The Safe House♛ a house for the gifted About The Safe House is, as the name may hint, a safe house for the gifted. It is where those with in-human, mutated powers are sent to harness, learn and control their powers. It is almost like a school for the gifted, where train to use their powers with other gifted like them. These people were sent, or rather collected, to the Safe House, due to many incidents (as seen in the history), which have presented the gifted to be a threat to the world. Here at the Safe House, the members are safe from hate and cruelties which are inflicted upon them. It is not safe outside of the Island because they are hunted and seen as traitors and dangerous beings. Many do not know the Safe House exists as it is meant to be kept a secret to keep the identity of the gifted safe and from harm of the government and those hunting them.
The job of The Safe House is to protect the gifted and teach them how to use their powers, make them feel welcome in the world where they are hated by their own families. It is the hopes, that when the time comes, they will be able to use their powers for good and gain back the trust of the world. The Safe House has radar which can track the gifted. This is how many of the members of the gifted are found. Other members of the gifted, who have been trained, are sent on missions to retrieve the new members. The Island can not be reached on its own, although it is visible to passerby in the Atlantic, it is heavily warded to keep intruders away. (Many think the Island is cursed so it is usually avoided anyway.) Only those with powers may enter the wards, or else the wards block you out.
Those in the Safe House range in age, however most are in their teens because that is when most of their powers start to arise. ♛ - A Bit About Our Past ] History
There was a time when the gifted were not hated. There was a time when we were able to walk the lands freely like everyone else. There was a time when we were seen as human. But then, they became afraid.
This is based off of X-Men and Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. We will say that this takes place many years after the current movies. Most of the original X-Men either are missing, killed or have not been seen in a while. They are still part of this however. So basically, we are gonna go with this: Xavier's School is either still there or no longer safe and so an alternate place was built. The government still hates the mutated and therefore, they needed somewhere secret that they could be kept. Therefore, this place was built.
***So for the history thing (For those joining), still under edit but so this place was originally built as a secret because the government was trying to hunt and kill the gifted because they saw them as a threat. So one of the gifted members created this place to protect the gifted and keep them safe and to help them learn their powers, so when the time came, they would be able to use them for good and hopefully regain their trust back from the government and their families who they were taken from and many shunned. But, somewhere along the line, the government discovered what was going on and they were able to find the Safe House, break through the wards and take it over (they had an inside gifted member who lived outside the wards in protection of the government). So anyway, this gifted person took over the Safe House and runs it still as it did prior to this person taken over. No one knows that he is actually part of the gov. When he took over however, things changed where, they had outside connections: the were able to track the gifted through their blood and they were reported to the government, who would report to the Safe House, and thus send out missions to collect them. The difference is that the people at the Safe House can no longer leave. They are trapped on the Island because the gov decided, well, they are already on the Island, why not keep corraling them, making them think they will be doing good in the future, when really, they are being kept here so the rest of the world can function as normal without the threat of them. But the gov is kinda stupid I guess cause do they not realize that everyone in the house is being trained to fight? xD What happens if the wards go down or they find a way out? I mean- they have some books in the Safe House library that contain secrets xD But of course, then you have some gifted people in the Safe House who don't quite seem to believe what's going on and they are gonna try and uncover the secrets- and at one point, they will probs over throw the gov ect other plots along could be that the gov is taking their blood to create some super inhuman person? idk who knows lol*** ♛ - And Some About Our Present ] House Rules
1.) Do not use your powers on other members of the gifted. In training with a trainer around, there may be use of powers, however, they should not be directed towards any other gifted.
2.) Powers should not be used inside the Safe House while there are classes in session. Powers may only be used in the training clearing, when asked upon, or during emergencies, which the use of power is permitted. This is for safety reasons. Any use of powers outside of protocol can result in disciplinary action.
3.) It is required that all gifted attend classes and training. There are no classes or formal training on the weekend. Classes are short, typically only 50 minutes and they are only on Mondays and Wednesday, timing varies.
4.) All gifted must take Basic Training when they enter the Safe House.
5.) Curfew is at 10 p.m. No exceptions! Everyone must be in the dorms before dark.
6.) Books in the library of The Safe House stay in the Safe House. They are forbidden to leave it. Do not touch the forbidden books!
♛ - What Makes Us...Different ]
Powers
Each member of the gifted has one thing in common, the reason that they landed themselves at The Safe House in the first place. They are known as simply 'the gifted', each harnessing a power which makes them different from regular humans, despite their normal human qualities and characteristics. They are known as mutations. Most of the gifted harness one power, some powers being more common than other powers. Likewise, some powers are more powerful than others. Even some of the gifted who share the same power may not be able to harness it the same. It is very rare, although it has happened in the past,that a member of the gifted has held multiple powers. These people are very dangerous. There are 5 levels in which the powers appear, level 5 being the strongest. They are rare and hard to control.
Powers include; (but are not limited to)
➢ Shape Shifting - Shape shifters can shift into most objects which they envision. It is easiest to shift into other humans or animals, but others can also shift into inanimate objects, but this takes great training and is often dangerous,
➢ Invisibility - Those with invisibility can turn invisible. Generally, they can also create forcefields. It is harder to harness that power.
➢ Super Strength - Those with this power are super strong.
