Codename: Demon's Eye

Age: 19
Sex: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual
Favorite quote: "Hang on to your morals and die, or do what it takes to survive"

Story

Universe

In a near future, humans are beginning to evolve back to their basic instinct: survival. As such, bizarre cases have started to appear of people developing... powers... a physical reaction on the molecular level, when put under intense stress or mortal danger. The power depends on the situation, on the environment, on the mindset of the person, as well as many other factors, making it so no two powers are exactly the same. The people who develop these powers are proof of a gigantic step in the evolution of the human race, or as others seem them, simple abnormal mutants. Here is the story of one in particular:

***Warning: super depressive story ahead with lots of triggers. Do not read if sensitive to... well anything really***

Backstory

One day, or rather night, a baby girl was born. Pale, delicate skin, a few dark hairs at the top of her head, and big deep blue eyes. She was beautiful and perfect in every way; healthy, smiling and under the care of a loving young couple. However, nothing is ever really perfect. A few weeks after her birth, the baby started showing signs of an infection, and not just any infection; she had gangrene in her right eye.

The young couple was left in shock. They had to stop the infection by all means before it could affect the brain, but the risks of preforming surgery on such a young child were so great, that they feared for the life of their baby. In the end, though, they didn't have to do anything; the baby healed on its own. It was an impossible feat and yet it had been preformed.

However, the baby was not the same after that; only one of her deep blue eyes was left. The other had become so much more. Swirls of different shades of purple were in constant movement in the child's right eye, a beautiful yet disturbing sight.

The baby's parents were forced to admit what their child had become; a mutant, and at such a young age. Though, this did not matter to the couple. They had already feared losing their child once, they weren't going to simply abandon her after that.

-8 years later-

Throughout her childhood, Elena's powers became more and more apparent. She was able to see... everything. Be it details like fingerprints or a simple muscle twitch, to things scientists still reject exist, like auras. Her visual perception was 20 times more rapid than normal, and still becoming faster every year, making her able to spot a floating spec of dust. However, with her enhanced sight, all her other senses became dulled. She saw odors and sound vibrations in the air, could easily read lips and her body simply adapted in consequence.

The more Elena's power became apparent, the more she was rejected again and again by schools, doctors, children and other people in general for her difference. Yet, somehow, she managed to stayed untainted. Running around, laughing, forever loved by the only two people in the world that cared or mattered: her parents.

But then, they were taken away.

It happened one evening, while the small family was eating supper. A loud knock on the door, more demanding than asking for entry. Elena's father stood up and cautiously advanced towards the door, all the while motioning his wife to bring Elena into the other room. Elena already knew something was wrong, the dirty brown auras, a mix of red hatred and green wickedness, was seeping through the cracks of the door frame.

Hidden in the other room, Elena wasn't sure what was going on. Loud sounds were coming from the dining room, but she couldn't make out what they meant. It was only when she saw the faint wisp of red vapor in the air that she realized and yet refused to accept what was going on.

Vibrations on the hardwood floor, louder and louder, followed by three large men... one of which was covered in blood. Why were they here? What exactly had they done to her father? Elena started crying, her mother hushed her gently, the men started demanding for the young girl. Of course, her mother refused, hiding her child behind her. The mens' demands got louder, the threats more threatening, until they simply grabbed Elena's mother, her hand slipping out of the small child's grasp. It was then that Elena noticed the knife one of the men was holding; what happened next, no one, especially not a child, should ever have to witness.

That was the day Elena broke inside. The events that followed made sure she stayed that way even up until this day.

A cage. That was where the mutant haters put her, because that was what they were: mutant haters. That was why her parents were killed and that was why she spent the next 6 months of her life in a cage. All because these people hated mutants, said they weren't human.

Elena grew to like the cage. As long as she was in the cage nothing bad happened. No, the bad things happened when they took her out of the cage. Unspeakable things. They only ever took her out for tests, torture or... other deeds. She began to think this would be her life, that she would never get out. However, she did. Someone helped her, helped free her. Though even when she left that cage, that lab, she still wasn't free not yet. The men who had killed her parents were still alive, and she wouldn't be free until they weren't.

-11 years later-

In the years that followed, Elena grew stronger. An orphan, and an outcast, she grew up on the streets, doing whatever it took to survive. Everything had already been taken from her, so she didn't mind selling away the nothingness that was left. The only thing that kept her alive was her thirst for revenge. She trained herself physically, learning to fight, to use weapons, building up her endurance, and mentally, discovering and exploring the reaches of her power, the new things that appeared in her vision, as her power evolved everyday.

When all of this was over, when the men will be gone, only then will she be able to rest in peace.

Goal

However much Elena seems only built up on getting her revenge, the reality is that she's subconsciously looking for something, no matter how small, to give a meaning to her life. Something to prove that her life isn't only what she's lived up until now, that it's something more than just pain and suffering.

So long...

I'm really sorry for whoever takes the time to read all this... It got super out of hand with everything I wanted to include, plus it's really sad and depressing...

Elena is actually a character of mine I've had for a while now and I simply wanted to share. Anyway, I hope that at least some of you enjoyed that!

Name/Title: Gloria Bones/"Cutlass Rattler"

Age: 20

Abilities/Skills:

Gloria has learnt every art of weapon fighting there is on the Eastern side of the world. Her favourite though - sword fighting. At the age of 20 she has the agility and fighting experience as some men only acquire around the age of 50. She has always been told that a man will beat her with mere strength, but preparing for that day she has gone through exercises daily expanding her strength. She now can lift two men on both arms and throw them off her ship, if they dare to oppose her.

Not to mention her beauty and great curves. What man can resist a red head with blue eyes and luscious lips? None, especially when the blood of a succubus runs through her veins.
Link to external image

History

History: Gloria has always been the child everyone feared, the child that shouldn't have been born and much less - born in the human world. But so it happened that Gloria's succubus mother fell deeply in love with a man, who only loved his weapons and fighting.

