STEALTHY and SILENT, he's a thief, so there's no room for getting caught. Prefers to be around underwater creatures since they don't talk back.

CAUTIOUS and CALCULATING, he needs to survive every mission. Especially since they are underwater and off-grid, so no one is there to help him if he fails. He must be as accurate as possible in his planning and estimations of the unknown.

----

WORKING ON being able to care for others again since he has been alone for such a long time.

WORKING ON being honest and vulnerable to those that are close to him again and relying on them when in need.

WORKING ON more open-minded when it comes to different ways plans can be devised.

----

STARTS OFF, as an incredibly dishonest guy who snatches joy from mystifying and misleading his target, and dislikes everyone he meets.

ENDS UP, as a guy who can work hand in hand with his team when chaos ensues and is open to new relationships that may benefit him eventually.

AS A BOY, he was raised on the coast of Armitage, called 'THE BOARDS' because it was where people went to board ships and sail off for trading. 

It is surrounded by the ocean and parts of it have been ruined by radioactive waste. 

Everything was calm and serene when he and his family were there, but once he turned ten, the ARMITAGE MILITARY scoured the land for illegal drugs and weapons coming through the port and held his parents as suspects.

Eventually, his parents were thrown in jail after they confessed to being a part of the smuggling. 

He was taken into Inner Armitage where crime was rampant, and people always had an ugly attitude. He lived in a homeless shelter until he escaped and found his way back to 'THE BOARDS'.

However, the place has changed. The port is crawling with government ships and yachts, meaning he couldn't live there anymore. 

But with no money in his pocket and nothing to his name, he decided to steal valuables from every boat on that dock. They took his childhood, and it was his turn to take everything back.

To keep a low profile, he befriended a worker at an aquatic center, Hodge, who allowed him to live in one of the empty offices if he watched over his 14-year-old sister, Zura, after school and gave her swimming lessons.

Everything ran smoothly for a few months. Babysitter by day, thief by night. 

Until a mission he had to steal from the last boat at the dock nearly failed, and he left some of his equipment behind on the boat. 

Instead of sticking the tracking device he uses on the boat, it fell into his bag with all the illegal substances. 

A week later, he was tracked down using the device and was arrested, suffering the same fate as his parents. 

That is until the ARMITAGE GOVERNMENT sent out a petition saying they were in dire need of soldiers who possessed mental and physical prowess or else they would face execution or rot in jail. 

Gavyn took his chances: if he could make it through whatever they had in store for him, he could apologize and fix things with Hodge and Zura and see his parents again.

Code name: D4tura

Number: #4

Age: 21

Born: Sector 4, The Hive

Parents: Rowan Fletcher and Elizabeth Fletcher

Siblings: Saoirse Fletcher (younger sister)

A young woman with a reputation that contradicts the meaning behind her name— there’s nothing noble about her as she weasels her way through society to get what she wants.

Backstory:
The Hive is a bustling marketplace in the heart of Armitage, with merchants flooding the streets during the day, and thieves haunting it by night. 

Ailia was from a family that used to own quite successful businesses in the area, but after getting involved with the wrong people sometime during their long history, they fell from grace into poverty. She never minded their decrepit circumstances, though, since having her family happy and well with her was enough for Ailia. Even with watery soup and stale bread, she was content as long as she had her loved ones around her.

However, her world came crashing down around her when Saoirse, her younger sister, became fatally ill. With no hope to gain the astronomical amount of money needed for her treatment, Ailia blended in with the people of the night, taking on random jobs that were, for the most part, dirty work. She kept everything a secret from her family, smiling when they stared in bewilderment at the money waiting on the counter, all while hiding the blood that was quickly staining her hands. It was only when she lost her right eye on a rather difficult assassination mission did it get harder to cover up the graves she’s created.

Just a year after she first took to the night life, an organization sought her out, keen on using her skills for their own gain. Ailia didn’t even have any time to refuse, and certainly no reason with how high the pay was and with how they so generously granted her a prosthetic cyborg eye. With her newfound work now including poison-making (something she only recently dabbled in before joining the Thorns), her palms began to become even more stained with crimson, to the point that she could never hope to wash the stench of iron away from her skin. The more the money that piled on the kitchen counter, the more the bodies filled the graves, and the more poisons Ailia was forced to create.

