PLOT

There’s a war about to start but nobody knows. It’s 2016, status quo. Tensions between countries are high like usual, unusually so but nothing worth noting, probably still arguing over oil or whatever it is countries argue about these days. Tensions in countries are high, the police seem more brutal, politicians more polarized, people more anxious. But it’s nothing worth fretting about. It will probably die down soon anyway. But there are rumors. You can only really hear them if you know where to look and even then it’s quite difficult to believe them, to act upon them. There are rumors of a war going on, of lots of wars going on. “There are people”, they say, “with special abilities, crazy abilities, like straight from the comic-book abilities. Remember Volt?” They say. “She wasn’t a hoax, she could really do all that shit! And there are more like her, it’s crazy!” See crazy. But what if those rumors are true? What if it’s 2016 and status quo is a whole different story. There’s a reason tension is so high and the reason is definitely not oil. What if certain people have been quote unquote gifted, with certain abilities, frightening abilities, and for the past fifty years the world has been struggling to deal with it completely under our tiny stuffed noses. It’s only gotten worse with time. The secrets behind the gifted have yet to be found and the governments are getting desperate for the knowledge behind the power. In their eagerness, experiments on Gifted kind have grown less and less humane with each passing year and in response rebellious groups are starting to form. For now all are underground out of fear of public and federal backlash. But many are threatening to make violent, public displays and many have gotten frighteningly close. Who knows, they may even strike today.

INFO

GIFTED Gifts range in power and type and, though highly researched, little is known of the powers. Currently there is no real restriction on gifted powers but please only give your character one maybe two powers if they’re related and don’t go op. That’s no fun :/ The age at which gifts manifest is also highly varied. Some develop at two, others at twenty. As soon as they are found, gifted are to be collected and contained. For the captured gifted there are two paths, experiment or agent. The decision is made based on numerous factors, some of which are arbitrary. REBELLION GROUPS If able to avoid collection, many gifted hide alone however underground support groups have started to spring up. These groups are often radicalized. High Voltage is the most well-known, headed by the self-named terrorist Volt. Volt herself has been executed and is seen as a martyr for the gifted. She (and high voltage) was behind the chain black outs in NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San-fransico, Seattle, DC and Minneapolis. High Voltage is also behind the deaths of hundreds of people who were at the power plants during her attack. The full story of this attack has been heavily covered up. THE AGENCY The Agency is the government faction specialized in Gifted control. There are numerous Agency bases, varying in size, throughout the United States and it is here where contained gifted reside. The quality of living in these bases depends highly on the status of the gifted. The lucky ones, high up in the ranks, live in hotel-like suites. The average gifted agents and experiments live in dorm-like rooms. However because of their 24 hour containment within the bases the life of an experiment is considered very prisonlike. Deviant, criminal and high-risk Gifted are kept in isolation or prison cells. All gifted are fitted with a miniscule ear-bud which the Agency uses to track movement, record speech and administer disciplinary pain. All gifted are also required to attend check-ups and participate in experiments. The frequency of these depend on the gifted’s rank. The majority of the Agency is run by Humans, they have much more leeway with their liberties. However, they aren’t allowed to share the details of their job to their families or the general public. There are three divisions of the agency: -X- Division one: Focusses on research. They are scientists and engineers who work on agency technology and Gifted biology. Both humans and gifted work in this division. -X- Division two: Fieldwork. These agents are tasked with finding capturing, eliminating and/or recruiting unregistered gifted. Both humans and gifted work in this division. -X-Division three: Inter-agency operation. Division three makes sure the agency remains running. They do the paperwork, they make sure communications with the government and between bases remain clear. They guard the bases and teach and train young cadets. Essentially, division three runs the agency. The vast majority are human. average age/placement for agency-residing gifted: ALL: -X- Age 2-15: schooling (propaganda) and experimentation within the bases DIVISION ONE: -X- Age 15+: intensive schooling on the sciences. Graduate level tests must be passed to ‘graduate’ into their specific field. DIVISION TWO: -X- 15-20: Fieldwork under mentorship of experienced agent (This lasts five years with some exceptions) -X- 20+: Graduate into their specific field. HUMANS are recruited by Field-agents. Often they are talented college students or promising members of the police or military. THE WORLD is set in 2016. Technology is slightly more advanced for civilians. The Agency’s tech rivals that of marvel’s SHIELD. the Agency is American however other countries have similar programs. There is currently an international arms race occurring thus tensions between nations are high. It is likely there are government spies tasked with the capture and general study of Gifted culture and relationships in other countries. NOTES & SIGN-UPS it’s pretty much a sandbox!

