Gifted. A name was given to humans born with superpowers, or in their words, Gifts. And, unlike many other stories, where people with superpowers are loved and respected, the Gifted are looked down upon, hated, scorned, by everyone else, except by others like them. The reason? Simple. Humankind, otherwise known as Neophytes; or Phytes for short, hate and scorn the Gifteds, simply because they envy the Gifted.

They envy how the Gifted are blessed with power, whilst they watch from the sidelines, only being able to envy the power they hold. They hate them because it isn't fair how they were blessed, whilst they were forgotten. So, they scorn them, because that's the only thing they can do.

But, there are some other humans. Humans are fascinated, with the Gifted and the Gifts they have. So, they experiment on them because the Gifted are nothing but a test subject to be taken apart and toyed with.

But, with new age, comes new times, and a new age rose for the Gifted. The Government put up rules, stating that no one was allowed to cause any sort of harm to Gifteds. Doing so would result in severe punishment. This resulted in many protests, but soon people came to terms with it. But, some people pay no heed to these rules and instead continue to experiment and discriminate against the Gifteds.

After lots of protests from the Gifted along with some kindhearted humans, the government began to take action and forced the public to stop the discrimination and experiments on Gifted. And, so the discrimination lessened and the Gifted were happy.

But, as the saying goes, Happiness never lasts.

Many Gifted began to disappear mysteriously, with no trace left behind. There were efforts made to find them, but they proved futile. Who could be behind this? Could this be a plan made by some humans, or is there a bigger picture behind this?

[ name ] Kageyama Shien
[ gender ] Male
[ age ] 23
[ gift ] Beastman
The Kageyama family's hereditary gift. Qualities of an animal is bestowed upon each family member at birth and Shien acquired the traits of a jackal. This includes a set of black jackal ears atop his head and a bushy tail, but also sharpened teeth as well as clawed feet and hands. Shien also sheds, the fur patches around his neck, back of hands, and feet as well as his hair regular being replaced. If someone were to ignore all the evident signs, the presence of amber cat-like eyes are sure to tip anyone off about his status as a gifted. Physical appearances aside, Shien has a heightened sense of smell, sharp ears, and excellent eyesight which far surpass any humans. They are quite sensitive, however, so strong smells, loud noises, or bright lights can stun him. His muscles are also denser, allowing for more speed and power with every action that Shien does. With his tail, he not only has an extra appendage to use, his sense of balance is also heightened. While he does have an affinity for raw meat and the thrill of a chase and the satisfaction of a hunt, he mostly keeps these instincts in check.

[ appearance ] Shien is a young man with fair skin. He claims to be 176 cm (5'7) but no one's really sure if he's counting his ears (spoiler alert: he is). He keeps his black hair neatly groomed at all times, almost always tying it back into a small ponytail and letting his white fringes frame his face, black jackal ears blending in seamlessly with his hair. He keeps his striking yellow cat-like eyes framed with non-prescription eyeglasses in an attempt to make himself look more approachable. He is always seen wearing thick gloves and boots to hide his claws, tail usually tucked within his pants. He likes to keep his more beastly appearance under wraps, wearing clothes that hide the patches of fur around his body as best as he can. Although he usually wears formal, traditional clothes, he does enjoy wearing more revealing clothes when in private.

[ personality ] To put it plainly, Shien is a child in the body of a 23 year old adult. Sometimes he can be quite dumb and naive, baby-like, even. While he has is very knowledgeable when it comes to actually living, sometimes he makes decisions that leave people reeling and wondering what goes on in his head. It's very easy to trick and prank him, his easy trust often leading to his friends wondering how he's even survived to this point. Despite having extraordinary oratory abilities, he often misuses his handsome voice that lead to some hilarious misunderstandings. Other times, he just uses his voice for over the top reactions, often being dramatic just for laughs. Against all odds, while having superhuman senses, Shien doesn't seem to hear people's words the first time they're spoken. He adores cute things such as stuffed animals and sweets, gravitating to more stereotypical feminine things. Outwardly, he acts more like a husky than he does a jackal. For all his flaws, however, he is an extremely kind and doting person. He treasures his friends dearly and often takes care of them like a mother. He has a wealth of knowledge stemming from his unprivileged upbringing and is extremely compassionate and understanding to those in less fortunate positions. Due to his Jackal traits, Shien can be quick to anger, though his anger is more of a quiet fury than an explosive rage. He doesn't quite understand what it means to be human and often acts more like a jackal, getting very territorial over what is "his" and communicating in loud yell or yap, growls and high pitched howls when distracted, distressed, or threatened. He gets quite insecure about his gifted status however, and does his best to steer conversations away from them. This is reflected in his insistence that his gifted traits are just him being eccentric and dressing up, all of them fake replicas.

