Link Austen Copeland - Hyperlink - 22 - Male

Link is among the younger members of the team, though he is of course not the youngest. He is quite tall standing at roughly 6’, and he is of slim build. He is not bulky or particularly muscular, he’s quite lean, but then he doesn’t really need to be a bodybuilder or anything in terms of his role on the team. His hair is dark brown and lies in thick waves that he tends to find pretty untameable - it’s not unusual to see Link with his hair unruly, sticking up in all directions. And honestly let’s not even talk about what happens to it in humidity. His skin has a kind of olive tone to it. His eyes are a light brown, and seem to go a golden colour in the sunlight. He has a distinctive mole above his lip. Link also needs glasses, but tends to opt for contacts instead because glasses can get in the way and honestly who has time for them when you’re doing hero work? Link has a pretty youthful appearance, and honestly even though he’s tall he couldn’t look intimidating if he tried, what with his skin build and generally friendly face. Not to mention his goofy smile.  He honestly gives vibes more like an excited puppy than anything else, it’s pretty obvious he isn’t someone you’d bet on in a fight.
The mark on his neck is hard to see, almost impossible to find if you weren’t looking for it; the chip beneath his skin is difficult to notice unless one were to press down and feel for it. But it becomes obvious when the chip is activated and Link uses his powers; a glowing light seems to fill the veins on his neck and face, glowing pink, purple, green and blue, the colour varying depending on the depth of the vein. The chip begins to glow whenever Link’s powers are used, but stops glowing immediately afterwards. Thus while Link is in his data form inside a device, the chip in his unconscious body’s neck would not be glowing, but it would begin to glow again when he left the device. It makes it pretty much impossible to keep the chip and its location a secret, which isn’t great, but he tries his best. Besides, it’s his personal opinion that the veins look pretty cool so he honestly isn’t that mad about it even if it’s kind of inconvenient.
Since Link is very rarely on the front lines and fighting, instead spending most of his time working with computers and technology, his costume has very clearly not seen a lot of battle. It’s black, with glowing lines of white and blue as accents along the arms, legs and shoulders. It covers up to his neck, and he has a mask to cover his head he can wear if he is out in the open but considering his role he tends to opt not to wear it. His Knight Watch armour is largely the same, also without much sign of wear or damage and possessing blue accents. 

Link is a little socially awkward. Sometimes this results in shyness - and in emotional or high-stakes situations it generally does - and other times uncontrollable rambling. He’s not used to battle situations, being mostly on the sidelines, but when he is in one it’s not unusual to see Link talking and rambling in the middle of the fight, and he doesn’t seem to care if he’s talking to his teammates or the enemy. When it comes to actual important things he’s pretty reserved. He has pretty low self esteem, and shows this by making a lot of casual self-deprecating jokes. He’s also a fan of memes and pop culture references, which makes it seem like he’s not taking things seriously but he promises that he is. He is actually a very intelligent young man, especially when it comes to computers and technology, and he has excellent logic skills. He’s perceptive and observant, and is capable of immense focus. Of course that means if he’s working on something you’d have to be yelling into his ear for him to snap out of his work and acknowledge you, and even then it’s one of the rare occasions he’d get a little angry; he doesn’t like being interrupted when he’s focused like that. Of course, the downside to all of that is that he works himself too hard sometimes, and is known to work through the night on occasion. But he enjoys helping Addison with tech stuff, and loves working with any of the more scientifically-minded team members. Physically he’s not very gifted, since he’s not particularly athletic and he is kind of clumsy. He considers his height a nice advantage though. He is very kind and despite his logical brain is able to see the moral grey areas. He has his own moral convictions, of course, and refuses to step over his own moral lines, but he doesn’t force them on others and is good at understanding the views of others. This makes him a pretty good mediator among the more brash and stubborn of his teammates. Or he tries to be, but he’s been known to be a little awkward and not put things in the most eloquent way. Link is, however, prone to envy. Growing up he was always competitive, and he still is a little. But his biggest problem is that he is envious of those who are more confident than him, more popular. Sometimes he gets envious of his teammates, wishing he were a good fighter like them. Sometimes he feels like he isn’t making a difference on the sidelines, or that he is different from the rest of the team. He feels like a liability sometimes, since he has an awful lot of vulnerabilities associated with his power. Luckily those times pass quickly with the encouragement of his friends. He might not have the leadership skills of his friends, or be as comfortable in the spotlight, but he knows he makes a difference in his own way, and that he’s a valuable member of the team. But overall? He’s kind, and friendly, and tries his best to be a positive influence on the team. He works hard, and he’s pretty smart. Sometimes, amongst the memes and self-deprecating jokes, you even find the occasional wise or profound statement.

Link grew up with two scientists for parents - which is why he was called Link. His father was a computer programmer and his mother was an engineer. Between them, he learned pretty much everything he needed to know about science and technology. He ended up following in their footsteps, beginning to work on his own projects in high school. Eventually, he developed a subdermal chip which would hopefully allow humans to link to and interface with computers more directly. Link tested it on himself, but with results he never could have predicted. It fused with his body in an unexpected way, and Link to this day doesn’t really know what happened. All he does know is that it gave him the abilities he now possesses. He could technically cut the chip out of his neck, but he doesn’t know how that would affect his body or whether he would survive. He is not yet sure whether it is tied to a major artery or not. Once he discovered his powers, hiding it from his friends and dnaily became something of a difficulty. Of course, he was not the only one who has thought of cutting out the chip: news of his invention reached some rather shady characters, who started to close in on Link in attempts to steal the chip. Luckily, it was at that point that he was approached by Edmund and the Knight Watch, and he happily accepted a spot on the team.