➢ Visionary - Those with this power can typically see into the past or the future. The timing with which they see visions is not the same for all those with this power. Some may see things right before, others days, months ect. They can read other's minds.
➢ Super Speed - Those with this power are very fast.
➢ Agility - Those with this power have improved agility, meaning they can move fast and have great balance, making them very good fighters.
➢ Control of Water - They can harness the water and breath under the water for long periods of time. They can bend the water to their will and use it as a weapon. It is not very common.
➢ Control of Air - They can harness the powers of the air and can create strong wind tunnels, tornadoes and hurricanes. They can learn to fly. This is not a common power.
➢ Control of Fire - They can harness the power of fire and some can even turn into a 'human torch'. Those with this power, can also learn to fly. This is not very common.
➢ Control of the Earth - They can harness the powers of the earth (the mountains, land ect) and use it to their will (quake the earth, move rocks ect). It is a mind game with this power and takes a lot to harness it. This is not very common.
➢ Elasticity - This gift allows those with it to be able to stretch their limbs at their will to great lengths. This allows them to have strong flexibility, but also be able to squeeze through tight spaces.
➢ Quick Healing - These members of the gifted are able to heal quickly from wounds but rarely get wounded. However, each with this ability has an 'achilles heal' in a sense that there is one wound that they cannot recover from.
➢ Super Hearing - They have hearing which can span over long distances.
➢ Super Eyesight - They have especially keen eyesight and can see over long distances.
➢ Telepathy - Those will telepathy can speak to others through their minds. This is a fairly common power.
➢ Mind Control - Those with mind control can control the minds of other people and manipulate them. These people are dangerous.
➢ Animal Control - Those with animal control can harness the energy of animals and bend them to their will. The larger the animal, the larger it is to control. It has been shown that those with animal control tend to favor one animal in particular and form a special bond with that animal and nearly perform as one. They tend to have more power over that one animal, than over multiple different types of animals.
➢ Control of Electricity - The gifted members with control of electricity can harness electric power and use it as a weapon. They are stronger near sources of electricity. During lightning storms, they can be especially dangerous because they can, with training, harness the lightning.
➢ Plant Control - Those gifted who have plant control can harness the energy of plants, some plants harder to control than others, and bend them to their will.
➢ Laser Eyes - This power is pretty straight forward. Eyes can beam lasers, which can burn through most mediums and materials.
➢ Shrinking Abilities - Can shrink to any size. Gifted must envision the size they wish to shrink down to. It takes a lot of practice to be able to get the correct size and retain this size for long periods. Over time, the process becomes less draining.
➢ Spider Abilities - Includes wall climbing, special reflexes and balance. This gifted member can communicate with spiders, as well as create webs. This power is not super common. A gifted member who has this power, may not show all of the powers included. Some spider abilities may be dormant.
➢ Power of Illusion - beep
➢ Shadow Control - beep
➢ Memory Manipulation - meaning the person harnessing this power can go through the memories of someone and manipulate them to have a different tone, atmosphere, premise, etc. They would also have the ability to erase or implant memories into other's minds. However, this has side-effects. The person with the power has the chance to confuse their memories with somebody else's, people with a psychic shield are immune, and they need to make physical contact with their targets to manipulate these memories
➢ Power Cancelation - It kinda depends; not everyone with the power will yield the same results and it'll take time before it is able to be used to its fullest power. It could be a force field which protects you from the power, so the power can harm others but not you. You could also cancel powers by touching the person, or by sending out little waves. Some powers are harder to cancel than others, but it all gets easier with practice. Some powers I'm thinking too, you could reflect back, if using the force field, but they won't be reflected back as powerful as they would have been sent at you
➢ Telakinisis - Those with this power can move things with their mind. It takes time to be able to master this power. Smaller objects are easier to move than larger objects.
➢ Power of Mimicry - Those with this power can mimic others actions, as well as powers. However, when they mimic powers, they will not be as strong as those who actually possess them.
➢ Persuasion Powers - They have a manipulative voice and they are often dangerous because they can almost control other beings and manipulate and bend them to their will through persuasion. It is almost like mind control, but verbal.
( Note: if there is a power which you wish your character to have that is not listed, please let me know and I most likely add it! )

Holland Brayson | 42 | Male | Director; Power undecided | Picia
wip
Doctor Alyssa Karter | 45 | Female | N/A, Government Official | CreamCrow
Doctor Karter is working for the government, and one of the people there apart of the 'island takeover.' She is a medical doctor in case of confusion, she is She is a strict person who follows orders, and does everything she can to be perfect. She has a bad temper, but she has been trying to work on that. Karter can't stand the kids with powers, she has a personal reason. She had a husband and three kids. Due to an incident, she lost two of her kids and husband. Now she is left with the youngest, a child 11 years old. She was already working for the government, and after that happened she was offered to check on the progress of the children with power.
She is spiteful of the children with power, she can't stand them. She is a motherly person when it comes to young kids though- her own she is overprotective to. She has a soft side that people don't often see. Now, doctor Karter isn't that old, but she has gray hairs from stress. They aren't that obvious and she still seems to retain beauty from her younger years, with a regal face. Her curly black hair mixes with the occasional gray strands, the only part that makes her look older. Her eyes always seem to be a electric blue, however they change when happy to a gray color. Something that has not happened in years. Though it is most common when he child is around for her eyes to shine gray.
