The "Specials" Curse.

Over the years , there has been many stories about the "gifted" people; People who seem to have strange or inhuman abilities such as flight, super-strength, invisibility , duplication and shape shifting. Scientists are now coming to believe that these stories are indeed true; yet few of these people occur, many do not live past the age of thirteen for reasons said to be unknown. Groups of scientists have constructed a team to observe these people at all times, but since they're scattered all over the world , one by one the government has taken these "specials" , as they call them, to a city called Foxend where they will live in a single home, yet experience life like before, sometimes and secretly being tested on. The scientists call this their home away from home; there's something they don't know. With every freedom there is a responsibility; with every gift, a curse. You are either a "special"or a regular

Specials:

Spoiler

You are here being observed, you are treated like royalty most of the time , and you can basically do almost anything you want. Whenever the scientists talk to you , show respect, because they have the power to kill you right beneath their fingertips ; one wrong button and they can send you down. They have a very strong respect for superiors. You attend school with the regulars , who know nothing about your abilities and curses and are treated like any other normal person. Specials are usually to one extreme , never in the middle , if one's tall the he/she is REALLY tall , if one is smart , they are REALLY smart etc. Many specials wish to be regulars , they just want to feel normal and not constantly worry about being watched or killed.

Regulars:

Spoiler

You know nothing of the Specials existence , except for the rumors. You believe what the government has told you, they are in the city because of a high price exchange program. Regulars personalities vary. Regulars are average , normal everyday people usually in the middle in everything or just average; some surpass others , barely any surpass the specials.

Name: Morgan Runestone (Regulars call him The Shadow, scientists call him Silent One, fellow Specials call him Silent Demon- all names spoken behind his back and when he's not earshot)
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Power: Invisiblity, which is perfect for sneaking around after curfew.
Curse: Aside from his total silence, his greatest curse is the power to fly- due to the fear of heights.
Personality: He's very quiet- dead quiet, to be exact- for a person his age, but that doesn't stop him from doing other things. He expresses his emotions by playing a violin, which is his personal favorite instrument of all the instruments in the school. However, don't let his unusual silence fool you. He has a temper that tiggers his flight power and is scared to death of snakes. Show a snake in front of him and he'll faint within a heartbeat.
History: Morgan's from a long line of pilots on his mother's side. All his life he never knew his father, so until his mother started telling him about his father- who she relentlessly refuses to speak of for some reason- Morgan took a vow of silence that's been in effect for the past nine years. At eleven years old, he went invisible and snuck into his mother's room to get some answers on his father. Unfortunately, Morgan found no information on his father. Even now, he's still under a vow of silence until his mother finally gives in and tells him about his father.
Appearance:

Spoiler

Up for love?: Yes a million times over, but you'll have to get past his silent act. He's a straight guy.
Theme:

Spoiler

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tczU6OWoUkI I Stand Alone by Godsmack

This suits him, since that- due to his silence- he's socially a loner.
Other: He wears a medallion under his shirt, which is the only thing he found from his mother's room eight years ago that belonged to his father. He finds it hard to wean himself of it, so he keeps it where ever he goes. In fact, he even sleep with it around his neck every night.

Spoiler

Changed the genders around, the male is the special and the female is the normal.

Name: Elias Haynes

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Power: He draws power from the runes engraved onto his skin, with the power he can levitate objects and himself and can also form a bit of light energy that he can use as a weapon. When his power activated the spirals on his body glow bright white.

Curse: Having this power not only causes him constant pain but is also steadily taking small bits of his sanity.

Personality: Elias is happy all the time, extremely happy to the point where others are put off by his wide smile and bright eyes. Everything about Eli is, in fact, very bright. He can illuminate a room with nothing but his presence, even when he's trying to hide he stands out. Eli is always greeting people he doesn't know, singing quietly to himself in the hallway, dancing random numbers whenever he gets bored, and playing games of checkers or chess with himself when there's nothing else to do. In public Eli always has a smile on his face, even when he's angry or upset.

Eli has two brains, that's the way he likes to see himself. There's Elias, which is himself, and then there's Saile, which is the brain that is being eaten away by his power, this insane part of him. Sai is who Eli plays his games with, talks to, and yells at when there's nobody around to hear him scream.


