[ classified ] : subject ( 6003 ), more commonly known as ( aurora ‘rory’ winslow). the ( female ) bears a striking resemblance to ( lily collins ). given the power of ( hydrokinesis) and have ( moderate ) control over it. the now ( twentysix) year old seems to be ( unsupportive ) of the experiment’s renewal. subject will be assessed again in seven days for any changes in how ( she ) has progressed. ( daisy / she/her / 20 / gmt ) 

up to the age of 8 aurora kathleen winslow lived the perfect life, the life any little girl could only dream of. she had a mom and a dad who both loved her more than anything and would do anything for her, they had money and they took their time to spend it with their daughter.

the fact that rory’s father was a senator and her mother a highly successful lawyer didn’t stop them from taking time out of work for their “princess”, as they’d liked calling her. she was the child they never thought they were going to be able to have, their miracle. while their lifes had always been semi public she still grew up very sheltered, her parents trying to give her the life both of them had dreamed of having. 

the only downside to all the love was the pressure. sure, they did mean very well and rory knew that but she was also very aware that greatness was expected of her. mediocracy was for the others, for people who didn’t have every possible option in life, who didn’t have all the doors held open for them.  

things changed when the discussion about the experiments taking place started. both of her parents agreed they weren’t going to give their daughter away to the government, even though her own father was instructed to advertise the measures. the longer things were going on the higher the pressure got on their family, the eyes of every parent who considered taking the step laying on her own parents. if they didn’t trust the government to take care of their beloved daughter, why should they? 

her father was too scared to actually risk rory being taken away but he couldn’t just keep her away from it all any longer anymore either. so he arranged something with one of the scientists who were going to conduct the tests. they were supposed to make sure that rory would fail, that she would be declared unfitting for the cause. there was no reason to leave things up to fate when you could just as well take things into your own hands. so one day she was brought to one of the tests and something went terribly wrong when instead of being declared a miss her test results actually showed her to be highly compatible. in lights of the test results her parents weren’t able to back out anymore, things had already gone public and it was too late now. Rory was taken to the facillities.

even before she actually got there rory knew she was going to hate it. she was going to hate any place that wasn’t her home, any place that was that far away from the loving embrace of her parents. she knew they hadn’t wanted to let her go, knew that even though he said otherwise publicly her father didn’t trust whatever was going on here. she wasn’t going to make this easy on the people who took her, she wouldn’t play nice with the other kids or do her best to develop her abilities to full extension. 

the first time her powers really showed she was suprised. for some reason she had expected something devastating, nothing as beautiful as this. forming water with the pure force of her mind, telling it exactly where to go, it was beautiful. she always held back during training though, not willing to support the organization by really learning how to master her skills. they were beautiful and they were all her’s, nothing for them to take away from her. 

the other kids hated rory since pretty early on but she didn’t mind, honestly she encouraged it. walking through the halls, head held high and and her eyebrows always raised in disdain, making it clear that she was better than them, that she was above them. not that she really believed that but she was not going to make herself feel at home here, with all these brainwashed children whose parents didn’t even love them enough to keep them save. not like her parents, her parents who actually did everything in their power to try and keep her from harm. her parents who were out there, probably trying to find a way to get her back. and while they were working on the outside she would be working from the institude.

most of the time you would have been able to catch rory in the library. books were her only friends for quite a long time and learning was never a mistake. knowledge was power, she was more than aware of that, especially at a place like this. whenever nobody was watching she’d train to use her powers, making tiny animals appear out of water, making them swirling around in the air. it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. 

when rory got 18 she went out of the institute for the first time after ten years. she couldn’t believe they would let her but she was free, if only for a short period of time. the temptation to just run for the hills and hope she’d be able to get away was quite present, however she knew that couldn’t be the way to got, it couldn’t be that easy. so that night she obediently returned to her bad in the institute and while she was falling asleep she tried to come up with a plan. she was going to need to find out more about the experiments and she’d somehow need to contact her parents. surely they’d be able to help. 

the reason that aurora never got to expert label when it comes to her powers is that she deliberately holds back during training and while she does train on her own it’s not as effective as what the institute would offer. however the brunette is too careful, she won’t end up being a weapon. 

