## History

### Origins

Aurora Riley's journey began in 1997 when she was born to **Christian** and **Evelyn Riley** in the bustling city of Central City. Growing up, she experienced the constant upheaval of moving due to her father's job as a teacher. Just as Aurora started to build connections and friendships, they would be abruptly shattered as the family relocated to different places.

Eventually, they settled in Metropolis, where her younger brother Chase was born when she was two. However, their time in Metropolis was short-lived, and they soon returned to Central City, settling in a house on the outskirts of town near a power plant. Little did they know that this seemingly ordinary location would become the catalyst for their extraordinary journey.

At the age of fifteen, tragedy struck as a catastrophic event unfolded near the power plant. A disastrous explosion caused the release of bio-fission, enveloping Aurora, Chase, and Madison in a cloud of gas. Moments later, they found themselves thrown backward, their lives forever changed. Awakening from the ordeal, they discovered that they had gained incredible abilities.

Aurora discovered she had the power to manipulate objects, while Chase found mastery over water and ice. Maddie, their younger sister, exhibited the ability to control fire. The siblings' newfound powers left them in awe, but also filled their hearts with a sense of responsibility and wonder.

Awakening from the ordeal, they discovered that they had gained incredible abilities.

Aurora discovered she had the power to manipulate objects, while Chase found mastery over water and ice. Maddie, their younger sister, exhibited the ability to control fire. The siblings' newfound powers left them in awe, but also filled their hearts with a sense of responsibility and wonder.

Witnessing this incredible display, their parents embraced their children's uniqueness and made a conscious decision to keep their powers a secret. Christian and Evelyn Riley continued to raise them as if nothing had happened, fostering an environment of love, support, and guidance. They understood the importance of honing their abilities and trained the siblings to control and utilize their powers responsibly.

As Aurora and her siblings grew, they navigated the complexities of teenage life while harnessing their extraordinary gifts in secret. Their powers became a part of their daily lives, hidden from the prying eyes of the world. Together, they supported one another, forming an unbreakable bond as they embarked on a journey of self-discovery and understanding.

In the midst of their training and personal growth, Aurora, Chase, and Maddie found solace and strength in each other. Their shared experiences created a sense of unity and purpose, reinforcing the notion that they were meant to navigate this extraordinary path together.

Little did they know that their abilities were not a mere coincidence. Unbeknownst to the siblings, the explosion at the power plant had been orchestrated by a time-displaced Vandal Savage, who sought to create individuals with extraordinary powers for his own nefarious purposes. His hand in their transformation remained shrouded in mystery, unbeknownst to Aurora and her siblings.

### Discovered by Argus!

After five more years had passed, a fateful encounter changed the course of the Riley siblings' lives. An agency known as ARGUS, led by a determined woman named Sasha Bordeaux, approached their parents with an ultimatum: hand over their children or face dire consequences. Faced with an impossible choice, their parents valiantly refused, but their act of defiance came at a great cost.

Sasha Bordeaux wasted no time in carrying out her threat. She had the parents arrested, tearing them away from their beloved children. In that moment of chaos and desperation, Chase, Aurora, and Maddie found themselves running for their lives. They sprinted tirelessly, their hearts pounding with fear and uncertainty, until they reached the outskirts of the city.

Exhausted and disoriented, the siblings believed they had managed to escape the clutches of ARGUS. Little did they know, a team from the organization had been lying in wait, silently observing their frantic escape. But to their surprise, the team did not rush forward with guns blazing. Instead, they cautiously approached the weary siblings, their weapons lowered, signaling their intent to negotiate rather than engage in combat.

It was a moment of unexpected relief and confusion. The team made it clear that they wanted to talk, to understand the Riley siblings' unique abilities and their potential. However, their offer came with a condition: the release of their parents. Despite the siblings' desperation to keep their family together, they had no choice but to comply.

With heavy hearts and a lingering sense of betrayal, Chase, Aurora, and Maddie made the difficult decision to enter the ranks of ARGUS. They were thrust into a world of secrecy, where their powers were both valued and controlled. Under the watchful eye of their new ARGUS mentors, they underwent rigorous training, honing their abilities to their fullest potential.

Yet, as time passed, Aurora and Chase grew increasingly uneasy about the true nature of ARGUS. They sensed a dark undercurrent running beneath the organization's surface, and it was a feeling they couldn't shake. Their suspicions were confirmed when they stumbled upon classified files revealing the true extent of ARGUS' unethical experiments and manipulative practices.

