[b]Pirouette's Underground Duo[/b] Name: Isaac Grimes Alias(s): Mutant Age: 26 Years Affiliations: Factions: The Underground Description: [hider=Isaac][img]https://cdn.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/901/622/large/guillaume-robert-the-mutant-warrior.jpg?1435702982[/img][/hider] Powers: Irregular Mutation Isaac's body mutated unexpectedly at a young age. At 6'8", he has grown rather tall as if being stretched out. His tall height is complimented by a surprising amount of muscle to beef him up to a superhuman level. His strength allows him to swing his deadly mandibles with incredible speed but due to his body's growths, it can inhibit him from making certain moves. His elongated feet and powerful leg muscles allow him to run, jump, and dodge at superhuman levels. Isaac is still composed of flesh and does not have much of a resilience to damage and his somewhat awkward body shape makes failing a high coordination or balance check very likely. Skills: Well adapted to fighting in his form and has a strong persistence Equipment: Grenades (Incendiary, High Explosive, or Shrapnel) are just about the only thing he can use Ranking: C (Optional) Brief History: Isaac believes that becoming a Meta was more of a curse than anything. Horribly disfigured at a young age, he was ridiculed daily. Even his parents had always appeared shameful of their child but they were never cruel, thankfully. Yet despite his rough beginnings, Isaac had always tried his best to be bright and cheery. He excelled at school despite being the constant target for bullies and even went to on to finish high school. He ended his schooling after that and managed to get a job as a laborer for a contractor, more interested in his unnatural strength than his grotesque appearance. For several years, Isaac struggled to make a life for himself but he was succeeding in an honest way. At one point, he had even fallen for another disfigured Meta and the two had gotten married only after a few months. What sprung Isaac to join the Underground was the loss of his love due to the authorities mistaken her identity for another more dangerous Meta. Isaac's wife was killed and Isaac seriously wounded after Isaac refused to hand his wife over. Deeply troubled by his loss, he finally lost his faith in staying honest and joined the Underground out of personal revenge for his lost love. ---------------- Name: Ellen Bowers Alias(s): Gemstone Age: 22 Affiliations: Corporate Factions: The Underground Description: [hider=Ellen][img]http://orig03.deviantart.net/506a/f/2009/226/0/6/06fefcffa1e73fc92a0dd4e3fefc2b41.jpg[/img][/hider] Powers: Crystallization Ellen can spontaneously shapeshift into a translucent crystal form. While crystallized, she is resistant to physical damage, packs a harder punch, impervious to mental and spiritual manipulation, and can absorb energy to supercharge her form. [list][*]Energy Absorption While in her crystal form, and only in her crystal form, her touch can draw energy from various sources. Electricity provides the greatest amount of energy but absorbing energy from another being can yield energy. This gives Ellen a sort of Vampiric touch and allows her to drain energy from her opponents at relatively a slow rate. Another method of energy absorption can come from a sort of energy "rebate" when Ellen receives kinetic strikes (punches, bullets, etc.) to more Meta energies (beams, blasts, etc.). Even though Ellen may benefit from being on the receiving end of an attack, her crystal form cannot take a lot of abuse and may crack and break causing real injury to Ellen's actual form. [*]Supercharging A surplus of energy stored can be used in various offensive or defensive strategies. Ellen can use built up energy to rapidly grow pillars of her crystal material in an attempt to impale or block an attacker, project an energy beam, and as a final resort, explode out from her crystal form using up all energy she had in stored. Some synergistic strategies can be thought of by using a combination of her powers. Any crystal pillar will also be energy absorbent and by blasting the pillar with energy it can reach a break point and explode. [*]Weaknesses Outside of her crystal form, Ellen is vulnerable. It takes Ellen awhile to build up enough energy to use her extra abilities, before that she is just lightly armored. Her crystal form can be damaged and eventually destroyed. Her crystal form can be pushed to a volatile point by rapidly adding too much energy, causing Ellen to explode.[/list] Skills: Skilled Actress, Famous Equipment: Ellen's assets have been frozen at the moment but she does have a nice selection of clothes. Ranking: A (Optional) Brief History: Ellen Bowers got her start as a child actress in a popular kid's show, [i]None Like Us[/i], a show that harmlessly depicted a world with superpowers. Ellen's success in her childhood helped her achieve a fair bit of success later in her life, staring in some rather well rated movies, eventually winning an award for lead role at the age of twenty. Her Metahood didn't start manifesting itself until sometime after she won her award and that is when tabloids often label that time period to be the young actress's down spiral. Shortly after discovering her new found powers, she "accidentally" caused a building collapse after she blasted her beam straight through the building. Charged with the damages left Ellen starving for money but soon found that work wasn't coming back to this once respected actress. Being labeled as a Meta rose some closed door bigotry and she was refused certain parts. Infuriated, she killed anyone she found out to be responsible, including her replacements, and demanded to be revered and respected. Authorities attempted to apprehend her but she made her escape with EDGE as he had promised her with offers of that reverence, power, and respect that she thought she deserved.
