Hm. Let's just pick a leaf from some of the canon arcs and say that maybe the government wants to keep tabs of every mutant "for security purposes"? So they want to "register" every mutant and maybe brand them (or otherwise mark them) with a mutant ID number? So Zach and Sela would be only two out of thousands of mutants who are refusing to submit to registration. That makes sense!! I think with Zach's personality, he'd deny to be branded to the end anyway (abused yay) How does the government know that they're mutants in the first place? Uh...maybe Helix gets raided and they pick up the list of students, graduates, and teachers? Somehow? Because the headmaster is dumb enough to keep all the records neatly on paper and in one place? wheeee time for disguises galore. *u*

Zachary (just 'Zach', thanks) Sun Dalun 孙达伦 (a.k.a. Nocturne) gender male | age 24 | sexual orientation Pansexual occupation professional douchebag
power(s) Shadow manipulation- he can jump into shadows and move as a shadow to avoid detection. Unfortunately, he can't manipulate the shadows out of where they're cast, and being exposed to light also exposes his human-shaped location. He's also able to project and manipulate illusions- the bigger and wider the sphere of influence, the more draining it is for him to continue utilizing.
appearance Scruffy long hair and tan skin, with a large scar extending from his left side of his forehead all the way to his chin. The scar cuts across his eye and his left eye is blind, making him look more menacing that he actually is. He has chocolate pupils, ringed with green, and he usually wears a motorcycle jacket over a white, collared shirt. He wears heavily-patched jeans and sneakers, with a baton attached on his belt.He usually wear fingerless sniper gloves, and always wearing reflective shades. He only removes his shades when he means business.
personality Zach is protective of others, yet also a cheeky prankster whose practical jokes often get himself and others into trouble. He's a slick and streetsmart individual and while he can have a mean streak at times, he mostly means well. He looks out especially for Séla because he has a crush on her, but always pretends that it's okay when Séla confronts him about it. Zach can also be incredibly dense or can't take hints of people being uncomfortable in his (admittedly rather intimidating) presence. Most of the time, he just lingers around in the shadows in the hope of not attracting too much attention unless he needs to. Well that took forever

Sela Qing / 秦莲 (a.k.a. Extractor) gender female | age twenty-one | sexual orientation heterosexual occupation college student | subject n/a
power(s) Telepathy: can project into and read the minds of others, and can construct psychic shields to prevent both her and others' minds from being read, influenced, and/or controlled. Cannot control minds. Difficulty and concentration needed increases with the target's mental defenses and telepathic strength: reading the mind of a normal human or a mutant without telepathic powers is easy, but reading the mind of an experienced telepath with a strong psychic shield would be extremely hard, if not outright impossible. Those with psychic powers may also be able to detect Sela's presence in their minds if she tries to read them.
Shadow camouflage: can become partially to fully invisible while in shadows or darkness.
appearance Since her life has started going to hell, Sela has chopped off her distinctive waist-length hair and switched her glasses in for contacts. Her now shoulder-length hair is kept under a dark blue knit cap, with the rest of her clothes being similarly plain and practical. Anything that discreetly helps hide her face - sunglasses, a hood, make-up - is especially appreciated.
personality Quiet and solitary, Sela is one of those people whose presence is easy to forget after a while - just the way she likes it. When she does make herself known, she usually comes across as rational, cynical, and often insensitive: if something needs to get done (and something always does), then she's largely indifferent as to how people feel.
Sela is remarkably formal and solemn for her age. Few people can remember ever seeing her smile; even fewer can remember seeing her laugh. It's much more common to see her being frustrated with both herself and others: impatience, stubbornness, independence, and a dash of perfectionism is never a good mix in someone. Then there's that need to be in control all the time to deal with! Of course, she does try to stay composed most of the time, hiding her thoughts and emotions behind that stiff mask of hers, but sometimes that anger can't help but leak out around the edges.
Sela's thoughts on Zach: well, that's complicated. On one hand, she appreciates his loyalty. On the other, she finds his advances annoying. A part of her that's bigger than she'd like to admit always seems to be pushing her to milk their friendship for all it's worth and then to ditch him so she can go at it alone, but she's not that amoral...is she?
other Prior to the passing of the Mutant Registration Act, Sela was studying social psychology and sociology in college.