Asher Karter | 11 | Male | Power Cancelation, Power Mimicry | CreamCrow
Asher is the son of Doctor Karter. He had two older siblings, key word: Had. They both died, a person with powers had accidentally killed them. It was soon after that he discovered that he was able to copy their ability. He once had another encounter with a kid who had a power. He told the boy what he had discovered about himself and how he was afraid his mom would abandon him if she found out. He became best friends with the boy, who helped him discover his second power- the ability to stop the other boy's power. He also found out with small training session that it was power mimicry he had, rather than the accidental killer's power. He just has to observe a person using their power to copy it, however it is not as strong as the original person's power. To stop someone's power he just needs to focus. He has to imagine them unable to use the power they have, so he has to know their power. It takes more energy for him to stop a person's power though. The boy he met had been found out by his mother. Asher didn't know what happened to him, he feared he had died. He still doesn't quite know.
Asher has been quieter since that happened. And now he has ADHD, something his mother thought would go away relatively soon. It hasn't yet. Due to this, he isn't a good listener although he does try. And because of the incident, it takes him longer to trust people. He does not have his mom's temper, and tries to be kind to strangers. Though he might not always think before saying something, possibly hurting another's feelings. 'Ash', that's what his mom calls him, doesn't really think before doing something. He looks like his mother. Black, curly hair that leaves his hair in tangles, though his eyes stay a steely gray. He has an overprotective mother, and that sometimes leaves him to wander away from her.
Dorm 1:
Trainer: None Yet
Students:
Lilith Black (nick named angel) | 17 | Female | Elemental control/ her eyes change color with each elemental use | Inky
Lily is a thin woman, who thanks to a dancers background is very well toned and flexible. Her hair is about as ginger as you can get. The red locks are a frizzy mass of curls, when she hasn't taken the time to tone them down that is. If she has, they are perfect ringlet curls that she will either tie up all together or tie half of it up. Even when it is up her hair is very long, when down it sits at almost the middle of her back.Lily is in fact quiet innocent looking. Her face is round and her eyes are are almond shaped and pale gray with green toward the center and outer parts of her eyes. Her lips are full and are almost always in a pout when she doesn't get her way. She is usually dolled up with make up, that makes her look, more her age. But the truth of it is she has a baby face. Her height doesn't help either, she is only about 5'4. She has a tattoo of a lily all down the left side of her waist. It was her mothers favorite flower. She also has a giant set of angel wings on her back. Tattoos are dotted else where, some are quotes some are little animals or small things. But those are usually hidden by her clothing. she wears a pale blue leotard, it has a somewhat low V cut and long lace sleeves and over it she wears a pair of black tightly fitted shorts. Of course the leotard is cut up, leaving her sides open and a nice spot on her back open. She has to show case her main tats right? If she isn't wearing shorts she is wearing a pair of high waisted black jeans.
Now, going with the whole innocence thing, there is a reason she is called the Angel. Like her baby face she is sweet and gentle. she loves to joke and have fun, she can almost always be seen clinging to someone, not respecting personal boundaries what so ever. She is prone to giggling and hugging. Constantly acting like a child. For crying out loud she helps old ladies cRoss the street.
Our little Angel Lily has control over elements. This ranges from water to the smallest grain of sand. The only catch is it has to be near her. So if there is smoke near by she can use that. Dirty city water, great. Usually she keeps bottles of things, like sand and water, while others things like matches she keeps in her pockets. Of course since she can;t always have what she needs to fight Lily is trained in hand to hand combat. And she is quite good.Any weapon she can find, she will use it. So anything from a rock to a giant gun (even if she doesn't know how to use it)
For the longest time the only person in her life was her mother. But after a freak accident her mother was put in a coma. This is what pushed Lilith over the edge. The girl had always had a tendency for violence, beating up the boys and girls at school when the teased her for her red hair. But since her mother, the only good thing her life was taken she was a little crazy, but it rarely happens.
Angel Mountebank | 18 | Male | Insect wings & energy throwing | Sappho
A striking young man with incredibly dark, smooth skin. His body is all sharp angles and hinges; a heart shaped face, long eyelashes, feline eyes, slim hands and a graceful, svelte body. His hair is cut to fall down around his ears, but it stands out, giving it a fluffy, winged impression. Angel's hair has been bleached and dyed stark white and his eyes are a cold silver. As a result of his power, his pupils are fine slits instead of circles. There are two tiny black stones in his ear lobes. He mainly dresses in a dapper style; a white dress shirt with the top button open, a black blazer, black trousers and black and white spats. He also has a wide brimmed black hat with a silver ribbon around it. His shirts and blazer have special slits in them for his wings. Angel occasionally wears makeup, and he's rather good at it, particularly the winged eyeliner.
Standoffish, controlled and a little bit selfish, Angel mainly sticks to his own and does his best not to draw in any unwanted conversations. And by that, he means all conversations. Most often that not, he's tapping on his phone about something, ignoring everyone and everything around him. He's proud and cold, and notably strong. He's always had an efficiency with his powers that made them come easy to him. Angel's fairly vulgar and incredibly rude when poked, he's really not afraid to say whatever he wants. When provoked, he's catty and caustic beyond the line of duty, but in day-to-day life he's just a cynical pessimist. He's not totally without joy in his heart, and has a protective streak for the younger students that he covers up with sarcastic one-liners. Not to mention the fact that he's remarkably loyal and when channeling that negative energy towards a positive goal, he's virtually unstoppable. He works best on his own, but he's hardworking, around others he tends to be more impatient and judgmental.