			GABRIELA WINIFRED MUND
			TWENTY-EIGHT FEMALE
			GIFTED AGENT D.2

Appearance

TRAUMA TEAM - maria torres: gabriela w. mund
Oftentimes wears a fitted trench. Has quite a few scars. Kinda smelly. Hair is always a mess.

Personality

Gabby is very much a character and its difficult to forget her. She's very outgoing, humorous and blunt, finding it all too easy to talk to people. however she doesn't exactly have the subtleties of proper social etiquette and oftentimes she comes off as unbelievably rude and fairly obnoxious, hardly ever failing in saying precisely the wrong thing for the situation.

At first glance she comes off as sloppy (both physically and mentally) and irresponsible, however when things get tense she tends to wear her heart on her sleeve. She can be a bit of a ham, prone to exaggerations.

She's actually very sisterly, though prone to tease, she remains very loyal to those she's befriended and is a surprisingly good mentor.

Though her stubborn nature hides it, deep down Gabby is actually a coward. She is actually well aware of what's going on but instead of disobeying, she clings to the belief that she can rise up to a high enough rank to change the Agency from the inside.

History

Average. For what she does, Gabby's growth can easily be marked as average.

She was born in New York to young parents, loving and without a clue of what their daughter would get them into. At around age three, Gabby's powers started to develop. Man what a weird time that was. At first the couple thought little of it, "The squirrel said he wanted some cake!" Isn't exactly an odd thing for a little toddler to say during a picnic and parents pride kept them from seeing anything odd in their child's ability to speak much above her age-level.

It wasn't really until she started speaking Russian to a little old lady at the grocery store that the parents started to realize something was a little off. She was brought to an evaluation, people were contacted and within a month a rather kind looking man with a large German Shepherd showed up at the couple's doorstep.

The man, Drew Larson, explained the situation to the couple and, with the promise of monthly updates, the girl was sent to the Agency.

Life at the agency went by fairly routine, and Gabby graduated at 14, about average. Because of her gift, she was assigned to apprentice under Larson in order to help communications between him and his partner Giovanni Walker, a shape-shift whom was stuck in the form of a dog.

Larson was a surprisingly kind man, a human who never exactly shared just why he was in the Agency. It was he who helped Gabby mature from the cruel, naive brat that she was.

She graduated to independent Agency at twenty-two and was set to work with Giovanni alone. (Larson was old enough to retire to division three). The two worked various missions together until Giovanni died in action. Though the two hated each other (their personalities clashed horrendously). Gabby prefers not to talk about it.

Gift - Omnilinguistm

Gabby has the, well, gift of gab, meaning she can understand and speak just about every language in existence. This includes dead languages, animal and code. However, she is often limited by the fact that she is human. Though her body can produce certain hormones if the need arises, its rather hard for her to talk to certain animals as she is lacking adjustable ears and/or a tail. When desperate enough she uses a mechanical set of ears and tail, to help her communicate. Since the inventor didn't spend loads of time on the gadget, it tends to bug out quite a bit and surprisingly enough, Gabby is actually a tad embarrassed to use it.

Also note, animals rarely have anything useful to say anyways. "Smell food. you have food? me have food? please? foooood :3"

Strengths & Weaknesses

Though her gift offers little help in fights, with a lifetime of training behind her, physically Gabby can rival a U.S marine. Though she does have a few tricks up her sleeve, one can easily out-gambit her. Though she has determination going for her, she's can be rash and tends to act on a whim. Furthermore, because her powers developed when she was a toddler, when her gift is suppressed she is unable to read and can speak only juvenile English. Her ultimate fear is becoming death and/or mute.

Inventory

paralyzer - think high-tech Tazer-meets-gun. Gabby's primary weapon. If hit, electricity jolts through the target, causing their muscles to tense for up to five minutes.

standard gear -  cell-phone, police id, one gas-mask, basic first aid kit, flame and ice retardant under-armor and two pairs of handcuffs, one of which can counter intangibles.

big becky- old pickup truck. Rusted over with peeling blue paint. The back is fitted with a canopy and acts as extra storage for misc. wares.

fitted animatronics  0.02 - made by a techno-kinetic to help Gabby communicate with eared and tailed creatures. Far from a polished product, it has a skeletal look with lots of wires. Gabby does not like using it as it often bugs out and makes her feel ridiculous.

Misc.

