TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?

Sirius supposed he was lucky that someone had accidentally set fire in his classroom (He blamed that pyro kid, as if he wasn't the first one on everyone's minds), too much panicking to contain the situation. He was sure that one of his classmates had bumped the flaming stacks of wood together, helping the fire along with it's progress. And he was sure that the fire had also magically become hotter, burning through the wood like nothing, which led to several burned desks before they the little wooden tables were finally put out of their misery, tasked to be charred pieces of furniture, unusable to anyone. Course, the teacher began telling off the fire guy, who blatantly denied any sort of involvement with the situation, but he couldn't hide the grin all the same.
With that fiasco narrowly sorted out, his class was dismissed earlier than usual, and everyone smelling mildly of charcoal, Sirius had hitched up his bag and left without a word. His stomach grumbled, which wasn't all that abnormal, the boy being able to scarf down food at an alarming rate. He headed straight for the kitchen, dropping his bag by the door as he began searching through the cabinets.
It wasn't long before he had a plate of microwaved lasagna in his hands, and a fork to go with it.
As he entered the kitchen again to look for a drink to go with his snack, he was surprised to see a familiar face. "Try the cabinet on the far left, it's actually a fridge too. Been a frequent visitor here long enough to know." He grinned, answering an unasked question, quickly taking a bite out of his lasagna as he watched Althea. Course he knew her, a year older than him and a good friend, though he had hoped for a bit more but he supposed it was pushing it. "If you wait a bit longer, the chefs'll be here soon and they'd be more than happy to whip you up something fresh. "
I love the idea of them bonding over video. Probs nerding out on who's the best character in so and so game, or playing each other off in fighting games like Tekken.
Sirius would groan at the idea of having to meet with other people, though he'd probs doing it knowing that he at least knew someone there. And Alex could be that guy. :'D They probably fight, physically, A LOT, but by the end of the day when they're nursing their bruises, they manage to be friends again and laugh it off.
That could def work. So she's his younger-older sister. He'd probably consider her maturity as something bad though and would try to get her to do things that he considers would be fun for kids her age. Like playing with barbie /shot If you could start that would be awesome :3 And if you prefer if they already kinda knew each other or they just meet in this thread, it's all good with me.

LILLIANE & SIRIUS
Okay so when I saw her I just thought 'little sister' for Sirius. I just think it would be kinda cute if they'd kinda hang out together, and Lilliane would be one of those girls that Sirius finds it okay to be around without freaking out so much and just relax around someone else's company. He'd probably baby her around a bit, though I'm sure Lilliane wouldn't like that very, try and insist that she develop good habits and what not. She could also be his confidant, and I think it would be funny if he came to her for relationship advice. Watcha think?