[ history ] Born on a cold winter's day, with a ratty blanket to keep him warm and the frigid air to keep him company, Shien was born into a life of poverty. The Kageyama family had been persecuted to the point of homelessness because of their hereditary gift, the physical manifestations a flashing neon target painted on the family's back. It was difficult for the family, and though discrimination was no longer a factor thanks to their fellow gifted's efforts, they still were stuck in financial poverty. With Shien's parents working various jobs, Shien learned to survive on the streets through violence and the edge that having jackal traits gave him. Although he was a shy kid, often mumbling and tucking his tail between his legs, he quickly learned that he had an advantage over other street kids. He was gifted, they weren't. He quickly got into the habit of fighting his way to the top of the dingy food chain, throwing himself into brawls each day to ensure his family's safety and continued way of living. He was eventually found out by his family and was begged to stop. But by that time, Shien had already made too many enemies and some particularly spiteful humans came around one day to harass the family. Although the police were called and the perpetrators were caught, it still left its mark on the young Shien as he say both of his parents were sent to the hospital for extensive wounds. Deciding to shape up, Shien began throwing himself into work, trying out all kinds of jobs. From delivery boy to receptionist, daycare worker to babysitter, Shien tried every job he could and began to learn a few things. One) The world, despite having laws against it, still favored humans instead of gifted. Two) Being himself would close more doors than it would if he shoved all his jackal like tendencies into a box and acted as human as he could. Three) Life was cruel and indiscriminate. With these lessons under his belt and his parent's warnings in mind, Shien began to hide his status as a gifted as best as he could, using the fact that he was born homeless to forge documents stating that he was human. With this new identity, Shien began to live life stealth, his status as gifted only known to his parents as well as his roommate who too was gifted. After learning that he had impressive oratory abilities, he began to do voice work but as it was inconsistent work at best, he also began to work part time. Life was good for Shien until one day his roomate went missing and Shien began to hear the rumors of disappearing gifted.

[ other ] Extremely weak to alcohol and caffeine. Please never give him any
He has a habit of taking in strays and so far has adopted three stray cats, Nekoyama, Koyama, and Nakayama
He works part time as a chef, waiter, and as a book store employer, often putting his soothing voice to use by reading to kids or placating difficult customers.

[ name ] josephine dorothea

[ gender ] female

[ age ] 16

[ gift ] n/a

[ appearance ] made with picrew

[ personality ] Josephine is an extremely meek, paranoid and fragile individual who suffers from hazardously low self-esteem as a result of severe bullying. She's easily intimidated and constantly worries about boring & offending others. However, when it comes to medical affairs, she acts a lot more confident & bold, as it seems to be a field she's very knowledgeable in. She generally wants to be liked by and help other people, but her utter lack of confidence and wish to not be a bother causes her to rarely assert herself or state her feelings openly; if she feels the need, she will more than likely ask for permission from her peers to do so. Even though does well in her attempts to bottle up all of her anger & hatred, she is prone to bizarre outbursts, however, after a couple of seconds she buries that element of her personality and ends up following it with an apology. Sometimes, it's through these outbursts that her negative traits truly come to light. Josie has been noted to be a really passive person, finding it easier to submit and succumb in order to adapt & live comfortably. Despite this, she has a habit of guilt-tripping others, in order to relieve herself of her wrongs and place that burden upon others. She also has the tendency to jump to conclusions about others, often assuming that they must be judging her, or that said person doesn't deserve to spend time with her.

[ history ] Josephine's parents were often absent in her life, and a lot of times, she'd end up unsupervised for days on end. Because of her meek personality, she was often picked on at school. Said bullies would often throw mud at her, draw on her, use her as a target for dart games, and beat her up. Because there was no one to take care of her wounds, Josephine learned to take care, of herself from a very young age. As she became more and more skilled in this area, she took an interest in nursing, realizing that she could have a feeling of control over sick and injured people ー as the weaker people, they would have to depend on her completely and their lives would be in her hands.

She began to enter the medical field, in spite of being one of the best in her classes, she was outshone by those gifted with healing abilities. Because of this, she holds an unspoken hatred towards those who are gifted.

