The easy S T U F F . . .Name: Kaiser Henry Reed
Nickname: Kai
Age: Fourteen
Member Group: Student
Power(s): Photokinetic Constructs: The ability to turn light into tools, objects, and other items.
Limitations:
~At the moment, Kaiser is only able to hold an object in a physical form for less than a minute.
~His hands glow whenever he is using his power, which easily gives him away if he were trying to hide his powers.
~He isn't able to create anything bigger than the size of a softball at the moment, the more training he receives the more he will be able to harness the sun's power and create larger items.
Weaknesses:
~The sun, unfortunately for Kaiser, is not out 24/7. Whenever it's night time or a particularly overcast day Kaiser's powers are obsolete.
~Anyone who has control over shadows will always win over Kaiser, the shadows block out his powers.
Side effects:
~Whenever he uses his powers his energy is drained quite a bit and normally gains a substantial headache.
~Winters are potentially harmful for Kaiser, the less he is in the sun the more sick he becomes. His headaches get worse, his skin becomes paler, and his appetite lessens.
Etc:
When he has full control over his powers Kaiser will be able to create much more elaborate constructs, though he is years from reaching the power's full potential.
He will be able to create larger items, with possible moving parts, such as a chain or a whip. His powers at this stage only let him create "solid" objects; a stick, bat, etc.
The largest construct Kaiser will be able to manifest would be something around 40 inches(a little over 3 feet) as a "solid" state. He would not have the strength or energy to push past that.
Since his powers are photokinetic, there is a possibility of a small burn, a first degree burn at best. His powers will never be capable of anything more, and certainly could never start a fire.
With his new found abilities Kaiser has begun to notice changes with his personality based on the weather. When the sun is out in full force the kid is happier than can be. The cloudier days are where the kid finds himself feeling down. If the sun isn't out for a long period of time(a few days) Kaiser can easily fall into a harsh depression. He won't eat, will barely get out of bed, and have no energy to do barely anything.

"Uh...hey. So, I guess this is the part where I'm supposed to tell you all about me...and my life...and stuff right? Okay.
I guess I can start off with the basics. My name is Kaiser Reed, but most of my friends just call me Kai. I'm fourteen years old and up until a week ago I lived with my mom in a small town in Texas. I'm not the tallest kid around, im actually probably one of the shortest. I'm around five foot four. I think I weigh somewhere around one hundred and six pounds. Needless to say, Im not a big guy. Haha. I have bright blonde hair and blue eyes, I get called 'adorable' a lot. Which is okay I guess, it's better than getting called ugly.
A week ago I thought I was just a normal kid. Boy, was I wrong.
Uhhh...let's see...oh. Personality wise, I'd like to say I'm pretty happy! Some say overly happy. I dunno, most of the time I just like to smile! I just try to see the bright side of things, ya know? That's not to say I don't get sad, because I do. Sometimes I have really intense mood swings, which does suck. I can go from happy to sad within minutes. I prolly should have gone to the Doctor and talked to him about it...but I didn't want to worry my mom with my problems.
I'd have to say that one of my biggest problems is my shyness. Most of the time I can overcome it...but I have the most problems around boys...especially cute boys. I just start stuttering and not being able to get my words out, then I get embarrassed and flushed, it's just overall not the greatest thing.
Oh, childhood. Okay so...I didn't really have the...best upbringing. My dad isn't the greatest guy. He's the type of guy who likes to drink...a lot. When he drinks he gets angry and when he's angry...I just try to stay out of his way. That never really worked though. For some reason, I was always a disappointment to him. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't ever get the smallest bit of affection. I can't even count how many times he said that I screwed up his life and how he wished he never had a kid...and how 'knocking up your mom was the worst thing' that ever happened to him.
Speaking of my mom, she tries. She really does, but my dad just knocks her around if she ever says anything against him. Ive tried to stop him from hitting her...I used to. The last time I tried to stop him I got an elbow to the face and thrown against the wall. Of course people asked questions when they saw my black eye...but I knew if I ever said anything against my dad he would hurt me and my mom...or worse. So I just lie. I'm actually incredibly clumsy so I normally just blame it on falling down or something like that. People normally bought it.
