Biography:


Alyxa was born in Moscow, Russia, and lived in Saint Petersburg after the age of two. However, ever since her birth there had been abnormalities in her behavior and development. Her pre-frontal cortex and hippocampus showed rapid development and slightly larger size by the age of six months. Further, a DNA panel showed clear signs of mutations in several genes that had not been present before, as with every panel the mutations become more obvious until at first glance any Doctor worth his salt wouldn't call it normal human DNA. Then again it didn't look like she would survive infancy either. Having to be frequently interned for greater durations of time in a hospital due to any variable illness.


Miraculously, the condition reversed itself once she reached age two. Becoming the picture perfect child in terms of health. But for all their attempts she remained a curiously silent child. No Psychiatrist, therapist, pediatric professional, nor her parents could get her to speak any human word. She would just cry or make the odd sounds. That changed once she turned four. Her first word was a normal, "kitty cat," but things only escalated from there. She took rapidly to language of any kind. By age six she'd mastered a level of Russian something a secondary school child should be using. By age eight she had learned German, Mandarin, French, and English. As time went on it got quicker and faster. But it had also perked the interest of a shady UN Agency based out of Wyoming, USA.


At the age of ten while she was walking home from school with her class she became separated from her peers. She never made it home. Instead she was comatose and being transported to a secret location in the Rocky Mountains. She had been identified as one of the 'gifted.'


She didn't take well to this predicament. Crying for her parents and family. That was when she was lied too. She was told they had perished in a horrible fire and that she was taken her to be taken care of. All the while going through increasing tests, indoctrination, and according to plan became to regard the other children and base personnel as a brand new family. They fed her, cared for her, transported to approved locations, and clothed her in whatever she needed. She never wanted for anything.


Then, one day, a knock on her room door came. Answering it was Captain Ekaterina 'Kat' Tarina, commander of the gifted children's security detail who took them all on planes bound for the East Coast. From there they loaded up onto smaller planes to a destination no human had set foot on before...to her knowledge.


Name: Ekaterina 'Kat' Tarina


Age (under 26 for gifted): 24


Birth Date: February 28th, 2000


Gifted or Agency Personnel (If Agency state position and/or rank): Agency Personnel, Captain of Security detail to provide bodily protection for the gifted.


Years Inducted/Service: Inducted with Agency 51 during 2021 after a stellar record in hotspots around the globe including Syria. Serving officially since November 4th, 2021.


Powers/Skills: Former Russian Special Forces and Black Ops team member.

Biography:


Ekaterina was born in Volgograd and like her father was conscripted into the Russian Armed Forces at the age of 17. However, she chose it as a career and regularly volunteers with distinction in troubled areas like Chechnya, Crimea, and Syria. Rising to the rank of Lieutenant and undergoing Special Forces training during the course of 2019. Graduating in Spring 2020 and proceeding to undergo various missions until she was picked during a regular recruiting session as part of Russia's contribution to Agency 51.


Ekaterina was regarded as a stern but kind presence in the children's lives. Humorously doubling as a history teacher with a gusto that proved surprising. Needless to say she took the job of guarding, often infants, very seriously. Sadly, not many survived, for the mutations seemed to have trouble meshing with the human body. She recorded the name and subject number of every child that passed under her and her soldier's watch.

Name: Artemis (Arty) Greene (Subject-21)


Age:18


Birth Date: 19th July, 2007


Gifted or Agency Personnel: Gifted


Years Inducted/Service: 12


Powers/Skills: He can supposedly read minds and communicate telepathically. However he can only really pick up surface thoughts and even then he can't control when they come in so he constantly hears it from every one. He can use telepathy but only if he knows the other party well. He is also a competent electrical and mechanical engineer.


Physical Description or Image: <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_05/upload_2016-5-17_16-58-31.png.920889db87f78414957bdc325f98ad2f.png" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="126113" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_05/upload_2016-5-17_16-58-31.png.920889db87f78414957bdc325f98ad2f.png" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


He looks like above however instead of a smirk he has a paranoid expression with eyes that constantly scan the surroundings.


He normally wears loos fitting grey cargo pants with a black T-shirt and hoody. On top of that he has a long black cloak that easily covers his entire body. He will often wrap himself up in it if he feels insecure.


Biography: Artemis was born to a regular family in London. When he was born he was always quiet and rarely speaking to other people but could often be seen speaking to himself as if there was someone else was there or dismantling machines. When he reached 3 years old he began to become more recluse, while he use to socialise a bit with other kids his age he started to actively avoid all other human contact. When he was 4 years old he was taken to a psychiatrist who diagnosed him with paranoid schizophrenia. His normal life then ended as he was shipped off to a mental hospital because his parents didn’t want to have to deal with a “crazy”.