He was bullied quite a lot as a child, growing up in Queens, New York. Being effeminate and camp he didn't mesh well with the other boys, and was seen as too weird to hang out with the girls. When he was very young, he used to cry about it, but soon it developed the icy wall he put up between himself and most of the public. Can't be hurt if you can't be bothered. He grew up with his mother, Faith, her mother, Amber, his two aunties, Ruby and Ciara, and their daughters; that's eleven in total, not counting Angel. No wonder he likes girly things. His powers emerged when he was about 14, and it was difficult to leave him home, but he never it was the right choice really. Plus, it got him away from Queens, didn't it? His power gave him a pair of insect-like wings at his shoulder blades, two large ones and two smaller ones underneath them, and also changed the shape of his pupils, giving him better vision. He can channel his own energy into his hand, causing it to glow, and use it as a projectile, though he's been working on using other energy to save him the fatigue, such as electrical energy. His power relies on agility and evasion, which is handy given his background and personality, and he likes to be as annoying as possible on the battlefield.
Hufflepuff, ENTP, Chaotic Neutral, his favourite colour is violet and he's gay.
Natura | 17 | Female | Shapeshifting (limited to animals) | Darktalon
She is a secretive and recluse person with a little amount of friends. Natura has always had stronger friendships with animals then humans. This is one of the reasons that you will rarely find her in human form. Her introvert nature means that she doesn't have any close friends and finds it hard to fit in with the different intimate social groups. She has no living family as they were all targeted and killed when she was a child. She has fair skin and pale blue eyes. Her hair is a soft hazel colour and wavy. She refuses to use chemical/unnatural products and never wears makeup. She is a strict vegetarian, but doesn't believe in veganism and says that it goes to far. Natura is slim and has angled features. She ways wears a long dress, although she never wears the same one twice and others wonder where she gets all the different articles of clothing from.
Kaelan (Kael) Diaz | 18 | male | power absorption | broken
Kaelan is eighteen years old. His longish strawberry blond strands of hair that flops into his eyes. His light, strawberry blonde hair color captures the color of his sightless ice blue eyes perfectly. He has a small nose with very few freckles covering the bridge of his nose and his cheeks. His skin is slightly tanned. Kaelan has quite long legs, and is leaner than muscular, with a height that stands at 6’. Kael is a tough young gentleman who won't let himself be pushed around. He can be cold and sarcastic, but he loves his friends and is deathly loyal to them, ready to give up his life for them if he had to. He does have a sweet and loving spot, but it's a rare sight to see and doesn't come out often. He may taunt and make jibes at the others, but he loves them all, even if they get on his nerves. He can, at times, be a bomb that's just waiting to go off and he'll snap if he does. He loves a good fight and isn't afraid to start one either. He's a take no prisoners kind of guy, but despite his tough nature, there is a soft spot he's trying to protect. Inside he's hurting and wanting someone to just keep him safe and make sure he doesn't get hurt anymore. His self esteem wavers constantly, and he doesn't think people actually like him. He's not good at being soft and loving, but he's understanding. Bespite him being blind, he is able to navigate himself around the place quite well, but it takes a lot of practice. He also has a better sense of hearing because of this disability. Kael has the ability to power absorb, which was first seen when he was little. His parents became scared and sent him to the Safe House, where they hope he'll be able to get a grasp of his power and not steal everyone else's power in sight.
Dorm 2:
Trainer: None Yet
Students:
Rosalynn | 19 | Female | Telepathy | Captain Americat
Rosalynn stands about 5 foot 3 inches in height and has a slim build that can be compared to that of a runner - and it's fitting, for she has both literally and figuratively been running all her life. She has long, dark blonde hair and blue eyes. Her telepathic ability first appeared around the time she turned 10 years old. She just goes by the name Rosalynn after ditching her last name when she left her family at the age of 12.
Minnie Mykos | 13 | Female | Time-control (limited, burns up energy, difficult to control) | Annon and on
Minnie is tall for her age, has wide shoulders, and has an overall athletic build. Her black curly hair falls to her cheekbones. Her face is round and freckled. She wears vintage shoes and dark purple fifties dress, and always carries a bag full of emergency supplies in case of an impromptu trip. So far, she’s found that the longer time she spends manipulating time, the more unstable and unpredictable her powers become. For example, she stops time, after having time stopped for ten minutes, it becomes difficult for Minnie to focus- which may result in her power spinning out of control and she may move backward or forward in an unspecified amount of time. She can move forward and backwards in time, but when the further backward or forward she tries to go the more energy it consumes and the less accurate her “time-jumps” are. Currently, she’s only confident with traveling fifteen seconds backwards or forwards.
Minnie’s personality is adaptable and laid back, but also secretive, probably as result of mishaps with her powers. She is always trying to read other people while giving as little of her actual thoughts out, making it difficult for her to get and retain relationships. She has hopped from family to family in many different time periods, and says she can’t remember the one she’s from.
