Name: Alexander Howell
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Appearance
With his blue eyes always focused on finding that perfect shot Alexander seems to have an almost support role appearance. When he moves his body seems to flow in one single movement. When concentrating he is like a statue in his rigidness. He keeps his hair short so it doesn’t get in the way of his eyes. Standing up straight without shoes he measures at 5’11”. When dealing with others he gives them their worth by looking at them in the eyes. A notable feature on his body are the tattoos littered about. Next to ink is a scar or other from of conflict induced injury. The tattoos show date time and conflict that corresponds with the injury; like a time line of the events him and his camera have seen and witnessed.
Personality
Alexander holds order and systematic patters as very important in his outer life. He puts a lot of energy into identifying the best way for getting things done and done well, while continually working to define what he values as important. This desire for tradition seems to lead his life; however, Alexander is more spontaneous when dealing with issues involving his own personal life. He can been seen as somewhat of a stray in his choices and movements. Never taking a job that would lead him back to somewhere he has already been to before he usually takes on things as they come with a mild shrug as if to say ‘I don’t know why’.
This way of moving forward has rarely lead him down the wrong path in his eyes, and as such Alexander holds a great deal of faith in his intuition. Even when outside voices and facts tell him to do something different he will still follow his gut feeling. Often times this can include putting himself in danger or stressful situations. He has wide view of the world in that he has seen a lot of bad and a lot of good. This view point seems to give him a leg up when reading both people and situations. Like putting together a puzzle Alexander’s mind is very adept at putting people, places, and conflicts into sense that others normally can’t fully understand or predict.
Some have classified him as having an almost psychic nature about him and stories. His gut leading him to where the conflicts starts or begins. This is of course a pile of cow chips though when asked, even in joke form, Alexander simply smiles and has a laugh with the group. Mostly due to a high about amount of personal protection over his identity and a large amount of self awareness. Not some much a cold fish as a simple observer this man is a deep and complex individual. He holds himself back, keeping to himself and his camera while in most situations. This can make people often misread him as an antisocial person.
When he gets close to people it is not something he holds lightly. Becoming a friend of Alexander is just like becoming family. Concerned for people’s feelings and actively trying to avoid hurting anyone Alexander takes on his emotions and issues. Instead pushing them inward on himself causing high amounts of stress, and in some cases actual bodily harm such as high blood pressure and numbness. Alexander does not welcome violence yet, he will resort to it when he feels it is necessary. You should beware this because when he aims he aims to kill.
History
Born into a orbiting mining depot Alexander was the son of a deputy director working for a large shipping company and a mother who worked as a communications specialist. Growing up was comfortable for him since both his parents were well educated and employed. His ‘home world’ would be best described as a orbiting office building. The whole thing was paid for and supplied by Planet Express, one of the leading shipping companies in known space. With excellent schooling and some helpful tutoring from his family He grew into a bright young college student who was accepted into a well funded and recognized University.
During his first year at college Alexander had little order as far as his studies. Having come from a place with structure and patterns the new freedom college offered was almost to much for him and it showed in his grades. After the first two quarters Alexander was placed on academic probation. Applauded by his sons performance Alexander’s father pulled the plug on his sons tuition payments, forcing him to come back home. His family gave him a choice. Either he starts working for Planet Express at a low end job for the rest of his life or he helps pay for the rest of his school by part timing at a near by station.
Picking the part time job Alexander started working two shifts every weekend while he returned to school. This small change was just what he needed. Having most of his weekends booked he was forced to study early. His grades began to climb almost immediately. The next hurdle; however, had already started to show its ugly head. Alexander still had no idea what he really wanted to do with his life. He found his answer during one weekend at his part time job.
Working a late shift he had been finishing the papers for a charity shipment that was being sent to a planet currently engaged in a civil war. Having followed his fathers habits Alexander read the paper at least once every two days. As such he was well informed on the current conflict. Going from the supplies being sent and remembering the actual knowledge he knew Alexander was appalled by the complete lack of usable items people were sending. Seeing things like playing cards and even a nice set of curtains in the donation Alexander couldn't understand.
The next day he went to the school for journalism and asked to see the editor. In a lengthy talk with the head editor of the schools international events column Alexander was told by a very brilliant student that “Words can be skimmed but a picture can burn into a persons soul.” Since the school didn’t want to show pictures of the conflict most people just read that there was some fighting on the planet and just headed for the fashion section or the funnies. That realization made a fire start to burn in Alexander’s body. The following week he went against his parents wishes and transferred to the journalism school. Two years later he was one of the school newspapers top photographer.
On his first off world assignment Alexander picked a union strike that was taking place on an asteroid mining colony. The issue was that the colony didn’t have adequate protection against the rocks they were working on. Having been striking for better living protection the company had started using drastic measures to quell the union workers. What they did was called ‘conflict suppression’ in their press conferences when in reality they were cutting off oxygen to sections of the colony until the people were too weak to fight.
While taking pictures of the workers striking Alexander was caught in one of the sections. Hours later he took a picture that made the front page. It showed a woman who was too weak to hold her own baby start to collapse. Around her laying on the ground unconscious were several men who had been trying to get her into a vehicle. The photo showed the true meaning of what the company coined ‘conflict extinguishing’. With his work now being published and recognized as real work Alexander started to take on more and more off world jobs. His only rule was he never went back to the same place twice.