As soon as she was born, Gloria's mother, Adelaide, went back to her own world, to save both of their lives. She was never seen again, but meanwhile, as soon as Gloria's little hand was able to hold anything her brute father began teaching her the art of weaponry. She was homeschooled and her education isn't complete when it would come to literature or math, but geography and history were the subjects rammed into her head. Anything that could help with learning a weapon was studied thoroughly with her father looking over her shoulder 24/7.

By the time she was 17, Gloria was sort of broken inside. She had no friends, no one except her mental father... She wasn't allowed to leave the training rooms until he was satisfied with her performance.

Gloria slept very little because she wanted to learn other things and the only time it was possible, was when her father went to the bottle and fell asleep murmuring things in his sleep. She read all the literature works she had managed to steal from the neighbouring houses. She was in love with Lucy Mode Montgomery, with the little red head that had quite a lot in common. She wished to have a friend like Ann did. But it would never happen...

On her 18th birthday she challenged her father to a duel, with no rules, with any weapons available.. It was her one time she could get rid of his rule over her.

The fight was that of a century, like two gods were fighting it out. The house where Gloria grew up slowly became a inhabitable, but the fight continued. Hours passed, none of them broke a sweat. However, Gloria knew she would be able to tire him down - she was younger, more agile, more aware of her surroundings, she listened better.

One step forward, she thought, just one more step. Her father answered this move with a step backward. And there it was. A sound from the wooden boards beneath his leg. She took the moment. She rammed her heel into the ground sending a lose board straight into his groan and she leaped forward. Straight for his heart. She never batted an eye, she was ready to see the life of this tiran sip from his eyes.

To her surprise, he smiled. He looked calm. His last words were: Gloria, Adelaide, I love you both...

And it was over. Gloria sat there and cried for half a day.
Together they had destroyed her home, she had killed her father, she had no friends, no future...

And then it seemed like time stopped for a moment as her little village seemed to blow up in flames in one second. People were running past her screaming. She barely managed to understand: Pirates!

Her furious anger, gathered over the years exploded. She had the power of 30 grizzly bears and the vicious control over men from her parents. No water scum could destroy what was her home once.

She approached the pirates unarmed, or so it seemed. They laughed at her and talked about using her for their satisfaction. But one look into Gloria's eyes and the Captain Vince was in love with her. No man from his ship ought to touch her. Gloria grimaced, but nobody noticed. Most of the pirates were too busy checking out the woman they had captured, and Gloria liked that. She approached the captain, bit into his neck and paralyzed him. She took his sword, which was sharper than anything in this village, and at the speed of light she danced with her new sword through the many pirates that were all drolling over the woman like pigs.

In seconds the ground was covered with about 20 men. Everyone in disbelief looking at the red head. She looked like a demon herself, covered in blood, her flaming hair moving in the wind. A sight no one in their lifetime could forget.

With another slick move she cut the Captain's throat and took his hat. I am your new Captain now. Captain Gloria. I am always victorious. You will obey me or die this second. Everyone who's with me - release the woman and on to the ship. We have things to do.

Goal/Ambition: To kill any pig that doesn't recognize the strength of a woman and dares to oppose her. Find every buried treasure and bring it to the closest town, in times of poverty there is no time for buried loot. People must have the chance to prosper.

Someone wrote wrote

This pirate be taking whatever they can get. Often it be the rum!

I must admit, not only sword-wielding was an inheritance from my father... I also love me some rum.

Can I just say this is such an amazing contest!

My Character (it would have taken up too much space if I didn't tag it )

Name/Title: Aimee Trahetta


Age: Nineteen


Abilities/Skills: I've know all my life that I have been different. At a young age I would be able to escape from my cot and an unexplained way, much to my parents' confusion. I would be able to pour myself a glass of milk just by using my mind. My Mum and Dad took me to a family friend, Doctor Tyler, who ran some tests. Upon a brain scan it was discovered that my brain had mutated, allowing more parts than usual to work. Although I was average when it came to intelligence, it explained why I was able to do things that others couldn't. Like moving things just by looking at them, like being able to translate a language in a second, like being able to create a force field in or around an object. And that's only a scratch on the surface. Day by day I am discovering new things that my developed mind can do. Yet I've never used my ability properly, only for simple everyday tasks like talking on the phone or changing the tv channel.


History: We found out about my abilities whilst I was still young, I think I was two or something like that. My parents were scared at first, but then they felt blessed that they had a child who was so precious. They barely told anyone about it - they wanted me to live a quiet, private life without scientists interfering - although those we did trust with the secret were scared away. I've never found out if my ability had a proper name, or even if there are any others like me, but I've always called it 'Mindotics'.

Myself, my older sister Amber (she's two years older than me) and my even older brother Kyle (he's five years older than me) had a happy childhood. We were one of the lucky ones, we came from a wealthy family so anything we wanted could be provided. We weren't spoiled though, our parents made sure we weren't. If we wanted something we had to do a simple chore, whether that was washing the Rolls Royce or preparing the vegetables for dinner, so I guess we earned our things. We were a close family, my parents loved us dearly and would do anything for us. And in return we respected them and behaved our best. I think the worst thing I ever did as a kid was steal one of those 20p sweets from the corner shop. But even then I felt so bad I took it back the next day (obviously I hadn't eaten it - I'd felt too guilty). Every year we'd take a holiday to a far away place. My favourite one was the trip to Disneyland. I met all the Disney Princesses, we stayed in the most luxurious apartment in the resort: it was as though all my dreams had come true. That was the last family holiday we took. That was the last time we were all happy. That was the last time life was simple.

When I was nine - Kyle fourteen - my brother started to go off the rails. He get involved with the wrong kind of people, joined a gang, started drinking and smoking cannabis. Mum and Dad went ballistic when they found out but that only made the situation worse, causing Kyle to storm out of the house the night they'd confronted him. He'd been leaving home late at night a lot of the time, but he'd always be back by the early hours of the morning. Yet that night in particular he didn't return. Or the next night. Or the next. He's still missing to this day...

