Nikolas Ellis

**Nikolas Ellis** is the leader of the Omega Division and a Gifted human who possesses two unique Gifts, telekinesis and telepathy.

He is the illegitimate son of Elysian Senator Marcus Ellis who struggled with his addiction to Evoscine, which he began using ever since his powers developed at a young age. After being involuntarily enlisted in the Omega Program, he began to sober up while training to use and control his powers, even forming bonds with his newfound teammates, eventually earning their respect to be elected as the leader of the Omega Division.

## Personality

In the beginning of the series, Nik had largely withdrawn himself from the world and treated others around him with cynicism, distrust and, occasionally, hostility. However, he was not a violent person, often taking his anger out on himself rather than others, leading to self-destructive tendencies. He also tended to avoid conflicts and confrontations, as Livia accused him of constantly "running away" from his problems with his substance abuse.

When he began sobering up, Nik learned to become more responsible and mature, and started showing more of his considerate and empathetic side towards his teammates. After he was elected as team leader, he became determined to show he was capable of leading the team, but was at the same time burdened by responsibility over the team's success and his teammates' well-being.

## Physical Appearance

Nik is described as a young man with dark brown hair and grey eyes. He is fairly tall, though stood only slightly shorter than Livia. Though initially described as lean and pale, he has since built some muscle tone after undergoing rigorous physical training as part of the program.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Telekinesis**: Nik possesses the Gift of telekinesis. He first manifested these abilities at the age of twelve, when a mental overload led him to unleash a powerful telekinetic blast that devastated an entire room; however, its development was severely stunted throughout his adolescence due to his regular use of Evoscine. After joining the program and subsequently sobering up, Nik's telekinetic powers began to rapidly develop, enabling him to mentally manipulate the movement of objects without physical contact; however, due to his lack of control and experience, he was significantly prone to random bursts of telekinetic force and might not be able to fully control the direction of the object he is manipulating.

* **Flight**: Nik can use his telekinesis to project himself or others through the air, granting flight.

**Telepathy**: Unlike most Gifted humans, Nik also possesses a second Gift, that of telepathy. In its base form, he is able to read both the conscious and subconscious thoughts of target individuals, and is most effective over shorter distances and especially through physical contact. His powers first manifested as an ability to subconsciously "hear" people's "inner voices" all at once, which often overwhelmed him to the point of mental exhaustion. His continued use of and subsequent addiction to Evoscine suppressed his telepathic powers and stunted its development; when he started sober up, his telepathic powers began developing at an accelerated rate. He later discovers he can also read other people's memories, and through practice, starts using telepathic communication with his teammates while on the field.

* **Mental Inducement**: Nik can induce a target's mind to enter a desired state of consciousness. He requires a tremendous amount of focus to do so, and thus can usually only target one individual at a time. He first started using this ability on Ana, inducing her into a deep sleep at her request.
* **Memory Reading**: Nik can read a target's memories, usually through physical contact, and is more effective if the target individual is unconscious or asleep.

### Abilities

* **Trained Combatant**: TBA
* **Trained Marksman**: TBA

### Weaknesses

* **Evoscine addiction**: In addition to the drug's inherent addictive properties, Nik unknowingly had prolonged use of Evoscine throughout most of his adolescence to prevent his telepathic powers from overwhelming him.
* **Physical & mental condition**: The effectiveness of Nik's powers is directly linked to his mental condition, especially his focus, and thus, he has difficulty using his powers when he loses concentration, especially when attempting to utilize both Gifts at the same time.
* **Inexperience**: As an Elysian-raised Gifted and as result of his Evoscine use, Nik started out as the most inexperienced member of the division.
