admelioraooc

So this young man is Mack, aka Devon Tristis.

He's very sweet, although he also can't remember anything from before about three years ago. He's a healer with the ability to degenerate and regenerate cells. He's been in the AM building for about eight years all told, though five of them have involved him being unconscious and two have involved lots of therapy. He's in the gym every day - actually, he spends most of his time in the AM building. If you want him, it's usually easiest to find him hanging out in the lounge watching Glee or his next favourite American tv show of the moment.

He's quite duty-bound and quite touchy-feely, though he has an inbuilt dislike of men. He does love the ladies though. He's training to become an Agent and is hoping he'll do a great job out there in the Agenty world.

Little Known Facts:

1) a little clumsy
2) has a dream journal
3) also has a family he doesn't know about but SSSHHH
4) knows all the rules to hurling
5) terrible at team sports

This is Dong-Fu "Daffyd" Chen.

He is from another world! He was born in Hong Kong but left at eighteen for university in England, then moved to the Vatican city and is very highly educated! It's a shame it's noooot all that useful in a world with a different history. :D)-/ But he knows Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Welsh which is useful. He's also skilled in kickboxing and jerkfacery. He doesn't mean to be a jerk, but he's very social awkward with poor communications skills and gets frustrated easily. He's also easily flustered. And likes skeletons. He's a very loyal puppy deep down, you just need to get past the awkward and flailing. He is also very responsible.

Here he works in the local 7/11 and hangs out in a house with the other Knight Templars. He knows a lot and tends to soak up information like a sponge.

He spends a large amount of time on his mobile phone, checking out wikipedia (he is addicted *_*) and cat macros (*_* KITTIES).

He goes jogging daily and is regularly seen exercising and practising his kickboxing in the park in the early mornings. He also has the twin abilities of lie detection and water manipulation. Back in the KT he was an agent specialising in information gathering, so he's pretty good at that. He has been written up a few times for his lack of social ability/habit of working badly with others though.

Little known facts:

1) he wants a kitten
2) he's working towards buying a new motorbike.
3) Knight templarrrr HE WOULD LIKE TO GO HOME THANK YOU
4) kdjskdf the girls here are all gqmfs and if he were less of a gentleman he would be chasing tail like there is no tomorrow
4) he super enjoys comedy shows and has a large supply of t-shirts with funny slogans on them.
5) Oh! he also has a very nice singing voice.

This lovely young thing is Miss Rhea Dancer.

She's slightly less of a raging jerk in this incarnation and is better at covering the crazy. Born in the UK, she's highly educated and her file says she was studying an MA in anthropology when she was recruited. Actually, she's a low level British spy - but this is secret to everyone except her two fellow spies and the heads of AM. She comes across as being likable enough if a little awkward but this is a lie - in fact, her personality tends to change a little depending on who she's with and if she wants them to like her. Which she...generally tries to do (she likes people to like her).

She is the person voted most likely to kill themselves in a kitchen accident or from eating something inedible 2009. This is why she has a sassy gay friend okay. So he can stop her eating anything on a plate when she's half asleep (om nom nom coasters).

She has a moped. It is tiny and adorable and she rides it everywhere. And she also has a list she's trying to complete - like My Name is Earl, but more self-serving.

LKF:

1) her dad has a secret family she doesn't know about
2) secondary - she has parental issues up the wazoo. Which sounds like a painful place for them to be.
3) she speaks German
4) she's very efficient while on missions
5) needs to eat a damn sandwich.

This is Pearle! She's recently joined the Knights through her brother, Raymond, calling in a favor. She's been with the organization for less than a year now and is still pretty shaky with most of the members. She was born in Auckland, New Zealand, but has moved around a lot lot lot. So, chances are anywhere English is considered an official language, Pearle has lived there for at least a month. Because of all the moving, Pearle doesn't have a single diploma to her name, but has a lot of useless facts at her disposal. She's great at cataloging, making lists, cross-referencing... Her brain is like a sponge! The downside to that is that there is not one creative bone in the girl's body. An art project still means finger paints and glue and a shitload of glitter.

