The Unknown:
Since the beginning of Earth time I have existed for the soul purpose to watch over this place. Over the years I’ve seen the evolution of this still primitive race and finally they are on the verge of entering the next evolutionary stage. With this next stage begins their demise and with that I can finally rest. I grow weary of their bickering and stupid altercations over feeble beliefs. I can wait no longer. The wheels have been set in motion…

< People carry on their usual activities like any other day. A flash hits the earth creating a wave of energy through the whole world. NASA holds a press conference the next day to explain this astronomical event without precedent.>

Dr. Mollister
“Settle down. I’ll just explain what happened, and that will be all."

"What happened yesterday was a chain reaction brought on by supernova far away in space. For those of you who don’t know what a supernova is it’s the death explosion of a massive star, resulting in a sharp increase in brightness followed by a gradual fading. At peak light output, supernova explosions can outshine a galaxy. The outer layers of the exploding star are blasted out in a radioactive cloud. This expanding cloud, visible long after the initial explosion fades from view, forms a supernova remnant. Now there are 3 peculiarities with yesterday’s supernova.

The first is that according to our research yesterday’s star was not supposed to go supernova for another 7 thousand years. We are still looking over for possible explanations.

The second anomaly is that when the star went supernova its remnant is now larger then the actual star when it had begun, which till recent was seen as impossible.

The third is that when the star made supernova the light it radiated reached our sun and caused a massive solar flare.(as if talking to children) A solar flare is when a small region of the Sun erupts in a flash of radiation and energetic particles. The main driving force behind solar flares is the energy contained in the Sun's magnetic field. Like an elastic band, magnetic field stores energy when it is twisted: on the Sun the motions of the solar surface from which the field emanates does the twisting. This stores energy in the field (or elastic band) in the form of additional tension and pressure. Apparently the energy that the sun received from the supernova sent energy towards the earth in the form of a massive solar flare but according to our research we were not affected although more test need to be made. Thank you.

Gaia Name: Manweru - Senpai
Real Name Anthony (Tony) Di Costa
Alias (code name): Exile (Later on)
Occupation: Businessman
Date of Birth: April 23, 1983
Place of Birth: New York, NY
Education: Art Major
Ethnicity: Caucasian (Italian)

Height: 6’1”
Weight 190 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black

DNA analysis:
possesses moderate level telekinesis (level 4)

History:
Tony belongs to the Di Costa family, one of the mayor families in the Italian mob. Tony’s parents were killed when Tony was 12 years old in his own house. Tony saw them gunned down by 3 men, while he was tied to a chair. The stress put on him by what he saw made him black out and when he awoke all three men were on the floor with blood coming out from every orifice in their body. The doctors said that they imploded.

After that Tony was put in the care of his uncle Michael with his two sons Paul and David. Tony lived a rivalry with his cousins because he didn’t want to join the “family business”. One day when Tony was 15 his cousins tied him to a chair and took out their guns to show Tony how his parents died. Tony remembered that hellish day when his parents were killed but this time he didn’t black out. This time he saw his cousins scream while their noses started to bleed. Tony realized what was happening and he controlled it but the damage had been made. Paul died from a forced aneurism and David went into a coma only to die 3 months later.

When Tony turned 18 he asked for his parent’s money and moved away against his uncle’s wishes since Tony was “all he had left”. Little did he know that his nephew had killed his sons. Tony became secluded and angry although he began to explore his powers to find that he could move objects with his mind. He had then finally understood what had happened. He had moved the blood from his cousin’s (and the killer’s) bodies toward him with his mind forcing it out through the first orifice the body had.

At 21 Tony had now full control of his powers and decided that with his college graduation he should now commence a new life and moved to Boston, MA. During this time he saw that he wasn't the only one with powers. Each day a different crime was being committed by people with extra ordinary abilities. This intrigued him. He lived in Boston for 2 years until he received a letter from a Mr. Mollister telling him to go to New York in regards to his found powers. At the same time when he finished the letter he received a call from someone in his family that said that his uncle Michael was killed and that he should come to the burial.


Gaia Name: Hokazu
Real Name: Alexander Hernandez
Alias (code name): Lex
Occupation: College student/ part time in a anime/manga/ hobby shop.
Date of Birth: Aug/11/1985
Place of Birth: Small, noisy island in the Pacific Ocean
Education: In collage studying to be an English teacher
Ethnicity: Latino (whattap bishes)

Height: 5'11
Weight: 140
Eyes: darkbrown
Hair: very dark red, buzzed.

