Mika has a few extra pounds on her, she's a little chubby. Her limbs have fat packed on them, and she has a bit of a gut. Not morbidly obese, one could put her in the chubby category. Her body is thicker than most girls. Of course, this extra body weight gives ways to some curves. Her thighs and calves are thick, and her behind is quite big and round. Surprisingly, Mika's arms have a bit of body fat on them, but either way aren't too notable. They're more thin than anything, though her upper arms are a bit fat. Plenty of this fat appears in her breast size, as they're quite large. All in all, Mika has an apple-frame. Though, if you're into that, Mika's body could be quite attractive. Continuing, Mika stands a few inches above the female average at 5'6ft, and weighs 184lb. A [i]lot[/i] heavier than the average female standard. Mika's next defining feature is that, if the name didn't tip you off, she obviously has Asian roots in her. Her skin color is a whitish color with a heavy golden undertone. Her facial features give away clearly that she is Asian. To be exact, Mika is part Chinese, and part Japanese. Not that one would be able to easily tell her heritage without having spent a lot of time around Asian people. At first impression, all people note is that she's Asian and that's it. Mika's skin, surprisingly, doesn't have too many stretch marks, and is rather clear at a first glance. There's a few stretch marks on her upper legs and arms, but, of course, nothing that can't be covered with some clothes. As for scars, fortunately, Mika has been able to keep herself free of them. Not completely free, like everyone, she has a few small scars here and there. Most interesting is that Mika has a mass of small, thin, slashing scars on her forearms and upper body. Like someone cut her with a small knife. However, these scars are fading. Mika does have some blemishes and moles here and there. Mika's hair is a very dark color, and is quite straight. Most of all, her hair is long, styled into a ponytail that reaches down past her back. With bangs brushed over her forehead, right above her eyebrow. Due to how well maintained it is, it's pretty clean. She keeps a flower braided into her hair (Usually a pink flower). Mika's facial features are round, aren't very pronounced, and are distinctly Asian. Her entire head has an even oval shape. Her cheeks are very round and somewhat big, but they blend into the rest of her facial features perfectly. They've been described as baby cheeks. Her jaw is rounded, and her jawline is somewhat, and it gives way to her square chin that blends into her jawline seamlessly. Mika's mouth is rather narrow, and her lips have their own size. She has a thin upper lip, with a much thicker bottom lip. Above her mouth is her large, upturned-shaped, nose, that has a bit of width due to it's large nostrils. It doesn't point out too much. Mika's brown eyes are almond shaped, and, consistent with her Asian roots, slanted. Above them are thin eyelashes that get bigger as they go inwards. Usually behind her round glasses. Mika speaks slowly, with a thick Chinese accent.[/INDENT] [b]Attire:[/b] [INDENT]One thing Mika has is that she has a sense of style. She has access to a variety of clothes that accentuate her figure. None of her outfits are really overtly expensive or Fancy, since Mika doesn't like to "overdo" it. Nice clothes are nice and all, but there's little point in walking around in wearing nothing but an expensive dress other than stroking her own ego. Otherwise, Mika's style is reminiscent of a "schoolgirl". A long, modest (Sometimes short), skirt, and a variety of dress shirts. Often she wears a jacket over the dress shirt. She'd wear other outfits, her style could be casual, or professional. Though never punk, tough, or rave. She hates those styles. Of course, Mika has very expensive, round, thin, metal rimmed glasses, that she never takes off.[/INDENT] [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] [INDENT]Vain, competitive, some might even call her spoiled. Mika is a girl that was known to put on a facade of elegance above all else. It shows in the way she dresses, the way she acts. She tries to appear as composed and in control of her emotions as possible. After all, she wants everyone to know that she's a woman of stature. It's a facade that slips quite often. Often when she's pushed, or angered, she drops it in favor of a more "Uncivilized" persona she has deep down. Throwing hissy fits like a child, swearing, and insulting people. Mika walks around as if she is the queen of the castle, and top class. Looking down on the unsophisticated people in the world. To say the least, Mika would proudly avoid contact with anyone she deems "uncivilized". The people who fight, do drugs/drink, and act as if they have no sense. This trait often shows in the few, rare, instances that she interacts with them. A few offhand comments about them being "rednecks" (Or something along the lines of that), or she'd ignore them altogether. As to Mika, she's on a whole different level than them. Obviously, Mika is very haughty and egotistical. Mika judges people based on their attire, demeanor, and actions. If they meet her criteria of an interesting person, then Mika probably wouldn't mind having a talk