Once done with his higher education the BA awarded student upgraded from the Universities newspaper to the big leagues pressrooms and issues. Moving towards the inner rings of civilization he got a lease on a nice one bedroom apartment that would soon seem like a ghost room to his neighbors since Alexander seemed to always be on assignment. Usually he was sent to low grade work like celebration ceremonies or feel good section work. Due to him being on the low end of the totem pole he had to crawl and work until he got a chance at something big.
On the small planet of X-Ray 867 a growing discontent for the off world laws and taxes was making the colonists start to demand more and more for exterior governments and organizations to back off. Alexander was on his way back from a commencement ceremony for some planet royalty when he got the call from his editor to take the next shuttle to X-Ray 867. It was only a small trip for him since the planet was on the way back home. After landing in the green zone he was immediately handed armor with the words PRESS in big white letters on the front and back. What his editor hadn’t told him was that he was setting down on a war zone.
The situation had rocked the whole area. In five hours the colonist had risen up and taken all but one docking city. Military and law enforcement personal were fighting to keep the green zones from being taken over. The one in the middle was Alexander. While not being a formal member of the military he was part of the off world media. That fact alone did not make him popular with the locals. Still his camera was a way for the colonists to get their side of the story seen. Making regular trips out of the green zone Alexander became a well known person on both sides.
For three months Alexander sent pictures back. Most that were printed made the section; however, only two made headline. The first was a picture of two military people standing next to their tank as two colonist were laying on the ground with bullet holes in their back. The other showed a well known colony leader about to execute a solider. Both got massive media coverage ranging from New organizations to the world wide intelligence (different from of the world wide web)
After finally leaving Alexander had become a veteran of Conflict Photography and was now able to hand select his assignments. For the past few years he has been working on the road constantly. His longest break was a three week trip to a resort planet with a woman who worked for a charity group that got medical supplies to planets in need. A few days after the two said their good byes and have never seen each other again. They still stay in touch though communication mail. He is now headed towards Ora Noc Terrol due to hearing stories about it being worst than where he was last. He had just finished with a ethnic cleansing situation.
Profession: Conflict Photographer (Specialty includes War Zones, Territory Justice Enforcement, and Social Unrest)
Inventory: Alexander travels with a backpack. It has a lucky sort of presence from him. It holds
Other: Knowing that his job was dangerous Alexander took firearms training and basic combat. Most of this training has rusted due to never wanting to actually carry a weapon; however, he does go to the firing range or fire a few with weapons he is normally surrounded by. Keeping his body physically fit is also something he makes sure to keep in check.

Name: Sean White
Age: 22
Appearance:
Personality: Sean is very apathetic towards anything to do with Vampires, Hunters, or anything to do with both of them. He is annoyed that he was born into a family where his life seemed to be all mapped out for him by the time he was 10 years old. He has never had a bad thought towards Vampires as a whole but of course has met some he didn’t like. The same could be said about humans too so as he grew up he never really made a distinction between the two. He cares little for authority but does as he is ordered to. He is quiet smart but unless he actually cares about something is unlikely to really speak up about anything. Most of the time he can be found in some lounge room reading a book or just thinking about things. This attitude has been frowned on by many, including his parents, but because of his excellent marks in training there is little they can really say. All his mother has done is talk about how she wishes her son was more of a go getter. The issue with that was Sean really had no drive to go out and kill Vampires.
History: Sean was born into a family of Vampire Hunters. Their family name is famous for their near perfect record in kills. Having been a family comprised completely of hunters for over 200 years they are some of the top level Vampire hunters in the world. Being born into this family meant Sean Was expected to become a Hunter just like his mother and father; however, Sean had a very different view on the world and, from a young age, not interested in becoming what he was born to become. Despite this he started training as soon as he was old enough and quickly became very strong. By the time he was 13 he was more than qualified to be a fully licensed Vampire Hunter. Thankfully for Sean the age restriction for becoming a hunter was 19 and until then he was only required to keep up with his training and learn as much about Vampires and human relations as possible. Sean took this mission only half serious as he still had little interest in the nightlife of the Immortals.
With his basic training complete and his life all but decided for him Sean was able to strike a deal with his mother and father. If he allowed himself to be trained by his childhood friend Gretchen for the next four years he could attend a normal public high school like the other people in the city. Thinking that it was just a phase and that Gretchen would be able to get their son to think straight Sean parents agreed. That year was the first year Sean was able to attend a normal school. He fit in quickly and was embraced by his classmates. Making friends fast and enjoying his new daily life Sean wished to keep it up but knew that for that to be allowed he would have to keep up with his training, which were becoming more and more difficult as Gretchen started to get closer and closer to her 18 birthday. When Gretchen finally turned 16 Sean thought he would be free from his training but was blindsided when he was told that since he no longer had a trainer he was going to be moved back into the community of Hunters and return to training fully to become a hunter, just like his mother and fathers for generations.