Of course there was a full scale police investigation, which tore the family apart. Mum and Dad starting arguing, which meant Amber took more control over looking after me. Everyone was distraught and lacking sleep, only wishing that Kyle would return home so the pieces could all be put together again. After a month of investigations Mum was diagnosed with depression: at first she was given a therapist, but when Mum fell into an even deeper pit of despair she was given medication. They caused her to spend most of her time sleeping, which was almost more torturous as visions of Kyle haunted her. She'd often wake up in the night screaming, panicking me and often leading to going to Amber's room and sharing her bed. But then one night Mum didn't wake up screaming, she didn't wake up in the morning either. Never again.

The medical report said her heart had given up. She'd suffered so much in the past couple of months she just couldn't cope anymore. Which lead to Dad breaking.

Before he'd tried to be the rock of the family, occasionally remembering he had children other than Kyle by cooking them beans on toast for tea. But after Mum's death he lost it completely; he'd loved her deeply for thirty years and now she'd gone. He spent what money was left after paying for Mum's health bills on drinking. He'd be out til late, drinking away his sorrows, now leaving Amber completely in charge. She became my rock, the only thing supporting me through my living nightmare. She got a job at the age of twelve, being the only person bringing in money since Dad got fired from his (he stopped going to work so they had no choice).

One night Amber and I were sat on the sofa watching Cinderella when the phone started ringing. As the voice whispered into Amber's ears she fell to the floor, tearing rolling out of her eyes. I was unaware of what had happened but I ran to my sister anyway, throwing my arms around her in an attempt to comfort her. When she came off the phone, through the tears she told me that Dad wasn't coming home and then I shared her pain.

I now know that he was so drunk he couldn't drive properly; he crashed into another car with a family inside. All involved with the collision died.

My world crashed, and descended into a pit of hell.

We were both taken into emergency foster care, being split up as no one wanted to look after two orphans. Dr. Tyler couldn't take us in; she was abroad completing research and nobody could contact her. It was too hard to believe that a year ago we'd been happy in Disneyland. The worst part was that for ages I blamed myself, unable to use my ability to prevent any of it from happening.

The moment Amber turned sixteen she rented a small flat with what little money had been left to her (what Dad had not yet spent before he passed) and took me in. We'd barely seen in each other for those four years; our foster placements were in completely different areas. And let's face it, no one really listens to what two orphans want.

Amber told me how understanding her foster family had been when she'd been so depressed, how well they had treated her like their own. In turn I told her how annoyed my temporary family had become when I was constantly crying, how they'd punished me if I didn't stop.

A lot had happened since my sister and I had last met. She'd changed her hair colour, I'd fallen pregnant (I really can't be bothered to explain how or why though)

It was said that I was unemotionally stable to return to school at that time, although I consistently disagreed. So I stayed at home until I was experiencing the worst pain ever, when I was rushed into hospital.

I gave birth - still only fourteen - to the most beautiful little girl I had ever seen. I held her in my arms as she stretched a starfish hand, brushing against my face. I could already tell she was going to have red hair which is why I named her Ruby. With a final loving glance I handed her to Amber, who was going to be her Mother.

We had agreed that it would be best for everyone if Amber was to fully adopt the baby; it would allow me to return to school and live a normal life without the strain of having to look after a small human being. I couldn't even look after my pet rabbit when I was six. It was also understood that the baby would never find out that I was her real mother.

And that's what happened.

I went to live with Dr. Tyler for a while. I couldn't bear to be at home, watching Amber raise my beautiful Ruby. But I still visited them every weekend, and I phoned every night. Amber was wary of sending me back to live with a foster family, but I pointed out that Dr. Tyler had been a friend of our parents since they were in high school, and that she could be trusted.

So I lived with her until I was eighteen - and yeah they were happy times, Dr. Tyler became a second Mum to me - until I went off to university where I shared a flat with Gemma, a girl I'd been friends with since I was fifteen. She knows about my Mindotics, and is one of the only people who hasn't been freaked out my it. If anything, she asks questions about it and is eager to learn more.

I'm nineteen now, and in my second year of my psychology degree. The other week I had a phone call from Amber, who was crying just as hard as when our Dad died. She explained what had happened, and as quick as a flash I ran out of the flat, and caught a train to Amber's.

I burst through the door, running around the house checking to make sure she had been speaking the truth. And she had. So then I went to the hospital.

Men with guns had broken into the house, threatening to shoot Amber if she didn't hand Ruby - now five - to them. Of course she didn't (over the five years she had grown to love Ruby as her own daughter) she shielded Ruby from them. So they did shoot. They shot her twice in the leg and once in the stomach. As Amber fell to the floor two men lunged and grabbed Ruby. Amber saw her kicking, heard her screaming but there was nothing she could do. She fell unconscious.

There was a note in her pocket: if we called the police they would kill Ruby

I threw my arms around my sister, knowing that she had always done what she could to look after Ruby. But now I'm taking over.

I'm going to find my daughter.


Goal/Ambition: My only goal now is to find Ruby and tell her the truth about me. And if I find that they have hurt my daughter, I swear to God I will kill them. Each and every one of them.

Picture:

Name: Scylla

Age: 18

Abilities/Skills: The power to control water, I can even make it fly!

Goal/Ambition: What else would it be! I want to know how they made me like this and who was smart enough to do it. Then maybe find out what happened to my friends.

History:

My real name isn't important, I might be blue but please let me have some privacy! Call me Scylla, it was the name given to me by the men that gave me my powers. I know they tell you to stay away from human testing and people that stand on street corners, but rules are something I laugh at.

