Just a little questionnaire about your character to see their history, why they are the way they are and etc. If you have any other questions, go ahead and add them.

Age:
Powers:
How did they discover their power(s)?:
Do they have a dark past?:
Why is he/she a Hero/Villain?:
What do you see them doing 5 years from now? Do they change or stay the same?:


Name: Samantha “Shay” Evans
Age: 20
Powers: Mind control and possession
Do they have a dark past?: Samantha has had a bad childhood. An alcoholic father and drug addicted mother. She was basically left to raise herself and her younger brother, Caleb. When she was 14 her brother mysteriously disappeared and has never been found leaving Samantha to feel extremely guilty. At 18 Samantha was raped.
How did they discover their power(s)?: She discovered her mind control ability with her father. After years of abuse, she couldn’t take it anymore. She took all of her pain and anger and focused on her father, making him feel what she felt and making him hurt himself. She eventually drove him crazy and got him put into a psychiatric ward. Since then she realized she could make people feel pain, do and say things she commanded them to do.
Why is he/she a Hero/Villain?: In the beginning she’s neutral, doing small things to get what she wants and needs, but then she becomes a villain when loses herself to her powers when she starts acting on revenge.
What do you see them doing 5 years from now? Do they change or stay the same?: 5 years from now Samantha is far from Las Vegas now, but travels around the country escaping from the law. She also has an encounter with those who were involved in her rape. She does change in the sense that she doesn’t care about anyone anymore when she used to. She’s completely numb and hurts a lot of people for revenge.

Why is she a Hero/Villain?: She is kinda a hero in that she helps those she sees as in need. But she has helped both sides before.
What do you see them doing 5 years from now? Keeping a low profile. Because of the way she is she'll most likely continue to try and help any she can, reagardless of which side they stand on.

Age: 23
Powers: Sonic Scream
How did they discover their power(s)?: It occured shortly after her rape. She had it cut off during the attack but learned later that it was with her then, she just never knew about it. Afterwards she started "policing" the predators on the streets.
Do they have a dark past?: Before no. But since her brutal attack she has opened a side of her that was always locked away. She speaks little, and even less to males.
Why is she a Hero/Villain?: She considers herself a hero, but I think the police might say otherwise. SHe says it's because she removes the crimnals off the street. The police say without any regard to the legal system.
What do you see them doing 5 years from now? Not sure but whereever she is she's not gonna be to open about her role.
Do they change or stay the same? Same. Her pain and anger run deep on this.

What do you see them doing 5 years from now? Actually she likes her current place and would only change if it suited her goals.
Do they change or stay the same?Same

Name: Laura Morgan "Ghost"
Age:21
Powers: Intangibility
How did they discover their power? Quite by accident. She was tormented by the school bullies and one day she was trying to hide when she truely did. Talk about freaking out. Melding in a wall. But it didn't stop there.
Do they have a dark past? You bet. Was once married to a abusive man. That last two years before she finally got out and disappeared. Kinda resenting that time as it seemed no one helped or cared.
Why is she a hero/villian? She really isn't either. It's almost a life of fancy. She's had nearly 6 months of indenpendence and she's living it up. Though she has a soft spot in her heart for those in need.
What do you see her doing 5 years from now? SHe hopes that life hasn't dealt her a full hand yet. Maybe there is something out there for her. In 5 years, she would like to see this proven true.
Do they change or stay the same? Hard to say but unless something changes her this is all that she knoews.

Default Re: Character Backgrounds

Name: Caleb Koch
Age: 16
Powers: Duplication
How did they discover their power(s)?: The earliest manifestation of his power was an imaginary friend he created for himself called Joshua. He began gaining full control of his power when he was 16. He needed money to catch a bus, and managed to duplicate himself and the money.
Do they have a dark past?: Not really. His brother, Jeph, was murdered in Texas. But apart from that, not really.
Why is he/she a Hero/Villain?: Hero because he's not particularly mean-spirited and it just doesn't occur to him to use his powers for his own devious means.
What do you see them doing 5 years from now? Do they change or stay the same?: He'll have changed a bit, simply because he'll have matured. He'd like to live a normal life, get married and have kids, but whether or not that will happen is undecided. In the 10 Years Gone timeline, he lives as two, the original Caleb and a duplicate who goes by Joshua Cainen for safety.

Name: Amelia Pechlos
Age: 9
Powers: Omnilinguism
How did they discover their power(s)?: Her first use of her power was an unconcious use when she became friends with a boy named Luke. She believed that he spoke Spanish too, but was unaware that she was speaking English. On her ninth birthday, two of the children at the orphanage she lived at were adopted. Having never spoken English before, she somehow managed to understand a conversation between the children and the adopting mother and contribute in English.
Do they have a dark past?: She lived in Mexico until she was 5. At that time, her parents were killed by revolutionaries and she was rescued by American missionaries who brought her to the orphanage in Philly. But not much of a dark past.
Why is he/she a Hero/Villain?: Hero. She believes her power to be a gift from God (it first manifested itself on her ninth birthday) and doesn't see that she could use it for evil.
What do you see them doing 5 years from now? Do they change or stay the same?: She will have developed her powers so that they are entirely natural and may use it to create confusion amongst her enemies - if she has any. It is possible (I still haven't decided) that she will go by the name of "Babel" for security reasons - or something like that.

Name: James Gwai Long
Age: 23
Powers: Personal DNA manipulation AKA Shapeshifting.
How did they discover their power(s)?: Touched a man named Bennet while vacationing in Odessa, TX then slowly, and painfully, turned into the man.
Do they have a dark past?: His past with the Company or OWI has tested his morality in ways few can relate to. Not a dark past per se, more like a wide variety of gray shades past.
Why is he/she a Hero/Villain?: The question doesn't really apply. James is neither a hero nor a villain. His tendancy to do what ever he needs to do to survive often conflicts with his somewhat selfish attitude. On the flip side he does not relish in doing other people harm, he just does it to stay alive and often regrets his actions later.
What do you see them doing 5 years from now? Do they change or stay the same?: In 5 years James will be approched by the CIA to help take down terrorist organizations. His ability to become anyone, a certain adeptness in the cloak and dagger world, and the fact that James Gwai Long doesn't exist in any known database will help to propel him into the highermost areas of espionage and counterintelligence