More annoyed then angry Sean did as he was told and left his happy comfortable life in the world of humans. Returning once again to the dark night life that was where a Hunter lived. He was put through extensive training from languages to advance computer skills. Often his first work out in the morning would be equivalent to what a full day of testing was to get your Hunters license. His parents pushed him harder and harder and while it did anger Sean he also started to allow himself to see the good in it. He was in great shape and on the off chance he got to go out on the town he found it very easy to have fun with people he just met. Finally when he turned 18 he was given the Hunters test and passed with one of the highest scores of all time. The only person who had a higher score in the past 20 years was Gretchen and that was because Sean refused to participate in one of the live action parts of the test where he was supposed to follow and watch a Hunter track down and kill a Vampire labeled for death by the Vampire Council.
With a new type of license now in his wallet and his training done Sean was given his choice of any field position he wanted. To the surprise of his superiors as well as his family he picked one of the slowest hunting grounds ever, the Northwest part of America. With little to no cases a year he lived a life of relative normal human. He often passed on cases that did come his way and gave them to other Hunters who were eager to leave the slow sector and more to a more action packed one. Sean on the other hand was in heaven, until got a call from James Wash telling him to report to the head office in New York in less than five hours. Knowing that orders are orders Sean packed his overnight bag that every Hunter had with them and caught the next plane to The Big Apple as soon as he could get to the airport. When he landed Sean was greeted by several high ranking members of the different Human Vampire Departments including James Wash, and also someone he did not recognize.
The man turned out to be someone important as it was Ryan who was one of the oldest members of the Vampire Council. Not sure what was going on Sean waiting until the group was along before asking what was going on. At first he had been scared that maybe his parents were killed while working but was quickly told that was not the case. What was going on was he was being reassigned to the Vampire Guardian’s where he was taking on a very special VIP. Sean was taken to one of the Vampires major houses deep in the City where he was told the situation.
He was going to become the new personal Vampire Guardian of Circe Visigoth who has been proclaimed the new Speaker of the Council. Sean was completely shocked and asked why this assignment was being given to him. At this point James Wash told him that he had been picked by the Family. Due to his extensive training they believed that he would be more then capable in protecting the new Speaker. What they also saw was that he had yet to have a single confirmed kill of any Vampire. This was very rare and seemed to spark an interest in some; however, not all were happy with this appointment due to Sean’s family history of Hunters. Many were cautious because of his family’s history and worry that Sean might take this position as a chance to take out the Speaker and start a war between Vampires and Hunters. The truth was all Sean wanted was to finish the job and get back to his nice little corner of the world where it was quiet and dull.
One Silly thing about your character: Sean loves to cook but is actually terrible at it. Since he has lived alone for some time he often cooks for himself and has now almost destroyed his sense of taste.
Other: While being trained in how to fight with many weapons, like every Hunter is, Sean found himself to enjoy the bow weapon. Due to its nonlethal quality it is never used on the field but he loves to spar with it and is very skilled at using it.
Sean also enjoys going to the pool and swimming. The lady watching is fun but mostly the relaxing quality of laying around in the sun is what draws him to the water.
His parents do not know but Sean applied for and was accepted into the University of Washington. He has been going full time by using his salary to help pay for the education. He still has no idea what he wants to do but enjoys how Collage lets him decide what he wants to learn.

Sean also enjoys going to the pool and swimming. The lady watching is fun but mostly the relaxing quality of laying around in the sun is what draws him to the water.
His parents do not know but Sean applied for and was accepted into the University of Washington. He has been going full time by using his salary to help pay for the education. He still has no idea what he wants to do but enjoys how Collage lets him decide what he wants to learn.

Angel Type: Fallen
Theme: Wrath and War
Name: Ira
Age: He looks like he is 23 but has been a holy creature for more than 6000 years.
Appearance:
With each time Ira went to earth he would receive a scare that symbolized each war that humans had waged though out their existence. This began to have a toll on Ira’s body as every time he was given a scar he would feel all the pain that war had created for mortals and it would be etched into his body so he may carry the burden of humanities self destructing nature. Standing he is about 5’11 and is between
Personality: Ira has a very cynical outlook on humans and is very quick to write them off as god’s one true mistake. He cannot understand how they can so easily throw away the freedom and life that had been given to them by their Creator. He hates how the mortal’s actions cause him to feel pain and it tortured him when he was younger. Now having grown far beyond the age of many of his kind he has learned that actions often speak louder than words. He is very untrusting to others as his times on earth have shown him that a man’s worth is only what he does at the end of the day and not what he says he will in the morning. To his fellow Fallen he is mostly quiet however to those close to him like Abaddon he will talk to on rare occasions. He will often seem board with his life as if something is missing.
History: When Ira was created he felt pain where most would feel joy. His life was meant for one of horrific violence and punishment. He was never sent down to the mortals to bring hope or healing words but instead was the seed of war and chaos. He could not understand why he was made and finally went to God and asked about his reason for existence. God would not answer him but simply told him that it was part of his will. He started to feel like a cures on humans and as the scars on his body continued to grow in number so did his vengeance on the humans. Sinking deeper and deeper into a dark empty hollow existence he soon after met Lucifer and began to listen to his poison words. Become more extreme and violent Ira soon started to become a blackness earth could not rid itself of and war constantly consumed its lands.