In Victory, she lives with the other Templars. Her brother, the one she was so thoroughly dependent on, was a casualty of the group's spontaneous time travel and his death has left her a mess. Since she was a mess before, how hard his death has really hit her is tricky to gauge. She's always been anxious, over-emotional and bad at dealing with people... At first glance, losing Ray has evened Pearle out a bit, but that's just her not having the energy to care enough about everyday life to get anxious or over-emotional.

The Knights are aware of Pearle's involuntary power of paralyzing toxins. All of her bodily fluids contain the toxin. Generally, though, she's not a big sweat-er, so contact with her skin will only debilitate an adult for an hour. Coming into contact with her tears or blood or saliva could, however, be fatal. There are some exceptions to this, but generally, it is best to just treat her like the girl in the plastic bubble. Her secondary power affects cells and Pearle has no fucking clue how to use it and so leaves it be. :D)-\

Facts:

1) She works in Victory's local library. Usually, she just sets books back on the shelves, but on occasion she's asked to stamp people out.
2) She is almost always covered in clothing from head to foot, even in summer. Sweatshirts, jeans, knee socks, gloves, beanies... She keeps her hair tied up under her hats because touching a strand is enough to make someone go tingly for a few minutes.
3) She studied the beginning of the twenty-first century extensively before getting vortexed into it. The Iraq War, the crisis in Zimbabwe, Apple, Justin Bieber... it's all so fascinating to Pearle. Get her onto the subject of a current issue and she is bound to start slipping up and saying some strange, strange things.
4) Starved for physical contact like whoa.
5) Will throw things or smack you with flat objects if you get too close to touching her. Interpersonally, she does much the same thing by antagonizing and/or nagging most people who speak to her on a daily basis.
6) Has the biggest sweet tooth ever.

Say hey to Izzy! He is the proprietor of the local chow staple, Ruby's Diner. He also sets the menu, so leave an impression on him and you can be immortalized by having a sandwich or something named after you. He is a single father of two beautiful children. He hails from Tennessee, so his accent is probably just as foreign to Washingtonians (yes, I am afraid this is what we are called) as most members of AM's.

He is so suited to small town life! Be assured that he knows the name of his mailman, the checkers at the local grocery store, his bank tellers, all his kids' teachers, etc etc etc. He keeps track of facts regarding people without even trying to. He is totally a nosy grandmother on the inside, something his kids never hesitate to point out to him. He just wants to see everyone happy is all.

Izzy powered himself through some magical food poisoning and now has the ability of photographic reflexes. Which means if he sees someone perform a task he can perform it, too. It takes a lot of repetition to make the muscle patterns stick, though. He procures the drugs that keep him in control of himself from The Network and is doing his absolute damnedest to stay off of AM's radar. Somehow, in his mind, being connected to a drug-dealing black market is preferable to speaking with a government agency.

The Facts Were These:

1) He is on a first name basis with pretty much everyone who works at the nearest hospital. Watching all those parkour videos really set him up...
2) He owns the cutest dog in existence, an overweight bulldog named Ruby Belladonna. She's only a few years old but usually has to be carted around in a stroller/wheelbarrow contraption on account of her doggie asthma.
3) Izzy suffers from human asthma in a major way. And is a total dumbass when it comes to carrying his inhaler.
4) Is really domestically helpful. He can darn, knit, scrub, repair, cook, you name it. Generally, he's too tired to do any of that, but it is within his capabilities.
5) Speaks a liiiiittle Spanish, but aside from that, he only speaks English and Hillpeople.
6) Big Harry Potter fan. He got spoiled about Snape killing Dumbledore and still hasn't fully recovered.

