Fullview plz! - Also INSANELY long bio and backstory following!
_{Even though DA fucked up the colors D|}

I started this in November but then my big computer died on me. Well, it is working now again and I finished it ;;xD Took me me forever cuz the original is HUGE ;;xD (5k pixels or so and 600dpi)
_{I am aware that my english speaking fellows spell 'Confucius' differently but I am Austrian and that way of spelling it looked nicer xD}

Sam and his 'sister' Nana. I haven't gotten to updating Sam's bio yet, but I will post Nana's here along with their backstory, because the pic refers to it.

Insanely long backstory and bio here:

_{Nana's Bio/Backstory:

Name: Nancy Reed 
Nicknames: Nanae/Nana - she DESPISES to be called Nancy
Registration-number: X-S20  Prototype 'Project Nancy'
Age: 29 
Birthday: August 2nd (Leo)
Race: Genetically improved hybrid - She was the 'Prototype'
Hybrid Rank: X 
Gender: Female
  Sexual Orientation: Unknown 
Height: 1,72m
Hair Color: Whitish blonde 
Eye color: Red 
Markings: Dark ones on the back of her forearms like Sam. She hates them because they 'ruin' her 'perfect, white skin'
Occupation: Self-proclaimed queen of the Underworld, lol 
Relatives: Biological parents unknown - James Reed (Adoptive father), Annabelle Reed (Adoptive mother) (deceased), Simon Reed (Brother/Biological-clone) 
Personality: Selfish, egocentric, acts like a pampered princess, cold, rational, intelligent, vengeful, likes it if things go her way, very manipulative, has a talent for business
  Interests: Flowers, the color white, old fashioned weapons, tea, expensive things/food, business, money, manipulating people
Dislikes: Sam, People not taking her serious or paying attention to her, talking about past events, anyone mentioning her mother
Favorite food: Jasmine-rice related food - she loves the smell of it 
Weapon: Her powers. She is an expert at wielding different kinds of blades like her brother, but she tends to carry around a gun as well. 
Abilities: Typical Hybrid-powers --> controlling, absorbing, using and manipulating different kinds of energy. Her powers are way stronger than normal Hybrid's powers though. Like Sam she can create a small field that blocks her own and her opponents powers. Nana's powers are stronger than Sam's though - she is even able to drain other people's energy by touching them if she wants to.
  Color of her powers: White
Fighting Style: Nana is an expert with martial arts and blades due to being trained to be a weapon since she was a child. She still has her deadly powers too. Usually Nana is surrounded by bodyguards though and rarely has to use her powers or fight by herself unless she wants to or wants to give an example to other clans. 
Weaknesses: She gets ill often due to living in a colder area even though the cold does not do her well. She just really loves snow. She sometimes tends to underestimate people too and gets cocky.

Backstory - Childhood:

'Nancy's' and Sam's 'parents' were both scientists --> James and Annabelle Reed. (I will have a pic of them up when I stop being lazy)

James and Annabelle both worked at the same company owned by the government. The company had different fractions --> Medicine, Military, Economy, Genetics,... All of them were financed and controlled by the government.
James used to work for the genetics and was researching about Hybrids for a longer time already. He met Annabelle there and they got married after a few years. They worked on a project where they wanted to use some genetic samples to create the 'perfect hybrid'. It's genetics should have been the key to the cure to many illnesses and genetic defects, but as they were about to finish, the government stopped paying for the project and put James and his wife in to deep financial trouble. Due to that they were about to drop the project because they could not afford it any longer. James was trying to finish though.

After a while of thinking Annabelle brought up the idea of being the surrogate mother herself and carrying out the child they 'created'. She thought it would be a good idea, because it would save more money and her husband wasn't able to give her own children anyways - also this was for a good reason -- or at least, so she thought...

Nine months later she gave birth to the first child of their project: Nancy Reed.

Annabelle grew attached to Nancy from the beginning and raised her like her own daughter even though she was meant to be a test subject. She took care of the girl like a mother and even gave her their last name.

Nancy's genetics were very good, so it was a success. Her powers were stronger than the powers of normal hybrids as well. Nancy could not only control certain kinds of energy - she was even able to drain other's powers.
James was often taking her to the lab when she was still very little to research more on her and hopefully use her genetics to develop some new medicines or therapies.

However her unusual powers made her noticed by the the military again.
They offered James to get his old, well paid job back if he switches to their faction again and offers them Nancy for further researches on her powers.
Being hungry of power and success James agreed without telling his wife. He made her believe he still works for the medicine faction and wants to use Nancy as a cure for specific genetic defects.

From then Nancy was spending more time at the labs, was taught how to fight and her powers were tested constantly. The goal of their tests was to turn Nancy in to some sort of 'super-soldier' working for the government.
Even though James wasn't satisfied yet...

After a few months of working at the military faction James talked his wife in to carrying out another kid for him. He used Nancy's genetics for it, making the second kid literally a clone.
Annabelle agreed if James promises that Nancy can spend more time home again. So after another nine months she gave birth to the second kid - a boy, naming him Simon Reed. Nancy was around 6 years then.

