Description

"Perhaps they are more than what they seem. . ."

【 RESERVES 】The Reserves are Specials who work under the B.O.S.S. organization. Although most Reserves are test tube babies created by the government's Science Department, there are a few who have been brought in by authorities as babies to raise, typically due to the early awakening of their ability or due to other factors such as abandonment of the Special child.

Reserves have been trained since young to serve the force, to obey orders without questions and to kill on demand. Hesitation is a sign of weakness, and will not be tolerated. Unlike other Specials, their barcode tattoo is yellow to differentiate them from the others, thus also allowing them to stay off the normal Special tracker. This allows Reserves to stay safe from Special attacks by B.O.S.S. units.

► Even though they are lower ranked than the Agents, they only take orders from the Deputy Chief, Assistant Chief and Chief of B.O.S.S..

Due to an incident in the past, a chip is implanted in the head of every Reserve and it acts as a defense mechanism whereby the chip will detonate once it picks up signals of retaliation in the brain. However, only the Deputy Chief of B.O.S.S. is able to handle the jurisdiction of the Reserves, and the Reserves will only report to him.

As bad as it may sound, there are privileges to being a Reserve. As they are employees of B.O.S.S., the government provides them with bonuses such as decently paid salaries and allowing them to live comfortably, so long as they do what they're told.

► Agents are expected to show respect to them, whether they like working with the Reserves or not.

█ Noah
Ability: Light Manipulation [Class Three]
FLASH BANG
Noah is able to create a large flash bomb from his hands that can blind anyone around him within 10m away. A full exposure to his light may cause the victims to lose their sight, either temporarily or permanently.

LIGHT BEAM PROJECTILE
Noah can shoot light beams out from his hand, a ranged attack he uses commonly to attack.

LIGHT SABER
Noah created a 1.6m light saber from his right hand which he uses as melee weapon and can cut through almost everything.

Weakness:
He is at his weakest if he is in a place of complete abyss. He may create light from his hand but his light is weak and can only illuminate his surroundings rather than doing any actual damage.

Overusing his ability could cause him fatigue, and at worst he could lose control and hurt himself with his own light.

Noah is a diligent person, always taking his job serious and is extremely loyal to B.O.S.S. like how he was trained to be. Although he is fully aware of how his kind is being treated outside the bureau, he simply chooses not to care. The 20-year-old Noah thinks that the Specials outside of the bureau are nothing but ignorant pests, thinking that their useless protests for their rights are nothing but an inconvenience towards his job. He is partnered up with Shade.

█ Shade
Ability: Invisibility [Class Four]
COMPLETE/PARTIAL INVISIBILITY
Shade can turn either her entire self or some parts of her invisible. Most of the time, she keeps parts of herself invisible as it makes her feels safe and it requires less energy.

INVISIBILITY INFUSION
Shade can turn any handheld item invisible, and most of the time it's a weapon. However, there are times when she needs to turn a person invisible, and she can do so as long as they keep in physical contact with her.

HUSH INVISIBILITY
Shade can mask the sounds she makes for up to 5 minutes, with a 10 minutes cool down. It gives her a great advantage during stealth missions and hostage rescues.

INVISIBILITY COMBAT
Shade is exceptionally well-trained in martial arts and close combat, and if added with her invisibility it can give her a whole new level of advantage.

Weakness:
There are many ways to counter her invisibility, as it only cloaks her from the naked eye rather than hiding her actual physical form away. Environmental factors such as raining, snow on the floor and etc. could give her ability away.

Shade can keep up her invisibility for a long time, sometimes even staying invisible for one whole day if she wants to, but she'd rather not as it will only make her more tired the longer she keeps it up. She also secretly fears that she may not be able to turn visible again one day, and that scares her.

Shade is a quiet and shy 16-year-old girl, but she is caring even though she doesn't like to show it as she gets easily embarrassed. Her family had abandoned her when she was a toddler, but after being discovered by one of the Reserve mentors, she was brought to B.O.S.S. HQ where she was later trained to become a Reserve, thus growing up to be obedient and faithful towards her superiors and anyone she looks up to. Like Noah, she understands what is going on outside of the bureau, but she knows that it is not her concern and believes it is the duty of the adults to take care of it. She keeps herself partially invisible most of the time, especially when she meets a stranger for the first time. She only appears fully visible when meeting with her partner Noah, her combat instructor whom she sees as her father figure, and the Deputy Chief of B.O.S.S..
