Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome! To this X Factor fanfic. This fic will contain slash, violence, RPS (that's Real Person Slash) and low amounts of Cheryl and Danni as I don't like them that much. But there will be high amounts of Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and JEDWARD! As they are absolutely amazing. (Yeah, I am a Jedward fan. Deal with it. ;) ) So enough from me here and let's meet my four own characters!
Peppermint Candy: Character and story Introductions – Don't skip this page, otherwise you won't understand what my character's look like or the storyline.
It's 2009 in a parallel universe, and a new race of humans has been created. They are known as Anima Positive, humans with distinct characteristics, appearances and abilities taken from animal DNA. These Anima Positives are also given super abilities, much like a comic book superhero. The purpose was to help fight battles that a country might get involved in, but most Anima Positives prefer to live a quiet life, blending in with society. One group however lead a very different life – running their own club 'Peppermint Candy' and doing various hired jobs for an underground organisation, run by Max. Nothing is known about this organisation anywhere, but if you can contact them, they may be able to help. For now, the Anima Positives have been hired for a special operation involving the X Factor…
Sapphire Dreamcatcher
Age: 19/20
Appearance: Standing at around 5ft7, not completely tanned, but not too pale, short spiky indigo hair and dog ears and tail. She wears a silk ice blue corset and short black denim shorts, with knee high black suede platform boots. She wears a necklace with a key charm on it. The top of the key is a heart instead of a circle.
Anima Positive: Combined with Dog DNA (specifically Huskies), Sapphire has her distinct ears and tail that give away her Anima Positive status. She is fast, agile, very strong and extremely loyal to her friends. She can become very aggressive in battle. Sapphire can transform into a small black and white husky with ice blue eyes if she needs to escape. All four members of the team have highly developed animal senses.
Powers: Sapphire has been given the power to control the element of water. She also has telepathic (min reading) and telekinesis (moving objects with mind power) abilities.
Best at: Assassination requests. A highly trained killer, Sapphire will always hit her target.
Sapphire can be quite loud and aggressive, but once you get to know her she has a sweet nature. People often compare her to Simon Cowell, saying the two put up a 'Mr Nasty' front but are actually very kind and gentle in real life.
Sam Daisu
Age: 24
Appearance: Around 6ft tall, pale with spiky black hair and wears black glasses. Usually wears a blue ¾ length sleeved shirt with black skinny jeans and black brogues.
Anima Positive: Combined with Snake DNA, Sam only gains his animal features in battle when his eyes turn into yellow slits and his tongue becomes forked. Same is agile and fast, but tends to fight sneakily instead of using head-on attacks like Sapphire. Sam can turn into a black python, but prefers to be human.
Powers: Sam has the ability to control the element of sand. He also has psychic abilities, although he creates force fields and can teleport himself anywhere he chooses. Unfortunately, only he can do this and cannot take anyone with him.
Best at: Gathering information.
Sam is quite cunning and is the 'leader' of the team. He tends o make intelligent decisions and usually knows what's best. He tries to look out for Sapphire, but she often feels he is too bossy and impatient with her. Sam has been compared to Danni Minogue for his good judgements and intelligent nature.
Kyle Mirta
Age: 24
Appearance: Around 5ft8/9, Kyle has spiky blonde hair and is fairly pale. He wears a white ¾ length sleeved shirt with a brown pinstripe waistcoat over the top. He also wears black skinny jeans and black converse.
Anima Positive: Kyle has Rat DNA in his body. This gives him rat ears and tail when in battle. He is very quick and able to spot ways of leaving battles if things get rough. Kyle can turn into a albino rat if required.
Powers: Kyle can control the element of ice and has super speed.
Best at: Healing people. Kyle is definitely the medicine man of the team.
Kyle is quite quiet and observing in situations. He looks after the team and fusses like a mother hen. Kyle tries to look out for others and always be happy and polite to everyone he meets – except when they start on his friends. Then his temper can change very quickly! Kyle has often been compared to Louis Walsh for his sweet nature and charming personality; plus the fact that he and Sapphire are best friends yet argue a lot!
Robert Links
Age: 24
Appearance: Very short brunette hair that he spikes only at the front (like those irritating football styles), quite pale and very tall at around 6ft1/2. He usually wears a white ¾ length sleeved shirt and black skinny jeans with black converse.
Anima Positive: Robert is combined with Tiger DNA, making him very powerful, quick tempered and protective of his friends and territory. Roberts's ears and tail are also only visible in battle and he can turn into a Bengal tiger.
Powers: Robert controls the element of the earth and plants and has super strength.
Best at: Fighting off a lot of enemies in one go.
Robert is very powerful and often goes out of his way to get what he wants. But this dominant display can be easily broken down when he's surrounded by friends and family. Robert and Sapphire liked each other for a while, but Robert has found a better match for himself in Sam, who is much calmer. Despite this, Sapphire and Robert are still good friends. Robert has been compared to Cheryl Cole for his tough outer nature but soft inner shell.
Jedward = John and Edward
John and Edward are both Anima Positives in this story, combined with Monkey DNA and given the powers to control fire and go invisible when they need to. Their ears and tail are also hidden until battle and they can turn into black and white capuchin monkeys (think of Jack the monkey in Pirates of the Caribbean). John is currently dating Sapphire, while Edward has been wrapped up with Kyle, making for interesting drama as Kyle and John are best friends and so are Edward and Sapphire. Jedward provide good cover and information for the team when they are on missions as the boys can use their monkey abilities and invisibility skills to overhear conversations and spy on enemies.
So, what are you thinking so far? On with the story!