DNA analysis (powers):

Lex possesses the ability to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of his cellular structure at a rate far greater than that of an ordinary human. The speed at which this healing factor works varies in direct proportion with the severity of the damage he suffers. He can fully recover from an ordinary gunshot wound in a non-vital area of his body within minutes, but

Lex's natural healing also affords him virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as an enhanced resistance to diseases. For example, it is nearly impossible for him to become intoxicated from drinking alcohol. He also has a limited immunity to the fatigue poisons generated by bodily activity, and hence he has greater endurance than an ordinary human. His agility and reflexes are similarly enhanced.

In addition, Lex's healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process.

Despite the extent of his healing factor, Lex is not immortal. He could loose his life if the injuries are extensive enough, especially if they result in the loss of vital organs, large amounts of blood, and/or loss of physical form.

Lex also possesses a skeleton made of some type of unknown unbreakable alloy and superhuman strentgh.(level 3)

History: He's been having a pretty normal life: His parents got divorced, many heart brakes, many acquaintances, little true friends...quite normal. One day when he was 18, he saw his girlfriend kissing another person. He was so pissed he decided to punch something to let his anger out. He punched an iron light post and the light post didn't only bend, it cracked and broke. He looked at the post and there was absolutely no blood. He went to his father, a doctor and after a few analysis, he discovered that his body was technically unbreakable.

Three years later, he received a letter that they needed his assistance in an anime convention in NY. The letter came from some weird doctor who probably got nothing to do with anime or anything of the like.



Gaia Name: Ecco7
Real Name: Sebastian Eriolle
Alias (code name): Saint
Occupation: Painter,
Date of Birth: January 20, 1984
Place of Birth: Rome, Italy (childhood), NY city (present)
Education: Bachelors degree in art History and minor in Theology
Ethnicity: European/ Hispanic
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 220 lbs.
Eyes: Deep Brown
Hair: Almost black

DNA analysis (powers): The power to absorb energy, either ambient energy or that directed towards him, and to project that energy from his body in the form of concussive blasts. Sebastian also store absorbed energy within his personal reserves, whereupon the energy increases his strength and recuperative abilities, as well as affording him a measure of invulnerability. Also, he instinctively knows his location at all times.

History:
Sebastian also known as “Ian” by his close friends and family was born in Rome Italy, his mother a lovely, gentle and caring women, visited Rome on vacation from a small island in the Caribbean, she immediately fell in love with the city and never went back, there she met “Ian’s” dad, a prolific, successful young man working in one of the cities most prestigious banks, it was love at first sight, they married and quickly settled in the Tuscany mountains where Sebastian was born.

He was named after Saint Sebastian. St. Sebastian was born and brought up in the north Italian city of Milan, He was martyred because of his beliefs and was sentenced to be shot to death with arrows, after being left for dead he was rescued by a devout woman and miraculously made a complete recovery.

Sebastian had a normal childhood, he was a clumsy child by nature and spent most of his time in and out of medical care treatment centers where inexplicably the doctors could not determine the reason why this child never bruised or for that matter never even broke a single bone in his body after the accidents his mother explained he had. It was in one of these accidents that his mother discovered that her child was, as she puts it” a miracle of God, a blessing or a re-incarnation of St. Sebastian”. Sebastian was playing in the kitchen while his mother was cooking when she accidentally dropped her knife on poor Sebastian and stabbed his right hand right in the middle of his palm, between the screams and tears they both wept out of sheer horror of what happened she noticed, that after a couple of seconds, he did not bleed or cried, nor bared the scar of the wound, it was from that moment on that his mother knew he was a special boy.
he was a shy boy with little friends, but close friends non the less, he enjoyed reading, drawing and most of all painting, his mother, seeing this interest in the arts enrolled him in “The DaVinci school for the proper arts”, there he immersed himself in art and graduated top of his class in Barroco art and history and thus gaining him access to any art university of his choice, but instead of choosing the most prominent one, he chose to study Theology in the Papal city insisting that he needed more than a brush and paint to fulfill himself, Sebastian grew weary of the arts and longed for something more, a sense meaning and thought that he might find the answers he was looking for in the infinite holy scriptures that abound in the papal estate.

