NAME: Rivia Tristian
GENDER: Female
HERITAGE/RACE: Primarily Irish/Scottish/Welsh/French
AGE: 17
Theme Musics: Rivia's Theme - Lonely Soul; Rivia's Love - Song From A Secret Garden; Rivia's Combat - Light my Fire
WEAPON TYPE/MARTIAL SKILL: Medieval European Style Sword Fighting (started training in Fencing). Weapon – Claymore (can handle a Rapier as well).
APPEARANCE: Height 5’6”, Weight 129, Hair Red, Eye Color Brown.
CHARACTER HISTORY & PERSONALITY: Rivia was born into a somewhat normal family. Her father was a ‘Normal’ who worked a low level management position in a metal recycling factory, her mother a Class E Speed Enhancer who left her government job to be a stay-at-home mom once their daughter was born.
When Rivia was 3, her mother took her to her father’s place of work. While she was in her mother’s arms, her parents were discussing something near the entrance to the office area, a factory worker, a Fire Elemanti ‘Loses It’. Barging into the office area, he starts to set the place on fire. His first targets, Rivia and her mother. While the mother was able to use her speed to avoid the fire blast and protect her, her father was not so lucky. Rivia watched in horror as her father was torched. Fortunately, other workers were able to save him and subdue the rogue worker. This event, however, left a lasting impression on the child.
14 years later, Rivia was being pushed to attend one of the schools. Having no interest in attending, she found a way to postpone it. A year later, she was given no choice.
She is highly intelligent, yet has a secret dislike for empowered humans. Not all, since she does love her parents, but regards many as more trouble than they are worth. Being empowered herself only makes her more frustrated. Her personality seems to adapt to whomever she happens to be with. To those she trusts, she is friendly and outgoing. To those she dislikes/mistrusts, she can be cold and distant, even hostile.
She also has a mild (severe) aversion to fire and flames, one that was once much worse. She has not actively sought to develop her powers, so much so that she was considered a Grade F for a time before the experts realized how much she was holding back and upped her Grade Level.
She grew up in a nice, middle class area of District 4. Has a famous, ancient ancestor.
PERSONAL SKILLS: Interior design (including drawing and sketching her ideas) and Fashion design (including drawing and sketching her ideas).
POWER TYPE: (Elemancer)
- Power 1: Fire - Light Variant (15) [Her aversion to fire has set powerful blocks on her power. Currently Limited to light control only.]
- Pixies/Fireflies: Her earliest manifestation of her power, sometimes connected to her emotions. A swarm of tiny lights that dance around her apparently randomly if uncontrolled. When controlled, she can make them do many things, including form a sphere of moving lights in her hands. Appears to have a way of communicating with them, and at times they act She can summon or dismiss them at will. The actions of the Pixies can seemingly be of their own free will, but it was surmised that their actions were sometimes driven by Rivia's subconscious.
- Shield - Now the Pixies (She doesn't like calling them Fireflies, even though that name is more accurate) can better form a protective shield, a stronger shield, to defend her against attacks.
- Transport - The Pixies can now carry heavier objects than before.
- Imaging - Rivia can direct them to go to a location, then act like a digital camera and take an Image of what is there, then return to her and display it in mid-air as if in a vid-screen. Many of her sketches of the campus are of inaccessible places she viewed using her Pixies. Can also be used to create other types of images that she can control, false images, artistic images, and so on.
- Camouflage : Can bend light to make herself invisible, or alter the light around her to create a holographic false imageso that she appears as someone else. Her artistic skills help make this very realistic.
- Pyromancy: Simple Divination. Occurs when she is forced to look at fire for several minutes. Her mind then Zones Out as a way of dealing with her fear and she then sees images in the flames and/or hears voices in the sounds of the fire. Currently someone has to snap her out of it physically by pulling her away from the fire, or by dousing the flames. Often the images and sounds are subject to interpretation, but occasionally they are spot-on accurate. She has no control over this, or over the fire.
- Power 2: Speed (8) [Internalized due to same mental blocks.]
- Her speed primarily affects her central nervous system and related systems. Her brain processes information and sensory input faster than normal, her senses are heightened above normal.
------------
Parents:
Father: Donovan Tristian; Age 44; Head Manager, Personal Division, Johnnson Construction.
Mother: Alysa Roux Tristian; Age 42; Chemical Engineer - Government Research; Class B Enhancer, Primary - Speed.
The Roux Family, though not rich, famous or powerful, is known for one thing. A strong genetic tendency for producing Class E and Above Empowered. Though it is not uncommon for Elemental or Enhanced powers to run in families, the Roux Family has never yet produced an Un-powered or Class F person, at least not since the first empowered people were born into the city generations ago.