The worst time he ever hurt me was when he read my journal, last year, I was thirteen. I thought I had it hidden away but I came home one day to my room torn apart and my dad sitting on my bed reading the words that I thought he never would. I could tell he had been drinking, but hey, what was new? My mom wasn't home...I think she was at the grocery store or something. I'm glad she wasn't though...he would have probably hurt her too. I could tell he was both disgusted and angry...his face was contorted in such a way that he nearly looked like a demon. I've never been so scared in my entire life. My dad slowly stood up from my bed, holding the journal. He asked me if it was true. I couldn't do anything but just stand there and cry...I couldn't help it. I was terrified. I knew what was about to happen...and I knew I couldn't do anything to stop it. He yelled the same words again, asking if it was true. I stared a him, tears streaming down my cheeks. The last words I remember him saying were 'I'll be fucking damned if I have a faggot as a son.'
I tried to run, I tried but I couldn't. My legs wouldn't work. I'll never forget the feeling I had at that moment. The feeling that I was going to die. He ran towards me, arms outstretched and hands reaching for my throat. I screamed as loud as I could before his hands were on me. I struggled, hard, but I couldn't get him off of me and soon enough…I blacked out.
I don't remember much else, just that I woke up in a hospital a day later. I was alive. My mom was beside the hospital bed and when she saw me open my eyes she started crying, but these weren't the same tears that I normally saw from her. These were tears of happiness. She reached out her hand and grabbed mine, I was still sort of out of it though and didn't know what was going on...or how it happened. All I knew was that I was alive.
I found out later that my neighbors heard me scream, then saw my dad run out the house, he got in his truck and sped off. They went into the house and found me, unconscious . Thankfully, they called 911 and had the paramedics arrive in time to help me.
The police arrested my dad, he's been in jail ever since. I made a full recovery, it wasn't that terrible…thankfully.
I can't say that I miss my dad at all, why would I? Ever since he's been gone my mom has been happier and life has been so much better. It's been a year or so since he was sent to prison and I can actually come to my house without being afraid for my life.
Oh right, the whole reason I'm telling you all of this stuff. About a week ago I found out that I'm different, that I have powers, that I'm...a meta human. Like...what? How does that even happen? Me of all people, Kaiser, the kid that can't even tie his own shoes without something bad happening...I have powers.
It happened after school one day. I was walking home and it was hot, the sun was blazing down on me. It was kinda weird though because I didn't feel exhausted like normal people do in the intense sunlight. I felt powerful, like the sun was giving me energy, like I could do anything I wanted! That's when my hands started glowing, I was so freaked out that I nearly fell down. What the heck was going on!? Why was I glowing!?
Turns out that's a side effect when I use my powers, hah. They were glowing and I was freaking out and then something even crazier happened. I created something, if only for a split second, I created a ball out of sunlight. It floated above my palms for a few moments before it vanished. I nearly cried! I didn't know what to do!
I ran home and told my mom what happened and at first she didn't believe me, but I showed her. I brought her outside and showed her what I could do. She smiled from ear to ear, I thought she would be freaked out but all she did was smile and hug me.
It didn't take long until someone found me…I think it was only five days. They were recruiters for The Hammel Institute. They came in and talked to me and my mom and explained what was going on with me and how the school could help me control what they called 'photokinetic constructs' which is just a fancy way of saying that I can make stuff out of sunlight.
They told me with the right training I could control my power and learn to make other things, which would be really cool because all I can make right now are really simple objects like sticks, balls, basic stuff like that. That and when the sun isn't out I'm basically powerless, which sucks, but hey! I'll deal with it if it means I get super powers!
I'm so excited to go to this new school! My mom said it would be the best for me and I agreed. I can't wait to start this new chapter in my life!"Behind the M A S K . . .Name: Atticus or Atti

Classes had started already, not that he was surprised. Just because he had transferred here recently didn't mean that they would be putting classes on hold just for him! How ridiculous would that be? Niklaus grinned at the idea. It sure would have been nice though! It would have given him a bit of time to adjust to everything before being thrown into the lions den...so to speak.
The boy hiked his backpack farther up his back as he walked down the halls. What class was next? Nikky reached into his pocket and grabbed his schedule, which was very crumpled, and pulled it out. He tried his best to smooth the bit of paper out before attempting to read the words printed on it.
"Music." Awesome! Nikky knew he could sing pretty well, though he was certainly still an amateur. The boy stopped in the door way, hearing someone singing. Whoever it was was really good!
The boy stood there for a while, enjoying the girls voice. It wasn't until she had nearly finished Nikky started clapping. "Hey! That was really good!" The boy stepped further into the room and gave her a big smile. "Do you sing all the time? Because you totally should, your voice is awesome!"
Niklaus moved closer to the girl and held out his hand. "Hiya! I'm Niklaus Quinn, most people just call me Nikky though! What's your name?" He asked with a small tilt of his head.