with them. She isn't anti-social in the slightest, just judgmental and vain. People who are rich are the kind of people who Mika would prefer talking to above all else. That isn't to say that she isn't willing to talk to someone who's middle-class, long as they aren't annoying. Well, people might say that she's annoying as hell. When in social situations, some people may mistake Mika for a wall-flower. She's quiet, and only talks when she has something to say. It is because she chooses her words very carefully, and always takes the time to consider what she has to say. People could say that she's very polite, and far more mature than a girl her age should be. Otherwise, she keeps quiet and absorbs information. However, if someone were to spark her interests, it'd be hard as hell to get her to shut up about it. Clothes, music, tennis, boys, and a variety of subjects are enough to set her off. A trait of hers that people find annoying as hell. She tries not to be annoying. Mika also has a problem connecting with people - her time at the Academy has showed her that more than anything. She feels that she's too different, and that is the trouble. She tries to connect to people to the best of her ability, but ends up pushing them away. Which is why her own group of "true" friends is small. Mika is also a girl that is very slow to trust. Because of her wealthy past, she's always on guard. Even around people she may call her "friends". She always keeps one eye on people, and relies on herself more than anything. She always has a fear that people only want anything to do with her because she has money. Which is kinda why she has taken a liking to keeping her wealthy backstory a secret to the best of her ability. Though, it slips in her attire, and the way she carries herself. Mika reveals little about herself. The walls she has built up around herself let very little slip. To her, her emotions, past, and what goes on deep down are strictly off limits to others. When asked about them, she'll either dismiss them with one line, keeps quiet, or changes the subject. Not to say that she won't brag about her accomplishments or what she's done. Mika is proud to talk about those things. She'll gladly talk about the things that are within her interests. Just in case you got the idea that she's closed off about [i]everything[/i]. Nor is she completely sociopathic, she will give people a shoulder to cry on whenever she can. Other things she keeps a secret is the true nature of her power. To the world, she is a Telekinetic, not a [i]telepath[/i] or even a [i]Power Replicator[/i]. Mika knows that some people don't take too kindly to those types of Meta-humans. However, keeping her telepathy a secret allows her to be much nosier. Naturally curious, Mika goes out and seeks new information and experiences. Especially the kind of things that people keep behind closed-doors. She's a mystery-solver. Whatever interesting mysteries present themselves to her, she goes out of her way to solve them. She could be called nosy, curious about what people try the hardest to hide, and willing to snoop around. Her telepathy makes this much easier. She wishes to be a journalist, so she believes this curiosity and investigative knowledge is crucial for. Mika also loves herself some gossip. Sharing and receiving, Mika loves talking about people's dirty rumors. In fact, she's the type of person who'd spread it herself! She sometimes peeks into people's heads and casually spread them as rumors. Mika is fully aware that it's a massive invasion of privacy and abuse of her powers. But, long as people don't know about it, then it won't hurt them. Mika's morality isn't as strong as other people, she calls herself a true neutral, though she's more apathetic than anything. Mika simply doesn't have that drive and passion to go out and change the world. Mika mostly lets the people around her do as they please, and chooses to stick to her own business. Mika wouldn't help a friend in battle, and would gladly delegate to the sidelines. Because, she thinks that a lot of the confrontations people get into are meaningless ruckus that could be solved if people swallowed their pride. She personally doesn't care for other peoples calls to arm, and heroism just seems crazy to her. Though, while she won't help people personally, that doesn't mean that she just doesn't care. If someone was getting robbed, then she would certainly call for help, or at least assist from a distance. Still, her humanity will certainly shine through if the moment calls for it. If there's no other option, then she'll definitely get involved herself. Though, she's not that much of a fighter. Mika is a girl that cares very much for her independence, and freedom. She refuses to be chained to other people's causes because they said so. However, if necessary, Mika will rise to the challenge, and show profound bravery. Mika is very in touch with her sexuality, and is secure about it. Mika loves guys, and isn't willing to engage in activities with the same-sex. She is flirty, and isn't afraid to walk up to the first hunky guy and present herself to him. If he's in her interests enough, then she's wholly willing to put aside her contempt for uncivilized people. She's gotten plenty of boyfriends and has experience