Bernadette Proctor | 19 | Female | Transformation | Sappho
An androgynous young woman who falls just on the 'seven foot tall' mark, she mainly goes by 'Proctor' rather then her first name. Her body is toned, and her shoulders broad, each arm and leg sculpted and muscular after a life time of fighting. Her nose has been broken, and she has thick, dark eyebrows over sharp hazel eyes. Her skin has been tanned from the weather and her mahogany hair has been cut deadly short and slicked off of her face and back across her head. She has sharp, raised cheekbones and a thick scar passes across the bridge of her nose, veering up at the last minute, narrowing missing her left eye, but turning it up at the end. Proctor dresses mainly in plain clothing; tight t shirts, dark jeans, fingerless brown gloves and Chelsea boots Her right ear is pierced, and the earring is a chain that leads up to a clamp on her upper cartilage. She has a huge khaki parka coat that she wears when it gets cold. There is something lupine about her, form the slight point of her canines, to the raw, unrefined way that she moves and speaks.
Has there anyone ever been more honest then Proctor? Who knows. But if there's a list of the most honest people to ever live, she's up there. Proctor doesn't have much filter between her brain and her mouth, and she tends to say the first thing that pops into her mind. It's not always polite, in fact, more often then not, it's a little cruel, but that's just how her mind works. She's never had much time for bureaucracy and mincing her words, she's a big, masculine, one-track-mind machine. Proctor's rarely the most understanding of people, but just because she doesn't understand something doesn't mean she hates it. But her lack of understanding over the years has made her naturally suspicious and she finds it very hard to warm up to new people, especially butter-wouldn't-melt-in-your-mouth attention seekers. She's had a bit of tough time before she got to the Safe House, and it's made her abrasive and aggressive. She's incredibly pragmatic and logical, a level headed, rational person, but she's stubborn, and narrow minded when presented with something unfamiliar. This isn't too say she's a bad person, only easy riled up, and a bit too tough. She's brave, generous and powerful, she just needs to remember that sometimes.
The power of transformation came to her when she was 8 years old, and it gives her the ability to transform into a huge creature. It is technically a wolf, but it's the size of it makes it monstrous. Proctor is roughly the size of a van when she shifts, a hulking mass of brown fun and jagged teeth. She's still very much herself, control has never been an issue, but that doesn't make her the friendliest of dogs. She ran away from her home in Vermont when she first discovered her powers, scared of her father, Grant, and scared of what she could do. She got into a lot of trouble on the road; gangs, clubs, thieves, anti-mutant agendas, and has had her fair share of fights. It's made her resilient, and tough, and she's proud of who she's become. It took a lot of convincing to get her to join the Safe House, but in the end, she's glad she did. She's good at working with her hands, and understands machinery between then people. Proctor also has an oral fixation, and is always chewing on a toothpick, this came about with her abilities, but she refuses to admit that it might be a 'dog with it's stick' thing.
Gryffindor, ISTP, True Neutral, her favourite colour is peach, and she's gay
Lachlan Stone | 19 | Male | Shapeshifting / Animal Control & Psychometry | ÷ Ⴆყ 0
*Note- Lachlan can only shift into one form (dire wolf), leaving him to rely on other animals for most inhuman abilities. Lachlan is bisexual.
Lachlan is toweringly tall, standing at 6’1”, so he never has to worry about straining his neck to look up at someone. He isn’t noticeably muscular, but looks can be deceiving, right? He sports a very sharp jawline, clean shaved, and normally twisted into a cocky smirk, accompanied by a grey blue stare. Three long scars run diagonally over his right eye, from his hairline to just beside his nose. His hair is black, medium length, coming down to just above the nape of his neck, soft in texture, and not styled in any particular way. His right ear has two helix piercings, halfway up. He is normally wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket over a grey button up shirt, with black pants.
The dire wolf is the largest species of the genus Canis. Just looking at Lachlan's wolf form, you can tell he is not a nice doggie. He holds himself imposingly, with the same critical grey blue glare. He has a very defined jaws, with the long canines of a dire wolf, packing a powerful bite force. His build is heavy and muscular, and looks larger than it really is from his thick jet black fur. He has long legs, and terribly sharp claws on large paws. He has mane-like fur sticking up down his neck, forming a sloppy mohawk of sorts. The tips of his mane fade to a silvery grey. His chest and underbelly are stormy grey, only slighter lighter than his black fur. His black tail is shaggy, and has a silvery grey tip. Lachlan has the same three scars over his right eye, a sure sign of some animal’s dirty play in a fight. The scars have not regrown fur, leaving ruts in his thick fur. His right ear has two helix piercings, halfway up his ear.
To put it simply, Lachlan is a wild card. He has no problem socializing with people, but finds it very hard to trust other people. In social situations, he’s addicting to be around, cracking jokes, and he seems like you’d want to get to know him better. However, when confronted he is unpredictable, cold-hearted, territorial, and aggressive. He has a very cynical outlook on life, believing that no one can have your back better than you can. He has very short-patience, and can be prone to becoming angered without warning. He's very bitter about the things in his past that he has not come to terms with, that still play with his head at present. He's a very shady character over all, but only on first impression. Some days he wonders if it’s all just an act, because he fears trusting other people, or having to rely on someone.