Margot Cassandra Davenport - Oracle - 26 - Female

Margot stands at around 5’7” tall. She is of quite an athletic build, and her skin is lightly tanned. Her hair is a mid-brown with golden tones, which are especially evident when sunlight hits it. Her hair falls just past her shoulder-blades and is quite straight, though of course when she’s in a fighting situation or anticipates any physical activity she either braids it or ties it back in a ponytail to keep it from getting in her way. Her eyes are a very pure and striking sky blue, and are perhaps one of her most memorable features, and it seems a feature she got from her father. She is definitely what one could consider pretty, with high cheekbones and full lips. She has some scars from fights she’s been in, notably along her upper arms, one or two on her back, and one on her left temple which could be hidden by her hair if she so chose but usually doesn’t bother to. She’s not afraid to show her scars, and is in fact quite proud of them. Another notable thing about Margot is the tattoo that sits below her collarbone on the right side of her chest in the shape of a lyre; she doesn’t remember ever getting that tattoo, and doesn’t remember when it appeared.
Margot’s original Oracle costume was a white outfit with amber-coloured accents, plus a white mask to obscure her eyes. Her knight watch armour matches the outfits of the others but with her own little amber accents added and her symbol emblazoned on her chest. Her symbol is the golden bow and silver arrows of her father. When she is not wearing her superhero outfits, she likes to wear relatively simple staples like tank tops and jeans. She has a strange attraction to amber and wears it constantly in jewellery; her special favourite is a necklace with amber set into a sun-shaped pendant. She also has a strange gold ring with the word ‘Πῡθίᾱ’ engraved upon it

Margot is an interesting person, for sure, and she for one believes that her personality stems a lot from her being a demigod and from her father himself. First of all, there is a certain arrogance she possesses, as well as overestimation of her abilities. Because of her enhanced speed and agility she often forgets that she is not invincible; this is perhaps why she got involved in freerunning as a teenager. She was known for trying moves that were incredibly risky just for the adrenaline rush; in fact, adrenaline-chasing is still a bit of a vice of hers. She also has a very strong idea of right and wrong, and she absolutely refuses to cross and of her personal moral boundaries. Unfortunately, because of her arrogance, she (like her father) sometimes is known to take the moral judgement of others into her own hands and to punish them based on her own moral views. She’s also kind of stubborn, honestly, and is known to go against authority if she thinks she’s in the right. But, of course, Margot has many redeeming qualities. She is very loyal and protective of her friends, and has great capacity for kindness so long as someone has not angered her in some way. She is calm-headed generally, though she is quick to anger, much like her father. She is caring, and thoughtful, most of the time anyway. Margot is also very truthful, even brutally so sometimes, which makes her somebody her friends can go to if they need an honest opinion on something. She’s sporty, hence her free-running. Though she isn’t exceptionally either wise or intelligent (she’s smart but not genius level like some of the group), her abilities have given her some unique insights on life and what knowledge means. She often sees her abilities as a burden, but also wants to share what she knows with the world. She gets frustrated by lying, but especially by inaction or people making excuses to not do something. She’s very motivated, she works hard, and overall is a valued member of the team.

Margot’s abilities are limited. She does not have special abilities with healing, music or archery. What she does have is enhanced speed and dexterity, and the ability of precognition. She can see visions of the future, but there are caveats to this. She might not see the full picture, or it might be hazy, first of all. Secondly, her visions only reflect the future as one of many potential paths according to the path she is currently on; the future could change, and sometimes her visions do accordingly. Thirdly, she cannot control her visions. She cannot make herself have a vision, and she cannot control what her visions are about. Finally, she cannot lie about her visions even if she wanted to. If someone asks anything about her visions, she cannot lie to protect them or withhold and information. This is not only because Margot has a strange need for honesty, or because her powers don’t seem to allow her to lie about the visions, but also because to lie about the visions could affect the future in unexpected ways.

Margot was born to her mother, Isobel Davenport, who raised her as a single mother. She had experienced a fairly normal childhood with no visions until she reached the age of thirteen, when she had a strange dream, a vision of a man who seemed to radiate golden light. He had golden hair and bright blue eyes much like Margot’s own, and he told her that he was Apollo, and that he was Margot’s father. He explained that he had always had an oracle on earth, a mouthpiece to share the designs of the gods with mortals. He had chosen her, his only living mortal child at the time, to fulfil that role. It was then that he gave her the ring, and told her that she must never take it off. He had also given her a strange bow and quiver of arrows, made of a coppery-goldish metal she had never seen before. Apollo told her they had been forged by Hephaestus himself, but had been imbued with no special powers. Given that Margot had no special proclivity for archery despite being a child of Apollo, she’d had to teach herself and practice very hard - in secret, of course, because she didn’t want her mother knowing. It was after this vision from Apollo that Margot began to receive visions. They were painful, gave her headaches, drained her energy, and could not be controlled. But the worst was when she had visions of terrible things happening and could do nothing to change it. It was when she was sixteen she had a vision of her best friend dying in a car crash. She couldn’t do anything about it, and when her friend lost her life it tore Margot apart so much she swore not to get close to people anymore, in order to protect herself from the pain of her powers. She moved out of her mother’s house when she turned eighteen, and began vigilante work at night a few years later. Taking down people she thought deserved it. It was through this that she came into contact with the Knight Watch, after she took down someone they’d been keeping their eyes on. They made it their mission to stop her, but when the group finally met her their confrontation ended in her joining the group.
