At low levels, she can light a single candle with such a delicate flame and simply make it dance around as if the wind were blowing. At a higher level, Roanna could potentially put out flames or even condense and form a large amount of fire into what looks like a solid object like a flying phoenix or a very large hammer and guide it to her will. In high areas of stress, Roanna will simply just explode, sending out a rippling effect of fire with her being the center, obliterating anything within a mile radius (at most). The only drawback to this particular power is that she has to be able to [I]feel[/I] those particular atoms in order to combust them into fire, which means she must use her hands to feel the air around her. If her hands are injured or in a situation where she isn’t able to use them properly, this ability renders completely useless. With enough focus, her mind and touch receptors are able to work together so that she could potentially ‘feel’ the atoms of an area up to three blocks away, though the farther away the atoms, the lower the intensity of heat. Because of this ability, Roanna’s temperature naturally runs hot, her average temperature being about 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Warm weather, as you can imagine doesn’t bother Roanna in the slightest, if anything it just makes this power stronger. However, exposed to cold weather she will get very sick very fast and will be unable to produce any fire to keep herself warm after a while. [i][u]Heat/Energy Shield:[/u][/i] Under high amounts of stress, Roanna’s body seems to react instinctively and goes into survival mode, coating her body in an invisible layer of one of two substances. Though she hasn’t learned to control either of them yet, both render to be very effective shields. The first kind of shield is made out of pure, raw heat. Much like the heat that encircles the sun, if any small flying debris were to fly at Roanna, it would be dust before it even reached her. Larger objects of course are much slower to decay as they don’t reach the heat of the shield until about a foot away, but even with larger object impact this shield substantially reduces the blow. This does not, however, protect her from falling from high places as the most it could do is burn the grass below her or slightly melt the asphalt and so on. The second type of shield her body is able to produce is that of pure energy. Small objects will practically just bounce off of her while larger objects (like the heat shield) won’t ever reach their maximum impact. When Roanna advances her skills, she will be able to feel the energy around someone (given that they are within 20 feet of her) and be able to put an energy shield on them for a short period of time. This however leaves her completely vulnerable as she cannot make two shields at once. If one were to fall while using this energy shield, the impact will be softened by 50%, so as a deadly fall will only cause a few broken bones and a fall that would normally break bones would just leave sore muscles and bruises. This is exceptionally useful when Roanna runs over the rooftops and misjudges a jump. [i][u]Gliding:[/u][/i] Farther down the road when Roanna has a better grasp on her abilities, she will be able to immensely heat up the area immediately surrounding her so much that it cannot only let her hover in the air a few inches, being able to move around the room, but also while jumping from high places, she will be able to ‘glide’ through the air and cover large amounts of distance so long as she can keep her balance throughout and her concentration on heating the air around her. [i][u]Energy Production/Boosts:[/u][/i] With more advanced training, and a couple mishaps now and then, Roanna is subject to short-term 'spurts' of energy that can help aid her in combat. Whether it's a quick boost to get a head start in running or enough concentration that she is able to short circuit an entire square blocks power. It also wouldn't be uncommon under very focused times when all of her fire abilities listed above 'upgrade' into a sort of electrical field...or even lightning. [B]Skills and Talents:[/B] [i][u]Bilingual:[/u][/i] Having been born in raised in Germany for fourteen years, Roanna is fluent in German. Now, having lived in the United States for two years, her English is almost spot-on but she still carries a thick German accent. Roanna has also spent a few hours here and there throughout her life in teaching herself Latin, never comfortable enough to speak it but enough to use certain words in her head, like her Alias. [i][u]Silver Tongue:[/u][/i] Roanna has the gift (if you want to call it that) to talk her way out of almost any situation. She can be very persuasive. Her manipulation can go anywhere from convincing a friend that she is fine to getting a complete stranger to believe she is someone she isn’t. Call it acting, but she is definitely convincing. [i][u]Book Smarts:[/u][/i] Roanna has always tested high-above-average in the academic system as her mind seems to be able to retain the knowledge she reads in a separate part of her brain that most people never use. As only a Junior in High school, she is already prepping for taking college classes next year. [b]Personality:[/b] Roanna is an introvert, having never learned what it is to have someone close to her, in mind, spirit or in heart. Not even her own parents bothered to build a relationship with her, so the anti-social life is something Roanna adopted at a very early age and deems it 'normal.' Because of this, Roanna hasn't ever reached out to anyone if she ever needed help or even just to say hello which resulted in never making a friend and keeping everyone at a literal arms length. It is her lack of social skills that has also built trust issues, since she hasn't ever experienced what trust can hold; unable to even trust herself with most things. She has never felt a hug, let alone a loving embrace so along the lines of never having anyone close to her, Roanna has never known what it is to love or be loved. Roanna does things on her own, but when put into a situation where she must work with others, she stands quietly by and follows whoever it is that has made themselves leader, even if she doesn't believe what they are doing is right. She is a natural-born follower, a pressing thought always in the back of her mind that she will somehow be punished if she doesn't do what someone says, despite what her heart tells her.