Archelaus (Archie) Sherwood | 10 | Male | Darkness manipulation | broken
Archie has short, messy brown hair and blue eyes. He is average height for his age (4 foot 10). He typically wears darker colored baggy casual clothes, along with a jacket and a scarf, even if it is summer time. He also wears a pair of trousers, a pair of boots and a hat. Archie is generally a cheerful individual, who is very curious, so he is always at a risk of getting lost or hurt. But because of this, he loses interest in things fairly quickly. He is shy of the new people he meets and doesn’t trust others easily, as a result of some past issues he had to go through. Archie was sent to the Safe House as a punishment on his part. He wanted to show off his powers to his family, but they became scared of him.
Nikolas (Niko) Woods | 14, almost 15 | Male | Control of Electricity | Smileyme2
Nikolas is a pale blond, scrawny-looking teen with sharp grey-blue eyes. He's pretty short for his age, only around 158cm tall, but he'll insist that he's taller than that- whether due to pride, embarrassment, or plain delusion, he won't say.
He's blunt and straightforward when he talks, and often makes sarcastic or pessimistic jokes. He'll zap people when they annoy him, similar to a static shock, which he finds oddly amusing. He dresses mostly in t-shirts and rolled-up jeans, as well as the only pair of shoes he owns (why bother with shoe shopping when your trainers still fit?)
Nikolas often gets annoyed, but rarely angry unless he perceives something to be unfair. He also has a strange fascination with the library, although he doesn't know why.
He's very bad at controlling electricity (he could maybe break a lightbulb if he tried hard enough) but very good at conducting it through his own body like a weathervane, which means that he's best at fighting against others with the same power as him (he's almost immune to electrocution).
He was found and taken to the Safe House after being struck by lightning in a thunderstorm and, against the odds, surviving with almost no injuries. However, the people in charge of the Safe House bribed the doctors to tell his aunt (his legal guardian) that he was in a critical condition and had to be quarantined in an overseas hospital at once. Fearing for his life, she agreed, and he was taken away to the 'overseas hospital'. He doesn't know any of this, as he was sedated at the time.
Dorm 3:
Trainer: None Yet Students:
Guinevere Lynn | 19 | Female | Persuasion of Voice & Invisibility | Picia
w.i.p
Lucille Evans | 13 | Female | Mind Control | Picia
Lucille Evans. When you look at her, you don't seem much. Long blond wavy hair, usually pulled back in a pony tail, she has always been considered small for her age, standing at about 5'0, with a petite but strong frame, longer legs than torso. It fits her well though. Prior to being abducted to this lovely island, she had been a runner. Her father had been on running teams in his younger years and Lucille had grown up watching him, hoping to be like him one day. When she had been about 7 years old, her father had deemed her old enough to go out on a run around the block. She had woken early with him, copied his every move as he stretched and prepared for the run, and then followed after him in a slow jog around the block. The first day, they had only gone short, about a mile and not too fast, but Lucille had been a natural and by age 10, she had been able to run 7 miles behind her dad, although at a slower pace. She didn't mind it though because it allowed her to spend quality time with her father when he wasn't at work or further occupied.
It had been around 7:56 p.m on a cool summer night, late June when Lucille and her father had been out running an easy 4 miles. It was a loop they had done countless time together. One that they had been especially partial towards doing during the summer at this time as they ran by a field where they could see the sun setting beautifully over the horizon. The view was a breathtaking one that she could never get enough of and to this day, would be one she could never forget.
Her and her father had been running along, just as the sun was setting, both her and her father eyes dead set on the setting sun, admiring the wonders of the earth, when her father was struck and killed by a car, Lucille left unscathed.
An incident like such should have left her scarred, made her give up her running, but she had stuck with it and with every setting and rising sun, she saw her father and the sun shine a little bit brighter and longer than it should have.
Running was her default therapy. It reminded her of her dad, when she needed him and he was not there and it calmed her and soothed her. She liked hearing the birds outside chirping, the crickets at night, the cool breeze as it ruffled through her hair and she loved breathing in the freshness that the outside world provided for her. Nature, going on walks, runs, the setting sun, it was what gave her life and reminded her that she was not alone in the world much bigger than her.
After her father had died, she had been left an orphan, her mother having died at childbirth. It had just been her and her father, no siblings and no pets to keep her company in her lonely hours. She had been sent off to live with her grandmother but her grandmother hardly kept her company, left away knitting and having more of a social life than her. She spent most of her days alone, locked up in her room, lost in her thoughts, watching people walk along the streets outside her window seat.
So yes, lonely she had been but she never seemed to fit in with others, no matter where she went. She was best left alone in her thoughts, and the thoughts of others, trying to figure them out and watch them, learn their histories, without having said a word to them. It was like a puzzle to her and gave her something to occupy her mind when she was alone, even if surrounded by a room full of people who she never seemed to be able to connect to.
Though she yearned for human companions and company, it wasn't easy for her to come by. If she found a person intriguing, she would approach, attempt to start a conversation, but many times, she lay back, her shyness kicking in, inhibiting her from speaking.
