Name: Len Fell

Age: 16

Gender: male

Race(human or mutant): mutant

Appearance: Image

Place of Birth: Detroit (can I do that?)

Abilities/Ability: He’s extremely strong and fast. He can see almost perfectly in perfect darkness. When he’s fighting, he can see the different attacks that his opponent will make and devises a strategy for each of them; like a chess game. When someone gives him a weapon, he masters it right away. And when he sees an attack, Len can see how it is done and can use it after practicing for a while.

Personality: Len doesn’t like talking to people, but he does care for those that manage to get close to him. He’s quiet but observant. He doesn’t forget things easily.

History: Len has lived alone most of his life. He’s wandered a long time until he found The Safeway. (I’ll get into greater detail later)

Other:
~Up for love
~Isn’t good around people
~Is highly claustrophobic
"What are you doing?"
"I've got paint and rollers...water sking"~The Philanthropist

Name: Georgie Gretchen

Age: 15 (not certain actually..)

Gender: Female

Appearance: Short brown hair usually in two mini pig tails, blue eyes. Normal height yet muscular build for a girl.

Race: Human

Place of birth: ? Has always lived in the Safeway

Ability: None. Though is an excellent swimmer and anything athletic.

History: Says she has always lived in the Safeway but everyone knows she's hiding something. Bobby is a fatherly person in her life. Julia is like her sister as they are the only human girls who have been at the Safeway nearly all their lives. (May I do this, lizzifer?)

Personality: Extremely tomboyish and on purposely tries to disagree with anything girly. Therefore, she is also stubborn and sometimes even rude. Quick to be on the defense and doesn't like to be reminded that she doesn't have a "past" or that she looks younger than what she is. Georgie is very protective of the ones she loves and will do anything to help someone (showing it is another story) She loves swimming and is a talented writer.

Other: Up for love. Knows every path and alley in the Safeway from all her years of living there.

He is a very likable guy and thinks of anyone younger than him as his own child.

History: William lost his wife and three children when he was 47, due to pneumonia. He was elected President at the age of 54 and has been under the protection of Bobby Farbor and his team of mutants for that time.

(Bobby ‘Sir’ Farbor)

Bobby watched as the clock in his apartment changed from 5:59 to 6:00 and as the annoying buzzing started he quickly hit the button and stood up from his bed. Yet another sleepless night… he thought to himself and walked over to his bathroom, heading for the sink. After splashing water on his face several times he changed shirts and grabbed for the boots that lay at the foot of his bed. This was his daily routine. Get home late from city patrols and get no sleep, then start the day all over again and repeat. He was a strong man, though and he never let anyone see him in a weak state.

He walked out of the large, apartment building and sighed as he looked up to see the metal ceiling of The Safeway. Bobby so wished to be able to have everyone live above ground again, for the children to be able to have sunlight instead of the ceiling lights that acted as the sun. In his mind it was pretty cool, but it sucked a lot as well.

Putting on a happy face, Bobby walked down a flight of stairs going deeper into the ground and flashed his I.D. on a scanner and then held down his thumb on another.

“Welcome, Mr. Farbor” it said in its robotic voice that had begun to annoy him. He walked into the metal room filled with monitors showing the city of New York and awaited for the others to get there so they could all start the day.


(Dinah Lynch)

Dinah left her tiny apartment building and decided to take the long way to her destination so she could stop by some fountains that she loved. She was blind, yes. But, she knew every entrance, exit, street, building and tiny crevice of The Safeway. So, she was going to be okay.

Something felt different about today, and that’s when a smile crossed Dinah’s face. It was raining above ground. She couldn’t wait to go on patrol so she could feel the rain on her skin, of course, like always. She’d go barefoot. When Dinah reached the fountain she sat at its edge and dipped her finger into the cool water.

“Hey, Dinah!” someone shouted from behind her, “you want to walk together to the patrol center?”

Georgie

Dinah + rain = happiness. It was so easy to tell. Well, everything is easy tell when you've known someone for the majority of their life.

I patted her shoulder and she turned around.

"Sure.....Georgina." She said, slyly.

For someone who was blind, she sure knew how to get on someone's nerves.

"Don't call me that. I want to be called Georgie." I said for the millionth time.

"Fine. C'mon lets go to the patrol center." She said, making her way down the street.

We walked in silence for a little while and she held my hand as a guide. But I had to ask sooner or later.

