(Because obviously I had to make a joke about Agents of SHIELD, seeing as both are secretive organizations with ridiculous acronyms...)
The Physicalquantity Alternation Natural Deconstruction Organized Research Agency (PANDORA) is a UN-operated organization dedicated to research of the Gates and the various supernatural phenomena surrounding them. Their headquarters is in Hell's Gate, Tokyo, where the vast majority of their research is carried out. As any information pertaining to Gate-related matters is classified, PANDORA operates under a strict code of secrecy. However, humans being human, it is only natural that many organizations--from government agencies to criminal syndicates--have managed to infiltrate PANDORA with agents of their own.
Governments and private individuals alike will pay a premium for information relating to PANDORA's research, and the circulation of such data is a major part of the underground. In order to minimize the amount of information that is leaked, PANDORA employs its own private security force. These individuals--ranging from ordinary humans to Contractors and Dolls--are dispatched on dozens of secret missions worldwide, in order to keep the secrets of the world.
It is on one such mission that our story begins.

Character Ideas: Name: Maeve Lark Codename: Lyrica Age: 19 Type: Contractor
Appearance: Maeve, with Melody on the right top, and Harmony on the right bottom  Personal History: Maeve was living in an orphanage in France when she got her powers. The orphanage masters didn't know how to handle her, so they started looking for those who could, which ended up being PANDORA. She has been with PANDORA since she was 15. Messier Code: VY-714 Ability: Whatever Maeve tells you to do, you have to do it, but you will have memory of her, and of what you did. Price: Maeve has two porcelain, Victorian dolls named Melody and Harmony. Whenever she uses her powers, she must take out one (normally Melody, but Harmony works just as well), rock it, and sing her childhood lullaby: "I have a dear dolly and her eyes are bright blue She can open and shut them And she smiles are me too In the morning we get dressed And we go out to play But I like best to rock her And the end of the day" Name: Clover Lyton Codename: Shadowstalker Age: 62 Type: Contractor Appearance:  Personal History: Clover Lyton was in and out of prison for a very long time, mostly for stalking her ex-husband (they broke up 15 years ago), vandalism, causing public disturbances, and hitting people with her walking stick. In fact, she was under house arrest (pending a restraining order) for graffiti her ex-husbands house when she got her powers. She then decided to run away and never look back, although she found that since she was now wanted, it was harder to find a job. Thus she was hired by PANDORA. Messier Code: DI-357 Ability: Completely disappear (invisible, no sent, no heat, nothing) Price: She must eventually scream. |

Name: Jose Correa
Codename: Hound
Age: 23
Nationality: American
Type: Human
Appearance: Almost six and a half feet tall, with considerable muscle mass. His hair often sticks up in odd ways, despite his best attempts to neaten it. His preferred attire is plain black cargo pants, black shoes, a grey turtleneck, and a jacket that he uses to conceal his sidearm.
Personal History: A former policeman, Correa ran into a crime involving a Contractor very early in his career. Faced with the decision between having his memory of the situation erased by ME, he chose to join PANDORA instead, signing on as one of their security personnel. His most common task is to accompany Contractors while they're out on assignment--for although PANDORA leans heavily on its Contractors to obtain results in the field, they also see their agents as less than trustworthy.
Name: Sarah Cornwall
Codename: March
Age: 24
Nationality: British
Type: Contractor
Appearance: Around 5'9", with a lean, athletic build. She has shoulder-length blonde hair, usually kept in a ponytail, as well as blue eyes and glasses. Her preferred attire varies depending on the mission, and is generally whatever helps her blend in.
Personal History: A British Contractor with telekinetic powers. Cornwall chose the codename "March" partially out of spite (as MI6 Contractors are code-named after dates) and partially as a reference to Little Women. Like most Contractors, she seems mostly emotionless, though those familiar with her know that she tends to be more impatient and straightforward than other Contractors. She sometimes uses her powers for the express purpose of annoying her field partners.
Messier Code: CX-857
Ability: Telekinesis
Price: She must peel vegetables. She prefers carrots, as they are generally the easiest.

Name: Grey
Codename: Echo
Age: 17
Nationality: American
Type: Contractor
Appearance: Variable. Currently, Grey appears as a high school student. They are about 5’3’’. Their brown and blue hair hangs just above their shoulders. Long, side swept bangs tend to cover one half of their face. They are wearing a grey, knee-length cardigan over a black shirt and black skinny jeans.
Personal History: Grey’s past is a mystery, because they don’t remember who they were. The only clue they have is an old school photograph, which they always keep in their pocket. They’ve only been with PANDORA for a year and have spent most of that time quarantined in a research facility. Before that, they belonged to Meyer & Hilton. It’s hard to say what Grey’s personality is like, because they are always imitating someone else.
Messier Code: BF-723
Ability: Identity Thief. Grey can exactly imitate another person’s appearance by looking at a picture or by meeting them. If Grey has met the person then they can also match the other person’s aura/personality.
Price: They must cleanse and then taint a tarot deck with these exact steps:
1. Separate the Major and Minor Arcana
2. Divide the Minor Arcana into the four suits
3. Stack the cards into their five piles from highest to lowest
4. Shuffle
5. Draw
Name: Gavriel Sachs
Codename: Amadeus
Age: 35
Nationality: Russian and Austrian
Type: Contractor
Appearance: About 5’11’’ with a lean build and very little muscle mass. His skin has the pallor of someone spends very little time in any sunlight. Product slicks his black hair back from his forehead. His nose ends in a sharp point and his eyes are pale grey. Generally, he wears tightly fitted jeans, a v-neck shirt, a scarf, and pointed leather shoes.
Personal History: Before PANDORA hired Sachs, he was the concertmaster for the Philharmonie de Paris. Although he was born in Austria, Sachs spent most of his youth studying music in France. People who worked with him either deeply respected his intense dedication or absolutely loathed his unforgiving personality. As a human, Sachs was a perfectionist. He didn’t tolerate mistakes from himself or others. Even now as a contractor, he still expects perfection from his colleagues, but he no longer becomes irrationally angry when they fall short.
Messier Code: QC-241
Ability: Sound Manipulation. When looking directly at another person, Sachs can alter sound waves so that all they can hear is a maddening high-pitched buzzing.
Price: He must play a piece on the violin and never the same twice in a row.