For this reason, she was fully thankful for her power- the power of mind control. Always lost in her thoughts, able to see what others were thinking and able to control them without words, it suited her well and she was often found dazing off into space, or staring at people, her blue eyes locked without realizing it. This was something she tried to lose habit of, as it had cause many at her old school to make fun of her. But she of course, had her way of getting back at them, although they would never know what hit them. In that sense, she was mischievous, but also stubborn and sly. Despite her quiet demeanor, she was all ears and not afraid to strike.
Caleb Malandra | 17 | Male | Power Cancellation | CreamCrow
Caleb is a friendly boy. He is kind and trusts people automatically - letting people use him essentially. He doesn't really care if that happens, but that isn't because it's happened a lot to him. It hasn't. He understands that that person had a goal when using him, Caleb only hopes it was for good. He has silver hair, that generally falls across his face. He dyed it since he wanted to be different from his family - as if he wasn't different enough from them. He has soft blue eyes, in which he sometimes puts yellowish-orange contacts. He doesn't need the contacts, his vision is fine. He just thinks it looks cool. He has a red hoodie in which he never takes off it seems with a black heart on the middle. He treasures the hoodie like it's his life force. His family, isn't even his real family. He was adopted by a married couple who believed the were unable to have kids adopted him as a young child. He was around two at the time. Not even six months were up before they discovered his foster mom was pregnant. It wasn't like he was loved less than his younger sister, he just didn't belong in that family. Other relationships from his life before arriving to the safe house included his past love. Caleb's former girlfriend died in a fire. Caleb was depressed for a while, and afraid of fire for a long time - he still is. Afraid of fire that is, he got over his girlfriend's death a long time ago. Though he does swing both ways. He doesn't have that much to hide from his past. He also has a necklace he wears, a gift from his past girlfriend. It's a string necklace with a black gem hanging off of it. He treasure it too, just not to the extent of his hoodie. His power works in the way like a constant force field that he can't control or put down. And it only helps him against others who use powers to attack.
Neelam Dabir | 16 | Female | Water control | Sappho
A lissom young girl with warm brown skin and plumb lips. Neelam has heterochromia, making her right eye a very dark shade of brown, tantamount to black, and the other a pale shade of blue. She has a Roman nose, arched eyebrows, legs a little on the short side, and a pastel blue hijab. She has a side fringe to the left poking out from under her headscarf, showing her hair as inky and glossy. She has terrible vision and needs tortoiseshell horn-rimmed glasses to see. Typically, Neelam likes cute, modest clothing and wears tan ankle boots, white tights, a baby pink skirt, a silver belt, a yellow wool cardigan, and a long sleeved white t-shirt, usually with some kind of girly design on it. She wears a little makeup in everyday life and two rings, on each middle fingers. She walks very lightly and normally has a backpack with her, full of 'essential' things, just in case of emergencies.
A little bit scatterbrained, occasionally forgetful, but always well meaning, Neelam is an open, amicable girl who's perfectly fine with following instead of leading. She loves art and adores creating things, but her favourite past time has always been painting. Her hands are constantly coated in flecks of paint, different colours from different days, and she never seems to be fully clean. Sometimes she even has a paintbrush tucked behind her ear, sticking out of her hijab like a lighthouse. Neelam is the most academic person, and hates school because her short attention span makes it impossible to think of anything but doodling in the margins of her work. She loathes maths and science with a passion, her imagination is too big for algebra. Wildly creative and very rarely on the same page as everyone else, Neelam loves making worlds and characters out of thin air, with an incredibly cartoon-y style of drawing. Maybe she should practice thinking realistically more often, and try to control her emotions more, but this empathetic, energetic, extra curious young lady doesn't have time for being confined. She has things to make!
Her abilities made themselves first known when she was 13 and on holiday with her family. One second it was a casual day on the beach, and the next, her little sister, Shanti, was drowning. The current had came out of nowhere, and Shanti was little more then a toddler, what could she do against the forces of nature? Neelam wasn't even aware of what she was doing, all she can really remember is reaching for her sister and pulling her up and out of the water, without touching her. Her parents, Yarah and Riyan, weren't sure what to think at first, only happy that their family was alive and well, but they made themselves sit down and do some research. Neelam did her own discovering too, practicing her powers in the privacy of her own room. She's found that turning snow to water is easier then freezing water itself, and has been getting more used to thinking of water as an extension of herself (she really loves Avatar: the Last Airbender)
Ravenclaw, INFJ, Chaotic Good, her favourite colour is periwinkle and she's bi.
Irene Jacobs | 17 | Female | Agility & Air | **ThistlePelt**
Irene is kind, tough, and protecting. She is a fair skinned girl, with blue eyes, and dirty blonde hair, with natural streaks of light blonde in her hair, and light brown eyebrows, and red dye at the bottom of her hair. She knows a lot of Spanish, because she was born near Mexico, but that is definitely NOT her nationality, she is American.

Dorm 4:
Trainer: None Yet
Students: Arianna 'Aria' Rose Cleremont | 15 | Female | Visionary (Past only, requires skin contact but is uncontrollable.) | dawnlilymc (LilliesoftheDawn)
Arianna has dark red hair, deep blue eyes, and skin almost white as snow, though the sun has caused it to dot over with hundreds of freckles. She's a little short, and pretty thin, a gaunt look developed from not wanting to touch anything, often going as far to avoid eating to stop visions. Aria constantly wears almost completely covering clothing, as the layer of cloth is enough to prevent her unwanted visions. She’s quiet, almost completely reserved, though she can explode in fear and anger if provoked. If you can get her talking though, she has the tendency to far over share because she keeps so much bottled up from her memories. After that, she’s pretty friendly, though she still goes out of her way to avoid touching anyone. She doesn’t particularly miss her family, because as soon as her powers developed she started distancing herself from them. Aria is in dorm four.