with boys. However, she tends to degrade herself a bit with them. When she's stressed, she often throws herself in the arms of a boy for solace. Doing things that she would ultimately come to regret later. Mika has a strange fascination with hands. She stares at beautiful hands like a pervert would stare at breasts. It's often the one thing that she stares at when she's nervous about people. Speaking of which, Mika has a nervous tick. Whenever the gal gets nervous, she starts rubbing her hands. Often rubbing things on her hands such as lotion, water, or just anything she could get her hands on. She'd also flip if her hands are dirty, or greasy in anyway. Yes, hands are somewhat of a fetish for Mika. Actions with hands, and pretty hands, are a major turn-on for her. [/INDENT] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [INDENT]Skills? Well, Mika herself has said that she's remarkably talentless, and because she didn't have too many hobbies that would build them, she doesn't have too many skills. She hasn't exactly played too many sports, but she does play plenty of tennis has a hobby. And doing it for a few years has made her pretty kickass at it. Not that she would be going pro anytime soon, but she'll kick any beginner's ass. Mika is also quite intelligent, and observant. Mika is also learning how to speak Chinese. Spending a few years around a largely Chinese family has helped, and she can keep a conversation going. Though, she hasn't exactly mastered the language, there's a few errors she'd speak here and there. Other than that, yes, she's unremarkable.[/INDENT] [b]History/Bio:[/b] [hider=Mika's Backstory][INDENT]Mika's story begins long before she was even born. Mika is the daughter of a rich Chinese businessman known as Jiao-Long Baozai, owner of a big Pharmaceutical company that works very closely with the Savior Foundation. His bastard daughter! She was the result of an affair between him and her mother, Akira Shen. Who was merely a Secretary for the company. After she was born, her father kept Mika's existence a secret. Because if word got out that he got a bastard, it would bring great shame to his family and company. He gave money to them on a regular to keep her quiet about his child. Which was enough for them to live in relative comfort. They had a nice house, and all Akira had to say was that she was an only mother - which was a lie she told even her daughter. Akira kept working for the company just to keep the guise up. That said, there isn't too much to say about Mika's early childhood, she was like all other Asian children. She went to school, she played, she lived. However, she was a bit chunky as a kid. Which was great reason for the other childruns to bully her. For the next couple of years, Mika's life went smoothly. There isn't much to note. Mika didn't exactly have too many hobbies or skills to develop other than playing with toys. When she was eight, however... that was when her life took a bit of a turn. Her mother had developed lung cancer, easily one of the most dangerous forms of cancer for women. Likely caused by her smoking habit she never dropped. The whole ordeal was expensive, and very stressful for Mika and her mother. However, it was an uphill battle, Akira didn't exactly drop a few habits, and the cancer cells spread to other places in her body. Which, unfortunately, caused the woman's demise. Akira died, and it left Mika without a family. This was the single saddest moment in her life. Every night she cried herself to sleep, knowing that her mother was dead and she's alone. She prepared for a life of foster care... however, her father had stepped in. While he wanted to keep a secret, he wasn't that heartless. Obviously, he took her under his wing, and revealed her as his daughter. From there, Mika's life took a turn for the better. She was integrated into the Baozai family. She moved into their mansions in Black Fall, Pennsylvania, got their clothes, and more. Most of all, Mika got to meet her new lovely sisters: Lin, Jia-li, and Kura. All of which Mika was older than. They didn't mesh well at first, and had their conflicts, but in the end, they were an inseparable group. Mika didn't exactly get to interact with her father as much as she thought she would. He was a very busy man, always working. Who mostly raised Mika and her sisters was the team of maids and butlers. Which always left Mika wanting something more. However, Mika was sent to a high-tier school, and told to excel. Which she did. She was also pushed into a sport... Well, she didn't really like sports or anything physical. However, she did take a liking to Tennis once she got it. But as the girls grew older, they grew to be quite the adventurous sort. They had money, and the time. With very little supervision, they could go out and do as they please. Fortunately, the daughters weren't exactly well known. All they had to do was dressed a little more locally, and they were all set. However, during one of their adventures, Lin had manifested her power. Suddenly, her older sister can read thoughts. Which was convenient, as it allowed them to avoid getting assaulted by some unsavory individuals. After getting home, they had a long discussion with each other about it. There, they decided to keep Lin's power