"Did you hear about the break in?" I whispered.

"Break in?" Dinah asked, a bit confused.

"Yeah, last night" Georgie started and looked around to make sure no one was listening in. Fortunetly no one was because most of the humans, excluding Georgie, were still asleep. "Bobby and some of the advanced mutants had to go aboveground to deal with it, I'm guessing whatever the thing was it was a threat because there's no one new here" she continued.

"Is Bobby okay?" Dinah asked, worried about her father. Or, atleast the man who she knew as a father-figure in her life.

"Of course, not a scratch on him. I heard" Georgie told her with a huge smile on her face.

Mercedes~

Whimpers filled the dark space and it took her a second to realize she'd made them. Her hands clutched her knees close to her chest and she rocked slowly back and forth. Tears trickled down her cheek and she let lose a choked cry. Torture. That's what I'm doing. I'm tortureing myself. Her body shook with terror and she gasped for air.

"If you never face your fears than you can never face the outside world." Those were her Fathers exact words before he'd died. Facing her fears. That's what she was doing right now, facing her fears. She sat in her steel closet; the cold trickling down her back and the dark engulfing everything. She continued to whimper when her clock chimed on the other side of the door.

"Finally,"she whispered.

That sound meant it was time for her to head to the patrol center. She crawled to her feet and with shaking hands snatched at the doorknob. It took her a second but she finally took deep breaths to calm down and thought only happy things. She hated the dark. Things always live in the dark....

In her bathroom she fixed her make up and erased all evidence of any tears and swept through the halls. THen she passed a fountain and was halfway there.

"Hey! Georgie, Dinah!" went the shout of Mercedes from behind the two walking girls. Dinah made a small, shy smile towards her when she heard her footsteps come closer to her.

"Oh. Um... Hi, Mercedes" was all Dinah could say until her quiet nature took the better of her and she started chewing her bottom lip.

Can I still join?

Name: Tristan 'Bors' Matthews

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Race: Mutant

Appearance: He is pale, and has silver eyes. He is tall and slim, but he looks muscular. His features are slightly wolfish. Hair here:
http://uver.deviantart.com/art/Kakashi- ... 2-80758259

Power/Abilities: His eyes are normally silverish but at will he can activate a power that turns his eyes gold. The power allows him to judge the movements of objects and people before they happen. When his eyes are gold he also gains minor telekenisis, and his speed and strength are slightly enhanced. Using it is very tiring, and if it is active for a long time he will feint. He is not the strongest mutant, but he is faster than others.

Personality: He prefers to spend his time on the above world. Roaming around protecting the Safeway, and finding other human settlements. He prefers the wilderness to civilization, and is sligtly sociopathic. He doesn't like spending time around people, but he has several close friends that he cares alot for. He can be a really caring person, but he is confused when it comes to people.

History: At an early age he descovered what he could do. At first it was sporattic, and he could only see objects a split second before they appeared. As he aged he gained more control over it and it allowed him to do more things. On his first expedition out of the Safeway he was attacked by a boar and was given a long scar on his back, thats how he got his nickname.

Other: He loves music. He travels with a large white husky (it is big enough for him to comfortably ride for short distances) sometimes when he is on the surface. He is up for love I guess.

My bad guys...

Name: Ken Verna

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Race: Mutant

Appearance: http://uver.deviantart.com/art/Meduse-80231850

Place of Birth: Unknown

Abilities/Ability: Ken can control the light, creating illusions and making things seem to appear or disappear. His
illusions seem to be real, and he can even make them solid so they are able to affect or even harm those he wishes to.

Personality: Ken is cool and quiet. He looks at a situation and sees the best opportunity and acts on it. He is sarcastic and usually somewhat cheerful, though his humor is a bit dark. Mostly due to his harsh life

History: Ken does not live in the Safeway, he may have been born there, but no one, except maybe him knows that. He is married to Nhara and the both of them have only recently arrived in what was known as New York. There target is the Safeway, their mission is a secret…

Other: Ken is married to Nhara. He is a very skilled fighter, using a Katan or a pistol depending on his move as well as his powers.