[ name ] Rowan Crane
[ gender ] Male
[ age ] Twenty-six

[ appearance ] Rowan is a tall person, standing at nearly 5'7 or 5'8 with fair skin. Despite being gifted, his humanoid appearance is completely normal, which makes hiding his special traits a whole lot easier. His pale face is framed by short light brown hair, neatly groomed, that drops to his chin. He tends to wear more open though formal wear in public. His eyes are a striking shade of vivid cognac, and seem to focus on the horizon at all times. He has the tattoo of a spotted owl on his left bicep.

[ personality ] Rowan is a steely person, possessing a rather calm and dignified demeanor. He likes to think a few steps ahead of what he is doing at the most part, and for the most part, takes things with a 'long-game' attitude. He's considered to be quite stern, and unsurprisingly, he takes everything in life seriously. A taciturn person by nature who people usually spot working dedicatedly in the background. Despite being so grim, however, he is by no means mean-spirited. As long as you don't say anything too ridiculous or out of place, he's more than willing to explain difficult concepts to you, or simply give you the time of day if you want conversation. Rowan tends to push his emotions and personal desires out of the way whenever he is working, which makes him seem almost robotic in attitude. Additionally, he has a stubborn streak; he wants to do things by the book, to a fault. Outside of his work, however, Rowan is much more approachable. He has many brotherly instincts, and is an adventurer at heart. He enjoys finding refuge within nature, oftentimes within his owl form so he can avoid being badgered or looked at with suspicion. Rowan is an intense peruser of good literature, oftentimes carrying at least two to three fiction books with him at all times. Furthermore, in contrast to his grim and composed demeanor, if he finds out that his favorite author is about to release a new book, he can become absolutely giddy with excitement. Patient at heart, it can take a lot to make the male mad, and even more to get him to actually start shouting. He can give the cold shoulder to people he doesn't like, and unfortunately, he tends to hold a grudge for a long time. Don't try to apologize to him; he will judge you based more on actions than words. Rowan has a strong moral compass, and even though he holds people at arms length, the male tends to give people the benefit of the doubt the first time around.

Beneath his strong facade, however, Rowan is stricken with worry. His sister, Caroline, disappeared a year ago after getting on the bus to go to the tennis center where she coaches. No one has seen her since, and he consistently fears the worst. That she may not return at all. That she is probably dead. He has become a leading voice in the searches for the missing gifted, while at the same time trying to keep his own gift a secret.

[ gift ] [ Strigiform Tytonidae Physiology ]
The first in his line to have this particular gift, though something very similar is shared by his sister, Caroline. It developed several years into his life, first manifesting at the age of five. Not only is Rowan able to transform into an owl — in this case, a spotted owl — he also has many owl-like adaptations. In most cases, Rowan does not like to be seen shifting in public, so he tends to sleep an entire day away in owl form or go without shifting for an entire day. Rowan can summon sharp claws that extend from his hands and besides using them for climbing, he can also use them for self defense. His hearing is far stronger than any normal human; he can even hear mice from several feet away. This does mean however, that he usually wears ear protection, since loud noises can prove to be very unpleasant at best and agonizing at worst. Rowan can also make himself inaudible, that is, completely unable to be heard by others. This can be used in hunting, and if he wants to remain hidden. His final trait is night vision; the ability to see in low to almost no light. He just needs the faintest speck of light to make the darkness seem like a sunny day. However, his eyes soon become sensitive to bright flashes of light, which cause her eyes significant amounts of pain. When transitioning, he wears a pair of color-transitioning glasses, which help her eyes transition safely. Oh, and there isn't any guarantee he can shift either way fluently. He has natural predatory instincts, but for the most part, he keeps them in check when in his human form.

