According to my knowledge and a touch of common sense, this is how oppositional elements should sort themselves out. More or less. I'm pointing this out because of what seemed to be some elemental confusion some pages back.
Light – Dark
Lightning - Metal OR Nature (nature more of a representation of the element of "wood" in this scenario)
Earth - Wind
Fire - Water
Nature - Metal (nature more of a representation of the element of "wood" in this scenario, again, if memory serves me right) OR Ice
I'm sure I'm wrong in a couple of places, but most pairings should be rather accurate.

Okay here goes. I know there are inconsistencies or things not explained well enough, and I know I should mention her needing Distrum more often, and stuff. lol But I promise I know this and will tweak it later. But I've been working on this for a couple hours now and I'm tired and really I should be busy doing other things but I did this instead. Oh man I'm going to be up all night now. >_< I really started to rush things at the end. :/
Oh my it's so LONG! D:
Name: Emma Marie Johnson
Code Name: 000 000 008 Vacker Påsklilja
Gender: Female
Age: Nineteen
Time in Viola: Eight
Physical Appearance: Bright red hair, blue eyes. Freckles all over her face, shoulders, and arms. Rather curvy, athletic body. She was slightly chubby as a child but her combat training whipped her into top physical condition along with her peers. She likes to wear yellow and orange with accents of green to signify the color of the daffodil, her birth flower, in the form of a t-shirt and pants. Good clothes for gardening as well as kicking ass in combat training.
Personality: Emma tries hard to have a cheerful and friendly demeanor with all around her. She has a great fear of getting into trouble and when she was younger often had panic attacks whenever she made a mistake. This fact was often attributed to the fact that she was older than normal when she was taken. She had been eleven, and many had argued to leave her alone because she was too old to be molded into one of their perfect warriors. Yet her powers were unique and had even been evident before the initial experiments, so the decision of the board of directors had been unanimous, even if ill informed; acquire the girl at all cost.
Emma had a harder time adjusting to life in the Viola underground than most of the other test subjects, but she always fought to hid that fact, and she tried hard to become friends with the other children. Her true personality had never been fully subdued because of her age.
Now that she’s older she no longer has many of the problems that plagued her in the earlier years of her entrapment, but she still berates herself mentally any time she fails a set task.
Power: Emma has the ability to control plants and other aspects of nature. She was known to be able to even before being incorporated into the Destrillian Poject, however after becoming a test subject her powers waned. She has since regained the ability to control small plants and make them grow. She can also make seeds germinate, but her power hasn’t progressed much beyond that.
However when under a great deal of stress and the safety of a loved one is threatened she experiences a rapid spike in her power. There was once an incident in which Emma became desperate and somehow managed to cause a group of trees to attack a group of enemies and do her bidding. It is in times like this that she seems to show bursts of power, however not without causing her great pain and fatigue. The incident caused her to be incapacitated for an entire week.
Before the project Emma was known to be able to cause a field of crops to grow even in the most unfertile of soil after days of hard work. Perhaps it was what she was doing that helped, or perhaps it was merely her presence. It was never a quick or instantaneous affair, and often times only a part of the field would be affected, but it was noticible by key figures nonetheless. Unfortunately, however, while the current crops would yield a plentiful harvest the next year’s were just as pitiful as they were before Emma arrived.
Destrillian History: The Viola scientists view Emma as a bit of an oddity even amongst her equally odd peers. For starters she seemed to have a very strong ability even before she was taken. Secondly, she actually seemed to loose this ability over time. After her mind was wiped of all memories she temporarily took on a disinterest to everything the scientists wanted her to do. This was coupled by the fact that no matter what they did and no matter what drugs they gave her to cow her into submission, Emma could no longer manipulate plant life. To serve as icing on the cake her hair color, which had been a bright almost unnatural shade of red before, had faded to a more natural looking strawberry blonde. Most other subjects’ hair color change was opposite, going from normal to abnormal.
There was discussion of her being labeled a failure and kicked out of the project, but one scientist had grown to care for the little girl as her own daughter, and knew that to be deemed a failure in Viola as a fate worse than death. Her name was Dr. Natasha Nedews, and she had been recruited to the Viola science department from another country. She spoke with an accent and referred to Emma as “Vacker Påsklilja,” or “Beautiful Daffodil” in her native tongue.
On the day of Emma’s thirteenth birthday, the first day of spring, Dr. Nedews decided to break the rules and give Emma a birthday present. She gave the girl a daffodil seed and told her to hide it in her sleeping tube. Emma hadn’t even known it was her birthday due to her memory being wiped, and was excited to actually own something. She slept with it clutched in her hand every night and, after a week had gone by, it began to sprout. Emma secretly told Dr. Nedews what had happened and both were thrilled.
Over time Emma began to respond to the experiments in a more positive manner. Her hair also slowly returned to it’s original red hue. All of the viola scientists were thrilled, except for Natasha. She began to have her doubts about the project, and felt nothing but guilt toward what she was a part of.