Name: Nhara Verna

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Race: Mutant

Appearance: http://UVER.deviantart.com/art/By-the-Sea-91145918

Place of Birth: Unkown

Abilities/Ability: Nhara can control darkness and shadows. Her ability allows her to transport herself from shadow
to shadow, as well as hide in others peoples shadows. When she is hiding in someone’s shadow she can even control their actions, what they say, how they move, and everything. She can make an area dark, and even make it seem like the night has come a lot sooner then what is normal. She also can solidify her own shadow, forming it into weapons such as swords, knifes or whatever.
Personality: She is a lot like her husband, though she doesn’t prefer to fool around like him, she likes to get the job done, and fast.

History: She has been with Ken for years, though they have only been married for a about five. She arrived in New York with him, and together they are going for the Safeway, though their mission is a secret…

Other: She is a skilled fighter, and also extremely good at moving around unseen. She uses knives, and either throws them, or she can fight with them hand to hand. She also is a great shot with a pistol… pow your dead

And the Good Guy...

Name: Korah

Age: 13

Gender: Male

Race: Mutant

Appearance: http://kerochao.deviantart.com/art/love ... c-85498911

Place of Birth: The Safeway

Abilities/Ability: Korah’s ability is to nullify other mutant’s powers. Those who get around him loose their abilities and become normal humans while they are in the same area as him. For many years he couldn’t control this, and anyone within the same building as him would loose their powers. However now he has learned how to bring it in or extend its range. He however cannot turn it off and it is always on, but he has learned how to be around other mutants without shutting off their powers. If you get within a foot of him though it will disappear and he can extend it like a net to cover a couple blocks. He also has the strange ability to repel all negative events inflicted upon anything no matter how extensive the damage may be he can restore it to full working order by reversing space and time around the damaged area, making it as if the object was never damaged in the first place. This can also work on people, allowing him to heal wounds; he has even replaced an occasional limb before…

Personality: He is a very happy kid, and can usually be seen bopping around, listening to his music on his head phones. He has a kind ear to lend to anyone however, and is a good listener, though sometimes a bit secure, especially about his powers. Though he is able to control his Nullifying ability, he struggles with his healing one.

History: Korah’s mother stumbled into The Safeway shortly after giving birth to him. She died in the hospital, and he was passed on, and given the serum which transformed him into a mutant. At first it didn’t seem like anything had happened, since his nullify ability merely affects mutants. His powers were later discovered and he was brought onto the Protectors to help guard the Safeway because of his special gifts. He looks up to the others in the group, considering most of them to be like older brothers and sisters, and above all he just has a desire to help.

Other: Korah is being trained how to fight, and has been so for the past few years. He is extremely agile and lithe, and quite acrobatic by nature. However he didn’t know much about fighting until Bobby got a hold of him, and for the past few years he has been training, though he still has a way to go.

Georgie

"Hey, Mercedes!" I said, trying to sound like I wasn't just talking about something secret.

I hate being human. Even though, everyone was like family, I was so different except for Julia of course. But, she was asleep like all the other unforunate humans.

We walked to the patrol center together. Dinah and I didn't discuss the break in attempt anymore.

Bobby would probably say something. Maybe.

When we got to the patrol center (Can humans go in the patrol center?) we saw that Bobby wasn't there.

All the other mutants were standing around. I saw Korah, Len, and Bors talking in a corner.

"Do you know where Bobby is?" I asked.

They shrugged. It seemed like that was what everyone was wondering.

*hope this is okay*

Adam

I walked with Bobby up the dusty stairs of the sun tower it was one of six that using reflection lighted all of the Safeway. Alpha 5-8 were unlighted meaning this tower was blocked it was a routine mission but Bobby seamed on the edge. "You okay boss?" I asked tightening my grip on my charge rifle [a type of laser rifle okay I don't know]
"Yeah just a little jumpy after the break in last night 8 dead 8 of my finest guys dead" Bobby sighed turning his focus back to the job at hand.

When we got to the top we found a weird gooey substance blocking the light even are combined strength and Bobby fire couldn't get it off so we opened the side trap to look in. Inside were 20 pods containing weird dog like things obviously mutated by radiation as mutants we'd encountered similar creatures before. "Oh dam" I said looking and seeing that six of the pods had already opened those creatures would be in the city now and if they were even half as strong as the gooey stuff they wouldn't be easy to kill.

*I just noticed something...I kinda changed your first post about Bobby. Sorry! We do have a slight problem here though. Erg, I thought all mutants have to go to the patrol room or something every morning. So...Adam wouldn't be with Bobby in the first place. Another problem is that I posted as if Bobby disappeared...?? Its up to you Monday on how you want this to go though.*