[ history ] Rowan's gifted abilities did not manifest themselves at birth like most, but rather his sister Caroline and him began to show his first signs when he was six years old. He began to have trouble falling asleep during the nighttime, if he slept at all, and during the daytime he became so tired that it was hard to open his eyes. At first, he was prescribed melatonin for this, which helped for a period of time. But as the weeks and months passed, this grew steadily worse. His parents, loving and considerate as they were, had no idea what to do for their child, especially since Caroline seemed to be perfectly diurnal unlike her brother. Rowan was constantly exhausted in class, barely staying awake to hear what the teacher had to say, and his grades suffered as a result. Nothing the parents did seemed to be working, and the entire family was worried sick, Caroline especially. Eventually, Rowan switched over to online school, where he could take the night classes. There, he was able to get the same education on a schedule that worked better for him. Be this as it may, it was in high school - twelfth grade - that Rowan's family got the real wake up call as to what had happened to their son. While attending a party with his friends, Rowan's hearing and light sensitivity began to act up, and before he knew it, he'd passed out on the floor barely ten minutes in. Not only that, but when he was taken back home by his parents, they were utterly alarmed to find - instead of him - a spotted owl laying in the backseat, panting weakly. He must have shifted, overwhelmed by the sudden onset of his gifts. He was bedridden for six days straight, while his mother contacted a family friend, who also just happened to be a doctor, in order to find out what was going on. The truth came out: Rowan was gifted, and with none other than Strigiform Physiology. Much of his abilities and unusual behavior could be compared to those of an owl - which was also where his shifting came from. Like most owls, Rowan's circadian clock only allowed him to become active at night and he would have to sleep during the day to regain his energy. Caroline's gift — Raptor Physiology — had milder symptoms during its onset, and their mother and father learned to deal with it easily, pretending they had adopted two new raptors instead of children. All things considered, he still wound up getting a successful education and moving on to get (various) jobs; it's difficult to work one job if you're always on the night shift. His favorite jobs include librarian, bookstore clerk, and waiter. Rowan was not blind to the subpar treatment of the gifted by the world around them, and tries to keep his own abnormalities a secret. His family was much more tolerant of his gifts than most, especially since it just made him better at his job. But, considering his fragility and lack of experience in physical combat, he's just laying low, even more so since he heard about gifted going missing. At least the night shift pays well!

All was well until Caroline disappeared. She had told him that that she was headed for work one morning, and that they would go out to get takeout for dinner. He waited fifteen minutes past when they were supposed to meet, thought something was wrong, and called her phone. No answer. He called four times with no response - well unto ten PM and then decided to call some of her employees. She was gone. She'd simply dissolved into thin air without a trace. No one had even seen anything, and from what he gathered she's not the only one. And he hasn't seen her since.

[ noted relations ] Caroline Crane (sister)

[ other ] A night owl is all senses of the world. He tends to stay up all night, and sleep during the day. His circadian cycle is pretty much flipped on its head.
Even though he likes raw meat, he tends to settle for 'medium rare' once in a while just to blend in. People are going to give you weird looks if you order rare all the time apparently.

[ name ] Tierney Kyle
[ gender ] Cisfemale, she/her/hers
[ age ] Sixteen

[ appearance ] The first thing people notice about Tierney is that she is remarkably pale; her skin lacks any sort of pigment, and it's somewhat eerie to look at. Her eyes, in particular, are blood-red, covered with a mask of childlike innocence. The reason for this strange appearance is simple; Tierney is an albino, a condition that coincidentally comes from her mom's side. Otherwise, despite the hardships she has endured as a child and as a growing adolescent who was trained as a hired gun, her first appearances is actually not one of hardships and suffering, but rather of privilege and abstinence. Like a golden girl who was molded and shaped into a fine upper-class lady. There is nothing imposing about her. She smiles humbly, a delicate twist of the mouth and bow of the head. Tierney is a tall girl for her age, coming in at a strong 5'8. She's reasonably slender, perhaps a little hardened around her sides, but that is about it. Her face is angular and sharp, but rounded around the edges. Pert ears sit on a regally sculpted head and gentle features, and a long glossy wave of pure white hair cascades down her shoulders. Surprisingly, Tierney tends to wear very pale clothing, whites and silvers and icy blues. She likes to wear winter jackets with the fur rims around the edge of the hood.

[ personality ] On the surface, Tierney is what she is; a girl who grew up too fast. She's still a child at heart, though in the body of a lady. Manners are what make a lady, and that is something that she has strived to become. It helps to distract people from her darker aspects, and as a result, she's become a little bit of a crowd pleaser. She is a girl known for keeping her speech calm and polite, her words carefully chosen. Even when she gets angry, she doesn't explode like most people would. In addition, she has a pleasant demeanor, treating others with kindness and respect. She seems to be very outgoing and animated as well, possessing a quick wit and somewhat blunt sense of humor.

There are two ways people deal with Tierney Kyle when they've known her for a while. Some people only see the young girl that she portrays herself to be, and they leave it at that. However, Tierney is secretive and an escapist. She does not like to talk about her past, and how she grew up - and tends to dodge the question or direct conversation away from it if people start to pry. Her inner self is crumbling, weighed down with anxieties and survivors guilt that is eating herself up. Tierney has trouble forming bonds, and can be considered to be rather selfish and distrustful, since she has learned that the only person really willing to look out for you is yourself. Whether or not what happened to herself is her fault, she does beat herself up for it. It doesn't take much to make the tense girl jump, but she has already made the conscious choice not to choose violence unless her life is at stake. Having already seen quite a bit of the less savory side of town, she doesn't sugarcoat her words, and can come off as a bit rough around the edges. So sweet as she is, she is not someone you want knocking on your door when you realize you've screwed up bad. With anyone.