Emma (Em/Emmy) Carson | 15 | Female | Control of Air | CreamCrow
Em is a small black haired girl, standing at only 4'10. She doesn't weigh all that much, making her rather light and easy to pick up. Though it fits considering her power. She has slightly dark skin, though it goes on the more side of being an pale ashy-golden color. She cut her hair rather short to the surprise of her parents. Though they easily forgave her when she used her puppy-dog eyes, and despite being 15 it worked. Her eyes are hazel, like a swamp, but been petrified to be perfectly beautiful. She learned kindness from her older brother, though sarcastic comments sometimes pass her mind and she can't resist saying them. She is a sociable little girl, always willing to meet someone new and make a friend. She is rather playful and always trying to liven up others. She learned that later in life, when she was thirteen to be exact. Her older brother had gotten extremely depressed over a terrible incident. Well, her older brother wasn't really her older brother. He was adopted before she was born, he even kept his birth-parents last name. It was an accident, but she could tell throughout their lives that he was always bothered by the fact their parents were really hers, not his. She always tried to fix this. She has gone through many boyfriends, simply because none of them were the 'right' one. Her brother left though, and now she had to leave her parents. She does not know her brother went to the Safe House to her dismay. She is good at observing people and reading their feelings about a situation and then trying to comfort them.
Kell Carmichael |14 | Male | Visionary | Sappho
A flurry of old clothes, Kell often looks like he dressed himself in the dark. Because he did. He's blind. Battered trainers that have long since faded form their original colour with laces greyed from wear, stripy brown and gold socks, dark brown jeans that have been rolled up several times at the ankle (to show off the socks, of course), a loose black and white striped t-load of butterflies, a tan suede jacket that is HUGE on him and battered brown hat with a large, wonky brim. Black, circular glasses cover his foggy chocolate eyes. A skinny little thing with salt white skin, a face littered with freckles and short, copper hair, Kell has the handsome Old America quality of scholars and authors from the roaring 20's, statuesque and timeless. He usually has a his cane with him for guidance.
Goofy and devil-may-care, Kell is commonly seen with a smile on his face , though there is typically a hint of mischief behind that grin. He isn't known for taking anything too seriously, but don't take this as a lack of intelligence, the boy's sharp as a tack. He loves listening to audio books and has a real penchant for stories (preferably with dragons) of adventure and daring-do. With others, he's playful and down-to-earth, well known for puns and corny jokes. On his own, he's more pensive, and tends to be a little more serious when left to his own devices, far quieter. Kell is a very private person, when you get down to it, and doesn't readily share personal stories or information, usually avoiding heavier context with a joke at his own expense. Not the most emotionally intelligent, and definitely not the most honest kid here, Kell is used to people underestimating him and tends to use that to his advantage.
He's a visionary, something that he's actually known his whole life, but just assumed everyone could do it. He was born blind, but with the ability to see in his dreams and into other people's heads. He lived alone with only his dad in Henrietta, and didn't always make friends very easily (that friendly, approachable side of him only came later) so he had no reason to assume that everyone couldn't do what he could. It was when he started realizing that the things in his dreams that'd happened yet that he asked his dad about it, who understood at once what his son could do. His father, Aidan, is a good man, and loves Kell dearly, but didn't want him to leave, and so convinced him to try to limit what he could do and to not tell anyone. Eventually, they were contacted by the Safe House, and Kell left to be trained. Now, after some proper guidance, Kell can 'see' day-to-day experiences through the eyes of people around him, but he doesn't do it all the time, as it can be fairly exhausting. Also, his own private nature springs up and it discomforts him that he's spying on people's thoughts. Occasionally, he has precognitions of the future whilst he sleeps, but he hasn't figured out the trigger yet, and is still learning.
Slytherin, ESFP, Neutral Good, his favourite colour is gold (though he'd joke about it being black if you asked him outright), and he's gay.
Norman Alced | 17 | Male/Genderfuild | Shapeshifting & Voice Mimicry | Gengar
Normad is an... odd character. He prefers solitude more than the company of others, especially since coming to the Safe House. In fact, although he only openly voices it occasionally, he strongly dislikes the Safe House.
When he is forced to be around others, Norman usually has an air of sadism. His thoughts are normally dark, and he loves to pull pranks or trick others into thinking he is someone else, especially given his powers. He is also easily upset, especially if someone wounds his ego, and he is known for holding a grudge. However, if he has the chance not to interact with others, he won't, so one doesn't really have to worry about him seeking revenge.
Norman is not really a looker. He normally stands tall and intimidating at 5'10", though he is unnerved by how tall some of the people at the Safe House are... He has pale skin, an indicator of the unhealthy amount of time he stays inside. His eyes are brown, as well as his usually short hair. He also takes on the look of a girl-- with the same height, eye color, skin color, and hair color (although the length is slightly longer)-- at times, though he does not consider this shapeshifting. ♛ - Meet The Gifted ]