It was at the moment when he reached his lowest point that he met Amor. He had just come back from Earth and was still feeling the burning pain of a large scar on his back. He took one look at her and felt the pain just melt away almost instantly. By now in his life he was starting to be ignored and somewhat shunned by other angels and yet Amor paid little attention to his message and seemed almost interested in him. Talking with her and simply being around her started to soften him and he even began to not feel as much pain as he did in the past when he visited Earth. He was soon going to be completely lifted from his despair but then the war of all wars came and he was sent into the chaos he knew so well.
At the beginning of the war between Lucifer and God he did not know what to do. He had never been cured of his personal grudge against God for making him for such a purpose as war. Battling with his personal feelings for his friend and lover he approached God and comprised a deal. If he sides with God then he would give him a new message to bring to mortals. He would no longer bear the scars of humanities nature. God was not happy and in that instant also saw the love in Ira’s eyes. Enraged that his creations had broken his rule he deemed Ira a enemy of heaven and cast his angels of war on him. Fighting only to save his life Ira was pushed back even with his message by his side slaying his former brothers and sisters. Near the end he was locked in battle with Essedarius.
It wasn’t until his friend Lucifer came to his aid that he was able to escape from God’s warriors. Turning to his friend he told Lucifer what had happened and this made Lucifer worry. He had believed Ira was completely under his spell and was a great asset to his plan to over throw God. Lucifer knew of Ira’s love and also saw that it was because of Amor that he had planned to stay. Being who he was Lucifer spun a lie and told Ira that Amor would never love him as he was covered in blood and that something so pure could never be truly forgiven and loved by another.
Thrown by these words and unsure as to what the truth was Ira tried to search for his one hope of salvation but was unable to as God continued to block his path with holy fire and sacred word. Cast down at the end of the war Ira has simply lived a dark existence with killing demons that spawned from humanities wars and ruling over fallen soldiers who committed sins.
One silly thing about your character: Ira has only been seen smiling, since he became a fallen, when he reads the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.
Though they are opposites Ira thinks of Pāx as a friend because of her ability to end his pain and allow him to return to Heaven when he would go there.

PROFILE
Name: Subject DC887 or Devin Coal
Age: 25
Race: Genetically Enhanced Human
Back when humans called earth their only home they were still looking to the stars eager to explore and discover what that endless darkness is hiding. However early on they found that their bodies where way to accustomed to a solid land mass. Bone density loss and an inability to really keep a fit body made prolonged living in space extremely dangerous for someone health. It was at that moment that different governments from around the world started to experiment with genetically enhancing their own people through gene therapy. For years this went on until after a major breakthrough in mapping the human genes came and it was possible. Again for years scientist started to develop a successful process for human enhancing.
Through the years this process was finally perfected. Of course exploration wasn’t the only reason governments were funding this research. The military purposes are almost endless. Humans who can take on more pain or have increased tolerance for pain would have massive impacts on how they used soldiers and manpower. Again this went on for years and slowly was implemented in a few military instillations until a galactic ban on the researched was enacted. By now the Railton Grand Prix was just becoming popular. The test subjects were told that they were no longer experiments but now humans. Given very little as far as help they were left to their own devices to survive. It is rumored however that several test subjects were hidden from officials and that test are still going on Devin was one of those hidden.
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Origin: Planet X-Ray 34. X-ray 34 is an uncolonized military installation. Abandoned after the last war it was bought by a massive pharmaceutical company who transformed the base into a research facility for its genetic enhancement research. The planet is uninhabited due to the large gas planet it orbits. Releasing a massive amount of heat and radiation X-Ray 34 is nothing but a dead moon with no geological activity or climate. It is the perfect place for a pilot to practice high Force flight as there are massive rock pillars sticking up from the surface allowing for natural runs for people to fly through.
History: Devin was brought into this galaxy as nothing more than a research subject brought in by a large conglomerate that was striving to create the ultimate fighting machine. This means a perfect synchronization of ship and pilot. This goal they had created the building block of how the people in the program treated the subjects such as Devin. Instead of being raised as a child and given colorful building blocks he was treated as a bio weapon that needed to grow. At a young age he was given tests to see what his strengths were. His test results were some of the highest ever achieved in the program.
With his scores the program started to change for Devin. Wanting to capitalize on their new golden child the company actually altered the research to become almost completely about Devin. More funding was found and of course the best and brightest were assigned to the research and development team. It was then that Devin met Amy. Amy was a nurse attached to Devin’s private medical team. She was the first person ever to ask what his name was and since he didn’t have anything but his tag number he gave that and Amy frowned and then gave him his name. Using the first two letters in his tag as his initials and created the name Devin Coal.
Throughout the years Amy become a mother figure to Devin who still didn’t talk but started to actually show emotions by facial expressions. Seeing this as a possible contamination of the subject when Devin was 16 the company fired Amy. Meanwhile Devin was given more and more tests and actually graduated to live fire dog fighting with other subjects in the program. Not knowing until later Devin had killed several of the other test subjects during this exercises and was easily the top pilot. When he turned 17 however Devin’s life changed. In the middle of the night he was visited by Amy and told that they were leaving. Having grown attached to Devin, Amy couldn’t live with the thought of him off in that base being treated as a thing instead of the wonderful child she saw him as.