One night she woke Emma from her sleep and told her that they were going to be doing a special test. The two of them quietly made their way through the basement levels of the Viola complex, Emma dressed in a white lab coat to pass as a scientist and wearing a baseball cap with her hair tucked up underneath.
Dr. Nedews took Emma out a back way and actually managed to make it outside. It was a strange sensation for Emma, who had no memory of the outside world at all. The moon shown brightly above them as they made their way through a nearby wooded area. Emma couldn’t help but stare at it. Unfortunately it only served to blind her in the darkness when they were attacked.
Figures dressed in black came out of nowhere and ambushed them. Emma fought them of with her combat training the best she could but there were just too many. They were able to easily over power her. But when she heard Natasha cry out in pain something was awoken inside of her. All the trees in the surrounding area began to creek and shake. Their branches grew longer and began to swing around as if the trees were throw fists and trying to punch them.
It was all too much for the attackers to handle and they were soon all beaten to the ground. As they lie panting and gasping with pain Emma succomed to fatigue and the trees stopped. As soon as she was away of herself again she felt a wave of nausea and began to develop a severe migraine. It was then that voice called out from somewhere behind in the darkness. A man emerged, clapping his hands as he walked toward the scene of destruction. He told Emma that the test was over and that she had passed with flying colors. Believing him the girl allowed herself to be escorted back to her sleeping chamber.
The next week found Emma too exhausted to be able to participate in any training or tests. Also, she noticed that Natasha was nowhere to be seen. When Emma asked about her she was told that the female scientist was currently working on another project and couldn’t spare the time to come down. Days turned to weeks, which soon became months, then years. Dr. Nedews never came back, and eventually Emma quit asking. However she never forgot.
Forgotten History: Emma Johnson was born and raised in a small town in the country. She lived with both her parents, an older brother, and a younger sister. Her family didn’t have much but they were happy, living sustainable lives as farmers and generally being well liked in their community. It was a quiet area mostly untouched by the wars of the rest of the world. The harshness of the hierarchy and social prejudices of the major cities had no barring on the life of the local population. They all carried on living simply with the land and paid no mind to anyone else.
Emma always had a natural talent for gardening and won many awards by joining a local agriculture club at the age of eight and competing in the local county fair. Her abilities to grow plants began to attract much attention. At first she was featured in local newspapers and agricultural magazines for her accomplishments, then she was asked to make appearances at large gardening conventions and met with top garden experts.
The general state of the rest of the world after the Great War made growing crops in many areas difficult. This resulted in much poverty and starvation and the widening of the gap between the upper and lower classes. It was thought that perhaps Emma had the golden touch to be able to solve the crisis.
The little girl found all of the attention to be very bloating for her ego. She was far too young to be able to understand most of what people were hoping her to accomplish in the name of mankind, and in addition only cared about all of the attention and praise people gave her when she was suddenly able to make a garden or a field of crops or even the smallest of wilted flowers spring to life.
However her abilities also garnered attention from less than favorable folk as well. Her parents had always warned her about displaying too much of her abilities, a rule that Emma never took seriously and always wanted to break. Nevertheless she was an obedient child and was always too afraid of getting into trouble to be able to do something wrong.
At receiving a special invitation to attend an agricultural summit held by a panel of diplomats from all nations, Emma made her farthest trip away from home ever. Her father traveled with her as he always did, not trusting his daughter to the care of anyone else for fear of her being used. This was especially so given the nature of the summit; to discuss the widespread famine that effected much of the globe.
Emma attended the first day of the summit and found that she was very bored. Lots of old people talking and none of it making much sense to her. By this time she had already reached the age of eleven and had some knowledge of what was happening but never really cared or thought that any of it was important. However, in the middle of the proceedings a group of rebels attacked and took everyone in the building hostage. Emma was frightened but her father protected her. He got into a scuffle with one of the rebels who then hit him over the head with the hilt of his gun. This angered Emma greatly and, forgetting about the rule to not use her powers to their full extent, made a nearby potted vine plant on display grow many times it’s normal size and snake out quickly to strangle the man to death.
Fortunately this event transpired in one of the side exhibit rooms so not many people were witness to the event. However those that were could only stare at the scene in shock, half in denial that what they had seen had really happened. Emma could only stare down at the dead rebel in shock, and didn’t even notice her father take her by the hand and pull her away. They somehow managed to escape detection on the way to the exit and made it to a bus stop.
Emma and her father thought they had made a clever escape, when in actuality they had done exactly what had been hoped they would do. While riding on the city bus it was crashed into by a semi truck and turned over. The last thing Emma remembered before waking up in the underground Viola facility was her father pinned under a seat, unconscious, and Emma screaming for him to wake up as a group of paramedics placed her on a stretcher and wheeled her into a ambulance, after which she felt the prick of a needle in her arm upon closing of the doors.
So? Yay/nay?