As Roanna grew up, she began to realize more that it was because her father, Vincent, had very important work to do and was almost always gone and her mother, Rebbeca, had a small alcohol and pill popping problem. The family had moved a great number of times over the years, perhaps twice every year since Roanna was six years old so it was nearly impossible for her to make friends, which Roanna didn’t mind all that much. She spent most of her time reading and advancing her book smarts, which eventually brought about her junior year being placed into college level classes. Around the time that Roanna was fourteen years old, her life stabilized somewhat as the constant moving slowed once they moved to America and for the first time Roanna felt like she and her family had been settled. Only a year later, however, Roanna and Rebecca came across her father’s body in the middle of their living room floor, shot four times through the chest and twice in the head. Rebecca said nothing to the police as to why Vincent had been murdered within his own home, but Roanna was willing to bet that it had something to do with his secret work that no one seemed to know about that brought in all this secret amount of cash that Roanna and Rebecca never seemed to see a dime of. The house was repossessed and Rebecca and Roanna were forced to the slums of the city where they were to share a studio apartment with one another. The first year was very awkward for the both of them, since Roanna hardly spoke more than five words a week to her mother, but eventually they found a sort of meeting ground and learned to tolerate one another. Roanna spent very little time at the studio apartment, however. She was either at school, participating in some after-school activity, or out walking around the city for some exercise. It was during one of these midnight walks that Roanna stumbled upon her powers by accident. A group of muggers had her cornered in an old alley, and feeling threatened with a pistol at her back and knife at her throat, Roanna’s body seemed to emit some sort of unexplained power that knocked all four muggers onto their feet. Confused, scared and curious, Roanna took the advantage and ran from the alley, not stopping until she reached the edge of town. It was there that Roanna came across an old abandoned gymnasium in which she converted as a sort of ‘safe house’ for her to explore this new ability as well as hone her fighting skills with the old equipment used there. Now, one year later, Roanna has a very basic concept of her unique power and is known to be particularly deadly with a rebar when she patrols the slummed streets at night, helping those who are unable to help themselves against scum muggers just like she had come across that night one year ago. [hider=Secret Backstory|Contains In-Game Spoilers] On a cold, rainy night in Germany, a prostitute gave birth to her child in the dark recesses of an alleyway. Without anyone to help her with the birth, it was a sure thing that both the baby and mother would lose their lives that night, but a man who had been keeping a close eye on the prostitute for a few short months now offered his help and with a standard box-cutter, slit her stomach open, cut away the baby and left the mother to bleed out in the streets while he wrapped the child up and took her for his own. The child went without a name for the first three years of her life; kept in an underground warehouse basement where the man who had taken her, Vincent, kept a great number of young children of various ages, ranging from newborns to the oldest being six. Despite being a room full of children, the area was eerily quiet as not one of them made a peep. Caged, bound, and sedated, these children were merely collected for research; a much-needed upgrade from lab rats for Vincent's experiments. The child was experimented on often; injected with various chemical mixtures, force-fed pills of concentrated science and undergoing a series of torturous acts and abusive handling to get the child to react accordingly. Finally, it happened. At the age of three, the child was the first ever under Vincent's experiments to show progress. While being sexually molested, the light bulb above them shattered by no explainable reason and with the screams and crying out of the child, the energy exerted from the light bulb suddenly caught fire. Despite the fire getting out of control with wicked force unnatural to that of a usual fire that burnt down the entire underground portion of the warehouse, incinerating each and every child within to mere ash, and despite risking his own life to get himself and the child out to safety, Vincent could not have been happier. He had created the first ever mutant by controlled science. Excited to show off his work, Vincent took the three-year-old girl to the people he had been getting his funding from, knowing now that there was a break-through he could get more funding and continue his experiments. When Vincent showed off her capability, however, her powers went wild and killed two of the observers and severely burned three others during the presentation. Not pleased, the man in control of Vincent's funds, known only to Vincent as Big Daddy, ordered Vincent's experiments shut down and for the girl to be destroyed as she was too unpredictable. Outraged, Vincent promised to do so on his own time and left with the girl, but he did not destroy her. Instead, Vincent went through a long and complicated task of moving to the other side of Germany, adopting the girl and even gave her a name. Roanna. For three more years Vincent experimented with Roanna, trying to help her control her powers but it was only getting worse. Then, when Roanna was six years old, Vincent lost a leg from one of her surges and decided that there had to be a better way. So putting the rest of his funding into some of the worlds best surgeons and scientists, Vincent had Roanna operated on, fastening a device onto her heart that would filter the extra energy going through her before her abilities could reach outside of her body. And it worked. Roanna's powers stopped, but Vincent knew they lay dormant inside. He just needed more funding to continue his research. For two years Vincent made no progress with Roanna, feeling as though he was starting from square one again as he was reverting back to his old ways of trying to get her to show her powers again. Beatings, starvation, molestation... nothing was working anymore so Vincent gave it a rest for the next two years until she turned ten. By now, Roanna had quite the mind of her own and was proving to be quite the intellectual, so for the time being, Vincent allowed her to simply grow up while he continued his never-ending search for someone else to fund him. Four years later, Vincent received a letter from Big Daddy that entailed his knowledge that Vincent did not do as he had said and claimed Roanna as his property since he was the one who funded the experiments. Fearful of losing his one big break, Vincent packed up their bags and moved them to America where he could buy some more time. However, This was not the case as Big Daddy had eyes everywhere, it seemed. They approached Vincent in his own home and put four bullets into his chest and two in his head, but waited to take the girl. Even two years later Big Daddy's men are still watching, waiting for the perfect time to strike and take back what is rightfully theirs. [/hider] [B]Other:[/B] Roanna has had a recurring dream for as long as she can remember that sometimes subjects her body into bouts of night terrors which are almost impossible to wake her up from. She has never spoken a word about this dream to anyone, as she herself is unsure of what it means, but knows that there may be more behind it than just a dream.