Reaching the hanger Amy told Devin to get into the small shuttle she had bribed to be waiting for them but this was not something he could do. As soon as he saw his own ship he raced over to it and got in. Seeing that much of the damage done to Devin was unable to be broken through so quickly Amy rushed over and got into the fighter with the young weapon. Blasting off and escaping the base the two started their life of running from the shadow organization that has been looking for them since their escape. A few years after running from place to place Amy found a place to hide and wanted Devin to stay with her. Having only his fighter and his skills Devin tried to adapt but found it too hard and honestly somewhat confusing.
One night when Devin was 20 years old Devin finally made his first decision on his own and left Amy. He of course wrote a note telling her he was leaving. It had nothing else but a small toy she had given him when she had first met him at the base. Taking off from the colony base and having no idea what he would do he was picked up by a low level racing team. Seeing that they were constantly moving and always flying he was able to become more adjusted as he was able to have his space while do something he was very good at. After a few years of being a part of the team he was sought out and brought to Team Valkyrie.
Personality: Devin plays his life in a very conservative way. Since his conception he had been treated as a test subject and not as a human. This has molded him into something actually not fully human. Almost robotic in action and mannerisms he will always use actions instead of words. This of course makes him come off as cold and harsh at times but he is still a team player. He takes orders well and is the kind of person who you know will get something done if you ask him. He does not know the real meaning of being a part of a team means but is able to do what is asked of him without question.
Equipment: When in the pilot seat of his ship Coal will bring with him a single food bar and a small pistol. The pistol is from the training he was taught when part of the genetics research. It of course is to be used when captured or even to use on him if the ship was beyond repair and rescue was hopeless. Other than those two items everything he brings with him while on a race is standard issue. For reasons unknown to others he hides his identify for the most part but has shown it at some events and photo shoots. No matter what however he will never take off the dog tags he wears around his neck.
Extra: Early in his testing researchers believed Devin was a mute. Since this had no real effect on his flying performance they didn’t pursue it. However it was not the case. Still to this date Devin has only said a few words totaling less than a hundred in his lifetime. He is the kind who speaks through actions and not words. However this changes when in a race. While racing Devin will become the team leader as he was given the position when he joined the team. Giving orders with simple language and with tactical thought behind them he does not respect those who can't follow them. Along with his training his own ship is also able to help lead the team to the checkered flag with its advanced AI called Blue.
SHIP PROFILE
Name: Unknown. Since Devin has not told anywhere where he got it and its creators are under classified contract no one has been able to find out what its name is. The first team he joined gave it the name Blue Star since the AI seems to call itself Blue.
Pilot: Devin Coal
Class: Attacker
Year: Completed in 9074 A.D.
Planet: Planet X-Ray 34.
Appearance:
Description: The blue cores in the ship are actually a mini man made stars that are a constant containers for the fusion reaction going on inside. It is s core of constant nuclear reactions and energy creation that gives it almost unlimited power. The beauty of it is its ability to do a burst. The two rear blue cores are able to cut the filter of the energy and allow the raw power of the ship to be unleashed. This is able to be done for about 45 seconds but in that time is almost able to match the speed of a speeder class and still use its weapons to some extent. However the downside to this is that after the burst the cores need to recharge. There is two ways for this to happen. The Blue Star can drive near a star and gather radiation and heat from the star or it can slow its speed and give the cores time to recharge by themselves. Recharge can take about two hours and during that time the speed is similar to the Crusher giving the team a lower offensive capability.
The weapons on the Blue Star are highly advanced. The three main weapons are actually two in one creations. The two wings are bladed so as to be able to stab into other attackers and a slower ship while in the middle has a laser firing capability. The range of these weapons is long enough to reach the speeders and lancers if all the weapons power is sent to the front weapon. The rear two are able to aim as it is possible to rotate them so as to cover the ships supposed blind spots. Along with the three main weapons it also has several optional attachments depending on who the team is racing. All in all the optional weapons can be geared towards attacking specific ship types like the speeder or cruiser depending on what is the biggest threat to Valkyrie's winning the race.
One other part of Blue Star that is interesting is the artificial intelligence it has housed in its on board computer. It's origins are as big a mystery as the ship. It seems to have grown from a basic computer program ever since Devin escaped with the ship back on X-Ray 34. As of now it is mostly a self learning battle type but has been steady becoming more adept at gearing its processors towards calculating ways for the team to win instead of just how to destroy other ships. In many cases Blue is the sort of go between Devin and the rest of the team as he never verbally acknowledges any orders he is given. The down side is that it seems to be getting more and more of a personality that is a bit annoying at times and will sometimes seem to get almost cocky. Devin does nothing to stop it or encourage it.
Back Story: The Blue star was actually built for Devin to pilot. This does not mean it has a custom seat has been put in to allow Devin a comfortable seat but actually customized it to him. It is not piloted by normal means but actually is linked with his brain though several advanced software systems and medical machines. It does still have a basic flight control in it but is only used when the ship is activating the burst ability as well as weapons.