their secret. Eventually, Lin realized that she could shape-shift to reflect the thoughts of others. However, like dominoes falling over, each of their powers activated one at a time. Next to get their power was Kura, followed by Jia-Li. Kura had the ability to manipulate bolts of lightning to her whims. While Jia-li could alter a mixture of light and darkness she calls "twilight". For awhile, it appeared as if Mika didn't even have a power at all, but she tagged along in their adventures. Like many of Black Fall's youth, they got into a variety of superhuman shenanigans. They solved mysteries, fought people, and most of all, they encountered Black Fall's many superhuman youth. They got entangled with them, making unlikely friends out of them. Most of all, they met the Valos family's group of children, Jake, Gabriela, Camille, Veronica, Joshua and Jaska. After a great misunderstanding, which involved lasers and explosions, of course. The Valos kids were much like them. Rich, bored, adventurous, and most of all, Metahumans. This was where the Baozai and Valos families intertwined. They met up plenty of times and had fun. Even going on adventures together. Eventually, Lin and Jake hooked up - but that was none of Mika's concern, really. What [i]was[/i] her concern was the fact that extended time around so many Metahumans sparked the energy within Mika. She had developed the ability to copy powers. Which she discovered after she met a very rude boy named Jago Javuant - which ended with her punching him square in the nose (incorrectly, thus hurting her own wrist). During the contact, Mika had copied his ability of telekinesis. It manifested, and she promptly lost control of it. Objects were flying around wildly, and causing property damage, and injuring people - fortunately, the boy had enough of a heart to lend a hand, and protect people using an ability he had (that Mika also had). NEST got involved, and Mika was promptly taken in. Her father could easily cover the damages, but NEST wasn't particularly happy with an out of control incident like this. So, they drafted her into the Academy Program, and she was assigned to Academy 218. She didn't have to go about it alone - the rest of the Baozais signed up, and it didn't take too long for the Valos to follow behind them. After arriving in Alaska, Mika went through many changes in this Academy. She basically became a lot more condescending, after seeing the droves of Superhuman basket cases for herself. It made her dedicate herself into becoming composed as possible. Mika quickly made a name for herself with her haughty attitude - while her sisters were having fun, and enjoying the Academy for all it's worth. However, the Academy did teach her much about her power, and she learned that she was [i]actually[/i] a power replicator. She copied her sister's telepathic ability, and entered a whole new world. Opposed to copying the powers of every last Cerebral type out there, Mika choose to stick to herself. She didn't need anymore powers (Though, she learned that she could strengthen her power by copying similar powers). Other than changing a lot, and advancing her ability, Mika didn't do much of note there. She had plenty of zany adventures on that Alaskan island dragged along by the Valos, and her sisters! She kept to herself otherwise. Her father called with a rather strange request for her one night: find and befriend a girl named Fiona Barrett, and keep track of her for him. That was odd, but Mika went through with it. It only got even more odd once it came out that Fiona was walking insect. After a bit of warming up, Mika and Fiona became friends. However, one night, a monster from the woods of the Academy attacked, and prowled the Academy like a hunter. Attacking many people in the process (Killing four). Mika was attacked by the monster - but saved herself using her telekinesis, and the timely arrival of the superhomies (Only formed once a monster shows up). They battled the monster until they killed it. That was the event at the end of the school semester - ending it with a bang. After school ended, Mika's sisters went back to Black Fall for the summer... except for Lin, who wanted to go to a party in Verthaven with her boyfriend. Mika went with her to keep her safe. Fun was had, she met her cousin (Meifeng), and then she helped catch a thief. The next morning, they walked around Verthaven, until Meifeng broke off from them, and got captured by the Hands of Science - before escaping with the help of her aunt. Mika beats herself up for letting this happen. Though, Mika had no choice but to go back to Black Fall with her sister. However, Mika found herself heading back to Verthaven. In light of recent events, her father has work to attend to in Verthaven, and he offered everyone to come along as a vacation for them. Mika agreed - only because the rest of her siblings had agreed. Though, after getting into a rather intense argument with her father, she threw a hissyfit, and arranged to stay with the Vuhongs. On their wacky adventures. [/INDENT][/hider] [u][b]Relationships[/b][/u] [b]Family:[/b] [INDENT]Mother - Akira Shen (Deceased) Father - Jiao-Long Baozai Step-Mother - Chunhua Baozai Aunt - Lihua Vuhong (Has Concrete Manipulation) Sister - Lin Baozai (Has a combination of Shape-Shifting and Telepathy) Sister - Jia-Li Baozai (Can manipulate a mixture of light and darkness) Sister - Kura Baozai (Has Electrokinesis) Cousin - Meifeng Vuhong (Has water manipulation) Cousin - Lijuan Vuhong[/INDENT] [b]Dynamics:[/b] [indent][b]Lihua Vuhong[/b] | [b]Good[/b] | [b]Aunt[/b] | [color=yellow][i]"She and I are quite similar. We talk to each other often through our phones, and I can tell that she is a weathered woman. Weathered by what is the question. Still, we get along quite well, and she treats me with respect. She apparently knows my maturity enough to give me some form of authority over Meifeng... let's see where that goes."