In 2018, the United States and North Korea exchanged nuclear bombs. Two to each country. The two in the U.S took out most of Los Angles, and a good part of Sacramento. And then for a whole year or so, it seemed as if Californians were the only ones who really suffered...but in 2019, the entire nation was subject to nuclear fallout. The past year, the radiation from the bombs had hung in the air and was pushed along by wind currents, and eventually, it came down to earth. Everyone was subject to a bit of it at first. Some more than others, of course. But almost as soon as the first person went to the hospital for minor effects of it, the nation panicked and everyone took all measures possible to prevent from it. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for some people.

During that time of radiation babies, were born, naturally. For the women with little radiation, births went just as births are expected to, with mother and child going on perfectly healthy. But those with more radiation weren't faced with such happy endings. In those cases, it wasn't uncommon for mother or child to die. In fact, in most cases neither made it. But there were quite a few occurrences also where the baby made it...although they all suffered from radiation poisoning passed down through their mother.

In eight of those cases in which the babies survived, the radiation didn't effect them in the harmful way it would be expected to. It actually altered them in such a way that gave them special abilities...superpowers, if you will. Of course no one knew this until the children were around three, and started to exhibit these powers. When a man named Gary Batts caught word of this, he adopted, or in some cases even kidnapped, these special children. After he had acquired all of them, he made it his mission to train them. To teach them how to use and control their powers, and not let having them corrupt them. They were all home schooled, and rarely saw life outside of the house...but since it was what they knew, they all seemed to be content with their situation. Well, all accept for the one child that disappeared when they were all around the age of ten.

---

The year is now 2036. All of the children are either seventeen or eighteen years old now. They've mastered their powers, and have been allowed to experience the outside world for the last two years...they'd even been offered the chance to move out. But none of them did. Not even after Mr. Batts passed away. That particular event actually left them lost, not knowing what to do with themselves.

As if coming from a comic book, they've decided that they must become a team of protectors for the dirty New Jersey city riddled with crime. Because they think it's probably what Mr. Batts would want from them. A couple of them have taken up jobs in order to privide for the essentials, but the rest of them usually stay at home. They'll occasionally go out and act as regular citizens...but only a couple times a week or so. They prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home most of the time. But whenever there's word of some kind of crime to be taken care of, they're all in the action.

Also not unlike a comic book, they have their own nemesis who is trying to destroy them. Due to this person also having powers, it can only be assumed that they are the run away member of their little family. And they have obviously chosen to use their powers for 'evil'. What their overall plan is is unknown. They just seem bent on killing their 'siblings'...maybe, just maybe, it could be to leave them the only one with powers. Maybe it's that they want to be the one to actually protect the city instead of harming it.. But again, that information is not known to anyone just yet.

So for now, they just fight.

The children
Jett +TheOneAndOnly+
Malachi +TheOneAndOnly+
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight (now their nemesis)


There is a lot to read, I'm sorry =\ Please don't be put off by that...or if it seems confusing. Because I will explain anything that needs explaining if you just ask =)
Also, I want an equal gender count. 4 boys and 4 girls. I may or may not ask people to double, depending on how much interest this gets.
Anyway, that's about it out of me for now I suppose =p

Name: Jett
Alias: Ill-luminated
Number: One
Age: Eighteen
Gender: Female
Power: Shadow Manipulation/Animation. Put simply, she can control shadows. This could be as simple as moving one, making it bigger or smaller, or even solidifying it. Jett is also able to give life to shadows, turning them into whatever creature she chooses. But more often than not, they're a kind of scary looking monster-type thing that she can use to help fight for her.
Weakness(es?)/Flaw(s): The main thing would be that she can't alter the shadow of a human in any way. So if there's not any inanimate objects around, she's kind of screwed. And second, her shadows are only truly solid when they're doing the attacking. (She can make them solid while defending, but it's actually really hard to do.) If someone attempts to grab, or hit, or shoot or do whatever else, it just goes right through it and doesn't to any damage to it at all. So, she can't really hide behind her shadows for protection, and could very well be hurt or killed while fighting, even if she's surrounded herself with them.
Personality:
Short biography:
Extra information:

--

Relationships:
Malachi is actually her brother. Her fraternal twin to be exact. So naturally they're close, like, really close. And she just loves him bunches, which is kind of obvious sometimes. They have their fights and stuff and she likes to excommunicate him whenever he really upsets her, but if anything ever happened to him resulting in death, she just really would not know what to do.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Image
Name: Malachi
Alias: Copycat (No one said that people were very creative.)
Number: Two
Gender: Male
Age: Eighteen
Power: Power Mimicry. Quite obviously, he can use another's powers for himself. It's quite a useful thing to be able to do really, and can sometimes actually be quite fun. He doesn't need to ask to borrow powers, and it doesn't affect at all the person he takes from. So he could be using someone's abilities and they could be completely clueless about it, until he makes it painfully obvious.
Weakness(es?)/Flaw(s): If there's no one around to borrow powers from, he's no more a threat than just a ordinary person. It also doesn't work to well to use someone's own power against them...for obvious reasons. And finally, if he's never used a power before, he's not going to be able to use it properly, or control it very well. But luckily, he's been taught how to carry his 'siblings' powers almost as well as they have.
Personality:
Short biography:
Extra information:
--

Relationships:
Jett is his younger by twenty minutes twin sister. And even though they're the same age, he seems to like to pretend that he's about two or three years older than her. Which simply put is just treating her like a little sister, and being more than slightly protective of her. In truth, he Probably loves her jst as much as she loves him...but he doesn't always seem to like to return all of the affection she gives him.

Name: Aden Shea
Alias: Firebird
Number: 7
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Power: Fire creation/Manipulation. If there is no fire, he can seemingly supercharge the air to hit flash point, and then move the fire using his own body's motion. This also gives him a resilience to extreme heat.
Weakness(es?)/Flaw(s): Supercharging the air, and moving the fire take as much energy as running a lap on a track. Also, he isn't very resilient to cold temperatures, thus making multiple layers a virtual necessity during the winter and fall.
Personality: Aden is very introverted, tending not to really speak with anybody. He's hard to read because he usually has a nonchalant and apathetic air to him. He fears being close, but doesn't really make a move to push them away. Because he's so closed in, he has times where he explodes. Emotions will build up until one little thing sets off a giant tantrum. He feels guilty and will do something to a person to apologize. He adores reading and knowledge, especially when he learns something about strategy or philosophy. He spends all possible free time alone reading or training with his power.
Short biography: He always kept quiet and simply listened. He never made much of a ruckus or fuss about anything, and tended to follow without question. Aden was told multiple times that he was strong enough and could think for himself. He never doubted this, but he still thought it better to not make ripples. So, he kept to the shadows.
Extra information: He has a claymore who's blade has "lux in tenebris" engraved on the blade.

Image
Name: Maisie
Alias: (What the public has given them as a hero)
Number: Six
Age: Seventeen
Gender: 17
Power: Emotion Manipulation. She can change people's emotions. Not completly but slightly, and her power gains herself entrance into other people's minds, meaning she can fiddle with other people's thoughts. She can't make someone go from happy to sad, as that would completly exhaust her, but she can make them change their mind on some things.
Weakness(es?)/Flaw(s): -/- Maisie can't phsyically fight to save her life. She's weak, actually. All she has is her emotional manipulating power and even then, that's not going to help her much when it comes to a fight. -/- She is extremely sensetive. You say something against her, and she'll try to get into your mind with her powers, just to show you how upset or mad she really is.
Personality:
Short biography: (May be a short as a few sentences...just write whatever you can think up)
Extra information: (Anything else you'd like to add. Include weapons, if they are needed.)