My eyes where green, skin was pale and my hair was an irritating brown, I hated it. Me and my friends where just messing around one day and some men came up to us asking if we wanted some money to go shopping... They even bribed me with the idea of a bleach strong enough to turn my hair blonde, so that was good enough for me! Not all of us went but some did. We arrived at a building, to get in we walked down the stairs into the basement. I was laughing with excitement while the two friends that had joined me seemed to be a little scared? I didn't care.

We where all taken to different rooms, I was strapped to a table and it began. It didn't hurt. Maybe it did I can't remember but when I woke up I was in a bath and my skin looked blue. At first I just thought it was just paint or something, I was more concerned about being in the bath with no clothes on. I jumped up and walked around searching for someone but nothing... If anything I'd have guessed the house had been submerged underwater for a while before being lifted out like sunken treasure.

Clothes! Finally. I found them and put them on, laughing a little bit. I always had loved a good haunted house and this was more or less that even fake corpses! At least I persuaded myself they where fake. That was it, I walked away from the building and made my way home finding out later what had really happened... Lets just say my house looked like the one I had left by the next morning.

History

Gloria traveled for a few years and at one point reached a land, where everyone had small squinted eyes, a land of great culture. But as fate had it planned, she reached it just as some great group had decided to conquer it. Gloria felt enraged at the people, who couldn't live happily with what they had... they needed to be put down.

Gloria gathered all her best men and equipped all the possible weapons. And one by one she slaughtered all the pigs in sight. It was easy to set them apart from the foreigners, but it was harder for the locals. They couldn't understand whom to attack, but it wasn't a problem because Gloria and her crew quickly dealt with the thousand men trying to demolish all the beauty on the land.

When the great battle was over Gloria finally looked around carefully and noticed the greatest building on this side of the epic land. She ordered her men to follow her, not to touch anything and hide all the weapons in a way no one would feel endangered.

Her heels clacking she approached the gate and it was already opened, same with the first door to the building. However, something nudged her to take another route, to a garden what seemed. There was a little fountain, a pond and a lot of weird plants, with almost no flowers. Various calming noises came from around, the pond was filled with the brightest fish Gloria had ever seen. She ordered the men to stand at the gate and bow down to anyone who would approach, weapons could only be used if they were attacked - anyone who had disobeyed would suffer thoroughly.

She noticed a shadow moving behind, what seemed a paper door. She quickly pushed it aside to reveal a scared little girl. At no point did she open her eyes and Gloria asked who she was. A little voice came from her, the first words were not understandable, then an apology came and she said she was a princess. The English she spoke was very weak with a weird accent. But Gloria knew this would be the only person to understand what was going to happen and where she was.

After an hour of discussion Gloria found out that the little girl was Reina, a princess of this town, blind since birth, but her visions helped her understand how things looked. She had seen the evil men coming, but didn't expect a friendly hand to appear before her. She was expecting to die, or even worse - be enslaved. Both girls felt that even with the age gap they would be inseparable for the rest of their lives. 

The girl quickly stood up, told Gloria to take off her... shoes... she would soon learn the names of many different items her teachers never have seen before. Gloria was surprised at how much wise people had and still live here to input such great knowledge over such a small and innocent creature.

Reina presented Gloria to her father as the Saviour of their town. He had no reason no to believe his daughter, when she was there alongside a foreigner. He could feel something different coming from Gloria, something that made her respectable, lovable but feared even more. Soon he was interrupted by Reina to state the fact that his beloved, blind daughter will be leaving him. That had been her destiny - to acquire as much knowledge as possible to assist Gloria in her attempt to better this world.

She surprised him by saying that mother would bare another child, which would be the next king and help the country bloom beyond what is imaginable.

Reina's father made 15 best warriors to go with both girls just to be safe, and packed the ship with as many goods as they could afford. All this time Gloria was thorn between two worlds, this land filled with culture and love for family and knowledge; and the one that has been full of terror, anger and fighting. She didn't want to leave, but a little nudge on her arm dragged her back to the reality - the blind little friend, which seemed to fill the gap in her life that was empty since she could remember.

The biggest journey of their lives would begin when they would depart the port. Another soul to protect would weigh on Gloria's heart, slightly slowing her down, but adding greater things than comprehensible.

Goal: Use her powers and great knowledge to make the world better. To heal Gloria and help her let go of her anger, and for now teach her to control it.

Sidekick

Name: Scott Mahone


Age: 22


Abilities/Skills: He has no abilities in particular, however he is quite intelligent and a good judge of character, which I guess could come in handy.


Background: I've known Scott for a couple of years now. He's Amber's boyfriend. Yeah, I guess he's nice. He always tries to make me laugh (which can be quite a challenge) and is always smiling. He treats Amber like a lady, so I guess he proves that not all men are jerks.

As I was explaining to Amber that I was going to get Ruby, Scott came running into the room, his black hair bouncing and eyes wide with fear. He didn't know what had happened, only that his dear girl friend had been emitted into hospital with 'life threatening' injuries. He was really concerned, which I guess was quite cute. But all I could really think about was Ruby.

Together me and Amber explained to him what had happened, including Ruby's kidnapping. He was shocked, and demanded that we went immediately to the police. I solemnly showed him the note the men had left, and he grimaced.

Amber explained that I was going after them to get Ruby back, and Scott's eyes lit up. He said he was coming with me - he wanted to help get 'Amber's daughter' back and take on the role of the knight in shining armour.

I said how dangerous it would be: he didn't care. He simply ran back home, packed a bag, kissed Amber goodbye and then we left.


Goal: I guess he's helping Amber to be honest. He's under the impression that Ruby's her daughter so wants to help her, which means he has to work with me. He always wants to prove how much he loves Amber, I suppose...

Picture:

Name: Misery Evans

Age: 19

Abilities/Skills: I feed on the happiness of people and turn their joy into what makes them most sad... I know its not much of a skill but I always win the fights. I also know some hand to hand combat but as you can imagine its not needed, once I touch them they just drop down like flies to poison.