Well I'll be honest with you, I only skimmed it thus far and there's only one issue I have with it, being the clothing bit. Granted, I dunno if you're uncomfortable with it but they don't start off with normal everyday clothing. They do start off nude (srs here folks no n00dz) and then take on either scientist robes, or pick up their interaction robes.. Bascially they're given very basic clothing. But other than that, I love it.
I love how you gave her her own Viola Scientist, which is ideal for everyone too. As well as how you gave her two separate histories. You really got carried away, but it's excellent!

Oh good, I'm glad you liked it! 
Once I get an idea in my head my imagination can sometimes run away with it. lol
Also I didn't realize she could only have a robe. I just thought it was one outfit of whatever. lol I'll change that. I guess in my head I thought of these clothes being given to her by the scientist, and doesn't someone else have pants and a top? But either way will change.

Yeah, that's ideally how they'll be split up. However I still want to encourage other joint attacks. Of course right away, everyone won't be paired up with their polar opposite (except for you and Bex
) but joint attacks say with.. fire and dark could work for a horrifying experience on the recipients end. Lightning and Water would work well.. And Nature and Earth... Fire and Light maybe even... I want to present as many opportunities for joint attacks this time around, mixing everyone up. So there will be more than one time where we get split up, but with different people.

Despoilered. lol It was just so long I wanted to shorten it.
Also I think I may redo how she was captured, but that's probably not really important so you can go ahead and start.
Also, I'm probably not going to be online again until next Tuesday. That going to be a problem? :/