Name of Student: Alexander Coal
Aliases/Codenames: Commander
Nationality: Canadian
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Brown eyes and matching hair Jason stands at about 1.70 meters. His slightly above average height is matched with a well developed and build body weighing around 59 ~ 61 Kilograms. Because of his athletically centered lifestyle he stays in shape making his body slightly tanned from field practices as well as a healthy amount of beating. The only notable injuries are a broken nose from hockey and a small scar on his left wrist from a camping accident while wood carving. His face is warm for the most part since he is usually smiling with his brown eyes looking around the room with the same insight they have in following a baseball pitch. The hair on his head is a dark brown since the sun has darkened it; however, on a sunny day you can see the more brilliant red come out.[/INDENT]
Clothing
During his time in school Alexander was required to follow a strick dress code that required all the boys to wear polo shirts and professional pants to school. After having to follow this code for years Alexander still wears the comfortable shirts, but is allowing himself some slack in the pants department as he now wears comfortable cargo pants. While being active and on the field he wears simple beathable shirts, some of which have no sleeves and some that are more skin tight. Athletic shorts are a must as well which are normally nike or addidas. Alexanders sister also heard that the Academy sometimes holds dances and forced her younger brother to get fitted for a suit which she is now having made and sent to him at the school.[/INDENT]
Personality:
Alexander is a young male and is pressured by many of the social norms that a normal adolescent male would feel. He has an ego that forces him to prove to himself and more importantly to others that he is a man. He has a feeling of being invincible when being active in sports and other activities. Somewhat dominate with his peers and head strong when confronted by wisdom and logic. He has a desire to make friends and is often pushed into the leadership position, though he normally accepts the responsibility with a slight smile.
Dealing with woman is not something Alex worries about until he actually likes the girl. Not really shy but just a little off when around his current crush can make him seem a little annoyed. Quick to push attention off himself due to normal insecurities and over thinking are his usual speed bumps. His past has given him some confidence, but the only one who can really ‘force’ him to man up and ask a girl out is his older sister. His family is one of his weaknesses as far as over reacting. When attacked Alex will become very territorial and defensive.[/INDENT]
Background:
When Alexander was born he had no blood connection to any Meta-Human living or dead. He lived a normal life with his older sister, mother, and father in a standard three bedroom and two and a half bathrooms home. His father was a lawyer for the city, and his mother was a social worker with the Canadian Government. All in all he lived a very average and normal childhood filled with grass stained jeans and first crushes. When he turned 11 his parents sent him to middle school under the assumption that he was just as normal as the family.
During his time in middle school Alexander watched his sister become a huge success down in Hollywood, and was quickly feeling like a shadow due to all the attention going to her. He was jealous of her money and fame of course, but that was mostly due to sibling rivalry. This is when he started to take sports up as an after school activity. Getting over it was tough, but the gifts his sister sent did help him slowly learn that having a rich older sister could be a good thing. Getting to travel during holiday breaks and having cool birthdays were just some of the perks he quickly grew to enjoy.
It wasn’t until he went into 8th grade that things started to happen around Alexander. Due to pressure from his parents he joined an after school club. Having already been thinking about joining a club he put his name down for the school soccer team and by the end of tryouts made it onto the B team. Going to practice after school and making new friends the whole team and the coach were amazed by the growth shown by the B team. They became faster, stronger, and better than even the A team and soon enough the two groups actually switched. Now on the varsity team with his friends Alexander and his friends took the tournament by storm and won second place. By the end of middle school Alex was no longer his little sister’s brother.
When high school came around the schools would start to shrink slightly due to some students having their powers begin to awaken. By some weird chance 6 out of the 10 students whose powers woke up were all in Alexander’s homeroom. Writing it off as a naturally crazy coincidence Alexander finished his freshman year with good grades and a still healthy social life. His plans for the summer were to go off to summer camp with some friends and have a blast. During the camp his group and a few others went out on an overnight camping trip. That overnight was possibly the biggest life changing event in Alex’s life.
A few miles away from where they were camping a group of older high school students were camping as well only their campfire included building a absurdly large fire and drink alcohol. During their drunken party the fire grew ever bigger as they tossed more and more wood on it until it finally collapsed, spilling burning logs everywhere. A fire quickly started to spread and soon the full fledge forest fire was starting to surround the mountain. By the time Alexander’s camp councilors saw the fire everyone was cut off from the trail.
With quick thinking the group started to move away from the growing danger and while keeping near a small stream moved towards a meadow where they hoped a rescue helicopter would be able to pick them up. Scared about the fire Alexander tried to stay calm as the smoke came closer and closer as time went by. It wasn't until four hours later that the fire fighters were at the mountain and another two hours that the search and rescue chopper was on the scene.
It became obvious that there just wasn’t enough room for everyone in the rescue copper. Being one of the ones left behind while the first group was let down Alexander continued to worry as the fire got closer and closer. When the chopper finally got back to the meadow it was completely surrounded by flames and smoke. It was so bad that one of the rescuers had to be put down on the ground and help everyone onto the chopper.
The fire was still pushing closer and as the fear inside Alexander continued to grow and grown he finally reached a breaking point and started to completely panic. With the fire so close it was starting to burn his skin and force him to sweat extensively his power awoke. Suddenly the whole mountain seemed to flood as the meta-humans who were trying to put the fire out got a huge energy boost. The fire fighter who had been set down watched as his water ability started shooting massive geysers of water all around the meadow.