He continued in a semi stable state for the next 6 months but then his powers began to manifest in full and instead of distant voices he began to hear the surface thoughts of those who surrounded him. This led to his condition beginning to rapidly decay as his regular illness was added to with the addition of the thoughts of around 100 clinically insane inmates at the hospital. The Agency only took an interest when the carers and other inmates at the hospital reported hearing screams in their heads whenever they came close to him. As soon as he was inducted into the agency he was placed in an isolated wing of a facility with free access into the rest of the facility although he rarely used it, He spent most of his time tinkering with small electronics and mechanical systems venturing into the main wing only to obtain materials. He was brought to Atlantis to act as a communications officer and engineer for the gifted.


Personality: Although through isolation and training at the facility he has become more stable, he is still a very unstable person as likely to curl up into a ball and cry as he is to act bravely. He is also haunted by people inside his mind who want to kill him if he doesn’t take medication to suppress his condition. If he is in a stable state then he comes across as a shy person who will retaliate with sarcasm if insulted or threatened.

Name: Qiang Guo (pronounced Chang Gwo)


Age:
22


Birth Date:
April 19th 2003


Gifted or Agency Personnel:
Gifted


Years Inducted/Service:
14


Powers/Skills:
Using a hair that he plucks from his head, Qiang can create the illusion of anything that he wants and manipulate it at will. Smaller illusions are easier, and he has to be watching it to maintain it. He makes good use of it when causing mischief.


Physical Description or Image:
Qiang is tall and lanky with fairly tanned skin, brown eyes, and messy black hair. He has thick eyebrows, high cheekbones and a strong jawline.


Biography: Qiang Guo grew up in a small town in southern China. He was an only child, having been born while China's one child policy was in place. His family placed high expectations on him, but Qiang was always a dreamer and held little interest in boring things like math and geography. Qiang's primary interest was in the stories that his grandmother would tell to him. His parents did not approve, feeling that stories had no place in a competitive world, but they reluctantly allowed it out of reverence to Qiang's grandmother. They were appeased somewhat by the fact that Qiang picked up a basic grasp of reading and writing earlier than most children.


Qiang loved the old folktales that his grandmother would tell to him. His particular favorite were legends about Sun Wukong, and he would often insist that his mother read to him from the novel Journey to the West; a book which his grandmother had given to him. Sun Wukong was his favorite character in the book, and he would often reenact scenes from the story. One day, when pretending that his hairs had magical properties, Qiang was surprised to discover that they actually did. He had managed to create the illusion that a mouse had appeared. Excited, Qiang ran to his mother to show her, but when he returned the illusion had disappeared. After enduring a quick trashing, it occurred to Qiang that he would have to be more clever about using his abilities. If he was clever, then he would be just like his hero Sun Wukong.


After his first experience, Qiang used his abilities to conduct many pranks on his parents. He would occasionally be punished if his parents suspected that he was behind it, but for the most part he got away with his mischief. He was not able to do anything particularly elaborate, no matter how many times he wanted to create a big animal and try scaring his father, but his abilities were enough to leave his parents scratching their heads on numerous occasions. All of this happened in the span of a year when he was six years old, and the next year he entered into primary school. This expanded the number of people who he could play pranks on, and he found that it was easier to get away with his pranks at school since no one knew it was him. However, after a year had passed, Qiang became tired of no one knowing how amazing he was, so he confided in a friend. His friend didn't believe him, so he demonstrated his ability. However, his friend wasn't the only one who saw. Word traveled through the grapevine, and it wasn't long before he was kidnapped while walking home from school.


Upon his arrival to Agency 51, Qiang stubbornly refused to believe the story that was given to him that his parents were killed by robbers. He insisted that it was not his home, and that he should not have been sent there. He was the most likely to open up to Chinese looking adults working at Agency 51, but in spite of that he was very reluctant to believe them. His suspicions grew when he asked about his grandmother and was told that she was also dead. Qiang felt that he was in a difficult situation, knowing that the adults held all of the power, and he wondered to himself what Sun Wukong would do. It occurred to him that he would have to be clever. After all, the monkey king was always clever and would lie whenever appropriate. So Qiang lied and pretended to warm up to thinking of Agency 51 as his new home. This seemed fairly believable to the adults supervising him, who had noticed him warming up to the other children.


