Background:
Hide-and-seek, alongside its many variants, is a very simple game to understand and play: all you need is multiple people. The simplicity in the game is evident, even infant animals practice it in some capacity. Tag was born when this game first gained an enormous surge in popularity through the culmination of two conflicting thoughts: "I must find them" and "I must hide". His first memory he had was that of a request from a small child, "Help find my friends", which he complied with before being told "You're it!" afterwards.

This was taken as an incentive to hide, so Tag promptly disappeared, remaining in hiding for 300 years before coming to the realisation that he had won, and not been found. After this, he began to search for items on request, as well as hiding things, before finding himself in the realm of recruitment. Finding devils who fit the bill for summons was a challenging job, but he found it fulfilling nonetheless. It became apparent that the summoning business was becoming less profitable so Tag decided on a career change.

Personality:
Rather obsequious, and occasionally sycophantic. He is always primed to kowtow to anyone of a higher authority, and believes in hierarchical structures, where those below respect those above - when he thinks the pecking order is being ignored, he is quick to address it. Nothing prompts a visceral reaction from him as he tends to stick to himself, behaving rather socially awkward around those he isn't talking to in a official or business setting. He competently understands the darkness in people and what motivates greater evils in people, however has very little experience with the altruistic or positive natures of humans and isn't convinced it exists. Whilst working for employers, he is quick to complete tasks and approaches them with alacrity.

Powers:
  • Dimensional subspace: Tag can enter and store things within a dimensional pocket in reality, enabling him to traverse large distances instantly as though via teleportation, and keep things hidden. He can enter this pocket, seemingly via shadows. This ability served him well as the hide and seek champion that he had become over the years, and made espionage, tracking, and hiding a piece of cake. His subspace has been renovated over his years of life, made more and more homely and comfortable over time, and can act as a nice place to relax. He uses it as a sort of storage for inanimate objects, the functionality of his ability serving as an inventory space
  • Shape shifting: He has the ability to shape-shift, as many devils do to ensure a presentable look in the realm of people.
  • Devilish constitution: Tag's body is that of a devil, which comes with a few benefits that include negligible senescence and is has extremophile-level physical resilience, able to survive at immense pressures and with no food or oxygen. Destruction to his body that would cause death (such as removal of the head) will essentially "unsummon" him to his home dimension where his body recovers after a period of time dependent on the extent of damage, ranging from several hours to a few years, with the average "death" leaving him incapacitated in his home dimension for a week.
 
Full Name: Johnathan Crome View attachment 5836
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Species: Mutated Human
Appearance: Dark hair and has strong features, leading him to have a natural air of confidence and apparent calmness. His most striking feature are his dark eyes which systematically judge and bore into anything there may be in his vicinity. There are no discernible markings on any part of his body.

Skills:
  • Hand to hand combat
  • Lock picking Surveillance
  • Reconnaissance
  • Knife/Dagger handling
  • Marksmanship
  • Lying
Flaws: Although quite fit and agile, and having some height, his overall physical strength isn't that impressive, and he can become overpowered by someone of larger size and strength. He prefers to tackle these opponents with superior speed and agility. He also holds a bit of a weak spot for young children and attractive women, and this may cloud his decision making and priorities. He has not tried to test the limits of his ability since he saw a YouTube video about how dangerous fast things can be and is scared that he might accidentally create a massive shock wave or travel through time so he has somewhat limited his potential.
Fears: Settling down somewhere with a stable income and happy family, i.e. becoming his parents.

Likes:
  • Painting
  • Fizzy drinks
  • Photography
Dislikes:
  • Getting emotionally attached
  • Staying still
  • Monotony
Background:
Unlike many who enter the profession of killing, no circumstances or upbringing thrust Joe into the world of assassination. There's no trauma, no abuse, no nothing. He was always encouraged to take up a hobby by his parents and teachers as a child in order to "expand his horizons". So he did. Initially, it began with hunting animals, then, hunting people. He was good at it too, with no target ever escaping after Joe set his eyes on them. Contract killing seemed like a great way to vent anger, get some exercise, and earn some money, so it was an ideal profession for him, especially with the scary speed at which he could mark down and chase his prey. Assassination being a game of stealth and recon, his capability to zip around at inhuman speeds and fire pebbles at immense speeds (thereby leaving little evidence) allowed him to excel, and he remains on the path of contract killing.

Personality:
The thing that Joe understands best is himself - and knows the effects his actions have on other people and the effects that other people have on him. He is rarely confused by what he is feeling, and this leads him to have a very clearly defined understanding of who and what he does and doesn't like. His innate understanding of himself allows him to be in control of himself, so he rarely exhibits his true emotions on the forefront, instead of working to keep the people around him happier than he is. This can become a flaw when people pick up on the fact he's not being true to himself, preventing people from getting too close, and keeping them a fixed distance away, yet always getting into social situations with many people.

Powers:
  • Acceleration:
    • can increase the velocity of his own body, enabling super speed
    • can increase the velocity of objects he comes into physical contact with for as long as they are in physical contact with him, causing them to become projectiles
    • larger and more massive objects require longer periods of contact to speed up
    • can increase the rate at which things occur, such as healing cuts, giving him limited healing abilities by speeding up the natural healing process
 
Full Name: Thomas Turner View attachment 5837
Nicknames/Alias: Tom, Bug Boy, The Swarm, The Insect
Age: 24
Height: 5'11 (The Insect stands at 7'0)
Weight: 80kg
Gender: Male
Species: Pure-bred Shifter
Skills:
  • Computer whizz (coding and programming)
  • Eavesdropping
Likes:
  • Sweet things
  • Smaller and darker environments
Dislikes:
  • Snakes
  • Fires
Background:
Grew up as about normal a bug boy can, hiding his abilities, other than this, he lead a pretty ordinary life, getting through school but not ever really having many close friends, although he was involved in a car crash in which he nearly lost his life at a young age, but survived due to the emergence of the Insect.
Personality:
Generally quite reserved, however does enjoy spending time with people despite not talking much when with those people. He prefers to observe rather than participate, and is content with watching others having a good time. He holds a bit of an inferiority complex due to literally being made of bugs, and the negative reputation of them, so rarely ever shifts into his other form as normal life has no real use for it. Weaknesses: When acting as a swarm, each arthropod is vulnerable to whatever they are weak to individually, such as fire.

Powers:
  • Chitinous skin: provides a resistance against piercing attacks such as knives whilst in human form
  • "The Swarm":
    • an amalgamation of arthropods that his mass dissipates into, where Thomas has full control of the hive mind, but not of any individual creature within the horde. The loss of 25% of the colony forces the individuals to retreat into the main human form, and damage beyond this may become afflicted onto the human form dependent on the extent of the damage.
  • "The Insect":View attachment 5838
    • a fail-safe that Thomas cannot shift into, nor control or have any recollection of what occurs in this state, as it only appears when Thomas is under extreme stress, such as in a near death state. The abilities of this are not fully understood by Thomas, however, it can be inferred it has the abilities of a scaled up insect. This form has only appeared once before.
