Name: Braith Forwent

Codename: Shatter

Age: 16

Gender/Pronouns: Female, She/Her

Sexuality: Hetero.

Class/House: Duellem. (I think. It's the closest I can think of)

Powers: Bonebreaking: Braith can cause the Bones of anything she touches with her fingertips to shatter, with more of the creatures skeleton being damaged the longer she is in contact with it, I.E a mere tap will fracture the nearest bone, whilst continued contact could cause the persons entire skeleton to split apart. However, she needs direct skin to skin contact, so a simple pair of gloves is more than enough to stop it.

Personality: Braith is polite and courteous at most times, but this is due to her upbringing as part of the Academy. To someone who had spent most of their life outside the Academy, her attitude might be strange, but to her the Academy is all she knows, and so she struggles to consider a life outside of it. The Tests are just a part of her life that she accepts, whenever she is asked to attend them.

Likes: Ice Cream, Soft Gloves, Being alone.

Dislikes: Needles, Physical Contact, The Idea that someone can read her thoughts without her knowledge

Arrived at the Academy: At the Age of 1, As her power was immediately revealed when a nursery worker was playing with her and had their left arm shattered.

Family: Derit Forwent - Father, Deceased. Eris Forwent - Mother, Deceased. Cable Opartai - Half-Brother, Alive.

Tragic Backstory: Braith was a happy infant, growing up with her mother and father close to her, up until her ability made itself known during a night of cuddling her mother. However, the results of her powers would not be known until two days later, when officially her parents died in a car crash. In reality, the crash was caused by her mother suddenly feeling her skeleton collapsing whilst behind the wheel of the family's car, causing a crash that killed her husband but miraculously left Braith and her half brother untouched. As for why her mother took two days for the effect's of Braiths ability to manifest, one only need look at the ability of her half brother, Cable.

Name: Cable Opartai

Codename: Placebo

Age: 20

Gender/Pronouns: Male, He/Him

Sexuality: Asexual

Class/House: Astrum

Powers: A Literal Placebo Effect: Cable can fool the nervous system and musculature of a sentient being into believing that damage done doesn't really exist, which allows the organism to continue acting as though the injury was never dealt to them. However it is not healing and only suppresses the injury. With continued usage of a, say, broken limb, the damage will become more and more severe, such that when Cable ceases using his power, they have to deal with the pain of the injury returning along with any extra damage they've done with continued usage. Basically, it's good for a sudden push beyond what you should be capable of, and getting you somewhere safe to heal properly, but don't go depending on it to keep you alive.

Personality: Unlike his Half Sister, Cable is abrasive and rude, an attitude developed from living with his father after his mother died. As such, He is quick to anger, especially when someone brings up family, and he'll normally reserve his powers to use only when he either wants to, or absolutely needs too. He won't go out of his way to help you, but if helping you improves his odds at getting his way, he'll probably do it.

He does have a soft side, but that's mostly reserved for Braith, as she is his last (known) family member still living.

Likes: Being outside, playing truant.

Dislikes: Being cooped up in the Academy, Any and all tests.

Arrived at the Academy: At the Age of 19.

Family: Scott Opartai - Father, Deceased. Eris Forwent - Mother, Deceased. Braith Forwent - Half-Sister, Alive.

Tragic Backstory: Cable had an... interesting childhood. His Father broke up with his Mother shortly after he was born, His mother remarried when he was around 3, His Sister was born when he was 4, and when he was five, His mother and Step Father died in a horrific car accident, and he was sent to live with his drunkard of a biological father. After 13 years of battling with liver damage, his father finally died from Alcohol Poisoning, leaving Cable alone. After searching through his fathers old paperwork, Cable found an old adoption form for Braith, along with the rejection letter explaining about the Academy. Shortly after this, Cable made a very public demonstration of his ability with an old Arthritic man and was soon hauled off to the Academies.