History: The only thing Eli remembers of his childhood was pain so horrible he was barely conscious for the first twelve years of his life. He could remember it being like knives cutting slowly and deeply into his skin over and over again for so many years. A pain that he couldn't escape and couldn't fight back because he was the one bringing it upon himself, his own body was tearing itself apart and mending itself back together.

Eli remembers waking up one day and having the pain be gone and then cutting himself and stabbing himself over again because being without the pain felt wrong and he didn't like that sense of wrong. Then, after that, all the blood, he passed out again and didn't wake up again until his thirteenth birthday.

The next time he woke he found his skin glowing and burning but he didn't mind the burn because he'd realized that existing without the familiar hurt left him empty and sad. His parents and the doctors were gathered around him when he woke and he was glowing and he was confused. They kept asking him questions that he didn't understand and all he wanted was for them to get away and as soon as he thought that everything in the room flew away from him.

Soon after that the people took him away.

Appearance:

Spoiler

Has spiral like tattoos covering his arms, chest, and back except the ink isn't black but a type of white. The ink shows a bit like this:

Spoiler

Up for love?: Yeah, but good luck.

Theme: The Asylum- Aiden

Other: Elias is always in pain and he doesn't know how to live without pain because the pain makes him feel complete and happy. He doesn't sleep because he says that he's slept enough for one lifetime. Sometime he will purposely flare his powers just for that extra burn.

He smokes religiously.

His room has white walls, white bed sheets, white bed frame, white dresser, white carpet, white everything. The only color in his room are his clothes which are all either blue, grey, or black.


Eli's not very smart at all, he can't write well or read because he's never had a proper education. The only thing he can do well is play music. He plays the guitar.

Name: Mai Dust

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Personality: Mai lives to make others happy. Her personal feelings mean nothing to her as long as the ones she care about are happy and. Mai is brave and strong, she is selfless and caring. She's also a bit quiet, she doesn't like big groups or giant get togethers. Crowded places unnerves her and she would sooner retreat to a quiet corner rather than jump up and start dancing. She's a really peaceful person and doesn't like or expect too much excitement with her life. She's content.

But because she's so focused on making everyone else happy she often neglects her own needs. Mai is often too drawn back and actually has paranoia. She always believes someone's watching or following her so because of this she's always second guessing her options and double checking to make sure what move she takes is not her last. She is extremely careful.

History: Mai was born into a family of hippies that taught her about finding ones self and being at peace with everything. Her parents taught her how to love other but, most importantly, to love herself - she never did learn the latter. Mai loved everything and everyone but herself. She loved the animals and the trees and the birds and the bees, but she didn't love herself. She always felt as if she was being judged by some unseen force and was never good enough for anyone even though her parents loved her very much.

When Mai's mother died she felt as if she too had gone away with her. Ever since that day the lively Mai was reduced to a quiet shy shell of herself, she was never quite the same after her mother's death and still carries that on her heart.

He is also kind of a nerd (although he hates to admit it) but he doesn't care if people see him doing nerdy stuff. He's not the smoothest kid but he can get along with girls.

Edited/Will Finish Later

Hmm... Doesn't hurt to join one more storybook.

Name: James & Oliver Mitchell

Age: 19, but James was born ten minutes before Oliver.

Gender: Both male.

Power: James has the power to read minds, and Oliver has the power super-human speed.

Curse: Well, James and Oliver don't like how they're different from Regulars. With James's power, he finds some really... disturbing things. So that's definitely a disadvantage, unless he could find a way to use it against them. Oliver doesn't really like his super-speed because of how he has this laziness right after he uses his power.

Personality: James and Oliver are like two peas in a pod. They couldn't be any more identical. Both are loud, rambunctious, and definitely never apart. You should watch out for them... otherwise you'll get something in the face. Yes, that's right, they are pranksters and partners in crime. They love to make trouble, and people who like quiet... well, they should stay away from them. James and Oliver can definitely annoy easily, but they're lovable, trust me. They could be considered crowd pleasers, and could bring the light in a dark room. They are lovable.

