1. Wilhelmina Python2. 18 yrs old; petite; fair complexion; long, straight, black hair; black eyes 3. Technopathy. She comes from a family of mutants. Nothing is known of her parents because neither are a part of her life, but her 5 older brothers all have abilities. When she was born the hospital experienced a momentary blackout that's source was never detected. It wasn't until puberty that her abilities fully manifested, though. Usually she must be in physical contact with a device to have complete control, but occasionally her emotions can cause glitches.

1. Francis Mack2. 18 yrs old; tall; muscular: large canine teeth; tan complexion; short, brown hair; brown eyes; large hands & feet3. Superhuman Senses. His mutation was more physical and, therefore, apparent from birth. After being abandoned by his parents, he was raised in an orphanage until 18. Normally he is an intelligent and gentle person, but in certain circumstances his animalistic side will come out. 4. When Francis was considering university, he wanted to get as far away from his Midwestern hometown as possible. Wilhelmina, on the other hand, wanted to stay close to the English countryside where her beloved brothers raised her. Both were accepted at a lesser known university in London, which is where they met.
Wilhelmina was a math major and Francis studied English. They just happened to sit next to each other in the first two chairs of the front rows for both the English and math classes. Their first English assignment was to answer questions about themselves and put it into a short paper.
"Ms Python, this does not satisfy the requirements for the assignment," sighed the professor.
"B-b-but I answered the questions, sir," she said teary eyed.
"Yes, but I wanted you to tell a story, not write a shopping list. Look at Mr Mack's, it's one of the most well written pieces I've ever received from a student. Perhaps he could tutor you in this class," said the professor and stomped away.
Francis smiled at Wilhelmina and said, "I can help you if you want."
He expected her to cringe at his appearance as most people, especially girls, did. He was pleasantly surprised when she smiled and said, "Thank you."
In math class quite the opposite occurred. The professor gave the class a test to learn everyone's skill level. Wilhelmina, who considered math the language she understood best, finished first with a perfect score. She watched as Francis, sitting next to her again, struggled to complete his test. Remember how nice he was in English class, she sweetly said, "Perhaps if you help me in English, I can help you in math."
The two became inseparable. Although neither of them mentioned it at first, both suspected something different about the other. The difference that kept others away brought the two of them closer. Finally, during one of their frequent trips to the library, the truth came out.
"Will, the other day I saw you make a call on a broken telephone. I thought you were just joking at first until I heard a voice on the other end," he said calmly, afraid to scare her.
She looked down and said, "All the other telephones were being used and I wanted to call home, so that's what I told the telephone to do."
"Told the telephone!" he nearly shouted.
"How could you hear a voice on the other end?" she exclaimed after realizing what he said.
Then at the same time both asked, "I know we're different, but are you different . . . like me?" Both nodded in response.
They spent the rest of the day talking about their abilities. Francis was excited to finally meet someone he could relate to so completely. Wilhelmina was happy to finally have someone, outside of her family, who could understand her.
By the end of their first semester, it was obvious that the two superhumans belonged together.