During his first year of his theological studies he was offered an internship in USA, the land where he always wanted to lived, he packed his bags, kissed his family goodbye and flew over the Tuscany sunset over to New York City where he lives today as an assistant in research. One day he received a letter from a Mr. Mollister, beckoning him to come meet him as soon as possible to discuss a serious matter, Sebastian thinking it was a serious job offer , grabbed his coat off the rack and closed the door to his apartment and off he went without giving it a second thought.

Height : 5'9
Weight : 180 lbs.
Eyes : Dark Brown
Hair : Wavy / Black

DNA analysis (powers): Capable of transfiguration one thing into another, changing from physical traits all the way to Chemical components of an object or substance. I.E. : base metals to gold and silver, paper to money, Air into gas, carbon into diamonds, water into wine, flesh into stone, etc. Provided a supply of the required materials lie nearby.

History: Carlos Ortoje, born an only child of the prestigious Ortoje family from Spain. A family known to have some of the biggest and most successful import/export companies in the world. Trusted in the transportation of almost every thing in the world, all from small-business merchandises to priceless relics.

Raised up in the family estate in Spain he was brought up the typical High-class way, accepted in the most exclusive academies, tutors for everything he needed to know, karate masters from all sorts of styles, etc. all without his content. What he mistook for Parently love was in fact the grooming of the family's next Patriarch.

This however marked his childhood with bitter feelings towards his parents and family. He was always expected to obey the absolute rules of his parents and to never question them. What really marked him was the harsh studying regime his parents forced on him. First, he had to give up his dreams of studying art and history in order to take up studies in Business school ( he graduated from High School with top honors at 15 ) all because he was expected to follow the family Business.

He was always pressured to be the perfect child in both conduct and academics, severely traumatizing him when he didn’t meet his parents expectations, always making him feel like a "Failure and worthless successor" every time he disillusioned them. In the end he always resigned to his fate as "The successor" to make them proud of him and not deeming him as a Failure, and finally accepting and loving as a true son.

Then came the time when he developed his powers. During his parents’ harsh training, they stopped pampering him, forcing him to earn his own money in order to survive. During times of extreme hunger or necessity he would mysteriously find money, gold or valuables in his pocket or next to his bed or in his book bag but at the same time other things mysteriously disappeared. He was terribly confused about it but though of it as a coincidence until that Fateful day.

He was 10, he though of himself as the protector of the weak and the oppressed ( probably due to the fact that he didn’t anybody to suffer like he has ). He actually was the “Bullies’ Bully". On that day, all the bullies tired of his "Crusade", decided to gang up on him. Although he was already an expert in Martial Arts and combat techniques he was able to easily dispatch the bullies, however, the fight took a turn for the worse when the last 5 remaining kids ( out of 10 ) pulled Baseball bats, pipes and chains in a desperate attempt to win a Losing battle. Actually feeling scared in a fight for the first time in his life he started throwing rocks at the bullies when one of them actually hit one of the bullies straight in the head and knocked him out cold. The stone had turned into a lead marble.

While thinking what the hell happened, the other 4 tried attacking him and in a desperate attempt to block their attacks he was able to stop the fast coming Steel pipe swing aimed for his head with his right arm. When he opened his eyes, he saw that all the rocks in his hand had transfigured his arm into a Steel Gauntlet. Not losing time thinking about it, he quickly dispatched the last 4 bullies who ran away yelling at him "Freak, Monster, Mutant, Demon…" and other stuff which of course caused a trauma on him, really thinking he was a demon himself.

Later at his house's gardens', obviously freaked out about his arm and wanting to change it back.....wanting to make his "Demon-brand" go away, he saw finally what was going on with him, he was able to expel the metal from his body in a liquid state, the metal melted away from his arm and reformed as a steel ore. Remembering something he heard in a news report about people with strange abilities, he started researching about it. After this incident, he lost all his friends and the bullies feared him even more. Now everybody in school feared him and called him "the devil's child." Not that he minded losing those inferior scum as he thought they would only slow him down. The truth is that he was so hurt and felt so lonely now that everybody feared him, that he kept saying that, so that he didn't feel bad in losing everyone.

A year later, having understood what he was now, he decided to start training his new found "Power" in order to utilize it for his own benefits. He saw himself as being one of "God's Chosen", a "Superior Being", an "Ubermensch", an "Homo Superios" and swore to himself that nobody, not even his family would keep him down from living life "HIS OWN DAMN WAY!". During the next years he would be researching about Chemistry and Business in order to: "Buy the whole damn world for himself". He started transfigurating Metals into Gold and silver, and paper into money. Filling up his personal account, preparing to finance his future plans. It is only know to him that due to the large amount of energy he spent on so much continuous transfigurations, he lost 10 years of his total life span. This also caused a certain stopping in his aging making him look a lot younger that he is.

