"Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be
your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you." —George R.R. Martin

- 5' 4" (1.62 m)
HAIR COLOR
- Her hair is a brown sable, but can appear nearly black in certain lights.
EYE COLOR
- Sky's eyes are the color of dark roasted coffee beans but mottled like varnished cork.
SKIN TONE
- Sky has a more olive or weathered complexion than her fair skinned brother, having obtained her coloring from their father rather than their mother like Simon.
GENERAL APPEARANCE
- Skylar's pouty mouth and sharp, angular, heavy brows; her squared jaw and petite frame are all at war with each other. She has very strong features that shed light on the abrasive personality within, but softer ones as well to mask her usual intent. She isn't tall or imposing, and attractive enough to deceive those she can't outright outmatch. She has her fair share of nasty and grotesque scars, contracted from a life hard on the knuckles where you wake up most mornings swinging at the sun. Most are littered where clothing can conceal them thankfully, to Sky's relief. It's hard to appear trusting if you have a face like Freddy Kruger.

- Chronoprohiberis — Molecular Immobilization, or what is more commonly referred to as freezing time, is the ability to slow down molecules to the point where they become completely motionless.
LIMITATIONS
Strain and focus limits how long Skylar can maintain her hold over time. It is extremely exhaustive mentally which usually results in her using her power in short spurts rather than over prolonged periods. The more she pushes the limits and her mental awareness affects how well she can control her gift. He range is also a factor; she can only stop time within a short radius. She has been known to get severe headaches and nose bleeds if she spends too long holding time still. She has even fainted on a sparse few occasions. An obvious concern is that if pushed too far for too long, she could expire.
ADVANCEMENTS
[❂] Advanced Level: She will capable of freezing large ranges, entire buildings or city blocks. She will be able to freeze multiple people and keep herself mobile.
[❂] Expert Level: She will be capable of freezing entire towns or small cities and leaving a limited number of people in motion besides herself, allowing them to advance through the Molecular Immobilization as she does.
[❂] Master Level: She will be capable of stopping the rotation of the earth, effectively freezing time everywhere in the world.

- Skylar is an outgoing, straight-shooting type. Enthusiastic and excitable, she is a "doer" who lives in the world of action. A blunt, straight-forward risk-taker, she is willing to plunge right into things and get her hands dirty. She lives in the here-and-now, and places little importance on introspection or theory. She looks at the facts of a situation, quickly decides what should be done, and executes the action, and moves on to the next thing.
She has an uncanny ability to perceive people's attitudes and motivations. She picks up on little cues which go completely unnoticed by most other people, such as facial expressions and stance. She's typically a couple of steps ahead of the person she's interacting with. Sky uses this ability to get what she wants out of a situation. Rules and laws are seen as guidelines for behavior, rather than mandates. If Skylar has decided that something needs to be done, then her "do it and get on with it" attitude takes precedence over the rules. However, Skylar tends to have her own strong belief in what's right and what's wrong, and will doggedly stick to her principles. The Rules of the Establishment may hold little value to her, but her own integrity mandates that she will not under any circumstances do something which she feels to be wrong.
Skylar has a strong flair for drama and style. She's a fast-moving, fast-talking person who has an appreciation for the finer things in life. She's a gambler and spendthrift. She is usually very good at story telling and improvising. Sky will typically makes things up as she goes along, rather than following a plan. She loves to have fun, and are fun people to be around. However she can sometimes be hurtful to others without being aware of it, as she generally does not know and may not care about the effect her words have on others. It's not that she doesn't care about people, it's that her decision-making process does not involve taking people's feelings into account.
Skylar's least developed area is her intuitive side. She is impatient with theory, and sees little use for it in on her quest to "get things done". She will occasionally have strong intuitions which are often way off-base, but sometimes very lucid and positive. She does not trust her instincts, and is suspicious of other people's intuition as well.
She needs to keep moving, and so does well on the run where she was not restricted or confined. She becomes stifled and unhappy dealing with routine chores. She has a natural abundance of energy and enthusiasm, gets very excited about things, and has the ability to motivate others to excitement and action. She can atypically sell anyone on any idea. She is action-oriented, and makes decisions quickly. All-in-all, She has an extraordinary talent for getting things started. However she is not usually so good at following through, and might leave those tasks to others.
Skylar is a practical, observant, fun-loving, spontaneous risk-taker with an excellent ability to quickly improvise an innovative solution to a problem. She's enthusiastic and fun to be with, and a great motivator.
S K Y L A R / S I M O N:
- Skylar makes it clear and obvious that Simon is and always will be her #1 priority, no matter what. The world burn to ash and cinder, and numerous people could die and protecting Simon would STILL be the most important thing to her. In her earlier years, she would do everything she could to protect Simon, but not to the extent of putting others in danger. More recently, however, her mindset has been shifted from "Nobody's expendable except me" to "Everyone's expendable except Simon".