character wise she’s a bit of a difficult person as in she puts up a facade, has been putting it up for nearly 20 years now so it’s one that has long since become part of her. to the outside she always seems calm and composed, poise seeping from every movement, chin held high and shoulders drawn back, always perfectly dressed. rory doesn’t do friends, if you talk to her she’d be cold and distanced. she doesn’t trust anybody in the institute and she’s not about to break those rules she made herself. while she therefore mostly just seems loike the ice queen in person and people often call her “princess” behind her back she does have a temper. it rarely shows but if it does it’s impressive. 

inside she’s honestly just lonely, i think. she has been holding on to the memory of her family for so long, with all of her strength, however the voices and faces of her parents had started fading long ago and everything that was left of them for her to hold on to was a vague concept. she however still strongly believes that this concept is worth everything, that it’s the only thing she wants and that she’d do anything to attain it. not letting anybody close is a difficult thing for a little girl to do but it got much easier when she got older and now she wouldn’t even know how to do it anymore.  

[ classified ] : subject ( 2460 ), more commonly known as ( christopher “chris” asher ). the ( male ) bears a striking resemblance to ( sam claflin ). given the power of ( energy manipulation ) and have ( expert ) control over it. the now ( twenty-seven ) year old seems to be ( supportive ) of the experiment’s renewal. subject will be assessed again in seven days for any changes in how ( he ) has progressed.

honestly experiment 3BK-IAS002 was the best thing that happened to chris. or at least that’s what he would say to anyone who would listen.

ever since he could remember chris spent his life bouncing from foster home to foster home. some were not as bad as they could have been. others were a nightmare, nothing a child should ever go through. he never got one good home. 

his entire life chris felt like he wasn’t wanted, that all he was good for was the money the families got from the government. and when the announcement for the experiment played on tv, well he soon found himself with a packed bag waiting to be taken into the facility.

instead of being scared, angry, or confused, as so many kids around him, chris was grateful. he finally found a place where he was wanted. 

it felt good to be needed, and cared for. the doctors and scientist were nice to him, he got warm meals, his own bed, he even teared up when they asked if he wanted his own room. he didn’t care what everyone said, because they had welcomed him, given him a purpose. he had found family.

from day one chris was a willing subject, he was brave, dedicated, and determined to master his abilities. he was supposed to help save the world after all. he quickly showed control of his gift. and thanks to his unwavering loyalty and complete devotion to the program, he was volunteered for further experimentation.

anything they needed him to do, chris would do it. that is why eighteen years later he is and expert at energy manipulation. thanks to never missing a lesson, he is able to use it both for defense and offense. 

chris is a strickler for the rules. his faith and loyalty to the program never allowed him to question why they were cut from the outside world. that and the fact that he had no one waiting outside. anyone who had cared for him was within the wall of the institute. 

he is totally in favor of the experiment being renewed, and has even suggested they should focus on recruiting at foster homes. from his experiences he knows there are many kids out there suffering, wondering if anyone cares, and he wants to show them that they are needed. 

stoic, organized, even a little gruff, chris often clashes with other experiments, mainly because they complain and criticize. how could they be so ungrateful?

if given enough time, people eventually find out how much of a heart chris has. he is willing to die, and kill, for those he loves. even if he doesn’t show that side of him. 

[ classified ] : subject ( 4796 ), more commonly known as ( henry montford ). the ( male ) bears a striking resemblance to ( dacre montgomery). given the power of ( intangibility ) and have ( expert ) control over it. the now ( twentyfour) year old seems to be ( unsupportive ) of the experiment’s renewal. subject will be assessed again in seven days for any changes in how ( he ) has progressed. 

if you look up the definition of the “bad boy” trope it would probably come up with a picture of henry and i’m not even ashamed #sorrynotsorry

he grew up as the son of hotel owners. his parents were nearly always working, not really having any time to spend with their child. henry hadn’t been a  planned pregnancy in the first place anyway. 

when he was five years old his parents started expecting henry to help a little around the hotel, just minor things but they wanted for him to appreciate the hard work they were doing. needless to say that little henry rather played on his nintendo than doing so though. 

even in pre-school his behavior was already rather difficult. while his smile could charme every single one of the teachers they also complained about his attitude regularly towards his parents, since he showed a certain delightment in pissing off other students. 