Goal/Ambition: I'm not looking for revenge to the people that made me this way. But if I had to pick one it would be to save Scylla. She saved me from myself, so I want to repay her when the time is right.

Background/History:

I don't remember happiness, I just remember needles, tubes and the pain. I remember the day the FBI destroyed the place I had knew my entire life and I remember hiding till the gun fire had ended and everyone had left. I sat rotting for a few days wondering what to do, so one night a took a walk and that was the night I met her.

I walked across a bridge and seen the water, so much water. I liked how the moon reflected on it, so I climbed onto the edge and sat staring without a thought crossing my mind. I think this is what bliss must be like. Then I could hear sirens and it looked like people where trying to talk to me... I didn't care, I sat ignoring them, the water seemed to be shouting louder at me than any of the people could have been. I stood up and smiled for the first time considering my options I decided I would join the water and so I jumped.

I hit the water... I hit it almost instantly.

I looked down to see that the water had risen to see me, I then sat up and turned around to see a blue girl holding out her hands as she asked my name she had the biggest smile that could be possible of anyone to make. "You probably don't want to do that, so I decided that I would bring the water to you, nobody gets hurt that way!". Now it seemed she was reaching out for me, she seemed so nice... I didn't want to hurt her, so I stepped back.

Before I could fall she clung to my arms and threw me onto the bridge, I couldn't help but let out a gasp... How did she stay standing... She was so happy, did she even feel my powers? "Do you see all the people near the flashing lights? They all thought you where going to try and off yourself, everyone was so worried!". I just laughed. Why would the care if one person vanished? Not that it would hurt me anyway.

She helped me stand and told me her name, when I told her mine she laughed and hugged me so tight it felt like my scars would burst open, it hurt but in a good way. After talking for what seemed like hours she said she had to go home and asked if she could walk me home... I told her what had been of my life the past few days and then she offered me a bed at her home, warning that it may be a little water logged.

I admire how happy she is, there is something about it that makes my mind comfortable.

Story

**Warning: super depressive story ahead with lots of triggers. Do not read if sensitive... to anything really**

Backstory

On a cold winter night in Russia, a small child was dropped in front of an orphanage. Only a few weeks old, with no sign of where it came from, the orphanage caretakers took in the child just as they had all the others. The child was given a name: Alex.

Years passed and the child grew into a young and turbulent girl with bright red hair. She was a prankster, a thief and someone who, already at such a young age, loved to defy authority and do things her own way. She even began calling herself Axelle simply because it "sounded cooler". However, if that wasn't enough, the caretakers discovered soon enough that she also had a very severe case of pyromania, the day she set her bed on fire and simply watched it burn. All of this led to her staying at the orphanage while others came and went. This didn't bother her though; she came to consider the orphanage as her home and the caretakers and other children as her family.

Of course, an orphanage is never the richest place in a city, so Axelle took it upon herself to bring happiness to the younger ones. She became a thief at first for the thrill, but then, as she got better, she used her skills to bring back stuff of all kinds to the younger children at the orphanage. She would sneak out to downtown at night when the adults were sleeping.

It was a few years later, during one of these runs that she discovered her mutant ability. One of the little orphan girls, who had just arrived recently, got curious about Axelle's midnight outings, and decided to follow. However, a shriek stopped her in her tracks. Instinct kicked in, and what happened next was only a blur. However, she remembered fighting... someone who was armed. And then... fire. Red and yellow, hot, burning, crippling flames... that shot out of her hands...

She was a mutant. A mutant with the most mesmerizing power she could think of.

Time went on, the little girl had been saved, but Axelle's new found ability didn't help her chance at adoption. So she stayed at the orphanage, the oldest child there now, at the age of 15. That was when she got her first girlfriend. A blonde girl named Jane. She was very sweet, and all that Axelle could wish for, since she didn't have many friends. Everything was perfect for a while. And then the fire happened.

Axelle had went out one night with, a nice diner for two. It was only on their way back that she noticed something was wrong. There was smoke, coming from the direction of the orphanage. The thick, black smoke of a burning building. Axelle ran, then stopped in her tracks.

So big, so hot... Even the great distance that still separated her from her home couldn't keep the heat away. The flames... they flickered, moving in time with the slight breeze. Axelle couldn't move, her eyes stuck on the orphanage. But she could hear. The screams that cried for help, that cried in pain... 'Do something!!' Axelle demanded herself. Yet, she couldn't move, could barely breathe... the flames took all her attention as she simply stood there.

When the fire was finally put out, it was already too late. And when Axelle came back into focus, realizing the entirety of the situation, all she could see was Jane, on her knees crying.

"I'm sorry..."

What? Had Axelle heard correctly?

"I'm so, so sorry..." Jane repeated again, shaking her head in disbelief.

Axelle grabbed the girl by the collar demanding what she had done. She had sold information about Axelle and her power. The orphanage had been burned down because they were looking for HER.

-3 years later-

After that, Axelle refused to use her powers, her pyromania now linked with her trauma, making the memory of that night so much worse knowing she would have had the power to stop it... to at least save SOMEONE... if it were't for the fact that her power was also her greatest temptation. She now lives without trust in anyone, keeping up her laughing, joking, rebel façade, flirting and laying with everyone in proximity trying to forget the one that betrayed her. She tried to start a new life, stowing away on a boat headed for America and dying her hair constantly to hide the fiery red shade. That is when she met Elena: It all started with a little flirt with what only seemed like a pretty girl.

Goal

Axelle's ultimate goal is to honor those who died, as such, she searches to do as much good in the world that she can. Convincing Elena that revenge is not worth it and that she should move on is Axelle newest goal.

History

Background:
What can be more beautiful than saving a young unmarried princess, to get married with her and live off all the fortune her family has. However, Gloria never looked for an easy and peaceful life, and she in fact had already saved a princess and now it was time to help all the rest - the less fortunate ones.

