8888 Cluster From Left to Right
In General
- Adaptational Backstory Change: Due to the changes of the world by the Manhattaning, most of them reside in different cities and countries than in the show.
- The Empath: They can share their senses, emotions, thoughts, and memories with other sensates — particularly those that belong to their sensate cluster.
- Extreme Omnisexual: While they all had differing sexualities, their rebirth as sensates made them all pansexual, although they still have their preferences from before that time.
- Gender-Equal Ensemble: Four men (Will, Lito, Wolfgang, Capheus) and four women (Riley, Nomi, Sun and Kala).
- Multi National Team: Will and Nomi are American, Riley is from Bjorland, Kala is from India, Capheus is from Zambezi, Sun is from Rhelasia/Korea, Lito is from Corto Maltese and Wolfgang is from Vlatava.
- Numerological Motif: The number eight, being 8 members born on August 8th of 1988. And they all had meaningful events happen to them at age eight.
- Sensory Overload: When a clustermate is overwhelmed with intense pain, the excess pain may flood over to the rest of the cluster, resulting in excruciating phantom pain.
- Weaksauce Weakness: Like most sensates, they're vulnerable to electricity. Electric shock overstimulates the psycellium nervous system of most sensates and induces severe pain and seizures — often with violent coughing of blood and bloody noses.
Will Gorski
Before Will's ability to psychically read objects and persons with a touch fully manifested at his sensate rebirth, he would periodically get intense headaches and visions of things happening to other people. As a child, this would lead him to become involved in the disappearance of a young girl. He was convinced the girl was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered. He ended up investigating the case fully in an attempt to prove that his visions were real. He had a close call with the man who murdered the girl and ended up in therapy. Ultimately, this would lead him to become a cop as an adult.
- Adaptational Backstory Change: He was from Chicago on the show, but here he lives and works on Gotham City. He's also a military veteran who fought on Qurac and Khandaq.
- Badass Driver: While he no longer likes to drive, Will is an accomplished driver, trained in police pursuit tactics.
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: Will has a soft spot for victims of social injustice.
- Does Not Drive: Though trained in police pursuits and advanced driving techniques, Will's psychometry and/or migraines can impair Will at a moment's notice. As a result, Will is now averse to driving. When on-duty, Will leaves the driving to Diego.
- Fair Cop: GCPD Detective and pretty good looking.
- Generation Xerox: Became a police officer just like his father Michael Gorski.
- Lovable Jock: To paraphrase Will's partner, Detective Morales, Will "keeps himself looking tight." Will does by maintaining a good diet and exercising regularly.
- Meaningful Name: William means a 'desire to protect', which is pretty fitting for a cop.
- Missing Mom: His mother Clarity "Claire" Gorski died when he was only 8 years old. That and the disappearance of his friend Sara made him act out against his father.
- Nice Guy: Will is a very friendly, good-hearted and sincere person.
- No-Respect Guy: Most officers of the GCPD do not respect Will and regard him as weird at best. Many consider him a stain on the Gorski legacy within the department.
- Official Couple: He and Riley Blue are lovers.
- Related in the Adaptation: Through his late mother Claire Kincaid-Gorski, he's the nephew of Unity Kincaid, grandson of Fred Kincaid, cousin of Drury Walker, Rose Walker and Janosz Valentin, and cousin once removed of Kitten, Jack, Melanie and Ivy Walker.
- Second Love: For Riley, who lost her husband and daughter in a car crash.
- The Strategist: Will is brilliant tactician with sound strategic reasoning and the leadership skills to organize a unit effectively. He often preemptively makes plans and contingency plans for multiple scenarios so he is ready to act quickly.
- Supernatural Sensitivity: Will is able to see, hear and interact with beings on the astral plane — particularly sensates, but also ephemeral entities, and invisible spirits such as ghosts. He is also sensitive to intrinsic and psychic phenomena. Unlike the typical sensate, this ability was activated for Will prior to his rebirth as a sensate, likely as the result of the trauma caused by his mother's death.
- That One Case: The disappearance of his friend Sara Patrell and his inability to solve her case even as an adult continues to trouble him.
- Touch Telepathy: Will has the ability to scan objects and persons for residual psychic impressions which he can interpret as extrasensory experiences — often visions, voices, or emotions. The use of this ability usually requires Will to touch a person or object and make a conscious effort to activate a scan.
Riley "Blue" Gunnarsdóttir
Before her sensate awakening, Riley's dormant powers would lead her to believe she was hexed. Blaming herself for the death of her mother, as well as feeling guilty for surviving an accident that killed her husband and daughter, Riley fled to London. In London, Riley became part of the underground music scene and got heavily involved with drugs as a means to self-medicate her mind's strange sensations.
- Adaptational Nationality: Icelander in the show, she's from Bjorland here.

- Curtains Match the Window: Hazel eyes and brown hair.

And then, as an adult, her husband died in a car crash while driving her to the hospital to give birth to their daughter, and then her daughter died of exposure in the Icelandic winter. At some point after this happened, she tried and failed to kill herself, and eventually ran away to London and became a DJ.
- Does Not Drive: Riley cannot bring herself to operate vehicles since the death of her daughter. She is also usually high or stoned. She often gets nervous on long voyages.

- Outliving One's Offspring: Her daughter Lúna tragically died due to cold exposure mere hours after she was born.
- The Social Expert: Riley has a gift for networking — particularly among artists and criminals. Even outside of England and Bjórland, Riley has a knack for quickly developing contacts willing to give her information, offer support for the right price, or provided her with empathic manipulation which makes it difficult to discern if Riley had a talent for this which her psionics amplified or if her talent was just a fragment of her dormant psionic potential manifesting itself discreetly through Riley's subconscious.
- Touch Telepathy/Magic Music: A combination of sorts. Riley can also impart a psionic impulse into objects she personally handles or into music that she has engineered personally. Those who handle the objects or hear the music may be influenced by whatever emotions Riley has imparted. The effect is stronger when the recipient, the target object, and the emotion imparted are synchronized and cohesive.
- We Used to Be Friends: She used to be friends with Barbie Hatfield and Sidney Debris/Ken McCoy, until Sidney sold her out to the Norsefire government while he and Barbie left England.

- Fight Clubbing: Since her father no longer approved of her fighting in martial arts tournaments, she entered underground mixed martial arts tournaments under fake names to win money.

This is made all the more difficult by the machinations of rivaling crimelords.

After his sensate rebirth causes him to have a bad day on the set, Lito drinks too much and requires a lift home from his female co-star who then discovers Lito's live-in boyfriend. Rather than go public with this knowledge, the actress agrees to keep this secret in exchange for posing as Lito's girlfriend as a way to keep her controlling ex at bay.

He can channel this ability through eye contact, his voice, or physical touch. For greater effect, Lito can direct his mesmerism through multiple channels simultaneously. Once someone has fell to Lito's charms, they become more pliable to his direction. However, once the effect has been shaken off once, it becomes more difficult to restore the effect.