I've tried and I've tried, but recently I've been unable to create interesting/complex characters without hurting my brain That said, I'm somewhat apprehensive about what my first posts are going to do to my head 
Name: Erthys Connor-Guzman
Code Name: Destrillian Prototype # 000-000-002 – Thunder Child
Gender: Male
Age: 22 (9 years captivity)
Personality: At the early stages of life, Erthys’ home was in a state of decay and conflict, attributing to a dislike for authority. At the beginning of his time in captivity, he displayed a certain sense of flippancy, even when he understood the extent to which these “experiments” would affect him.
Erthys, for the most part, is an optimist, a surprising contrast to other Destrillians around him. He feels that he was ‘rescued’ rather than ‘given’ from his parents, and as such feels a degree of gratefulness towards them. Because of this, he is largely subservient and willing to partake in tests, although occasionally a mischievous streak may show itself. As to other Destrillians, he looks upon them as ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ and always hopes to provide an emotional foothold upon which their lives could be made a little better. His efforts, while for the most part futile, are examples of his paternalistic nature.
However, long years of experimentation have led to a hardly noticeable but gradual and constant deterioration of Erthys’ mental health. While he continues to maintain his comparatively bright and cheerful personality, the maturity gained from his experiences has started to plant the seeds of doubt into his mind. While he still unquestionably follows the orders of the Viola scientists, he occasionally wonders about his future, and whether he will die as he lived: a scientific experiment for genetic superiority.
Physical Appearance: Erthys’ physical appearance has been changed both to suit the specific needs of the scientists and also as a byproduct of unrelated scientific procedures. Once dark-brown/black hair has been faded into white, although hardly noticeable as it has been shaved to millimeters from the head. White stubble covers his chin up to his ears, which also hides a long thin scar reaching from the left side of his neck all the way up to the left corner of his mouth. His eyes are a multitude of shifting colours, but are dominated by flecks of electric blue, white and yellow. A heavy jawline completes the image of a heavyset man.
Erthys’ years of physical conditioning has left him very muscular and built for the extremes for hand-to-hand combat along with other modes of fighting and endurance, although compared to the others, he is slightly shorter and stockier in height and build. His skin is a very light shade, although this has arguably been the case for the most part of his life.
Like many of the other Destrillians, when not interacting with other Destrillians, he does not wear clothes. Interestingly, he is a little self-aware over this issue, but is, of course, ever-accepting to obey the rules of Violan personnel. When interacting with the others during “recreation”, he wraps himself in voluminous robes of white, streaked with light blue and yellow.
Elemental Power: Lightning
Physical/Elemental Abilities: Erthys’ powers are fairly average in comparison to the other Destrillians. Despite having been in captivity for quite a while (more so than most others in the facility) Erthys’ powers are still a little unstable, and at times, unpredictable. His attempt to bring his abilities under complete control has been a slow process. Erthys’s hand-to-hand skills has been rooted in ‘hard’ martial arts styles, but he excels in finding creative solutions to problems. He especially enjoys using makeshift weapons and loves to use objects he can run a current through, like, for example, metal chairs and tables, and puddles of water.
Erthys has the ability to control electricity, in particular controlling lightning and electric currents. By sheer force of will, he can use himself as a conduit to complete a circuit without causing any harm to himself, generate electricity, and, drawing from that ability, he can create large electric arcs, run electricity through objects to vary degrees, and even manipulate matter by toying with the very electrons of atoms. While Erthys’ abilities do not depend upon an existing source of electricity to empower him, he can amplify his elemental strength by carrying and dispersing huge electrical charges within his body. The unpredictability of his powers is not fuelled by his emotional instability, but rather caused by his lack of focus.
Forgotten History: Erthys’ early life was that of seclusion and loneliness. He was born (under the name Connors Guzman) into a hardy family, living under an average household with an average accumulated wealth, but his parents were strict and unforgiving during his upbringing, his father especially. Although initially, the physical hardships Connors underwent during his years was due to his father’s wish to teach him martial arts and school him in confronting the undesirable elements of the neighbourhood, it took its toll on Connors’ mental health.
The whole ordeal took a massive turn for the worse when an accident involving a circuit board killed his mother. The father driven into depression and alcoholism, Connors’ ‘conditioning’ and ‘training’ devolved into a regimen of verbal and physical abuse after hours of drinking, making his life, which was previously hard-bitten but survivable, a living nightmare, day in and day out.
As his mother was an employee at Viola, there was an investigation revolving around her death, and scientists took the opportunity to ‘liberate’ Connors, who they had vaguely deemed the cause. At the age of thirteen, a fading spark of rebellion still remaining, it was not hard for the Violan scientists to remove Connors, renamed ‘Erthys’, from the life-threatening presence of his father, who by now was degrading into a madman completely overwhelmed by grief and anger.
It was not difficult, either, after the same experimental processes that others had gone, to remove much of the original memories that Erthys had. His traumatic past, however, was altered somewhat less because it enabled them to appear to be his saviours, benevolent workers of science who had given him a new lease on life, and a new outlook on humanity. As far as Erthys is concerned, his removal from his parents is quite justified, although he does recognize the fact that his ‘brothers and sisters’ from other backgrounds may have been taken by less-than-moral means.
That said, I'm somewhat apprehensive about what my first posts are going to do to my head Name: Erthys Connor-Guzman
Code Name: Destrillian Prototype # 000-000-002 – Thunder Child
Gender: Male
Age: 22 (9 years captivity)
Personality: At the early stages of life, Erthys’ home was in a state of decay and conflict, attributing to a dislike for authority. At the beginning of his time in captivity, he displayed a certain sense of flippancy, even when he understood the extent to which these “experiments” would affect him.
Erthys, for the most part, is an optimist, a surprising contrast to other Destrillians around him. He feels that he was ‘rescued’ rather than ‘given’ from his parents, and as such feels a degree of gratefulness towards them. Because of this, he is largely subservient and willing to partake in tests, although occasionally a mischievous streak may show itself. As to other Destrillians, he looks upon them as ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ and always hopes to provide an emotional foothold upon which their lives could be made a little better. His efforts, while for the most part futile, are examples of his paternalistic nature.
However, long years of experimentation have led to a hardly noticeable but gradual and constant deterioration of Erthys’ mental health. While he continues to maintain his comparatively bright and cheerful personality, the maturity gained from his experiences has started to plant the seeds of doubt into his mind. While he still unquestionably follows the orders of the Viola scientists, he occasionally wonders about his future, and whether he will die as he lived: a scientific experiment for genetic superiority.
Physical Appearance: Erthys’ physical appearance has been changed both to suit the specific needs of the scientists and also as a byproduct of unrelated scientific procedures. Once dark-brown/black hair has been faded into white, although hardly noticeable as it has been shaved to millimeters from the head. White stubble covers his chin up to his ears, which also hides a long thin scar reaching from the left side of his neck all the way up to the left corner of his mouth. His eyes are a multitude of shifting colours, but are dominated by flecks of electric blue, white and yellow. A heavy jawline completes the image of a heavyset man.
Erthys’ years of physical conditioning has left him very muscular and built for the extremes for hand-to-hand combat along with other modes of fighting and endurance, although compared to the others, he is slightly shorter and stockier in height and build. His skin is a very light shade, although this has arguably been the case for the most part of his life.
Like many of the other Destrillians, when not interacting with other Destrillians, he does not wear clothes. Interestingly, he is a little self-aware over this issue, but is, of course, ever-accepting to obey the rules of Violan personnel. When interacting with the others during “recreation”, he wraps himself in voluminous robes of white, streaked with light blue and yellow.
Elemental Power: Lightning
Physical/Elemental Abilities: Erthys’ powers are fairly average in comparison to the other Destrillians. Despite having been in captivity for quite a while (more so than most others in the facility) Erthys’ powers are still a little unstable, and at times, unpredictable. His attempt to bring his abilities under complete control has been a slow process. Erthys’s hand-to-hand skills has been rooted in ‘hard’ martial arts styles, but he excels in finding creative solutions to problems. He especially enjoys using makeshift weapons and loves to use objects he can run a current through, like, for example, metal chairs and tables, and puddles of water.
Erthys has the ability to control electricity, in particular controlling lightning and electric currents. By sheer force of will, he can use himself as a conduit to complete a circuit without causing any harm to himself, generate electricity, and, drawing from that ability, he can create large electric arcs, run electricity through objects to vary degrees, and even manipulate matter by toying with the very electrons of atoms. While Erthys’ abilities do not depend upon an existing source of electricity to empower him, he can amplify his elemental strength by carrying and dispersing huge electrical charges within his body. The unpredictability of his powers is not fuelled by his emotional instability, but rather caused by his lack of focus.
Forgotten History: Erthys’ early life was that of seclusion and loneliness. He was born (under the name Connors Guzman) into a hardy family, living under an average household with an average accumulated wealth, but his parents were strict and unforgiving during his upbringing, his father especially. Although initially, the physical hardships Connors underwent during his years was due to his father’s wish to teach him martial arts and school him in confronting the undesirable elements of the neighbourhood, it took its toll on Connors’ mental health.
The whole ordeal took a massive turn for the worse when an accident involving a circuit board killed his mother. The father driven into depression and alcoholism, Connors’ ‘conditioning’ and ‘training’ devolved into a regimen of verbal and physical abuse after hours of drinking, making his life, which was previously hard-bitten but survivable, a living nightmare, day in and day out.