At one point Reina commanded to turn the ship to north. There we would meet an important part of our lives.  No one dared to oppose her and the ship took a sharp turn to the unknown and cold. Gloria had spent a lot of time sort of reflecting, not talking, so Reina had to mostly do all the ordering around, even with her blindness standing in the way. She didn't disturb Gloria though, while they all had time, she needed to fix herself up emotionally.

As they approached the port everyone noticed that something was different. The vibe and aura was sort of distorted, filled with a feeling that you are never alone. Someone was always watching you, endangering your very existence. The most unimaginable creatures were glooming around corners of the city gate or chained in cages - trying to snap at the people passing by. Scaled creatures with teeth bigger than a dining table knife at least. And no one wanted to find out how sharp they were.

Gloria took her sharpest weapon and with a little group, including Reina, went into the city. The first thing was to find the leader of this place and talk with them, ask if there are any problems. After that Reina would guide Gloria to the place of urgency.

A big, fat, hideous woman, dressed in coats with fur, stumbled before them, biting on a very big, cooked animal leg. All the grease was running down her double chin and on to the amazing coats, spoiling everything she could. Everyone bowed their heads, in fear, trembling. Gloria felt a spark start up, she didn't like this type of commanding. You are as strong as your people are, not how much you can take away from them... Reina took Gloria's hand and squeezed it, just so she would concentrate at the matter at hand. Later they could deal with the unfairness upon these people.

The ruler spoke in a language Gloria couldn't understand, but Reina was quick to translate, getting better at it with months going by. She knew all the languages they had stumbled upon. The woman wanted the foreigners off her lands as soon as possible, she seemed too fond with her position. A little man came from behind her and bowed very deeply, from what Reina understood, he was the husband of this beast. Everyone exchanged glances of disgust, Gloria liked strong women, but she was not strong, just fat, too fat.

The little man begged the foreigners to help kill some of the monsters. They had increased their numbers and this town didn't have fighters. And at one point something suspicious skipped the little man's lips - his first wife's daughter Helen had been killed by these monsters and the body wasn't found. The fat woman smacked her husband on the head and told him not to bother foreigners with silly things, they didn't care of that silly creature.

Gloria knew the girl was alive, and the one who wanted her dead was this disgusting woman. She made Reina thank them for the information and give some treasures to the woman, so she would be distracted for a long time. Her last little pleasures on this world. She and a couple of men headed out in the directions Reina had pointed out. After an hour on the way and slaying multiple of these vicious beast she found a little pit. And everyone heard the screams of a girl, as everyone ran to it, you could see 2 of the beasts chasing a girl. Gloria shouted Helen's name and the girl looked up, costing her another snap at her legs, a hole in her pants. It seemed she had been here for a long time. Almost no clothes on her, no shoes, just a hat that had luckily stayed intact - the sun couldn't do as much damage. It was cold here, but the sun in the middle of the day could be dangerous.

Gloria jumped into the pit and slayed the beasts with a few swipes of her sword, at the exact moment Helen collapsed. Her feet were almost black, covered in old blood from running so much on the rough ground. Gloria picked her up in her arms and took the rope her subordinates had already thrown down the pit. They pulled her up and headed for the town. At no point did Gloria let the girl go, no matter how many times the men offered to help. Tears were dripping down Gloria's cheeks - a father that couldn't save or help his daughter was not something she could understand. He was just as punishable as the woman at the town, but she couldn't take the only family Helen had.

The men took back as many dead corpses of the creatures as they could, as proof and for food or skin - whatever the citizens needed. Reina called the woman out to look at what had been brought back. As she scanned the pile of dead skins a smile grew on her face, but then she met Gloria's eyes and noticed the little person in her arms. Her smiled turned to frown, her eyes seemed like they would pop out of their sockets, she started shaking in anger. As she was about to turn to run away, one of Reina's men slashed her limbs, not allowing her to run. She squealed like a pig, crying for help from her people and her husband. No one moved a finger or batted an eye - they watched her suffer. Only the children were sent away.

Reina came to Gloria with a man, who was a doctor as she explained. He quickly examined Helen and with struggles removed her from Gloria's tight grip. They would clean her up, and together with the help from Reina - she would be saved. Otherwise, she would have died today or tomorrow.

Gloria went to the woman and by her hair she dragged her far into the woods. No one found her and no one saw a sign from her, no matter how many tried to find something. What Gloria did that day no one knew, she dug it into her heart and closed it off - to never recall that moment. That part of her heart would never heal, it would stay black.

When Gloria returned the little man dropped on his knees in front of her and bowed millions of times. She looked at him with despise for a few moments, but then she moved on, he would have to fix everything if it meant costing his life and soul. She changed her look and offered him her hand to help him get up.

The riches of the town were distributed to the people equally. All the brave men and strong boys were put in a school Reina had designed - to teach them how to fight and use weapons. The men from her home town would do a great job and Gloria wouldn't have to bother with it. Meanwhile, Reina taught the oldest men how to run the town, about economy and strategic thinking - how to make the land around them to give the optimal results.

While Helen was getting better Gloria didn't leave her side, she helped the doctors to clean everything and slowly learnt how to speak their language. Helen had a gift and she was a hard worker - she could sew anything and had amazing ideas for many outfits, not only dresses, but for warriors too. And as soon as she was at her best health, which took about 3 months, she started teaching all the women how to sew properly. And after 2 more months Helen presented an amazing outfit for Gloria, she could move freely, but was better protected than her dress would have offered.

All the townspeople were now better dressed, better equipped and overall better people now that Helen was their leader, and her father a mere consultant. Gloria could leave her side with confidence, she was a strong person now. Just to be sure Reina asked her 15 men if someone wanted to stay in this town, together with Helen, to rule together. One of them raised a hand, Gloria had noticed that he was spending a lot of time next to Helen and she couldn't offer a better candidate, she herself had to leave to do good deeds. Helen flushed red, but didn't refuse the offer, Gloria's heart broke a little but with a deep hug she said her goodbye's and taking Reina's hand boarded the ship. This town would blossom into a great kingdom.

