Name: River Firestorm

Age: 16

Physical Description: River's not tall nor short, she's pretty average height, at 5'6", with an almost willowy, but still muscled build. Her eyes are blue-green, with flecks of gold in them. Her hair is brown with natural amber and blonde highlights in it. She wears it in a ponytail usually, when she wears it down it reaches just past her shoulders. Her clothes are simple, black sweatpants and t-shirt, with green sneakers. They are of good make, given to her by the Lab. It's one of the only good quality things the "Experiments" are given. River's skin is fairly pale, and her arms are dotted with various healing cuts and scrapes. Her face is almost heart shaped, with large eyes, small mouth, and normal sized nose. She smiles crookedly, but her laugh is the sort of laugh that's pleasing to her, and also makes others laugh as well. She likes to sit almost in a crouch, but with her feet flat on the floor and with her arms around her knees. Becuse of her genetic abnormality, beyond her gifts, she gets sick easily, though she tries to hide it.

Personality: The unofficial leader of the group, River is strong willed and inelligent. She hates people invading her "personal bubble" as she calls it, and if the scientists catch her in a bad mood, and they try to grab her arm, she's apt to attack them. But she's not in a bad mood too often. She's a pretty upbeat person, and always tries her hardest to make the best of a situation, if only to reassure her friends. She can be very stubborn, and when she gets way overstressed she cries, though you can tell when she's sad or not by her eyes, they change to bright green when she's sad. She's very afraid of fire, which makes it hard to use her power.

Powers: limited shapeshifting, control of fire and water (explained below)

History: River was born and raised in a port city on the Atlantic coast. Her parents were both in the military, when they wer on duty River lived with an aunt. However, one time, when her parents were off fighting in a war, they were killed in a fire. Her aunt didn't have enough money to support them both, and she was a greedy woman, so when she heard that a laboratory was paying good money for people, she grabbed at the offer. River was 14 at the time. At the Lab, she met the others, and the experiments began. It was a year before their total completion. During the experiments, the scientists tried to give River power over all the elements as well as shape-shifting. But something went wrong, and River became very ill and nearly died. But she pulled though, though she became sick easily after that. When she finally healed from that first sickness, she found she could only control fire a water, and fire not very well. Her fire power is a problem, as she is deathly afraid of fire. She renamed herself after she reached the Lab. Instead of River StNicolas, she became River Firestorm. It suits her better.

Name: Zeth
Alias: Field Marshal Count Zeth Acubierre Holt
Gender: Male
Age: 28 (As far as you know...)
Race: Terran/Takaran hybrid. Majority Terran genetics.
Height: 6’ 4” OR ~193 cm
Weight: 192 lbs OR ~87.1 kg
Appearance: Click Here
Zeth has short trimmed but not buzzed blonde hair, deep lake blue eyes, and an average complexion. His hair lays in somewhat of a part in his hair, but is usually just swept back. He has a large, muscular frame and broad shoulders, which belie his role as more of an administrator than combat expert, though he is a very capable and competent field commander and fighter. His favorite outfit is his standard Freikorps uniform, blue, black, and silver. He always carries a tricorder and his Rydberg Service Pistol, which is his own design, seeing as he is head of R&D.
Personality: Zeth Holt is an imposing young man. He is ambitious, and will do whatever is necessary to get what he wants. This, in combination with his usual smirk, gives him the look of a mischievous prankster. Not something he’s not known to be, but misleading all the same. He’s blunt yet sarcastic in his sometimes seemingly crass nature. Not that Zeth is a bad person, he does care about his officers, and has a fierce loyalty to Cataphrak Stormraider. But as one person, whose name has been mysteriously missing from official records for some time, once put it: His eyes hold little sympathy. Despite his willingness to prove himself honorable, it is not below Zeth to fight with low, dishonorable tactics and underhanded methods. As he puts it: Honor is a nice bonus, winning is what matters.
Zeth never really had a relationship with his father, who died when Zeth was very young. However, he has cultivated feelings of deep animosity towards both his father, whom he views as a traitor to the family name, and his brother, whom he views as a completly worthless failure. He was riased by his Aunt, and has deep connections to his cousins, especially Serenity. He is also borderline obsessed over his great garndfather, Darian, whom he views as his personal idol to be emulated.
Inventory and Equipment: Zeth is always experimenting with new equipment that he is either tinkering with or that have just been pumped off of R&D lines (which he is head of), but one thing he is never seen without is his Rydberg Service Pistol. For specs on the Rydberg, Click Here.