History: James and Oliver were born on April Fools, which is a very appropriate date for them. They were welcomed into a large family, who were Regulars. James and Oliver didn't know about their powers until they turned 9. On the birthday party, James could easily hear what his mother was thinking, which he found strange. Oliver was told to get some candles for the cake, and he disappeared, when you blink, he was there. This definitely scared the family. Oliver loved to play with fire when he was little, and gave James a little burn. It was severe, but disappeared quickly. Now, you can't really see it.

Appearance: Just like they're personality, they look identical. Both have fiery red hair and large, brown eyes. James and Oliver are both tall and stocky, with a bit of a lanky, yet leaner figure. They usually would wear the same trousers and shoes, but different colored shirts so people could identify which is which. But a way you could identify them is by a scar. James has a scar on his left forearm, though it's rather small and hard to find.

Spoiler

Left: James Right: Oliver

Up for love? : Yes, both of them are.

Theme: Everybody Loves Me by OneRepublic

Other: Both of them are British.

Violet is a fun-loving girl who just loves to throw her head back and laugh. She may be a bit on the stereotypical blonde side (if you know what I mean), and may take time to get inside jokes and whatsoever. She likes to believe in things she wants to believe in... like Santa. Violet is not a very quiet or timid girl, but she definitely knows when it's time to toughen up and be serious.

History: Violet was born to Maxine and Charles Beauxton, two French business people. She was raised to know what's right from wrong. Violet was very wealthy, but not spoiled, and had a pretty happy childhood until her parents divorced. Her mother was seeing a Norwegian man and divorced her father once she was convinced to elope with him. Violet was raised with her father ever since, but she didn't really have a good connection. She never talked to him, but even if she tried, he wouldn't bother. She wanted her mother/daughter relationship back, but couldn't find her.

Appearance: Violet is a beautiful French girl, who looks like her mother. With the blonde curls and fair complexion, she's an exact replica. Violet's skin is a healthy shade of pale, and has freckles dotted on her face. She has a tall and willowy figure, which makes it look like she's gliding when she's walking.

Name: Elizabeth (Liza) Irene Turner

Personality: Liza isn't really shy, though she's generally quiet. She's not much of a talker. Liza isn't naturally this way: she's really depressed, though. She's in the new town to escape her sorrows. Liza's got a few joys in her life, though. She loves hockey and swimming and pottery. She's not one for school, ADHD, but she tends to flock toward the nerds because they are the most accepting of her quietness. Most of the time, she daydreams and listens to music. Hopefully, her emotions don't leak out.

Appearance: Liza has mud-brown hair, blue eyes, and pale freckled skin. Her eyelashes are really long, her lips somewhat thin, her nose the average button. She's slightly taller than average, a little skinny but wiry and lean. Her hair is usually worn in a braid or ponytail, depending on her mood, and she tends toward shapeless hoodies and jeans.

History: Liza came from a wealthy background, but her father died in 9/11. Ever since then, when Liza was just a little kid, her mother hadn't been alright. She got into drugs and ended up commiting suicide, leaving her and her little siblings, Isabel and Sean, with their stiff but kind-hearted grandparents. Once in their home, their life was relatively normal. Liza readjusted. In ninth grade, she even got a new boyfriend. Until he started hitting her. Then, she couldn't take it.

Personality: Carly is spacey. She's a ditz and a klutz. She's everyone at once and is always twitching and jumping like a spazz. She's always running around and doing things that should exhaust her but Carly is never tired. She just keeps going and going like the Energizer Bunny, which is where she earned the nickname Bunny or Bun. Carly talks fast is is constantly switching topics and letting other things catch her attention. She's always hyper and the only time she settles down is when things get serious. Carly not moving around in some way is a sure sign that something is wrong.

Even though she's mostly happy there are some days when Carly runs out of power and she's like a completely different person, her whole demeanor changes.
History: Carly was born in a very happy household. She is the youngest of three children and has kept her two parents throughout all of her life. Carly's parents always knew she was special. When she was little whenever she'd walk through the house all the appliances would go crazy. They weren't scared of her or thought she was a monster because she was their little girl, if not a bit hyperactive. The family decided as a whole it would be best for Carly to go away because she would have a better chance of living.