Gloria's and Reina's adventures had to continue. Their faith called.

Where do they come from? What is their history? Who or what do they need saving from? How does your hero rescue them?

Goal: She wanted to make her townspeople happy, to have a happy family and show the rest of the world what a strong person she truly was. And no one would stand in her way or stomp on her, not anymore. She also wanted to open a little clothe shop.

I MIGHT have gone overboard with this one. ;D

Damsel In Distress

Name: Kaia (last name unknown)


Age: Unknown, but she looks to be in her twenties


Abilities: To make others smile


Story: Scott and I were walking down the road, early hours of the morning, trying to look for any signs as to where the men had gone. Amber's house is on a busy main road, bur even now there was few cars around.

There was a couple of people about, ready to hit the next town. There were drunkens shouting, swaying about, keeping the children tucked up awake.

There was one woman in particular who caught my attention. She was wearing a brown sequin dress, and heels I'd never even dreamed of wearing. I could tell she'd been out clubbing, she couldn't walk in a straight line.

In the distance a car was powering down the road. Kaia (I knew her name because she was wearing a name badge - I'm guessing she'd been to a hen-do or something) was totally oblivious to it, or maybe she was so drunk she simply couldn't see it. She stepped into the road, as the car came closer and closer.

I closed my eyes: I pictured what would happen. At the speed the car was travelling at it would hit Kaia before she'd even get to the middle of the road. She'd be killed - I guessed instantly.

I couldn't let that happen.

I took a step away from Scott, hoping that he wouldn't see what was about to happen. Too many questions would follow.

I raised my hands and closed my eyes once more. Concentrating, I put all my effort into creating a force field around Kaia. I heard the impact of the car, not against the woman but against the bubble that had now formed around her. It passed through, totally unaware what had happened.

Kaia looked up, registering that a car had literally just passed through her. I retreated back into the shadows, looking at Scott as I did. His eyes were wide, showing his shock.

Ten minutes later he came over to me. He'd called a taxi for Kaia, making sure she'd gotten home okay. "What happened back there?" I put my hands in my pocket and pulled my scarf up to my noise. "I'll explain later" I said, as I walked off.


Goal: To not get so drunk when she goes out

Story

Backstory

Elena and Axelle were taking refuge up north after being attacked by a rather large anti-mutant group that had been tracking them. Finally taking a rest in an abandoned cabin after hours and hours of travelling, they tensed up when they heard a sound outside the door. Armed and ready to fight back, they opened the door to the snowy outside only to see... a fox. A small arctic fox that had been scratching for entry into the cabin, looking for cover from the strong winds. Elena wanted to throw the animal back out, but Axelle refused, even sharing some of her food with it.

Later that night, with Elena keeping watch and the fox snuggled up besides Axelle, they actually were attacked, but not by mutant hunters; a pack of wolves had surrounded the cabin. The fox growled at the door when the wolves started throwing themselves against it, trying to make it open. They were probably famished, and the scent of live meat had drawn them out.

Axelle and Elena tried to hold down the door, but there wasn't much around and one of the large animals finally broke in. However, just as it jumped, jaws wide open, to snatch it's meal, it was stopped. The fox wasn't there anymore. In its place stood a very large, very menacing, white bear. The wolves were scared off, when their companion was thrown out the door, fur covered in its own blood.

After that, the bear showed its true form: a young girl who, though beautiful and elegant, acted like a young child, still discovering the world. She was lost, and alone, yet still had that pureness that both Elena and Axelle lost a long time ago. They decided to take her in, to rescue her from the loneliness, to protect her from the dangers of the world for as long as they could, to teach her before she had to learn the hard way.

Though, where exactly she came from, remains a mystery.

Goal

Liliana's only goal in this world is to discover everything and anything. She's never been outside of the arctic wasteland before, and is curious and avid to learn new things.

Picture: "Hiya! Its me again!"

Name: Scylla

Age: 18

Abilities/Skills: It was the power to control water till this little incident.

Goal/Ambition: I'd like some different clothing.. Oh you mean relevant to right now? Have you not seen what I look like!
I guess I'd like someone to help me... Kinda getting sick of this testing stuff.

Background/History:

So you already know about the history behind me and Misery, so let me tell you how I got here and how I got out.

Ever since my power started to destroy my home and gather outside interest, I had been getting some rather unpleasant attention I can say I definitely didn't want. Usually Misery would just wonder off to save killing anyone prematurely and I'd deal with the rest of it but one day I woke up with a weird bracelet on my arm. Misery seemed to be worried even if it was hard to tell the difference from how she usually behaved in these situations, "Don't you think it might be from the guys that followed you here the other day? Maybe we should find a new place to stay for a while?"... I'm not leaving my home just because some crazy people are crazy obsessed with my "water bending powers" we both let out a small giggle after exchanging glares and agreed to order pizza for breakfast.

We where just walking around bored at this point, we decided that we would try to be "heroes" and look for some trouble to get into... Suddenly I dropped to the floor and started screaming, all I could here was a ringing, it sounded like it was near but far at the same time. "SCYLLA!" Misery tried to grab me with some bed sheets she had found lying around to lessen her power with me in so much pain, all I can remember from that point was Misery being electrocuted and dropping to the floor...

Then darkness.

As Scylla opened her eyes all she could see around her was wires and pipes leading from her body... "Wait, I'm in a tank?"

Back on the street corner, Misery woke to see some strange faces.

"Scylla... SCYLLA! Scylla where are you!" Misery was in panic and two people where beside her, pale and cold. A young girl went to touch her but Misery screamed at her and jumped to her feet. "Trust me kid, you don't want to do that. And you should probably consider phoning an ambulance for your friends before its too late." She let out a small smile and ran off, hopefully to find Scylla.