Skylar's story is quite a complicated one. The beginning of her childhood was decent enough as far as upbringings go, she had a loving mother and father--Robert and Mary Faust--and a baby brother named Simon upon whom she could dote incessantly. It wasn't until she was seven that a stranger stole up at her childhood home like a thief in the night, there to snatch away her happiness. He was the mirror image of Skylar, looking more like herself than either of the parents she knew. He had broken in and was arguing with her frightened mother downstairs, who looked as if she had seen a ghost, by the time Skylar made it to the landing. Robert quickly slid into the room from the kitchen with a shotgun in hand and warned the man if he was not to leave, he would fire but the intruder, John, as she now knew, refused. He made all sorts of wild eyed and crazed claims, that he was the siblings biological father and that he had come for his children and their mother as well who had only left him because of 'what he was' which apparently was not fair, he asserted that she still loved him deep down, that she must and was simply afraid but he had control now. He reached out to grab Mary's arm and Robert pulled the trigger.
Oddly enough the bullet never reached it's target, though. It was so surreal at the time. It seemed to stop in mid air, like it were plucked by an invisible hand just before it could barrel into the man's chest. It then went flying backwards with a flick of the man's hand towards Robert but Mary dove in it's path. It must have been flung with a startling amount of force because even with her mother's body acting as a shield, the bullet ripped through her and found Mary's husband. As they crumpled to the floor, Skylar's own screams were drowned out by John's wailing. He had obviously not meant for her mother to die and after clutching her lifeless body and sobbing, he bolted just as the sound of sirens could be heard in the distance.
Skylar had bore witness to it all, losing everything but her precious brother in one fail swoop and her reality shattering around her. All she had ever known was a lie, her life built upon a shroud of secrecy. She was the offspring of a murder and a freak, not the gentle and kind man who had raised her and she had come to know as her father. The siblings were soon carted off to foster care shortly thereafter, Skylar clinging to her 5 year old brother as if her life depended on it, and to her, it did. She would not live without him now. She knew he would not remember most if any of this event, but she avowed to never forget it. Never to forget how fragile life was and how soon it could be taken. She would protect her brother and never tell him of the tragedy so to spare him more pain. They bounced around from home to home after that, never quite sticking or belonging anywhere but with one another. They were only separated a handful of times before the state wizened up to the fact that wherever they dumped them that night, Skylar's home would be calling the authorities by the morning to report her missing and subsequently Simon's foster parents would alert their respective police station that a young girl had broken into their home and was found curled up beside their newest charge.
They went through school, keeping to themselves for the most part and learned to keep their heads down so's not to attract attention, but all of that changed the day they were placed in Margret White's home. Skylar had kept her own powers in check, reluctant to use the side of her inherited from her biological father that had already begun presenting itself at age nine(To her horror, it was something more she had in common with John besides her appearance.) and prayed to anyone who might have been listening that Simon did not possess the same gene. Her prayers went unanswered, however, as Simon's powers did soon present right in front of their wicked and religious foster mother who thought him a demon after the incident and locked him away in an attic room where she could keep him from the other children and whip the devil out of him. As you can guess, this did not go over well with Skylar. She took her own share of abuse in her efforts to get him freed. It was only when she used her power to freeze Margret in place that she was able to lift the key off her and release her brother to escape with him.
They roamed the streets after that for a while, dodging the authorities, living under bridges and in alleyways before Skylar started grifting and hustling for money so they could afford dive motel rooms and diner dinners. They then took to training with their powers in tandem to focus on more lucrative means of survival, regardless of Sky's initial aversion to her gift at all. Bank robberies and shoplifting were the duos specialty. The drew a lot of attention being novices and all and were invited to join Safe Haven. They refused at first, but soon when Simon started showing signs of physical wear from use of his powers, Sky grew concerned for his health and realized she was out of her depth. She accepted the offer without revealing to her brother why and now they both journey to the school to learn to harness their abilities.