In truth, Qiang was mostly interested in the original stories that he had never heard before. Fairy tales, folk tales, and mythology. As he gradually learned English over time, he gradually was able to learn more and more stories that he had never heard before. Although he grew used to thinking of Agency 51 as his new home, he never quite grew to trust anyone there. The closest he had come during all of his 14 years spent living there was to grow interested in anyone who could tell a good story. Trust was only something that he would pretend to have though. He maintained a strong love of his homeland, but learned to hide most of his true opinions, instead letting out his pent up frustration at having to pretend all the time by mimicking Sun Wukong. He would play many tricks on others and be mischievous, often referring to himself as the monkey king. Although he gained the reputation of a trickster, his dishonesty is generally not fully apparent to most people.

Name: Marcus Taggert (Subject 72)


Age (under 26 for gifted): 24


Birth Date: October 25, 2000


Gifted or Agency Personnel: Gifted


Years Inducted/Service: 12


Powers/Skills: Marcus can take the form of any material he touches. He cannot stay in any form for too long as it will cause him extreme pain and frequent use drains him significantly. He tends to be more cautious about materials such as water or sand as they are more unstable and harder to maintain control over for long periods of time.


Biography:


Marcus Taggert was born into a tough family. His father was a drunk and very abusive and his mother was an addict after losing her job when he was five. Marcus found that from a young age, he had to go beyond the role of a child in order to survive; adapting to his surroundings. Later in life, his father came home in a stupor and began to assault his mother, dragging her into the streets for the neighborhood to see. Marcus stood by in horror, watching his mother take each blow until he couldn't sit by any longer. Taggert stumbled into the street and his entire body became as pavement and he beat his father near death. The incident was recorded and the Agency was alerted. It took them two years to capture and contain him.


Marcus knows that he is a fish out of water, but seeks to find out the truth about what he is, what the Agency's agenda is and escaping this life. Marcus is a brilliant strategist and hand to hand combatant. He can be a bit of a hot head and doesn't trust easy. He is however, a friend for life once you have gained said trust. He is fiercely loyal and dedicated once he sets his mind to something. His downfall will always be his own doubt in himself.

@Refusedstone same with previous apps I will accept so long as you add in a mental or physical flaw. Gifted are not X-Men, the more overt their power the way more damaging its effects are upon them.

Name:

Ashley Ross

Age:

19

Birth Date:

August 14th, 2006

Gifted or Agency Personnel:

Agency Personnel/US Army Liason - Public Affairs, Documenting Atlantis

Years Inducted/Service:

1 Week

Powers/Skills:

U.S. Army basic & advanced training, 1 year service

Appearance:

fs3wcQz.jpg


Backstory:

Born just outside of Seattle, Washington on the 14th of August, 2006 to a middle-class family. Ashley's life could only really be described as painfully average, and much to Ashley's dismay. Her parents both had well balanced jobs that paid a decent amount so when her father was working her mother would be looking after her and vice versa, on the rare occassion where both her parents were busy she'd be dropped off at either a friend's or her grandmother's house. In school her grades were quite alright, some being higher than others but all in all she was doing rather well for herself, Ashley being the daddy's girl she was rarely got into trouble with her parents and did strive to be better for them both. In-particular she and her father would always take the time to go hiking in the nearby mountains, this had quickly turned into a hobby for Ashley. As she got older Ashley developed an interest in media, photography, writing and all things video. In high-school her social life dwindled slightly as she focused more on her academics yet her friends were still in the healthy numbers. During her time in high-school and then college Ashley had become more and more aware that she may have been different from those around her. In many situations she had almost eerily known what a person was feeling without them even acknowleding it, her friends had always said that she was just good at reading people but Ashley believed that it was much more.

Her time in the debate club in college had also told her that she was very good at persuading people, yet there was no logical explanation as to why she was good at persuading people, she had never been the best at talking to them in the first place. A guidance teacher at her college one day had suggested to her that media related jobs should be her go to, however there was no major publisher or TV station in the area that she actually wanted to go to, that was when the Army came in. Recruiters had come down to her college during their annual job-day, and one of the occupations had peaked Ashley's interested. Public Relations, also known as Army Media. She had signed up almost immediately and soon began her training, she was trained like a normal soldier but with additional things like how to operate cameras and all that other stuff. It was only then when she finally realized why she had been so different, she was perfect at her new job and was soon gaining respect from her peers and approval from her superiors. As a Public Affairs Officer it was her job to advise the Army on how to win hearts and minds, how to connect with the American people and give themselves an overall better image, needless to say Ashley's natural talent gave her a very good impression on her superiors with how successful her ideas and suggestions all were. Ashley now lives in downtown Seattle in her own apartment, she is currently continuing her English studies in college and plans to try out in journalism eventually.​