Yet it seemed like fate wasn’t finished toying with her, and it became known when Ailia was on a particularly complicated assignment from the Thorns. She was working in a group of three other people, their mission to assassinate an influential figure in the neighborhood and retrieve highly prized documents. Everything was going swimmingly at first, Ailia quickly taking out the guards and her teammates disabling the security system, the figure done and dead with ease. 

It was when they tried to get the documents that things took a turn for the worse, and it was only when Ailia found herself stuck in a jail cell with a life-sentence, her teammates nowhere to be seen, did she realize that she was betrayed and the mission was just to distract her so the Thorn could take all her poison formulas. She knew they never trusted her with how efficient she was, but she didn’t think they’d stab her in the back this badly.

Hell-bent on revenge, Ailia was quickly formulating plans on how to escape the prison and tear down the organization when the government sent out their petition for capable soldiers, lest those who refused be resigned to their fate of rotting in jail or execution. With no greater opportunity, Ailia took her chances so that she could get back at those who wronged her and, above all else, get back to her family.

Name: Liliana René

Age: 19

Place of Birth: Sector 5, The Gears: home to Armitage’s social and political elite

Parents: Evelyn René and Fabien René

Siblings: N/A

Status: Incarcerated in a maximum security prison for one count of murder and the destruction of government property

Number: #5

Code Name: MI5CHIEF/MI55Y (MISCHIEF/MISSY)

Meaning: Mischief, playful troublemaking and misbehavior; Missy, nickname given to Liliana by frustrated adults and her best friend Dylan Greaves (also short for Mischief)

Characteristics: 

Flaws:

Age 0-11:
Liliana was raised as the only child of renowned government engineer Evelyn René, and the respected Armitage ambassador, Fabien René who both prioritized their work over spending time with their daughter. Therefore, she grew accustomed to spending her childhood years under the supervision of countless caretakers who were subjected to her childish antics and pranks done to gain her parent’s attention. After pulling a chaotic prank at the age of 11, Liliana's parents had no other choice but to take her along with them to work at the Dome, a government building filled with the nation’s greatest minds and leaders. While shadowing her father in the East Wing, she quickly picked up on the inner workings of the government, though eventually all children were banned from accompanying their parents as government issues grew more intense.

Age 12-16:

Liliana then began shadowing her mother as Evelyn worked on projects in her personal laboratory, a place that Liliana fell in love with. With her mother’s permission, Liliana was able to conduct miniscule projects of her own. With a knack for robotics, she was allowed to build weapons and devices as prototypes that were considered by the military. While enjoying the freedom that her mother granted her to explore the lab, Liliana’s life was turned upside down when she was told her parents died during their attempt to establish peaceful relations with the rival country when she was fourteen. Battling between grief and anger due to her parent’s absence, she became withdrawn from everyone else. Though she was sent to live with her parent’s close friend, Seraphine Malik, Liliana spent most of time in her mother’s old laboratory. However, one day at the Dome she came across and befriended Dylan Greaves, son of a high ranking government official. Over time the two become inseparable despite the disapproval of Dylan’s father, Darius Greaves. As epic jokesters, they dared one another to pull pranks, each one crazier than the last, leading them into constant reprimand. Ultimately, Liliana and Dylan’s pranks came to an end after a fatal accident in the lab. What started as a prank on Dylan’s father ended in Dylan’s death due to an explosion that also severely mutilated Liliana’s right forearm and damaged her vocal cords, leaving her unable to speak.

Age 16-19:

Eager to punish the girl that he never approved of, Dylan’s father ensured that Liliana was brought into a notorious maximum security prison for the “intentional” homicide of a government official’s family member and due to the “deliberate” destruction of Armitage government property (according to Darius Greaves). The only generosity he showed her is by granting her one of the military-grade prosthetic arm prototypes she made when she was younger. Despite the cruelty she experiences while incarcerated, she can’t help but play pranks on the guards and fellow inmates whenever she gets the chance.

NOTES
Due to her damaged vocal cords, Liliana first communicates using ASL (Armitage Sign Language) until she is allowed to build her own artificial voice box (electrolarynx) once she joins The Seven. This voice box not only allows her to modulate her voice to mimic others, but also allows her to emit sonic screams. She also gets upgrades for her bionic arm later on.