when they time for the testing came around in his city his parents thought that maybe, if he’d be taken, this would be a good opportunity to get him somewhere where the six year old could learn how to behave himself properly. 

so yeah, he got taken after the test were done and the experiments revealed him to have intangibility powers. he was a fast learner, especially after he realized how benificial this powers were going to be for a little boy who was never able to shut his mouth.

shortly after arriving at the institute he ran into one of the older kids bullying a boy about his age and while henry rarely ever does anything out of the goodness of his heart he stepped in and punched that kid in the face. 

after that incident he and the boy, matt, became thick as thieves. though they couldn’t be more different in so many different ways, matt felt like a brother to henry from the day they had met. 

up to date matt is the only person henry sincerely cares for in the institute. he has a couple of friends but none of them know him like matt does and that is very much intentional.

when it comes to his powers henry is actually at expert level. not being one to usually study or train anything he credits that mostly to the fact that it’s just a damn useful power to have for somebody who gets into trouble as frequently as he does. 

whenever he is out and about in the city he tries to catch as much of a normal life as he can, at least what he thinks is a normal life. partying and doing all kinds of only semi legal crap.  

henry was against the renewal of the experiment right away, knowing that he wouldn’t wish what happened to him to happen to anybody else. parents who didn’t quite manage to deal with their children to give them away that easily. he also just doesn’t appreciate being told what to do at all.

character wise henry has a lot of boyish superficial charme. he’s that person who makes you melt with a grin and he’s also quite funny if he wants to. he has a certain way to make the people around him feel special.

however otherwise he’s quite obnoxious: way too self assured, egocentric, heedless and he can’t take anything serious whatsoever. he also tends to be pretty hot headed, ending up in fights frequently.

[ classified ] : subject ( 5371 ), more commonly known as ( matthew “matty” shephard ). the ( male ) bears a striking resemblance to ( joe keery ). given the power of ( force-field generation ) and have ( poor ) control over it. the now ( twenty-four ) year old seems to be ( unsupportive ) of the experiment’s renewal. subject will be assessed again in seven days for any changes in how ( he ) has progressed.

matthew was born to high ranking military parents. they were never around and he was raised by the help (housekeeper, driver, gardener, etc) he barely saw his parents during his infancy.

matthew was a soft spoken kind child, a result of being raised by people who were actually nice people. he’s also fluent in spanish, to the point of considering his first language. 

when he was six and the government decided to broadcast the message, matty was happily playing, blissfully unaware that everything was about to change.

he didn’t understand what was happening, but his parents had decided that it was their duty to protect the country, and it was only going to be possible through experiment 3BK-IAS002. they didn’t even ask for the monetary compensation, they were soldiers, they were serving their country.

all matt remembers is the tears on the housekeeper face, her pleads of ‘he’s only a child. a baby’ and matt suddenly feeling scared. reaching for her, but being yanked away and taken to the institute. 

not only were his parents high ranking officials, but his grandfather had served as admiral for the navy, so everyone knew who the shephard kid was. for better or worse his name meant something, and the adults were well aware of that.

matt cried for months, wishing to go back home, to see his nannie again. but instead he got people poking and prodding at him. people getting angry at how he could develop any abilities. people calling him a failure. 

of course his parents could not deal with a failure for a child. even if the government wouldn’t have cut ties with the families, they were never going to come back for matt. 

as a quiet and soft spoken child he was an easy target, and some of the other kids really started pick on him. even to the point of physical agression. insert the person who would become his best friend coming to the rescue, and things started to look better.

years passed and while matt had managed to develop the ability to generate force fields, he didn’t exactly have control over it. he had to get used to the force fields coming up at random times, or when he felt he was in danger... or startled. 

he is kind and loving, and way too trusting, and the biggest nerd ever. he’s lucky he has henry by his side or he wouldn’t have made it this far.

despite all the things going on, the things he went through, matt is still optimistic, he holds no grudges, and has forgiven all the people who hurt him. but he is not going to let them start the experiments again, he might not be the kind of person to pick up a fight, but he knows a thing or two about shields, and he was brought in to keep people safe, and that’s what he intends to do, even if that means going against the government.