Driven by their desire for freedom and justice, Aurora and Chase concocted a daring plan to escape. They meticulously devised a diversion, taking advantage of a carefully orchestrated training exercise. In the chaos that ensued, the siblings seized their opportunity and made a hasty getaway, leaving Maddie behind unintentionally in the process.

Heartbroken and riddled with guilt, Aurora and Chase fled from ARGUS, vowing to find a way to rescue their sister from the clutches of the organization they once believed in. They became fugitives, constantly on the move, using their abilities to navigate the shadows and evade capture.

## Personality

With the lack of friends and social life Aurora has grown to be slightly introverted and has anxiety as well as anti-social tendencies. Some of these symptoms are lack of concentration, racing thoughts, excessive worry, she has a stutter, and she's paranoid.

However with those negative traits and ticks she does have positive one's which are imaginative and optimistic. Those traits are shown when she demonstrates some degree of self-satisfaction. She either feels that she has made a difference or that she can make a difference to the way things happen. She want to feel that She is contributing to the success of the task. She are enthusiastic, attracted by the challenge and feel that she is working on something important. Aurora also shows this when she sees things from the brighter and positive side, thus, she feels happy. She also sees even the smallest things from a positive point of view. For instance, saying a simple “good morning” can be a great way to cheer up your colleagues. The thing is that most people focus on the dread of working rather than thinking about the small little ‘fun’ she can enjoy each and every day.

## Powers And Abilities

### Powers:

**Ergokinesis-** The user can create, shape and manipulate energy, the capacity or ability to cause change or do work: one of the most basic quantitative properties of a system, such as an object or a field of energy. Energy can be transformed (converted) among a number of forms that may each manifest and be measurable in differing ways. The law of conservation of energy states that the (total) energy of a system can increase or decrease only by transferring it in or out of the system, thus the total energy of a system can be calculated by simple addition when it is composed of multiple non-interacting parts or has multiple distinct forms of energy.
**Energy Generation-** The user can generate different kinds of energies of their choosing, making it an offensive weapon in time of need. Advanced users may be able to generate different kinds of energy at the same time or evolve it to ultimate levels. Energy Telekinesis- The user can manipulate matter using energy.
**Energy Portal Creation-** The user can create portals using energy.

**Energy Attacks-** The user can release/use energy to attacks of various shapes and/or intensities, either projected, used as a part of melee attacks, etc., from huge rays of pure energy that can knock over or even obliterate dozens of targets, or slightly singe them.

**Telekinesis-** As the ability is connected to the mind of the user, it can either be activated and controlled through conscious effort and concentration, through willpower and emotions of a particular level of intensity, or through achieving a state of discipline and serenity. In some cases, the ability can respond to the user’s thoughts, ideas and whims, making it far easier to activate but potentially more difficult to control. Moreover, these aspects of the user's mind and mental capacity at large can affect the accuracy, precision, range, arc, radius, and strength of their ability, as well as the subsequent limitations of its intuitiveness, usability, functionality, and reliability in various situations.

## Weaknesses:

**Energy Manipulation-** Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits. May be unable to create energy, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources. May be limited to the amount of energy a person can hold in themselves. Extensive use of powers over a long period of time could deplete one's energy reserves. May be limited on amount energy or the type of energy.

**Energy Generation-** May be limited to a certain form of energy. Users of Energy Immunity are not affected.

**Energy Portal Creation-** Doesn't work if they're hands are put in cuff dampeners.

**Energy Attacks-** Users may require an outside source of energy to create a blast. Users may not be immune to the effects of their own blast. Firing may be involuntary reaction, or released in constant stream. Users will be exhausted when too much energy is used. Users may be overcharged/wounded if too much energy is used at once. Users need control to avoid unnecessary destruction.

**Telekinesis-** May not be able to create/generate matter/objects. May only be capable of moving objects they could physically move. Might be unable or only able to move certain objects. May be able to affect only targets that they can physically perceive or that are within a certain range and distance from them. May only be able to manipulate targets of a certain number, size, or weight at once. User may not be able to affect objects above a certain momentum or that are already moving. An opponent with greater physical strength than the user's mental strength may break free, or even be immune to the ability altogether. Might be weakened, nullified or interrupted by stress, fear, distractions, disbelief, lack of confidence, and willpower, etc.