With the boost Alexander gave the metahuman team that was helping put out the fire he and everyone else were safely rescued and sent home. After reading the reports from the different Meta-Humans an inquiry was sent to search for the reason to this abnormal event. It wasn’t until two months later that someone found the records of student’s powers awakening in Alexander’s homeroom that someone connected the dots. After some talks with special interest groups the family and government agreed that he should be tested to see if he was a metahuman.
For the next several weeks the Alexander went to a research lab where tests were he was tested for metahuman abnormalities. The first thing they noticed was that his body seemed to be in excellent shape. Still it was not enough proof to declare him a Meta. Once the blood work came back though there were no longer any questions about what Alexander was. Afterwards the research team asked Alexander if they could possibly continue with the research since his power was something never seen before in a Meta they were very eager to continue. Alexander and his family declined and later set it up that Alex would attend SuperDrops Academy. The only thing that is really bothering the young Meta is that no one can fully explain his power to him. [/INDENT]
Talents/Skills/Capabilities: Alexander is althletic and commits to both swimming, soccer, baseball, and ice hockey. Having been the captain of each team for several years he has also gained much experience being a leader and making decisions under pressure from adversaries and peers. Alexanders fathers love for history was also passed down to Alex. People skills are top notch as well.
Inventory: N/A
Powers:
Power augmentation: Ability to enhance or weaken the powers of others.
Power bestowal: Ability to bestow powers or jump-start latent powers.
Power negation: Ability to cancel the superpowers of others.
Power sensing: Ability to sense or recognize other Meta-Humans and their abilities. Alexander is only able to recognize powers that he has seen before.
Power Up: This is a power that will be discussed later when Alex's ability to control his powers has grown.
Superior Human Physic: While most of Alexander’s powers have more effects on Meta human’s powers and abilities they also can affect normal humans as well. With his active lifestyle Alexander’s own powers have slowly modified his body to become superior to a normal human. While he is stronger, faster, tougher, and healthier than a normal male his age he is not super.[/INDENT]
Weaknesses:
Because Alexander’s power is still in its infant stage he has zero control over it. Instead his power is ruled by his state of mind and physical body. In simple terms his power is controlled by instincts instead of will power. When he becomes terrified his ability will try and weaken whatever is trying to bring him harm while empower those that are trying to help him. So far only true fear for his life has been able to trigger Alexander’s power.
Secrets: Alex has an older sister who is an A list famous actress.
Aliases/Codenames: Commander
Nationality: Canadian
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Brown eyes and matching hair Jason stands at about 1.70 meters. His slightly above average height is matched with a well developed and build body weighing around 59 ~ 61 Kilograms. Because of his athletically centered lifestyle he stays in shape making his body slightly tanned from field practices as well as a healthy amount of beating. The only notable injuries are a broken nose from hockey and a small scar on his left wrist from a camping accident while wood carving. His face is warm for the most part since he is usually smiling with his brown eyes looking around the room with the same insight they have in following a baseball pitch. The hair on his head is a dark brown since the sun has darkened it; however, on a sunny day you can see the more brilliant red come out.[/INDENT]
Clothing
During his time in school Alexander was required to follow a strick dress code that required all the boys to wear polo shirts and professional pants to school. After having to follow this code for years Alexander still wears the comfortable shirts, but is allowing himself some slack in the pants department as he now wears comfortable cargo pants. While being active and on the field he wears simple beathable shirts, some of which have no sleeves and some that are more skin tight. Athletic shorts are a must as well which are normally nike or addidas. Alexanders sister also heard that the Academy sometimes holds dances and forced her younger brother to get fitted for a suit which she is now having made and sent to him at the school.[/INDENT]
Personality:
Alexander is a young male and is pressured by many of the social norms that a normal adolescent male would feel. He has an ego that forces him to prove to himself and more importantly to others that he is a man. He has a feeling of being invincible when being active in sports and other activities. Somewhat dominate with his peers and head strong when confronted by wisdom and logic. He has a desire to make friends and is often pushed into the leadership position, though he normally accepts the responsibility with a slight smile.
Dealing with woman is not something Alex worries about until he actually likes the girl. Not really shy but just a little off when around his current crush can make him seem a little annoyed. Quick to push attention off himself due to normal insecurities and over thinking are his usual speed bumps. His past has given him some confidence, but the only one who can really ‘force’ him to man up and ask a girl out is his older sister. His family is one of his weaknesses as far as over reacting. When attacked Alex will become very territorial and defensive.[/INDENT]
Background:
When Alexander was born he had no blood connection to any Meta-Human living or dead. He lived a normal life with his older sister, mother, and father in a standard three bedroom and two and a half bathrooms home. His father was a lawyer for the city, and his mother was a social worker with the Canadian Government. All in all he lived a very average and normal childhood filled with grass stained jeans and first crushes.

Re: The characters I've met during my travels.

The events of the last year have aged Gene beyond his years. His new work has kept him in fit condition and his body holds stories told though scars and wounds. The most notable is a large slash he has on his back going from his left shoulder blade to his spine. He received this wound when he turned his back on a kid while searching a small town. He had told the kid he was normal and after turning the boy slashed a stake knife against his vest. The cut wasn't that deep but the fact that it was a meat knife made the wound bad enough to scar and not completely heal over.