NAME: Rosemary Brielle Vargreaves
NICKNAME: Rose
GENDER: Female
HERITAGE/RACE: Caucasian with mostly British origins
AGE: 16
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT: 5"3'/107 lbs.
APPEARANCE:
THEMES:
[Personal Theme]: Foo Fighters' "Dear Rosemary"
[Combat Theme]: Pendulum's "Watercolour"
CHARACTER HISTORY:
In Eden's prestigious Sector One resides a family whose history dates back two and half millennia ago, the Vargreaves family. Despite their upper class status and lineage of nobility, not much is known about them. While they appear to be a normal family who established a company that studies and reverse engineers old technology, there is an entirely different story behind their manor doors.
While their power and influence reaches back as far as their history, it was nothing when the first Matron awoke. The Matron, a female within the family who exhibited vast supernatural power, quickly became the head of the household each generation and with some possessing abilities such as controlling humans like puppets or altering destiny itself, it was no surprise that the family profited greatly from it. Unfortunately, it became apparent that they could no afford the risk of having their greatest advantage known to outside sources, thus the family kept their Matrons hidden indoors, never to step outside as long as their power remained. While this practice often led to various negative results, it appeared that one woman's wrath and suffering was worth it all. Then, as mysteriously as it appeared, the powers of the Matron vanished. Plagued with uncertainty and dismay, the family chose to continue their tradition of keeping their daughters indoors until it becomes apparent that they possessed no power.
Years passed and humanity survived within Eden, and while brief moments of vague power came forth, there was no real sign of the Matron returning. It was this world that Rosemary was born and raised in. Having no contact with the outside world aside from her siblings, family, tutors, and staff, she sought escape in the worlds that her holo-books and movies provided, leading to her developing a vast and overactive imagination. It was much to the dismay of her parents when her older sister showed no signs of the supernatural and even more so when her own power --the power to bring forth beings from her imagination to life-- emerged. While such an ability might have proven worthy enough, her parents felt that her childish behavior was unbecoming of a Matron. Uncertain of what to do with such a heir and with Arcadia catching wind of her powers, the answer became clear. Rosemary was to be sent to the academy.
PERSONALITY: Cheerful and friendly, one might think she was just a normal girl if it weren't for her childishness and stubbornness in whatever strange beliefs she may concoct.
PERSONAL SKILLS: As one might imagine from someone with an imagination like hers, she is quite skilled in story telling. She also happens to be rather good with training animals.
VOICE ACTRESS: Laura Bailey
STAT ALLOCATION
Water: 10
Air: 10
LOCKED: 3
FIGHTING STYLE/ABILITIES:
Rosemary's fighting style is one of simplicity and complexity; a combative paradox. As one might imagine from a fighting style taught from books and movies, her movements are rough, unpolished, and leaves multiple openings, yet at the same time one would find it hard to exploit this. While she fights alone, she is aided by many and although her fists cannot reach their targets they still hit true. What is Imaginary becomes Real, and what is Reality is Not. Despite the fact she has not named this style, it goes by many names:
NATURAL FALLACYAt first glance, she appears to be an Elemanti, for she seemingly controls the forces of nature. She will tell you otherwise, for it is not she who controls these elements, but rather the beings she brings to life. These creatures assist her in combat in compensation for her lack of skill, which makes Natural Fallacy the foundation of her entire fighting style.
Each of the Visions can perform their own version of the techniques listed below as long as they have enough influence and power to do so.
Illusionary Strike [Cost: 1 Point]
The most basic weapon in Rosemary's arsenal, this ability allows her to summon forth one of her Visions' limbs. While this is mostly used to increase or add elemental damage to her strikes, this can also be used to close in small gaps between her and the target which would have normally resulted in her grazing or missing the strike. Just how these limbs appear or the method of striking varies on the chosen Vision and it's element.
Fantasy's Roar [Cost: 5 Points]
A long-ranged projectile attack for when even the Visions' limbs cannot reach their desired target. By bringing forth the head of the chosen Vision, Rosemary can launch an elemental blast. Much like the Illusionary Strike, the projectiles vary from Vision to Vision.
Natural Fallacy [Cost: 10 Points]
The pinnacle of the Elemanti abilities she possesses, Natural Fallacy allows much more control over the elements through her Visions. By extending the range of her power, Rosemary can bring forth the Visions a distance away from her as long as their chosen element preexists nearby (a puddle of water, for example). It is also with this ability that the Visions can manipulate and take the form of the alternate forms of their elements (ice from water, electricity from air, etc).

Are these powers okay?POWER TYPE: Enhancer
Durability 5
-Semi-metallic: Takashi's flesh is much harder than normal, shrugging off most basic human blows and blades.
-Stance of iron: Takashi can greatly increase his durability for a few seconds when bracing for impact, but after doing to he needs to rest, eat, or do something else to replenish himself.
Stamina 5
-Basic healing factor: Takashi does bleed when injured, but his power releases a healing "burst" that stops continued bleeding.
-Second wind: Takashi's cardio stamina is even higher than his skill would suggest.
Hey! No one's asking you to smell it.

Visions of Rosemary
Otherwise known as the beings who were once imaginary and were brought to life by Rosemary's power. Currently, she only possesses those that correspond to an element, but one cannot say what dreams will emerge from her next.

The Abiding Torrent
Pronunciation: "Roo-loo-zoolull"
Nickname: "Rully"
Element: Water
Synopsis:
The eldest of Rosemary's visions, Ruluzuelo has strangely developed into the role of Rosemary's mentor and much like the element he personifies, he can easily adapt to any situation tactically. His appearance was originally based off a turtle Rosemary once saw in holo-book as a toddler.

Natural Fallacy "Torrent"
Zethyuulam
The Tranquil Aerial
