Like the flock in cannon they named them selves
grian called himself pesky because that’s what the scientists called him do to him being the most difficult to control
Pearl was fade or shadow or something if anyone has a suggestion for it please share anyway it didn’t last long before she decided to change it to pearl but the reason for her original name was because when ever the scientists would talk about her power they would mention how she would blend into the background
Jimmy was canary because they didn’t have anything to really say about his personality and power because he was like 5 or something he didn’t have fleshed out a personality yet and even though he was the youngest which did cause him to be difficult he wasn’t as difficult as grian and he also didn’t have powers yet so the others called him by the bird the scientist said when they talked about his wings
martyn was similar there wasn’t anything that stood out other then what bird he was so his family called him wood because he has the wings of a wood pecker
after they escaped they chose new names that would allow them to blend in for and help keep the scientists from finding them
pearls the only one that kept her name it was passable as a name a normal girl would have at birth the reason she’s named pearl was because one of her only happy memories that didn’t involve her siblings in the lab was when she asked this janitor lady about some jewelry she was wearing and the lady told her about where she got it she probably got it as a gift and it wasn’t even a real pearl but that janitor gave her proof that there was a world outside the lab filled with gift giving people like the janitor
the only positive memory pearl has from when she was young that didn’t involve her family was of a janitor that gave her information about the outside world because of the janitor she knew that there was a world beyond the cruel lab one with good people
The janitor gave pearl hope of a better future unfortunately because of what the lady did the scientist had her killed
even if the memory is a bitter sweet one looking back she knew it was important that she held onto that information so to make sure she didn’t forget she named herself after the piece of jewelry the janitor had on which had a pearl on it
she is still to this day grateful for what the janitor did and because of her she decided if they ever got to a point where it was an option for them to get jobs she would want to have a job as a cleaning lady
In the maximum ride au The bird that grians wings are from is a parrot so his power is to mimic others words but only exact words and tones and speech habits
he could also mimic sounds which he uses more frequently because it is more useful and because the noise from a siren or bell doesn’t have emotions or different sounds that people can second guess
Martyns deal is that he’s a listener so it’s tempting to give him super hearing but in this au the listening aspect of his power are not him listening but instead others listening
he can enhance sounds that are not his own
so clapping or shouting won’t work he needs an object to make the sound for him and he has to be touching it
his power is that he can control the loudness of the sound that results from him taking an object and hitting it against another object
he has wood pecker wings get it wood
he has an ability that is useful but not in combat
In maximum ride au pearl has the ability to blend into an the environment not disappear but to be glanced over if the person in the room that shes hiding from isn’t looking for intruders or there if they are in a room with a lot of other people she also has to be standing perfectly still for like a minute before it kicks in and has to remain still to not have the power stop working
as a minor power her eyes are able to reflect more light than a normal person so they work like the moon when at night when the light from the sun reflects of the moon causing it to shine
her eyes don’t allow her to see in the dark but others can see the glow so they can tell where she is which is a blessing and a curse
