Appearance:Austen has long, straight brunette hair that she often wears up in a ponytail, and brilliant blue eyes that always seem to shine with interest. She is lithe and muscular with a long stride.
More often than not, she can be seen wearing simple clothes: jeans and a t-shirt. She cleans up nicely when she needs to, and on the days when she feels like dressing up, she looks professional and, quite frankly, adorable.
Personality:Austen is extremely blunt in comparison to her silent brother. She has a powerful presence and will stand up for anything she believes in, and, of course, for her brother. She is upfront and honest to the point of being considered rude. When she doesn’t feel the need to protect her brother, she can be fairly easy to get along with. She tends to like people as a general statement and always stands up for the underdog.
Interests:Austen is infatuated with music, something she has gained from her brother. She is also extremely athletic and loves challenging herself. She spends most of her time exercising, playing her guitar, or spending time with her brother. She is not particularly technologically advanced, which puts her at a major disadvantage in 2030. She prefers things natural, which makes her an excellent gardener, when she has the time.
Skills: Guitarist – She keeps her guitar on her at all times and has mastered playing different styles. Quick Learner – She picks up on things she is taught very quickly and very well. Martial Arts – Since a young age, Austen has been trying to find every way she can to protect her brother. One of the ways she decided to do this was practicing and coming to master multiple forms of martial arts. Catlike Balance – Austen is able to keep her balance despite most situations. Flexibility – Because of her years in martial arts, she has learned to keep her body flexible and lithe. ”Twin” Communication – Because of how she and her brother are, they are able to speak telepathically.
Abilities/Powers:Manipulation Austen is able to “give life” to non-sentient objects (as well as anything that her brother summons: storms and plants, included) through focus and concentration. She uses her guitar to do this. The more objects she gives life to, the smaller each object must be, and the more damage they take, the more exhausting it is to her, physically and mentally. She can take physical damage from the destruction of any of her minions.
History: All she remembers before he found her was dying. It was painful, excruciating really, as somebody tried to steal the very core of who she was. She fought back and, eventually, she won. He found her, the familiar face that she had come to call friend. The little boy… Her brother.
They told her it was just a dream.
Since then, she has grown up alongside Erin, fighting the almost undeniable urge to protect him with everything she is. Everything she became, in the beginning, was a source of protection, safety, for him.
Where he was weak, she became strong. She became his voice when he couldn’t speak. She became his protector, his best friend, his partner, and his guardian. She learned how to fight so that he would never have to.
The only time she felt truly complete was when she was around her brother. Otherwise, there was always a sensation of emptiness, as if she was missing something.
As their powers became stronger, it became evident that Erin was unable to control anything he summoned to him. Storms would rage, plant-life would grow but have no purpose, metal would just appear and fall flat to the ground. When she started exploring her own gifts more, she realized that anything he summoned to himself, she could give a life to. She could control it, manipulate it, and bend it to her will.
Together, their powers grew.
Together, they were unstoppable.
Shortly after their nineteenth birthday, a recruiter found them in their tiny apartment in New York. They invited the siblings to the school in Chicago, and after communicating quietly together, they agreed.
