āRoleā ||
Subject 01 is one of the two female residents in RIST.
Subject 01 has shown to have brunette hair that lightens slightly more in the summer season. She was born with a sandy blonde hair in her youth, but it darkened quickly in her older ages.
Subject 01 has shown to have darker hazel eyes. When ability is in use, it has been recorded that her eyes dilate extremely depending on how long ability is in use.
Subject 01 has been measured at exactly 5 ft 4 in , and weighs exactly 109.4 pounds.
Subject 01 after search was shown to have multiple scars and past bone fractures. The most dominate of the scars include a bite mark on her right wrist from a dog attack when she was eleven years of age induced by her father, and a long scar running down her left shoulder blade also caused by her father.
Subject 01 was born in Hereford England, but lived the majority of her life in central London. Her nationality is English, and has a distinct English accent.
Subject 01 has many personality traits that we have viewed and tested. After multiple questions to people in her past lives, and through our own studies, we feel as if we have gathered up enough information for a clear report. So far, we have noticed she holds strong personality traits of selflessness and bravery, and is described as being attentive, compassionate, charming, stubborn, caring, and encouraging. She holds herself in a very strong, leader type role. One direct quote we got from her old friend was, "all the grace, charm, and solidity in the world would seem like a tiny speck upon a pins tip compared to what Roman holds in just the tips of her fingers, and no, thatās not just because of her appealing British accent. Sheās a mysterious little pearl in any beholders eye, ones opinion of her swaying in different paths from the next.ā We can conclude that this is an accurate description.
Roman on many occasions in her time at RIST and in her past has shown very strong feelings of altruistic acts. Roman is obviously concerned about others more than herself. She, on almost all occasions, will volunteer herself for the harsher tests in the act of trying to get the other subjects out of doing it. She has been shown to backlash strongly against the laboratory assistants if she seems them hurting or harming the other subjects more fiercely and has been detained on multiple occasions because of this. This leads us to the conclusion of her caring heart and bravery. She is very humble. When asked to elaborate on this, her reply was āMy life has had no meaning for some time, but I have never met a single person who does not matter. I have made it a personal goal of mine to protect others from harm if it is possible. Then again, if any of you āāāā where harmed, donāt anticipate me to help you. I deem everyone is good at heart, but I also believe that your souls are too far gone to be saved. That and you āāāā warrant what is coming to you.ā
During multiple occasions, we have noticed her eerie and unknown quietness when being tested. This does not imply that she is cooperative, as an immeasurable amount of the scientists who have worked closely with her last on average about a week, and quit often with nervous appearances, simply stating that this job is not for them. We hypothesize that she scans their brain and learns their secrets, constantly taunting them and threatening them during testing, using the mind link to communicate with them rather than outspoken words. Many of such assistants call her Echo for this reason. But, there is no solid proof so we cannot come to such a conclusion on the subject. When asked if she partakes in such acts, she simply stated āWhy I never,ā in an obviously faked southern accent with giving a small smirk. This struck us as odd as she is never often very sarcastic, and more or less always is a serious person.
We have also taken great notice and interest in her faƧade. She appears to be very mysterious and hard to read, which she is, but when around people we conclude she trusts, she lets such walls down. We noticed that it is hard to build such trust with her unless she herself initiates it, but is undoubtedly a very trustful and caring person, and many trust her with secrets that they normally wouldnāt let others know. People tend to let this girl past their walls, and into their lives. We noticed increased stress levels when she alone.
She is also stubborn in many ways , and can read peopleās emotions easily without the use of her mind link. She is very attentive and pays close attention to the smallest details, and she is quick to remember and recall past events. She has shown many signs of having a photographic memory. Her mind is immaculate, when her IQ was tested, it was shown to be above average, but it is also believed she falsified the results and that her IQ is extremely higher.
āAbilityā || "Ability? More or less a burden. Despite popular belief, I do not go picking through peoples heads for fun, I try to avoid it actually. "
Subject 01 has the ability to link her mind to others.
Psionic Blast:
Subject can cause extreme pain to another persons head depending on how much force she uses. We concluded that a persons brain activity is increased almost off that charts, and that is what causes the pain. So far, the farthest she has gone to having a lasting effect is causing someone to have a seizure. We believe she can go further then that but it hasn't been proven due to her unwillingness to attempt.
Memory Access:
Subject can access memories to some ones past. The level of energy she uses depends on how long ago the memory took place. We also have noticed an impeccable memory on her side, and she can remember the littlest details in her own memories which are vast.
Telepathy:
The ability to read the thoughts of another person, or to communicate with them via the mind link. But, if mind link is made, the other person will be allowed to read her thoughts and communicate with her as well.
Dream Walking:
The ability to essentially "walk" through another persons dreams. She is able to create her own dreamscapes as well within others dreams, just not her own. This power is controllable as she can choose if she wants to go into a specific persons dreams, but she also slips into many in her own slumber unintentionally.
Mind Block:
It has shown that she can put a block in her mind to keep others out. This is powerless against another brain user, but she does have the ability to force people out of her own dreams.

Subject 01 history is still not fully explained, even after having looked into it for very large amounts of time. Roman, when asked to reflect on her past, told us āI loved life; it just didnāt love me back,ā and has since refused to comment anymore on it. From what we gather from past friends, medical reports, child service reports, and other such information from her old schools, she has had a childhood that was not of the average girl. On her birth certificate, it is stated that she was born in Hereford England from a mother named Evita Augustine, twenty five years of age, and a father named Tom Augustine, twenty seven years of age. She attended a public pre-school at the age of four, and at the age of five moved into the public middle school system, where it was gathered she was very shy and reserved, trying not to let others discover her abilities.
Since the age of two, when her mother found out about her daughters strange abilities, she had been visiting a neurologist on a regular basis as to try and figure out the strange phenomenon that is her power. (All medical records kept on file.) The best they could do is come up with an estimate that her brain, which should be using about 10% of its power, was using a few percent more than regular human beings. Her doctorās name was Doctor Fitzpatrick has since admitted to keeping this case a secret until the administrators at RIST found him.
Subject 01 had prefect grades up until the age of seven, when her mother passed on, the official report stating that a drunk driver hit her on the bridge sending the car off the side. After said point, Subject 01ās grade slipped immensely, and medical reports of multiple fractured bones along with the occasional bruises started showing up. A child services report was filled against her father, but neither Roman or Tom would state the truth and where very adamant that she was simply clumsy, so the case had since been terminated. Through gathering counselling reports from her school, we can conclude that Subject 01ās father had a gambling issue and drinking issue, and that Roman would often come to school with lacerations and bruising, up until the age of eleven when she moved to central London. When asked about her fatherās abuse and what it was like, she replied with āYou guys arenāt so different than dear old dad.ā
In her new schools in London, small reports started showing up of kids getting immense headaches, and multiple cases were filed against Roman, as many believed she started playing tricks on them, these people where often people referred to as āBullies.ā This continued up until the point of us taking her, at the age of seventeen.
At sixteen her school called child services after Roman came to school with a broken arm and large gauze running up her left shoulder. After child services showed up, it was concluded that her father had broken her arm, and cut her with a sharp edge of a beer bottle. Roman was then sent to a young girlās group home, where we found her and brought her to RIST a couple of weeks after her seventeenth birthday.

Will be added during role play.
If I could have it back
All the time that we wasted
I'd only waste it again
If I could have it back
You know I would love to waste it again
Waste it again and again and again
Well, I've got to ask
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
(Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again)
