alright so basically the premise of this rp is that there are 10 people, all 18-19 years old, who were taking by the government and experimented on because they were born with inexplicable "powers." these powers were classified from strongest to weakest 1-10, 1 being the strongest, 10 the weakest. for example, 1 could be able to shape-shift, and 10 may be able to change something's color by touch. because of this, One has adopted a sort-of leadership role. all 10 kids are named by their number, but they can have nicknames for each other that they get from their power, what defines them. the 10 are kept in an underground facility and are closely monitored by the scientists. the facility includes many rooms, including a bedroom for each of them, a kitchen that is stocked by the scientists, a training room to practice their powers, two washrooms (one for boys, one for girls), a living room for communal usage, and several others. occasional, one of the ten will be selected by the scientists to undergo experimentation for that day. those are not good days.
i'd make an actual layout but i'm way too lazy, and i wanted to see if anyone was interested before i put effort into it lol

character number (and nickname if they have one yet) | age (18 or 19) | gender | orientation
brief description of appearance/personality/power
One (River) | 19 | male | bi
River stands at well over six feet, with broad shoulders and long limbs to match. He has tanned skin (more due to genetics, since he can't remember ever seeing the light of day) and thick, dark hair that he's constantly pushing out of his eyes. Those are deep blue, possibly due to the nature of his power. River is a natural born leader, which comes in handy when corralling nine other super-powered kids. He's very kind and is almost impossible to rile. This would, perhaps, suggest weakness, but he has a quiet kind of strength that is the reason behind his respect from the others. Though they're all roughly the same age, River is fiercely protective of the others. His first language is sarcasm, and his sense of humor is explosive. One got his nickname from his power, which is the total control of any liquid substance, as well as the healing properties that are associated with water. He can change the temperature of any liquid, which gives him power over ice as well, and he is able to use his healing abilities on others as well, which he frequently does whenever the others get hurt during a sparring match or, more likely, if they have a bad day with the scientists. His self-regeneration abilities are specifically interesting to the people holding them hostage, and they use it against him often. His abilities also protect him from scarring, so while the others all sport reminders of old injuries and experimentations gone wrong, River's skin is as clear as day he was born.
Two (Oberon) | 19 | Male | Straight
Oberon stands a bit below average height, barely kissing 5'6. His build is suitably svelte to match; slender shoulders, lithe muscles, fine bone structure. A gently pointed heart-shaped face and wide oblique eyes tend to result in his seeming physically nonthreatening. That is, if one ignores his passionless features and steely argentine gaze. Oberon's expressions tend to be simple and minute, usually easy to read if he hasn't been provoked into unwavering intensity. His hair is unevenly cut, a strange shade of darkest chocolate with a distinctly red sheen. It's generally neat and kept out of his eyes, though the hair at the back of his head is in perpetual disarray and longer strands brush his jaw and high cheekbones. His nickname is derived from his fondness for the idea of stars/space, as he's never actually seen it. He also pushes for books following 'good behavior' in favor of other forms of reward. Oberon is naturally a rather...dominant personality. Control is a commodity in his life, and one he covets with a quiet sort of pleasure. Therefore it's only natural that he styles himself as One's 'second' beyond his being simply numbered that way. Despite a belief that the aforementioned is too 'soft' at times, Oberon truly does look to him as a leader. Albeit one he occasionally contests with. He's blunt when it suits him, duplicitous otherwise, and takes a No-Holds-Barred approach to everything. And though he projects a frigid air, his quiet intensity tends to cross over into his affections as well. Oberon has no concept of personal space and is surprisingly tactile- prone to random affectionate touches with a completely dead-eyed expression- and the kind of 'friend' who might disturb you with how much attention they pay to the smallest details. Everything from a basic routine to obscure traits and potential weaknesses.
Oberon's power is a form of empathic telepathy and telekinesis- He can read minds if he pushes hard enough, though only the minds of those he has physically touched and feels strongly about. Otherwise he simply perceives vague feelings and impressions of what one might be thinking. If minds are open to him, he's capable of forming a telepathic link between himself and multiple people. The most basic form of his telekinesis is limited to a five foot radius, and he experiences physical and mental strain when attempting to affect objects or beings that are particularly heavy/dense. Oberon has discovered, however, that he can surpass these limits if he 'imprints' upon or forms a connection, empathically or telekinetically, with another person or object. In which case he can form telekinetic shields over allies yards away and can easily maneuver an elephant-sized chunk of cement- Provided he cares about it enough. As using telekinesis on himself is easier, Oberon is capable of flight and prefers floating to sitting. Or standing. He's forced to wear gloves at all times as a precaution against his reading the scientists' minds, and telepathic links are prevented by his wearing a device that resembles a circlet. It sends electric pulses directly to his brain in order to discourage any telepathy above the empathic level.