Even though Simon was supposed to be a clone of Nancy, his genetics weren't as perfect as hers. His powers were still stronger than of normal hybrids though.
James kept his word and made Annabelle see Nancy more often again. Simon was brought to the labs and mostly raised by different scientists and staff members there. Annabelle let this happen because her husband still told her it was for a good reason, so she 'sacrificed' her new son to have her beloved daughter around her again.

The next years, Nancy still had to go to the labs often for so-called 'health tests' - at home Annabelle spoiled her though and slowly turned her in to a pampered princess. Nancy was very attached to her mother already at that time.
Simon was raised to fight and to do what the people at the lab told him. He never grew much attached to people, due to being taken care of by many random staff members/scientists. Here and there James took him home, so Annabelle could see him and spend a little time with him, but Sam was never much interested or saw Annabelle as a mother due to knowing her not much.
This upset her a lot and she began questioning her husband for the first time. It suddenly didn't take long for her to realized his true intentions and how both of her children really got treated.

Annabelle confronted James about it, but there wasn't much she could do anymore. The only thing she could do for her kids was to take care of them when she can. This helpless situation made her slowly develop a deep depression. She felt guilty every time she saw Nancy or for Simon being away all the time.
After a time she couldn't handle her depressions anymore and stopped sleeping and eating, so she was put on meds to keep her 'sane'. She could sleep again and acted more normal again, but inside she was pretty much dead.

She still took care of Nancy, spoiling her and doing everything she can to make her as happy as possible.
On holidays she made James take Sam home, so she can spend at least a little bit of time with the boy. Even though Sam wasn't much interested in bonding with her, they got along okay. Considering she only saw him a few days every few months, she was giving him all her attention when he was home. This situation made Nancy become very jealous of her 'brother', because she couldn't stand it when Annabelle paid more attention to him than to her. Nancy started believing Annabelle loves Sam more than her, so she started bullying and manipulating her younger brother. Over the years she developed some deep hatred towards him because she believed her mother loves him more and that Sam makes her mother sad, considering her depression got a bit worse every time Simon had to leave again. So Nancy started to blame Sam for her mother's depression.

During the years Annabelle's depression and 'sanity' got worse, which made her take even stronger meds. She changed a lot and became more dull and tired. James was still working for the government and got paid well due to his projects being very successful. He was still living with Annabelle even though they didn't talk much anymore. James didn't know what was going on inside his wife anymore and so he wasn't able to prevent the upcoming event she seemed to have planed...

She wanted to end her husband's crazy experiments and wipe out his whole project at once...

It was around mid-december, when Nancy was around 15 and Sam was 9, when Annabelle made James take Sam home for the upcoming christmas holidays.
She was decorating the house as usual and spent time with her children. Nancy was mostly interested in the TV and spending money though and Sam was being disinterested as usual or being bullied by his sister.
On one day Nancy broke some of his things again on purpose, so Annabelle took him to the kitchen and made him help her with the christmas bakery.
She was talking a bit to him and acting a bit weird. Sam didn't notice so much though while helping her with decorating cookies, considering he always thought she seems kinda sad in general.
After their talk, Annabelle made Sam wash his hands in the kitchen-sink. It was filled with water up to the rim and she had to lift him a bit so he could reach it well. Sam washed his hands and wondered about Annabelle holding him in a weird grasp - before he could react, Annabelle pushed his head in to the sink until he blacked out. She then left the boy on the kitchen floor, thinking he suffocated. Annabelle then grabbed her husbands gun and went to the living-room where Nancy was watching TV at this time. She didn't leave the girl some time to react as well and just fired three times before aiming it at her own head and pulling the trigger. Nancy got hit by 2 shots, but they both hit her shoulder. She blacked out though due to shock and blood-loss.

Luckily for Nancy and Sam, James was coming back home just at that time as well. He found Sam on the kitchen-floor and managed to reanimate him as he suddenly heard gunshots from the living-room. He could call an ambulance then and Nancy and Sam could both made it. There was nothing they could do for Annabelle though.

After Annabelle's suicide/frenzy James allowed the government to continue the project with Nancy and Sam, but retired from it.
Both, Sam and Nancy had to spend some time at the hospital after the events. Sam recovered very quickly - physically and emotionally, considering he was never very attached to Annabelle… - if anything he thought she deserves it well. Nancy however was different...
Her wounds took long to heal and she was starting to act very odd. Nancy was crying a lot because of the loss of her mother and because she couldn't understand her mother's actions. She couldn't understand why her mother would do this to her and herself. She didn't understand why she would do such a horrible thing if she really loved her.
Due to this Nancy became very cold and bitter over time.
Sam however was just shocked by the near-death-experience, but he didn't really grieve for Annabelle at all, because he blamed her for trying to kill him and Nancy and thought she's better off dead anyways.
Because of that Sam got in to many fights with his sister who was still defending Annabelle and blaming Sam for everything - one day they got in to a huge fight where Nancy injured her brother badly and they got separated from each other.
They didn't see each other for a while then - until the day they escaped with some others from the lab...

Later years are going to be posted somewhen else, due to this being already too long ;;xD}