[ gift ] [ Predator Intuition ]
Privately, Tierney believes her gift is a curse, but this is something she likes to keep to herself. Her abilities have been passed down from her mother's side, although there is no telling for sure how many generations it goes back. Predator intuition is just what it sounds like, the ability to manipulate or push prey in a way that makes them play right into her hands. This is the type of skill for assassins and master manipulators, not a girl who is trying to put her past behind her. Perhaps, she is better off as some beast or leopard in a cold tundra, since her entire array of senses are practically built for the hunt. Just like how a predator can assess all aspects of their prey, she can usually guess - or pose an educated guess - as to where they are going next. What they will do or consider to be the most reasonable course of action. She follows her prey, sometimes for days or for hours. It's hard for her interest to wane as she lays in perfect wait for her prey. She has a very one-set mindset when sent out to find someone, and doesn't rest until she has her prey. Tierney isn't sure what to make of her abilities sometimes. She doesn't want nor does she believe it is right to kill. In fact, she would rather go back to normal than live the rest of her life like this.

[ history ] Tierney was born in complicated circumstances that even now she isn't sure she got fully puzzled out. Born and raised in the less glamorous side of town, above poverty yet not possessing the most ideal of living conditions, she and her mother did what they could to make ends meet. In general, Tierney was advised to do two things; keep your mouth shut and keep your head down. Tierney didn't know what her mother did to make the money come through, and she never asked. There were rumors that her family was involved with organized crime, and she picked up on them almost immediately. When her mother ran out of money, Tierney stopped going to school as she used to. Her world crumbled when she was fourteen, when her mother fell behind on one payments too many. Instead of allowing the gang she borrowed money from to take her mother's life, young Tierney volunteered to take her place in the gang. Tierney has built up a reputation for being a rather infamous face in hired crime to this day, although this came with the price of doing some pretty contemptible things. Tierney put her predator instincts to use and settled for hunting people down and allowing the others to make the kill. Almost no one slipped past her. It gave her the reputation of a woman that you did not want on your tail if you had messed up your reputation with the underworld, because she would catch you and you would pay. However, after being asked to hunt down an innocent family (she did her research), Tierney woke up to what she had become, and was overwhelmed by guilt. She let the family off the hook, told them how to get out of town, and turned herself into the police. Her boss, seeing that he risked spoiling insider information and possibly other important information, abandoned Tierney to die. While she could have been left to rot and possibly face numerous sentences for all the crap she pulled, she was let out after a few months. Turns out someone - a private, low end detective who wanted someone who knew how to get information - was interested in her skill set, and was interested in bailing her out in exchange for her help. The alternative was going back to her cell. She accepted the deal, and has been working on this case ever since.

Tierney hasn't been on speaking terms with her family for a while, and despite the fact that she took her mother's place, she hasn't texted once in years. She tends to just go by Jackie instead of her first name. Her selfish and distrustful attitude hasn't changed since she was bailed out, although she has toned it down a bit when at work. The next year, she found herself taking pity on a young doberman puppy that had been abandoned on the streets. Though taking care of a dog isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you look at her, but it's true that the doberman has provided her with a true friend, something she hasn't ever had in a while. Dobermans are dogs that aren't always welcomed in the public eye, but it takes one to know one. She tends to bring him everywhere she goes, since she doesn't exactly want him to get lost or get taken away.

[ noted relations ] None.

[ other ] Tierney's closest companion is her doberman, Stance. Despite looking quite fierce, he's considered to actually be a rather loving and quiet companion, something Tierney really needs in her life. She rescued Stance as a stray puppy and raised him with love and consideration. He is only aggressive to people that he believes will harm his master. Since he is intelligent enough to separate good from bad, he can start growling and barking almost immediately if he senses someone with ill intent toward Tierney. Unfortunately, since Tierney tends to bring him anywhere, he isn't always looked at with the warmth and love of his owner. Sometimes, she leaves him at a local dog spa/daycare when she has to go somewhere that strictly forbids the breed, but for the most part, she tends to let her dog come with. The boy loves an adventure!

