Jack Tithus

WIP - Supernova Initiative

"They're my family - and I don't leave family behind. No matter how chaotic they may be."

25 years old, Jack is the Junction's most wanted intergalactic thief and rebel. Growing up in poverty on one of the most crime-ridden moons of the galaxy, Jack learned from a young age to be resourceful and do whatever it takes to survive and keep his siblings safe. Otherwise, he has a heart of gold, a bubbly personality and is incredibly selfless - the kind of team leader that wouldn't think twice about putting himself in harm's way to keep his team safe.

Skills: pilot (one of the best pilots in the galaxy), high-profile theft/heists, leadership skills, streetfighting, being kind.

Nikolay Avresan

WIP - The Crystal of Ash

19 years old. A fun-loving bard, Nikolay grew up on the frozen province of Rekkari. He was an unwanted child, a bastard scorned by his father for his inability to use magic. After years of disappointments, he ran away from home with his best friend and his best friend's sibling. They grew up together merrily, but after a mistake led his whole world to come crashing down around him, Nikolay fled once again, blaming himself for what happened, and looking for a way to fix it, unaware that the actual truth was much more complicated than that. Nikolay is funny, awkward, extroverted and at times painfully oblivious to subtle social cues, but cares deeply about those he considers his friends.

Skills: singing, playing the lute, writing poems, dueling with a dagger

Valen Cassidy

WIP - Scrapyard Boys

16-17 years old. A rebellious and angry teenager, Valen makes it his personal mission to undermine the government's power in the city of New Omnium, despite being just a homeless mutant kid. On the run from the law and fearing befalling a fate worse than death in the city's labs, he and his friends end up uncovering a billionaire conspiracy on the process of being little menaces to society. Valen is an angry, brash, relentless, but secretly kind boy who also swears like a sailor and dresses like an 80s rockstar-wannabe.

Skils: Eletrokinesis, Storm Manipulation, Electrical Conduction, Electrical Teleportation, streetfighting, parkour, playing guitar

I'll go with lines from Scrapyard Boys, Supernova Initiative, Crooked Fable, and The Crystal of Ash for this one!

Kindness (The Crystal of Ash)

"Why...Why are you freeing me?" The Sorcerer asked, distrust barely masked by the politeness in his voice, as he refused to budge from the floor, despite his wrists having been unchained.

Declan stammered, "Because what they're doing to you isn't right." He said, exasperated by having to state the obvious.

The Sorcerer's eyes - like tiny galaxies with thousands of stars - narrowed as he looked up, "But I'm a monster."

Declan opened his mouth to answer, but Aelia spoke first, and the kind understanding in her voice was honestly the most jarring thing about this whole situation. "We know. But even monsters deserve dignity."

Work (Scrapyard Boys, Adrien's POV)

"And so you work for me - that's the way this story goes. If I say jump, you say how high. If I tell you to do something, you do it. So, when I tell you to get back the fuck in there and stop wasting my time with these stupid excuses, you go back and spend another hour or two on that stripper pole." He said, and though Adrien glared at him, the young man knew very well there wasn't much of a second option. The mobster tilted his head, brows furrowing "Got it?”

Relative (Supernova Initiative, Flashback Chapter)

Through tears, the young nobleman looked up, stiffened in place as she carded her hand through his ice-white locks, the motion akin to that of someone soothing a wounded stray. Even in silence, Kye recognized the brief, barely noticeable glint of outrage behind his Dad’s eyes, mirroring his own, before it was quickly buried under a mask of pliancy. “...Of course, my love.”

Animal (Scrapyard Boys, Valen's POV)

The older man looked down at him, amused. "Hm." Jake stalked around the kneeling mutant, slowly, like a tiger ready to pounce,  "That can be arranged. Eventually. But not until I get what I want."

Regret (The Crystal of Ash)

Nahrieh ran his hand over the smooth stone, tracing the detailed carvings on the temple wall, "I never should have left that island," He spoke, half-whispered, to no one in particular, as if to himself, "If I hadn't..." The Sorcerer's voice cracked with grief and a touch of anger, wondering, "Maybe... their fates would have been different. Kinder."

Landscapes (Supernova Initiative, Ch. 2)

At the moment, the three of them were making their way down a busy inner street in the center of the settlement, the perpetually dust-grey sky lit up by the neon lights of the myriad of shops, eateries, and clubs scattered around and into a maze of side streets.

Future (Scrapyard Boys)

 "Good plan!" He exclaimed, practically giddy, "Man, I can't wait for us to find Adrien's place - then we'll convince him to let us buy all the ice cream we want!"

Weather (Supernova Initiative)

Artemis flips him off with a scowl, glaring at the sharp sleet storm in the wind outside, "You are just the same sorry candy-ass as you were all those years ago, and I don't know why the fuck Jack keeps you in the crew."

i saw your clickbait title (thanks for joining that game btw!!) and scrapyard boys was so interesting to me! care to share some lore/fun facts/general info?

Thank you for the ask, @the-letterbox-archives!!!!! That tag game was really fun, I'm glad you made it! I love to ramble about my WIPs, and Scrapyard Boys is one of my current favorites, so here we go!