Onto the second of my recently-app'd characters! This is Alexis. Or Alexandria. Whatever, just call him/her Alex. He was one of the first powered to survive about ten years ago, and has been with Ad Meloria since it was created as a temporary what is this weirdness institution. Anyone around at that time will remember him as a rage-filled emo boy who had magical gender-switching powers. Now, he is more settled into his male/female identity and working as a/the secretary for Ad Meloria.

The only people he tries to keep track of which gender they know him as are the people he's slept with and they aren't associated with AM somehow. Everyone else is allowed to assume what they want and he'll roll with it because he doesn't care. (He does automatically refer to himself as male because it was the gender he was born in)

Alex is far more known for the fact that he will comment on anything that comes to mind, nice or not, and that he can't keep a (not serious) secret to save his life. The existence of Ad Meloria and the Agents? Sure, he's got that down. Who is sleeping with who and who they don't want to know? Hell yes he's telling.

So, it's best to only tell him things that you want told to other people. He may love you more than his makeup collection and tanning beds, but good gossip is good gossip.

LKF

1. Bigender. Clothes are usually bright and considered feminine, since even the manly stuff can be tomboyish.
2. Tried monogamy once and hated it. Has yet to find a good reason to try it again
3. There isn't much that is little known about him :| His file in Ad Meloria is about as long as the LotR series

Praise Breesus, God's gift to the Ad Meliora labs. She's a total headcase when it comes to self-esteem (she has way too much and maybe should start donating it to other Victory inhabitants) but is also an extremely capable department head. She's got an eye on all her technicians. She's constantly researching their projects, familiarizing herself with their reports. About 80% of her life is spent with her nose in a book or file, so you had all better be grateful to have her looking over your shoulders.

Her personal specialty is Physics and she has her own project focused on the actual hole in the sky on the backburner. She hopes to one day get back to it, but... With great power comes great responsibility. And whatever free time she has, you can bet she doesn't spend it working for AM.

She and her husband are Ruby's and other local establishments regulars, though they just get take-out. Sitting, waiting for service, eating in the restaurant when you could be typing at your computer simultaneously... It's just too much wasted time. When she is on her own time, though, Bree is a lot of fun. She and Taylor (her hubby) entertain from time to time and the parties are always wonderful. Count yourself lucky if you end up on the guest list!

LKF:

1) Her husband is an agent and a precog! That means that sometimes Bree shows up to hand you your ass before you've made a mistake. Just because she's without special abilities does not mean she can't reap their benefits.
2) Related, she never took her husband's last name, so it is just Ms. or Dr. Parrish. She doesn't correct people, but technically, she is not a Mrs.
3) Also related! Bree and Taylor are on the outs, though it is very very hard to tell. Partially because they convened and decided any visible tension would endanger both their jobs.
4) Worked at Fermilab and did some liaison work with Halliburton. Why no, she doesn't have any shame, thank you very much. Draw her onto a political conversation and you will get stonewalled like there is no tomorrow.
5) Is very touchy on the subject of children (Jaesun you are psychic).
6) She considers herself in the top 5 most arrogant people on the planet, though maybe this is just her arrogance talking. Try to take her down a peg and she will bounce off any criticism delivered.

As much as I would like to comment on all 392890 posts (you all are beasts) I only have one character so if you want some lovin' just spam them all here and he'll show you somethin you never felt before give it to you, bbs.

This is Jaesun! He's one of the creepertwins on loan from the FBI. You may think it's only to spy on AM, and you'd be right! You know, he knows it, but it's better for you if you just play nice. He is a man who wears many different hats. All around, he's pretty much an arrogant dick. As a 23yr old FBI agent, who wouldn't be? He loves teasing and banter, he can be rude and very crass (have you seen the way he talks to Jaehwa?), but unfortunately he's also a competent dude. Hey, his rolemodel in life is Brian Kinney, okay? Yeah he's prolly got a cowry shell bracelet somewhere.