ALTHEA & SIRIUS
omg yay plots
So yes, I would definitely want them to have some sort of friendship going on. I imagine they were randomly assigned in the danger room, and apparently did well together while everything else was exploding around from the combination of their elements and they be all "... Well, that works." and probably partner up every now and then whenever a particular situation calls for it.
Judging by her written personality alone, yeah, I can see Sirius developing a wee crush on her, and would probably hint at it, if his nervous rambling hasn't given it away yet, that he does like her. But perhaps Althea let him down easy? Explaining about her preference and all. And then he goes all WELP, and tries to understand but he likes her regardless and he's still kinda just hoping for something that'll never happen. Still, a boy's gotta have a goal, right? xD
Either way, Althea would definitely be a kind of friend that Sirius needs, if anything to get him to actually hang out with people and not be a recluse.
Sirius doesn't make a lot of friends. Period. He tends to stick to smaller groups, never quite comfortable when there are too many people around. Nor is all that communicative, finding small talk rather difficult to come up with rather than when talking about something he likes. In a sense he is a bit anti-social, preferring to spend time by himself taking photographs or napping otherwise. But to his friends he's definitely the loyal kind, and he'll come through for them should they need him. I would definitely want him to have a bro who'll pester him to go and do things they like (videogames, etc.) or even try to get him to attend a few parties every now and then.
ENEMIES
Frankly, Sirius doesn't care enough to actively make enemies. But maybe there'd be people who are put off with his anti-socialness and would take to trying to get his attention by pissing him off. Or even people who'd tease him for the heck of it, as he does sort of explode when he gets angry or upset.
LOVERS
Poor kid, he's just too shy to admit his feelings to any girl or guy he does like. He's pansexual, so frankly gender doesn't matter to him, though most of his crushes tend to be on girls. He'd stutter or mumble all over the place if he's even given the chance to speak to his crush, further diminishing what little communication skills he does have. Though, he'd probably slowly get better at it. Please note, slowly.
ALL ELSE
Anything else, childhood friend, neighbor, angry janitor, I'm totally open for insane things.
DISLIKES - cold weather - cramped areas - earthquakes - horror movies - homework
He's usually quiet, hovering in the background, silent. He doesn't even like being brought into the spotlight. He finds such things bothersome. The way he sees it, the more people notice him, the more he has to deal with them, the more responsibility he has to take. And by all means, he does not like responsibility. Sure, he can be responsible but that doesn't mean he has to like it. He'd rather laze about somewhere than study or that kind of nonsense. He enjoys time spent whether with company or none. He's simply used to being by himself. That is to say he can get pretty lonely sometimes. Sometimes he simply yearns for company, and most of the time he shuns it. He isn't exactly cold-hearted though, on the contrary he can be kind when he wants to be. Its quite dependent his mood, which changes from time to time. He's quite suspicious, and most of the times guarded, of other people though, and finds it hard to actually trust someone. There are simply too many people there with bad intentions, or so he believes. Though he can be courteous and respectful to those he thinks deserves to be treated with such.
He doesn't mind a lot of things, but there are simply things that tick him off, and when he goes off, he goes off like a bomb. See, he doesn't really like to fight, or cause trouble for that matter. He doesn't like getting into trouble, simply too much of a bother to deal with. But at the same time Sirius is rather short-tempered, once that rage gets a hold of him, he'll say what he wants to say, and he'll do what he wants to do. Self-control is rather an issue with this teen. At the same time, he calms down easily. His anger does not accumulate, he simply explodes, there is no aftermath, all is well again. Or until the next explosion anyway. He's quite the laid-back fellow, he does not to let things get to him too easily, but the things that does, make him go crazy. Of course, he tries to at least reign in his anger when there are girls and the sort around, he reckons they don't need to see violence.
He's rather stubborn and courageous. a lethal combo. He won't back down once he's set to doing something nor is he the type to be afraid to get hurt. But he doesn't charge into danger every chance he gets. He's quite cautious when he's got his head screwed on straight, though dim-witted, easily fooled and just fun to tease, or at least, before he figures out you've tricked him and goes to return the favor.
biography
Whereas other mutants might have found their powers as a surprise, be it a good or bad one, Sirius's case was a bit different. Both of parents were mutants, and it truly was more of a question as to when it was his powers were going to reveal themselves. Ever since he could remember, both his mother and father had been teaching him how to be a mutant, rather a strange bunch of lessons but lessons nonetheless. He wasn't allowed to go to kindergarten or pre-school, due to the fear that perhaps his powers would turn out to be destructive and cause more harm than good, and being around other children was surely not a way they wanted their son to reveal himself. Though the power couldn't be predicted, his parents took it upon themselves to prepare him for what might be the case. Like there was the speedster phase, where his parents were going over scenarios in the case that his powers turned out to superspeed. They managed to make a small obstacle course in the backyard and had him run through it, hoping that it would improve his coordination. Of course, at the time Sirius was just six, a decent amount of control over his limbs, though everything was a floppy mess. Needless to say, after just a week of running through the small track and boy was covered with bruises from head to toe. Which was to say that childhood was definitely one filled with surprise.
He was seven when he managed to stun a dog. It had been a relatively normal day, and he and gone off with some family friends to the park while his parents were out for work. The dog wasn't even his, it was some stranger's dog who was just the friendly sort who liked to lick whoever was closest. Now see, Sirius had never really played with a dog before this, an excitable scottish terrier to be exact, and it had been a surprising when the dog was enthusiastically trying to lick his face, jumping all over him until he fell backwards onto the grass with the little dog still enthusiastically trying to get at him. It was out of fear that the boy then tried to push the canine away, only for the dog to fall limp on the grass later. It was after much confusion and panic before the dog finally did come too, and was taken home by a frantic owner.
Apparently Sirius had managed to stun the dog with a weak electrical charge, causing the dog temporary paralysis. His parents were happy enough that their son had finally shown, and promised to check on the dog later on. From then on, he was on constant caution about his powers, and eventually they grew with him as he got older. His parents enrolled him into Xavier's School for Gifted Youngters, where he spends most of his time.
POWERS
Electrokinesis. Or simply the power to control electricity. In essence, Sirius is like a large battery, able to store and discharge voltage at his will, acting much like an active current to whatever he chooses to let the electricity flow. Needless to say, he is also remarkably resistant to electricity itself. Low currents barely affect him, and while a shock of 0.1 ampere would be enough to kill someone, it would take 1 ampere for pain to start. He doesn't actually know up to how much ampere it would take him, though at 5 ampere the pain becomes unbearable. At most, he can charge to up to 100 volts without ill effects, but anything beyond that starts to become a problem, 500 volts being his limit before he has to discharge.
