necklace, smiling faintly at the familiarity of the items. Stability. Control.

The mornings were always nice. The walks were always nice.

Unfortunately, the rest of the days usually weren't.

As Ingall headed back to his room, the first of the early risers started to show, and by the time that Ingall finished his second shower and light cleaning, the clock read 7:00 A.M. exactly, so, with a calming, deep breath, Gall made his way toward the kitchen.

Sol ‘Sunny’ Loyal Clie | Genderfluid | 28 | A- | Demi-Andro | Ambi | Astral Projection | M: Savannah, Kano (Dir.)

Sol sat quietly in bed, eyes skimming a book in the lamplight illuminating the room. Kano was still asleep across from them, their soft breathing steady and calming. On Sol's lap, Rosemary lay curled up, purring contentedly as Sol ran a hand through her fur.

"Sol!"

Blinking tiredly, Sol looked up, smiling slightly at the sight of Savannah peering at him from the edge of their bed. Still, he made a slight waving motion with their hand, shooing her away.

"Later, Savy," He whispered. "Kano's sleeping now."

The little girl pouted, walking around the bed and pulling herself up to sit next to Sol.

"Whatcha readin'?"

They shrugged, flashing the title to her. In all honesty, he hadn't been paying much attention to the content of the book anyway, more so just using it to stay awake.

"Looks boring," Savy stated, crossing her arms.

"It is," Sol admitted, lacing down as Rosemary flicked her ears in response to their voice. "But it does its job."

"Nuh-uh." Savannah protested. "It keeps you from doing your job! You promised to play with me!"

"I will. After Kano wakes up though, okay? They get grouchy without sleep."

"They're always grouchy! Ginny says so."

"Ginny doesn't like Kano." Sol protested. "She doesn't count."

"But she has reason, right?"

"No, she just doesn't like people."

"She doesn't like your people. You should just make better friends."

Sol sighed and shook their head, reaching out to continue petting Rosemary. "I like my friends."

"Okay," Savy huffed, jumping down from the bed again. "Imma come back later. We need to play!"

"Okay."

Another hour passed before Kano stirred, grumbling under their breath as they sat up. Their green hair was a mess atop their head and Sol smiled softly.

"Good morning."

"'Morning," Kano mumbled sleepily, rubbing their eyes rather harshly. "No sleep for you?"

"Were you woken by screaming?"

"Fair."

Yawning, Kano rose and shuffled to the bathroom, returning after a second with a brush in hand to walk over to Sol, or, rather, Rosemary, whom they reached down to stroke gently.

"'Morning, furball." They said fondly, grinning as the cat meowed quietly and blinked up with amber eyes. "Good girl. How'd you sleep?"

"Just splendidly," Sol responded in a high-pitched voice. "Thank you!"

They both chuckled and Kano shook their head. "Good. Well then, let's get you fed and me and Sol will head out for breakfast, hm?" They turned back to Sol. "I've got to go into town today, you comin'?"

Sol shrugged, putting his book down. "I'll go wherever I'm needed. I'll ask around first though."

Kano nodded. "Sure. Just let me know, I gotta leave at 10:00 A.M."

"I will."

After that, the two proceeded to get ready, occasionally throwing an affectionate word to Rosemary as they did so, and, once all was done, they headed to the kitchen to grab some breakfast. Normally, Rosemary was allowed to follow Sol everywhere, mostly in case of an unexpected attack or breakdown, but Kano and Sol had decided against letting her around at overly populated times such as breakfast or lunch, mostly just to avoid a shit-ton of attention. Plus, they tended to be together at these times, so if something happened, Kano could take over without much of a problem.

Or, at least, that was the hope.

Nico ‘Niki’ Cosmos | Agender | 24 | O- | Queer | Ambi | Sound Manipulation | M: River, Adiar, Garvin, Akira, Briar (Dir/Ind.)

Nico woke up slowly, blinking and rubbing his eyes to push away the fog clouding their vision. River lay beside her, blue eyes watching as Nico stirred, a soft smile touching their lips as their fingers gently brushed over Nico's arm.

"Good morning, darling." Their voice was soft and warm and Nico couldn't help but smile back tiredly.

"Hey," They mumbled back. "How're you?"

"Alive." River replied, chuckling slightly. "But we should probably get up, hm? You know how Adiar is about being on time."

"Sure."

Nico rolled out of bed, watching in mild awe as River followed gracefully, long limbs unfolding neatly to land them on the floor with immediately perfect posture. Shaking their head slightly, Nico grabbed some clothes and changed quickly, hearing River do the same behind him. When they were both ready, they headed down the hall to the kitchen, both approaching silently and waiting for Adiar to acknowledge them.

"Oh, good. You're up." Nico smiled slightly and dipped their head as Adiar looked up at them. It was a good day then, he thought. Since Adiar wasn't immediately yelling or lashing out. "I made food. Eat and then we'll go. I don't have particular tasks for you today, so you'll go to the base and do whatever's needed around there. Just make sure your phones are on."

Scratch that. It was a great day. No particular tasks meant that Nico could find Garvin, Briar, and Akira and tag along with whatever they were doing. And it meant that she didn't have to worry too much about Adiar except for the check-in call every couple of hours. That was great!

Their smile widened, turning more genuine as they sat down to eat. Beside them, he could see River flashing an unusual genuine smile of their own.

"Thank you, Adiar." They said softly, bowing their head to eat.

"Sure." Adiar replied, voice void of emotion. "Just be careful."

"We will!" Nico replied quickly, knowing well that Adiar didn't mean what most people meant by 'be careful.' His 'be careful' didn't mean 'be safe,' but, rather 'don't do anything that would piss me off.' And, honestly, that could be rather easily avoided as long as the check-in calls were answered and she was careful with what information they relayed to him.

Starting off great, Nico thought. A set up for a genuinely good day!