The fact his success is a byproduct of being a government test subject doesn't seem to bother him. It's possible to find out he was a part of the highly controversial (and I imagine publicly crashed?) Project Doublemint amidst the [REDACTED] in his files, and he'll acknowledge it, but he doesn't speak about it much. He might not have even told Mateo! Him and Hyunsoo definitely make a strange pair, though. Let him tell you all about the indigestion he got today because Hyunsoo ate too much curry! And by now, it's probably obvious to AM that if you separate these two for a prolonged period of time, he turns into a raging bear.

He's actually one to avoid confrontation in the office or on the field, but in no way will you get off the hook. Any extremely petty comments will probably bite you in the ass later when your desk drawer handle falls off or your office chair mysteriously loses a wheel.

Also extremely 1) homo 2) in love with Mateo and eats a lot at Ruby's, but he's pretty low key about it as to not frazzle Mateo. Probably brings Rhea along to shovel food into her mouth. Shovels a lot of food into Rhea period. It is obvious he loves bizarre things and drives his motorcycle dangerously. Yes, he has spilled out multiple times, and yes, he prolly only behaves w/ it for a week or so after Riley puts the fear of God in him.

lkf:
1) Let him into your life and he will try to control it. It's just his thing.
2) Always running on 8 cylinders! Extremely high strung!
3) Obsessive vacuumer. He lives w/ 2 dogs, 1 cat there is never enough vacuuuminnng
4) He's got his own motives for everything.
5) He has a younger sister who is obsessed w/ defying him at every turn (or so he thinks)

Now we're onto Dr. Danuté Simonis, resident scientist of the environment with a specialization in trees. She is originally from Lithuania, and while her English is perfectly serviceable, she has some issues with how words work and how to make them sound natural. Her reports are much, much more professionally written than her average speaking ability. She'll talk to the other people in the lab much more often than anyone else, although it is often about work. She would definitely be more of a workaholic if she didn't have two demanding cats at home that drag her out of the lab at a reasonable hour.

Edit! Her focus in the labs is studying the environments that have facilitated some sort of powered change and trying to determine if there is a link between them. She is still trying to find all the basic info and is just beginning to look into it and may request interviews with people who are powered and associated with AM soon. So far, she has determined that things are officially Weird.

Otherwise, she'll be found outside a lot. She likes the outdoors more than the indoors, even outdoors where it is always raining, and so she's often out running, on hikes, exploring areas, and all sorts of other fun things. Which means Danuté is probably the only person ever that actually enjoys living in Victory.

This is Benji - or, if you know him through AM, Dr. Quinn. He's heard all the Medicine Woman jokes before but will still force a polite smile if you make one. For a few months he tried asking everyone to switch to saying Dr. Benji, but it never stuck...

Benji is a parapsychologist. Ask him what that means and prepare to listen to the most boring, fragmented, and enthusiastic explanation you'll ever hear; basically, he's a psychologist that deals in the supernatural. Anyone with powers that's come to AM in the last two years has had sessions with him. He's in charge of both your average mental health evaluations and also runs a number of tests and interviews to determine the nature and extent of each person's abilities. He's also the friendliest, least threatening psychologist you'll ever meet, and he does his best to make sure all his patients are extremely comfortable with their sessions. Tell him to back off and he will.

Around the office he's friendly, if awkward, and will usually offer up only a strangled smile to strangers before he hurries to leave the room. His sense of humor is also woefully underdeveloped, and he has a hard time determining sarcasm from the truth. He's been the butt of practical jokes for that reason for as long as he can remember, but he's never really wised up to them. Please don't put his stapler in jello Jorma. He drinks coffee like it's going out of style.

Outside of work he sticks mainly to his apartment. His room is chock full of old sci-fi movie posters, books on conspiracy theories, cryptids, UFO sightings, and - near and dear to him - a Cthulhu alarm clock. He's seen possibly every movie in existence (good and bad) and owns stacks and stacks of TV box sets. He'll gladly share his nerdery with anyone that shows interest.