She has recently befriended a crow whom she calls Jack. He's used to help scout for suspicious behavior. He knows some English, allowing her to remain discreet.

			AHN HA-NEUL
			TWENTY-ONE MALE
			GIFTED AGENT D.3

Appearance

KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN - kakimoto chikusa: ha-neul ahn 

kind of flimsy looking. like he'd snap in half if you leave him out on a windy day. also see: beanie guy with the glasses. 

Personality

+ hard-working + thoughtful   + patient  + adaptable  + self-reliant

- moody  - over-critical  - introverted  - obstinate  - passive-aggressive

History

born in seoul, south korea. haneul was adopted by family friends at the age of six, after the death of his parents. they were both talented engineers who worked for a cellphone company, building applications and improving operating systems.

on the sly, the same company developed software for security and covert information gathering. rumors spread and grew in magnitude about the 'side project', which only the higher-ups of the company, and the research and development team knew about initially. everybody, the regular employees of the company, and the large percentage of the public that had phones made and manufactured by the company, asked for compensation at the expense of those who had worked under the project. this was largely due to having their privacy threatened, after a rumor about the company's products being bugged caught wind. 

originally a team of ten, four had taken their lives, unable to go out anymore without being recognized. the rest had gone into hiding. caught between being seen as enemies of the public and being sought after by 'private firms' and other coalitions that were interested in obtaining 'side project' material, haneul's parents were shot dead by kkangpae, refusing to give the information to an organized crime group. 

the two are survived by haneul, the only (other, known) living source of information from the side project. he was adopted by a kindly couple, who'd been longtime friends of his parents. he parents never knew about their son's abilities. and regarding his knowledge of the project, he vaguely remembers opening a book and looking through the pages, confused as a five year old. he'd flipped through most of it before casting it away without so much as a second thought.  

haneul grew up with a relatively 'normal' life, if not a quiet one. it was in his second year of university that he was recruited to join the agency, although with some reservations as he wasn't particularly trying to follow in his parents footsteps (which they had been hoping for) -and at the time, he was a history major.  he has absolutely no aptitude for the research that goes into engineering, or whatever it was that his parents did/studied. 

Gift - increased memory capacity

haneul has an eidetic memory, so he has the ability to remember certain events in great detail. it goes to the extent that memories from right after childbirth could be made clear to him if he'd try hard enough. the trade off is that it takes a lot out of him to concentrate on dated memories. like the book he'd opened at five years old, it doesn't matter whether it makes sense to him or not. 

because he didn't grow up within the agency and never sought to develop his ability in particular (up until recently) it just seemed like a really convenient skill (although arguably, it really is). he is a third division agent because he does more paperwork than research, despite being somewhat involved in technological development. he only actually works for a specific amount of time (a few hours in a day), and during his working hours, he holes up in a room writing down as much as he can remember from the book he'd flipped through (without meaning to) at five years old. 

he can probably work for longer periods of time if he'd switch up his lifestyle a bit to include some regular exercise (for stamina) but he'd...rather not. 

anyone outside of the agency has no knowledge of his power, that includes his adoptive parents or any friends he's made. but then again, it doesn't awkwardly manifest itself often and most of the time he just looks like he's having a really bad day. but he's been cautioned to be wary of letting on too much when he's outside of the agency, since he has knowledge of some confidential information. 

Strengths & Weaknesses

haneul doesn't really understand what his job at the agency entails, or what the information will turn out as when put into practice. he doesn't really care much either, although sometimes he'll stop to wonder and will ask to be relieved from his duties earlier. he has some issues about worth and usefulness because he finds that being labeled as gifted among other people who do more than just sit down and write is pretty awkward.  

because of this ability, he has trouble forgetting things and often has a lot on his mind. he is physically weak and his innocuous nature is a defense mechanism, because he'd probably befall the same fate as his parents if people knew he was a walking piece of confidential information. a lot of this is due to being unable to control his power properly. 

Inventory

• beanie - he never removes it. not that he's hiding anything in particular. but it rubs him the wrong way if you attempt to pry it off his head just because.

• game boy advance sp - first birthday present he's ever received. in working condition. has married mary several times in harvest moon: friends of mineral town. it's black. 
• oreos - sustenance.
  

Misc.

he has a brother, who was also adopted, but as an infant. during his adoptive parents' earlier trips to korea, they would bring him along. so prior to becoming brothers, they were childhood friends. sort of.

hi maygo! He's awesome and good to go
though just to make clear, is it known that he's gifted or has that been kept under wraps?

[CRANE]