When he reached Manhood ( 18 years ), having pleased his parents as the perfect child, a cover he would use in order to execute his takeover plans, he was allowed to work in the family's Companies. Where he soon learned everything he could about the power scheme in the corporation and in a matter of months he used most of his resources and accumulated money to buy 51% of the companies' actions therefore making a perfectly legal, but hostile take over of all the families' companies and branches.

Laughing it up on his parents faces when they were forced to sign the release of all the companies to him he felt the sweet revenge on his parents come to fruitition, making them accept HE WAS the perfect child and heir to their greed and avarice. With only 18 years of age, he now was one of the richest and most influential persons on the planet. However, inside him he could not see his parents suffer like he did. Not wanting to betray his creed of "Not wanting anybody to suffer like he did", he looked back on his parents and decided to let them be the Acting presidents of the companies, with him being the Owner and real power behind the throne, receiving 40% of the companies total income straight to his Swiss bank account ( Swiss banks are the safest in the world, so his parents wont hack his account and leave him poor again, he though ahead of every possible strategy his parents could think off). With this he left his parents office, to live it up on his dreams and the last he heard was his father telling his mother: "He bough the whole family off like cheap merchandise and as easily discarded all of us.........that snot-nosed little b*****d..........."

He moved to NY, to start studying art history in NYU, and using his connections he got a job at the Metropolitan museum, where he quickly became friends with the curators and when he finished his Bachelor's, he was offered a spot as an assistant Curator in order to train to become the next Head-Curator. He know lives in a luxurious Pent-house in the top floor of a really high building in Manhattan. One day when he returned home from a late-night expo., after greeting the gate guard (a really amiable and charismatic 50-somethings guard whom he likes to call "Gramps") he checked his mail box only to "Strangely" find one letter addressed to him in extremely fine Pensmanship, checking from who it was, only a name and the city's initials where written: Mr. Mollister, N.Y.C.

Gaia Name:{son of a battlecry}
Real Name: Norua, Akima
Alias (code name): Gate
Occupation: pizza delivery boy

Ethnicity: Japanese

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 154lbs
Eyes: dark black
Hair: dirty brown

DNA analysis (powers): Elemental prowess; possesses earth, air, water and fire kinesis which enables him to control the earth's elements.

They moved into Queens and Akima began his training of his special powers as he noticed that the elements bend to his will. He could blow the wind in the direction he wanted, force the water on the street to move away from his path and cause the fire kindle out of existence.
Sadly three years before the doctor could extend the invitation to the "special teens" Akima had gone under a traumatizing event that left him paranoid. Now he heads in towards the doctor with a strong will to set what went wrong right and a very short temper.

***Next post should be about what you did until Mr. Mollister misteriously picks you up in his limo. Then once were together we can finally start.***

“Hey Lex, there’s a letter here for you. Some guy called Mo…llit…ser…sh!t… something like that here.”With that said, Karina, his coworker, placed the letter on top of the anime, decorated drawer.“…the heck? Who the heck is Mollister?” He whispered to himself after taking the letter from the drawer and opening it up. “Oh crap!” – “Que paso?” “I got invited to participate in this year’s OTACOM. Apparently , I’m going to represent all puertorican anime fans. Kick azz!!!”
Karina’s 17 year old heart beat faster and faster. . “Que cool mano, felicidades, en verdad.” “Gracias… que demaciao'.’” Lex was nervous, happy and worried all together. He never got an invitation like that to go to a distant place and to be there around people he didn’t know. “¿Y donde te vas a que dar por allá? ¿Tienes familia en los nuyores?” Karina asked Lex.“NO. But it says here that I’m gonna stay in a five-star hotel and, apparently, I got all food included too.” “Cool man, congratulations!”
These last words from Karina echoed in Lex’s mind, two weeks later in JFK, New York’s most important airport. He only carried two bags. One filled with clothes and his personal care items.
He was looking a bit lost but only because he was searching for a person with a poster in front of his chest, like he saw in every movie (since he had never been on an airplane before). He walked a few steps further and there it was, a poster that said Otacom and his name in parenthesis. He walked towards the bald, well built man and exchanged a few words and plesentary introductions with him. In about twenty minutes he was on his way to his hotel room. Little did he know, Otacom was not the reason he was here for.