Satsu I love it. :3
Gaiz we got a nice unique blend of everything. I love how everyone's character is so different, despite half of them being written a head of time. We're really working together.
Okay, so here's how it goes. I'ma post my intro, and everyone will follow with no one really going further than what I did... introduction to their quarters, sleeping... experimentation maybe mid process... waking up and boom, received the message.
In the next set of posts as we're leaving the quarters, you will first run into the third of your numbers. Their room won't be RIGHT NEXT to yours, but they will be the closest to you in that section, and then we'll travel in threes. So it goes as Me, Satsu, Ninira. Ronin, Fiona, Bexy, and Tennyo, Shadow and Jens5th. They communicate mostly telepathically, but keep in mind of their headaches. They won't be booming with power right away, nor will they messed with migraines. The more power/actions you give to them, the higher their migraines will be.
Also following Tennyo and my own lead. In the orange bit the Dr. Syn Panyon bit, every Dessie will be assigned a Doctor that will have to be used as a NPC later on by yourself.
...if that makes NO sense, it's 7:18am and I had 4 hours of sleep so y'all can gtfo.
SO LETS START

K, so from what I gather, we can have our characters go a bit further as far as utilising power before they start to feel heavy headaches? Like one big attack and THEN their heads start to hurt? I can't recall how powerful my character was at first and haven't looked at my original posts, so just checking.

Yeah, that's ideally how they'll be split up. However I still want to encourage other joint attacks. Of course right away, everyone won't be paired up with their polar opposite (except for you and Bex
I want to present as many opportunities for joint attacks this time around, mixing everyone up. So there will be more than one time where we get split up, but with different people.
Oh, joint attacks are totally cool. I just wanted to clarify the opposing elements just in case anyone was having trouble determining who their elemental nemesis would be. Even completely opposite elements can do joint attacks, of course, even though I would gather that most pairs would be somewhat, if not totally, wary of combining forces/getting along.
Like with the lovely amazon, Fiona and adorable wimp, Thetis. :3
