General Appearance:
Being identical twins, Forrest and Skye are, of course, nearly identical in appearance; the only real difference is Forrest prefers to keep his hair his natural dark brown, whereas Skye likes to dye his a lighter blonde. They are also styled similarly, although usually parted on opposite sides. They have soft, delicate features, lightly tanned skin, and expressive almond eyes that crease whenever they smile, which is often.

They both stand at around 5'10", and are convinced that they are still growing (they sure eat like they are). They have lithe, slender bodies, though Forrest has slightly more build to his than Skye. Their limbs are long and slightly gangly, but it suits their body shape.

Clothing is usually casual; generally plain or graphic tees and worn-in jeans along with a pair of Converse or Vans are their go-to look. And they make sure to never wear the same thing at the same time. They do, however, share clothes.

Personality:
Known for their antics, Forrest and Skye are both very high-energy individuals. When they're not dancing, running around campus filming things, or pulling pranks, they can generally be found fidgeting with random objects in an attempt to make a robot or performing in theater. When they're forced to sit still, they both get twitchy and usually find something to do with their hands; otherwise, they go craaazy.

In general, though, Forrest is the more 'bookish' twin, while Skye is slightly more adventurous, though they both thirst for action - Skye's just a bit more daring. You're more likely to find Forrest reading and studying in the library than his brother, who would rather say to heck with studying and go outside to find something to record and some rules to break. Of course, the more connected they become, the more these personality differences are blurred together, but they are still somewhat separate for the time being.

They're both easily distracted with shiny shiny things and also quite gullible. They also have a hard time following instructions from other people and would much rather do things their way, even if it means potentially messing things up. They're very hands-on and want to try everything themselves; they almost never say no to trying something new. Ironically, though, they're also very easily spooked, and extremely superstitious. While they put up a brave front, they are more often shaking in their shoes.

Quirky is a good word to describe them; weird is one that is used more often.

Girls are strange creatures that they want to understand, but are very uncertain of. They are also uncertain of whether or not they're interested in boys or not too; Forrest feels more attracted to them than Skye does, but they're both not sure how they feel as individuals or together. They try to flirt, but are really not that good.

History

Forrest and Skye were born in the town of Ottawa, Ontario, to a happily married couple who had already had their first child, Chord, three years earlier. Since their older brother had been named after their father's ability, they were given the names Forrest and Skye based on their mother's - it was a tradition in the family to name children after the parents' abilities, since it was rare for a family member not to be a meta-human.

Even from a young age, the two got into all sorts of mischief (as twins are wont to do), picking on their elder brother, making messes, and getting frequent time-outs in primary school. They were nearly inseparable, and their parents could only wonder if they would end up being a gestalt pair, as twins and gestalts were not uncommon in the family.

When the boys were nine, Chord's abilities manifested, as everyone had expected, and he was taken to Hammel soon after, leaving the twins a bit sad and even more prone to getting into mischief now that their primary target had been taken away. They had always been a lot different from their older brother, but they loved him all the same, and they were looking forward to the day where hopefully they, too, would be able to go to Hammel.

As they entered their tween years, they discovered Youtube, and immediately asked their parents for a video camera. They were granted a cheap camcorder that they grew to love, recording everything and everyone they found interesting. They also discovered foreign music during this time, and started taking dance classes together only to find they had a natural talent for it, especially when coordinating their dances together - it was almost like they could read each other's minds already.

Just after their fourteenth birthday, they two were up to their usual mischief, scrambling around town and recording random things. They happened upon a stray dog that at first seemed lost and lonely, but quickly became feral, lashing out and managing to bite Skye on the calf. But instead of just Skye screaming in pain, Forrest could feel it too, as if it were his own leg being bitten rather than his brother's. They managed to get away and get home, where they told their parents what had happened between scared sobs. Skye was taken in and treated for the wound, but soon after, as they all suspected, the Hammel recruiters came and confirmed what they had been expecting for a while.

And so they were taken to Hammel and reunited with their brother, as well as other cousins and family members that had arrived at Hammel before them. They continue to be the mischievous pair that they are, almost never seen without a video camera in one of their hands or dancing around to their own music. They're not quite ready to be completely bonded yet, but they're starting to get more used to the idea as time goes on.