[ name ] Phenix Osiris
[ gender ] Male
[ age ] 17
[ gift ] The Bird of Blades

[ appearance ] Phenix sports jet-black hair and stormy grey eyes, and stands at about 5'7". He has a slim build, and is rather lanky regarding the length and slimness of his arms and legs. His skin is covered in a light tan, though his face often seems rather pale.
[ personality ] While Phenix is no outward fellow, he's been known to trust those he knows the names of. This can lead to a few errors in his judgement, though those are often overlooked by his willingness to succeed and lead a group. In public, he attempts to compose himself as a kind soul, one who others would be willing to follow and trust.
[ history ] Phenix was always looking for a way to get outside, as his wings lacerated the walls of his home and only got in the way. However, that didn't stop him from enjoying Family Game Night or a good book. It just hindered him slightly. Being an above-average scholar, Phenix was studying on a regular basis before sleeping. However, his wings often blocked the light and were uncomfortable to lay on. That went of for seventeen years, each one offering new insights to his Gift and allowing him to better counter the large extra limbs. However, on that seventeenth year, something changed. Phenix started taking a different route home from school, that was quite a bit faster and a bit safer than the original path. For a few months, he traveled that path. But then, an event occurred that changed his life...

[ name ] Anthony Kaur
[ gender ] Male
[ age ] 30
[ gift ] n/a
[ appearance ] Anthony has a tanned complexion with a sturdy appearance. His eyes are a cold blue much like block of ice almost always accompanied by a neutral expression with the slightest pride visible. He stands at around 6' 1". His facial features appear to be rather sharp. Anthony tends to wear darker shaded clothing allowing for wide ranges of movement.
[ personality ] Anthony appears to be rather stone-faced and uncaring to most, though truthfully he struggles with containing his ever growing anger. He is rather intelligent, seemingly always one-step ahead of those around him. He prides himself in his ability to remain composed and on his deduction skills. Anthony is rather secretive concerning himself, revealing his trail of thought to only those he trusts.
[ history ] Anthony was raised in a rather frigid place where sunlight often blinded you as it reflected off snow and ice. His family had lived there for several generations and were proud of it, Anthony included. However, when he reached the age of 21 he left. He hadn't told anyone where he was going, or anything of the sort. He managed to land himself a job with the police department, and quickly found himself hooked on the disappearing gifteds. Anthony has since unofficially started investigating it.

[ name ] Maximum Lancaster (Max)
[ gender ] Female
[ age ] 21
[ gift ] Air manipulation- She can use the power of air to cast people away from her or use it to jump higher and move faster.

[ Appearance ] She stands at about 5'5 and has long black hair with a few strands of white hair that are closer to her face. Her eyes are an enchanting seafoam green. She is usually seen wearing a police jacket that is always zipped open. She wears a matching royal blue shirt underneath and wears black pants, black boots, and black gloves- typical police attire.

[ profession ] Police detective

[ personality ] Max is tough, both physically and mentally, it takes a lot to break her. She is pretty good at managing her emotions, which is necessary for her line of work. That being said, she can be a bit reckless at times; never enough to put others in danger, more so, herself. She is fiercely protective of others and stupidly brave.

[ history ] She has a rough past. Her mother had died when she was young. Her cause of death was never shared with her. Her father never learned to cope with her death. He resorted to alcoholism. While he never hit Max, he never cared for her either. She was only fourteen years old when she was forced to get a job so that she could make a living for herself and her father. But finding a job was never easy. Even with the new laws in place, she would oftentimes be denied a job. Any job that she did have was hard to keep.
Even with her struggles, she eventually graduated High School, then attended college. From there, she decided to join the police academy. She graduated at the top of her class and was able to get a job in the police force. Here, she faces the toughest battle of all. The Chief of police refuses to give her important cases, even though she is more than qualified. Instead, she does nothing but small cases. Because of the growing cases of the Gifted going missing, Max decided to secretly investigate it on her own, with some help from Tierney.

[ other ] It seems like Max never rests. Both with her actual job as a detective and her late-night investigations, she rarely has time to sleep. Oftentimes, the only thing keeping her awake is unhealthy amounts of caffeine and pure determination to get the job done.

...........
NPC~ [ Lieutenant Marcellus Wills ] He is one of the many lieutenants in the city X police department and Max's best friend. Oftentimes, he is working alongside Max. He is usually her voice of reason, ensuring that she doesn't do anything stupid on the job. But, because of her reckless reputation, it's obvious that it doesn't always work. (Forgot to mention, he doesn't have a power)