Scrapyard Boys is a cyberpunk, futuristic superhero story! It started out as a spin-off of my other WIP Mutant Inquiries, and while it indeed takes place in the same world/setting as that story, it has long since become its own thing.

The plot takes place in a main city called New Omnium, which is on the one hand the heart of the cybertech developments in the country but also a very lawless and dangerous place to live in, with a lot of inequality and prejudice running amok deep in the city. For lack of a better way to describe it quickly, New Omnium is pretty much like a cyberpunk version of Gotham City but even more lawless. In this futuristic world, mutant superpowers have "mysteriously" - or so most think - become widespread in the population of this country many years ago, and are now a part of daily life and another reason for conflicts within its population. The big techs and corporations have long since started to profit from this, and with the help of the government, superhero Agencies (and a training Academy for mutant youths) were established to turn "the best of the best" of the city's mutants into supersoldiers. The main branch of these kinds of agencies, Spectre Agency and the Spectre Academy, are vastly sponsored by the city's PHANTOM Industries - a big cyberpharmaceutical company.

Despite most of the population looking up to the superhero teams that come out of these Agencies and Academies, these places hide a dark, and cruel secret as to how they turn unsuspecting mutant teenagers into these lethal supersoldiers. A good portion of the mutant youths that live on the streets of New Omnium dread being caught and sent to the Spectre Academy - because those who are either are not seen again or come out completely changed. Still, due to a massive governmental and media effort, most of the general population adores Spectre and have no clue what is truly going on within.

The main plot follows Valen Cassidy, a young runaway mutant with electrical powers who has become quite a nuisance to the city's government, and his equally chaotic friend group (composed of other downtrodden mutant street kids). Valen was the son of a genius investigative journalist who was trying to discover what the government and those big companies were hiding, but after she was killed, he was almost sent to one of Spectre's training facilities. But instead, Valen managed to escape the agents sent to bring him there, and ran away from the government, using his dangerous powers to rebel while trying to finish his mother's investigation.

Some of the other main characters include:

Luke Katt: An angry and often violent teenager with a heart of gold, who was sent to juvenile prison after killing his abusive godfather. He escaped containment a few years after to rescue his little brother, Riley, and after being reunited the two ran away to the streets, now free, eventually meeting Valen. Luke becomes Valen's best and most loyal friend. Luke's powers are Healing, Wound Generation, and Regeneration.

Saoirse Richards: The daughter of a foreign doctor and bioengineer who ended up mysteriously killed in a fire, Saoirse escaped from facing a similar fate that day, and now is determined to find out who started the fire on her father's lab. She is a close friend of both Luke and Valen. Her powers are Telekinesis, Psionic Blast Generation, and Force Field Generation.

Gwyn & Rhys Whitewood: Twins, they ended up in one of the Spectre Academy's secret labs after accidentally developing mutant powers after coming in contact with a chemical leak. After three years in captivity, the twins managed to escape and fled to the city of New Omnium, where they were reunited with their half-brother, Adrien Rosetrom, who didn't know they were alive until then. Gwyn was a childhood acquaintance of Saoirse. The twin's powers are: Ice Manipulation, Frost Generation, and Cold Water Manipulation.

Emily & Quince Warren: Younger sister and older brother, Emily and Quince were the niece and nephew of the man who once was the city's most beloved superhero, known as Magmatorch, the two rich siblings had their reality shattered after discovering the bleak truth behind the Spectre Agency's perfect front, and after their uncle went suspiciously MIA, they were made targets by the government as well, and managed to run away just in time. Emily's powers are Combustion and Explosion Generation, and Quince's powers are Blood Manipulation plus Heat Manipulation.

Erin Sterlern: Another runaway, Erin ended up stumbling across a conspiracy after invading a crime scene to investigate the truth behind her foster cousin's suspicious disappearance. Despite not being very close to him and not having the best relationship, Erin swore to find out who kidnapped him and eventually found evidence that the PHANTOM Industries were involved. She ran away from home to prevent her uncle and aunt from becoming targets of the government while she investigated the matter further. Erin doesn't have any powers, but lately, she has started to have strange, cryptic dreams, almost like premonitions.

Josh Aleta: Erin's adoptive/foster cousin, Josh was a brash, often rude, and extremely rebellious teenager with anger issues, a standard angsty 17-year-old, soon to be 18, but he ended up kidnapped by the PHANTOM Industries after witnessing something he was not supposed to, and being set up by his so-called "friends." His disappearance is one of the many mysteries of this story, and though he later escapes, he is very much not the same afterward. His powers are Fear/Nightmare Manipulation/Generation.

Kay Rodriguez: A genuinely upstanding teen living with his mother and father, Kay ends up roped into the chaotic shenanigans of the main cast after deciding to help them out of a dangerous situation. He has a kind heart and a generally no-nonsense attitude to life, and though he never had many friends, Kay never really minded it. He becomes a close friend of the main cast though. His powers are Plant Generation/Plant Manipulation and mild Geo Manipulation (earth powers).