History

A man of true evil. His and Gloria's paths had crossed many times, but now it was the last time. They had finally met in her home town, which Vince had decided to conquer.

Before becoming a pirate he truly was a noble person's child, who loved life and everything around him. But sadly his father was too generous and too loving, which led him to bankruptcy, resulting in his mother's death from an illness. The loss of his beautiful mom made his most darkest part come alive, he never once stopped craving riches. He was slightly scared of losing everything again, so he seeked more with each gold coin gained.

He loved women, he needed them in his life to compensate for his mother's missing love. He very much so liked red-heads, he had a weak heart for them even. Each time after leaving a port and leaving a red-head behind he hoped to see her again, and that she would be a good mother.

Gloria annoyed him to the last bit of his soul, he couldn't stand this woman. So righteous, never understanding what actual money could get you. Vince wanted to destroy her, make her submit to his demands, to conquer her, to conquer every bit of her soul. That's why he went for her little town, which actually had little worth in his big plan. But this would be a fantastic event, either he defeated her now or he would give up his ship, his hammer and his future. Everything was at stake and we would soon know how it would end.

Dr. Jenkins

Name: Doctor. Simon Jenkins


Age: Thirty-two


Abillities/Skills: Not only does he have a supersized brain, but he has the ability to control fire


Story: An anonymous source on the streets was how we found out about Doctor Jenkins. It had been months, but we'd finally gotten somewhere.

It turns out that the person who kidnapped my daughter is a scientist. An evil one at that. An evil one with powers, just like me and Ruby. Apparently he can control fire.

He didn't cover his tracks very well. But that doesn't mean he's not smart.

He is.

Simon wants to study the brain, to try to understand why some have an ability and others do not. But he didn't want to risk damaging himself so decided to run the tests on another; Ruby.

Our source told us of the location of this doctor. Scott warned me to be careful when we confronted him (he now knows about my ability. He was a little freaked out at first, but now it kind of feels good that he knows. It's brought us closer together in a way, I don't know why. Perhaps we have a better understanding of one another?) but I could already feel my anger bubbling.

We found his warehouse; on top it looked like an abandoned factory. But we knew there was a basement, which had been designed so it was sound proof.

We took the stairs and descended into the darkness. Suddenly, a light flickered on, and a chair rotated round revealing a man dressed smartly. "Aimee, I have been expecting you". I sighed - that was such a cliche saying for the bad guys. But some how it suited him.

He appeared calm, almost too calm. That's when it hit me. It was a trap.

I grabbed Scott's hand and tried to turn him around, but as I did a fire emerged out of the ground blocking the door. We were trapped, trapped with the man who had Ruby...


Goals/Ambitions To unlock the secret of the human brain

Story

Backstory

A young leading scientist in bio-genetics, Agatha Elrose had always been the best at what she does. A top student and a determined visionary, she had always wanted to help others, help the world itself, as much as she possibly could. Early on she became recognized for her talents, easily claiming a governmental position. As the years went on, she met a young man who shared her caring personality, they married and together they had a son. A beautiful boy, just as overachieving as his mother. She was proud of him, and loved him with every ounce of her being.

Then, during an out of control mutant rampage, her son was killed. It wasn't the mutant's fault, she knew that, but that only made it worst. No matter what that mutant had felt, what ever it had wanted to do, its power had gone out of control to the point of killing dozens of people, including the one she loved most in this world. She could not forgive that. And, as if to only emphasize her loss, her husband soon passed away due to sickness, leaving her all alone with her dreadful thoughts.

Even though all that had happened, Agatha never came to the point of hating mutants, instead developing a much less merciful cold disgust. She came to the conclusion that mutants either had to be destroyed, stripped of their power, or controlled, used like the weapons they are.

Since then, she has tracked down mutants, aided by her government funds, to use them as test subjects, lab rats for her research. The two young mutants she was tracking at the moment had simply had the bad luck of falling under her radar. She had lost their trace for a few days, and now that they were back, they had brought along another friend. Agatha was pleased with this turn of events, ready to have three fresh mutants to work on.

The all-seeing one, the fire user and the shapeshifter. Last spotted in the the abandoned district of a small city once decimated by a rampaging mutant. They thought they could hide amidst the buildings in ruins, but Agatha had eyes everywhere, and she was ready to obtain her new subjects.

Of course, she wouldn't go alone. No, she was not stupid, she was aware of the power and skill of those she was going up against. She would be accompanied by four thugs and... her secret weapon: a trained and controlled twelve year old mutant boy who had the power to charge and blast electricity.

Goal

To capture Elena, Axelle and Liliana and bring them back to her lab, as she will do again and again until she finds a way to get rid of mutants forever.

Name: DM13 (a.k.a Liz)

Age: 16

Abilities/Skills: A creation of testing, made to rule the world. She had the abilities to turn her arms into guns and shoot ammo of pure energy as well as the ability to fly and go full evil mode where her skin turns black and she becomes engulfed in flames of the pure energy. Other elements of her power stream from her rather chaotic bloodline as her mother is a demon and her father is an angel.

Goal/Ambition: Her ambition is to make her creators proud of her so that one day they will see eye to eye with her.

Background/History:

DM13, also known as Elisabeth Mervillies was given up shortly after birth to what her father believed to be a safe place. After some months being shipped around she was given to a laboratory where she spent her life being tested on, I suppose she could be called an advanced version of a cyborg. She has been installed with many critical updates than prove to be far more unpredictable than would be sanely right.

She may know the horrors of being tested on, but she will destroy everything and more than stands in her way just to complete her orders successfully. That is what she is programmed to do after all.

Sorry for not writing more and that it makes a lot less sense than I'd have liked.

CONTEST IS CLOSED, RESULTS WILL BE POSTED TOMORROW

Please be super patient they might be up late :c