Name: Gene Miller
Age: 25
Personality[b/]
Independent, original, analytical, and determined all fit together to make up how Gene thinks. He has an exceptional ability to turn theories into solid plans of action. Highly values knowledge, competence, and structure. Also a long-range thinker. Gene holds himself to a very high set of standards for his performance as a leader, and the performance of others who he commands and is charged to protect. A natural leader, but he will follow existing leaders if he trusts them.
[b]Survival Story
The first encounter with the infected fir Gene was in Boston. He had been attending a job interview at a law firm when he was told his flight had been canceled due to an unknown outbreak in the outskirts of major cities including Boston. To try and contain it all flights had been grounded. Had he known then what was going on he would have likely forced his way onto a plane and forced the pilots to fly him back to Seattle; however, since he was grounded he decided to take a taxi back to the city and find a hotel room. After he checked in he went to be and woke up the next morning in what could only be described as hell on Earth. The infection had reached the city with fighting speed.
The first day was mostly a blur for Gene. After going down to the lobby he was met with a bloody scene of half bitten people trying to boarder up the buildings entrances. It was a lost cause because soon enough those with massive injuries started to slowly die and then turn on their loved ones. After narrowly avoiding a small girls thrashing teeth Gene started to try and order people to move to the upper floors. In the end he had to leave as the infected finally broke though the shanty barricades that held the infected back. Moving up to the top floor and gathering some food and filling the tub with water he holed himself up in one of the hotels nicer sweets for about a week.
After his food started to dwindle and the water stopped coming from the faucet Gene knew he had to risk the chaos outside or else he would slowly rot in his sanctuary. Armed with a nine iron and a small pack full of water and food he went out the fire escape and started climbing down towards the street level. After a week the streets were now completely under infected control; however, they were not as grouped together as they were during the initial panic. Keeping to the middle of the streets and avoiding barricades at all cost the man started to believe he was the only one left. Until he reached the docks. There was a military strong hold that had been deployed and after using the cargo lifts they had constructed a makeshift fort with the containers.
Once cleared and confirmed to not have been bitten he was allowed to enter. Turns out the small green zone had been one of the few to actual survive past three days. This was mostly due to the early use of dogs which were used to help screen people to see if they were infected. Other sites had used simple temperature readings and soon were over run from the inside out by new infected. Due to Gene’s military back ground he was reinstated and actually given his officers rank upon entering. Tasked with helping navigate small military strike squads into the greater Boston area.
After spending almost seven months in the Boston green zone Gene was again ordered to leave only this time it was for longer than a day trip. The US military was planning to try and get a clear path between the different green zones that were along the Atlantic Coast. Given the command to help lead a push southward he was given a full squad of men and tasked with forward scouting. The first few days were hard work. They had to try and clear the roads of abandoned cars, sometimes there seemed to be endless lines of them on high way exits. Most times they would have to try and find another way onto major roads which would lead them though smaller towns.
These small towns would sometimes have survivors hiding in buildings. When most saw the convoy they thought it was a rescue. Lack of supplies and ability to carry the civilians Gene was forced to enforce a no hitch rule meaning that any and all survivors were required to stay at their locations until proper rescue can be planned. The best Gene could do was plot the location of civilians on a map he had. He would mark the location and number of survivors. The number from place to place would range anywhere from a small group no more than 4 all the way up to 40+. At times people would try and force Gene to take them. These hostel actions were taken seriously and several times Gene was forced to order his men to fire warning shots.
The move south was slow all the way to New York which was supposed to have been almost completely over run by the infected. The last contact with the Green Zones were over a week old and while it was incredibly risky Gene had to venture into the metropolis due to a low supply of gas, food, water, and moral. He needed a win and that meant finding at least one of the green zones still intact. After checking each site the squad found none of the zones intact and occupied by friendly forces. Fearing the chance of slipping up in the city Gene took his men to one of the boat areas and commandeered a boat.
Four days of water travel and the group met up with massive cruise ship. Attaching themselves to it they were welcomed onto the amazingly infected free ship. Gene met with the captain and was informed that their heading was going to take them south. Eager to get his men back on the job they were tasked with he asked the leader to get him to the nearest green zone. Gene was then informed that almost all green Zones along the coast had been radio silent since three days ago. Due to their short range radios Gene and his men were never told.
The news made Gene feel helpless. With the green zones gone he was sure that all the other smaller safe houses he had met along the way to New York were looking at an indefinite wait for their rescue. Hearing that the cruise ship was heading towards Miami Gene accepted the offer to join the ship on its journey. The trip lasted only a few days and once he reached the walled city was regrouped with the military force that was in the city. His unit was broken up and he was reassigned to a new detail. Soon he started seeing the military leaders make mistake after mistake.
It wasn’t until he was approached by a man from G.A.S. That he saw a way out of the army. Since the military was sort of in charge of G.A.S. he was allowed to join the group who had been scouting him since he arrived. They wanted his expertise in leading squads though infected areas. After a full month of briefs and exercises Gene was asked to pick his own squad. Since then he has been leading the best Guardian Angel Squad with an impressive 30 percent retrieval rate. The second highest is 17 percent.