Three (Penny/Pen) | 18 | Female | Straight
Penny has copper red hair. She has bright blue eyes, which could pierce you right to your very soul. She is around 5’5, and she hates being called short. She is rather bullheaded. However, she listens to ideas, granted, she may not agree, but she listens. She has a pear shaped figure. She is rather kind, but gets angry easily. She tries to be a happy person. She hates sadness, and will leave the room if there are any sad people. She doesn’t really sympathize or empathize with people. Only once has she ever seen the light of day, during an escape attempt that brutally failed. She has a couple of old scars from injuries as a child. They run along her back. Her power is the use of fire. She can summon it through her hands, but she can only summon it if there is flame in the room. She becomes weak after too much use, but too much use of her power will not harm her physically. She has full control over them, and can even set someone alight and not have them burned. However, she can lost control after a while.
Four (Lux) | 19 | Gender neutral but according to the study male| Pan but with a strong preference to males
Lux is a pretty small person. They stand at about five foot five and are waiting for that fabled growth spurt most males seem to get at eighteen... which they do get but it only gets them to stand at five foot seven so they're still a pretty small person. They have short honey blonde hair that has that slight California surfer wave to it. Really they do look like a mini surfer dude, they're pretty well built for their small stature and has that care free attitude that seems to go along with it. They have a light smattering of freckles on their slightly heart shaped face and has wide green eyes. Lux is pretty energetic and the type of person who's kind of like a happy but lost puppy. They tend to push away their problems until they build up and everything just blows up in their face. So even after being experimented on they are fairly optimistic, even though they won't really let anyone touch them. If they initiate contact it's totally fine, in fact, they're a huge hugger, but usually they need to initiate contact first. They seem to need a lot of positive attention, too, but now that they're older they can handle it a little bit better. They have the power over light, usually it's their skin glowing faintly, but they can actually make the light into something solid for offensive attacks. Usually their power comes out when they are overwhelmed and light just emits from them in a bright flare, blinding people temporarily so they can escape. Think of their power like a skunks, except their power doesn't stink.
Five (Alaska/Angel) |19| female | straight
Alaska's hair is such a pale blonde, it is almost white as as snow. It is cut right above her shoulders and falls in choppy, messy waves around her tan face and deep blue eyes. She has a tall and athletic frame, standing at 5'8". Freckles are sprinkled across her cheekbones and nose, despite the fact that she has hardly seen the light of day. She also sometimes gets called "Angel". Maybe people call her that because she has the disposition of one. She always puts others needs above her own. She loves to love on others and make sure that they are happy--even if that means putting her own happiness or health aside. Or maybe they called her that because of her wings. She was born with magnificent white wings that could retract into her back. They expand almost seven feet in both directions and allow her to take flight. Of course, she hasn't ever gotten to fly free in the open, but the government has her do weekly simulations and experiments to test the limits of her wings. Sometimes the tests are painful, but she still looks forward to them because they mean she gets to stretch her wings, which are constantly sore from lack of use. She also holds the ability to calm others with her touch--something that comes in handy when one belongs to a group of teens who have been tested on and manipulated since birth.
Six (Vice) | 18 | female | gay
Vice is average heighted, around 5'6, although most of her silhouette is obscured by her long wavy hair, reaching to about her knees: chestnut colored, fading to pale blonde at the ends. Her eyes are a pale blue, her face round. She always seems to be wearing a mischievous smile, almost like she's going to bite at any moment. Vice's personality is...complicated, to say the least. She gives off a very dangerous front, her care for others seeming to be laced with some kind of ulterior motive, and doesn't outwardly appear to feel bad for other's suffering, her light words subtly venomous. She's sneaky, clever, maybe a little sadistic, but in private she is very different. She tries very hard to keep up her controlled image in lieu of the immense amount of fear she has, fear of suffering and fear of dying in this horrible place. She's never broken down in front of anyone else, but cries a lot when by herself. Truthfully, she doesn't know what she would do without the others. Vice has control over her hair- it is essentially like an extra limb to her, she can use it to grab things with its vice-like grip (hence her nickname), or she can even use it as a weapon, drawing it into knife-like points. She can control the length at will and it's very strong, but not impossible to break.