[/i][/color] | [b]Meifeng Vuhong[/b] | [b]Mixed[/b] | [b]Troublesome Cousin[/b] | [color=yellow][i]"Acts like a redneck constantly... I find her rather annoying. Though, our banter is entertaining... Who knows, maybe some day she'll get some sense, and learn to stop trying to solve all her problems with her fist."[/i][/color] |[/indent] [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Cerebral/Power[/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [i]Cerebral-Based Power-Replication.[/i] [INDENT]All the powers work on a similar level to each other, work on a similar frequency. Which is why they're placed into categories. Body, Mind, and so on. However, Mental-type Metahumans have an energy focused in their mind, which has been called "Psychic Energy". Without rambling, Mika can absorb a bit of this energy and replicate the power by extended contact. So basically, this power is a form of Power Replication that can only copy mental powers. Now, unlike other forms of Power Replication, Mika doesn't exactly get an exact copy of the power. During the replication process, the power mutates a bit. It may differ from the original in terms of function. For example, if Mika copied telekinesis: maybe she has to touch the object first, where the owner didn't. Sometimes the difference is big, sometimes it's small. Mika can freely discard powers, but it takes a lot of concentration (She'll also have to overcome a certain weakness first). It's also possible for Mika to copy powers from full Power Replicators long as they're currently using a mind power. Just in the case Mika copies two very similar powers, they will combine and Mika will gain a boost to said power. Below are the powers that Mika currently has copied (In case you didn't get that from her backstory you Scrublet): [/INDENT] [list] [*][i]Telekinesis & Telekinetic Shields.[/i] [indent]Mika has the power to move objects with her mind. Mika has a surprisingly high telekinetic strength, capable of lifting multiple heavy objects, and throw them. Other than that, it's typical telekinesis. She can move objects, not alter things at a molecular level or anything silly. Mika can create a shield out of telekinetic energy around herself. Which appear to be transparent, white, thick, and glassy. They can stop everything physical (Energies and non-solids simply pass through them). They're durable enough to stop a barrage from multiple low caliber firearms (And maybe last a few seconds against a higher caliber assault rifle), or take a punch from a super strong Metahuman. It's very possible for Mika to fly if she stands on an object she is controlling. It requires balance, though. The kind of balance she doesn't have.[/indent] [/list] [list] [*][i]Telepathy.[/i] [indent]Copied from her younger sister, Mika has Telepathy. Like her sister, Mika's telepathy is very basic. She can read the thoughts of other people, and send any thought to people. At the moment, Mika can read surface and innate thoughts, with memories being currently out of her potential. Mika can also has a "people sense" by sensing psychic signatures, and she can tap into those signatures to read thoughts. It has a limited range, but with a little bit of focus, Mika can extend that range. An offensive technique Mika has thought of is relatively simple actually. She can flood peoples heads with a bunch of random thoughts.[/indent] [/list] [b]Limits:[/b] [indent]Obviously, Mika can only copy mind powers. Mika can't use two powers at once, she can only switch between them. She has to stop using one power in order to use another. Mika can only retain six powers at a time. Once she reaches her limit, she must discard one before she absorbs another. The more/larger objects she controls, the main strain will be put on her. Thus, the harder it will be for her to control everything. Mika cannot move people at all, nor herself. The most she can do is move them [i]with[/i] objects. As for the shields, Mika can only keep them manifested for a period of time. Around ten minutes, before they dissipate. Her shields also don't move, and block attacks from both sides. And, as I mentioned before, it can only block physical/solids. She [i]can[/i] use both her shields and telekinesis at the same time, but the mental strain would be so exhausting that she'd only be able to do it for a few seconds. So, basically, she has to use one, or the other. Mika can only read one mind at a time. Mika has a range of ten meters, only capable of extending it with focus (Possibly overexerting herself). And let me just go over the usual thing and say that excessively using her power causes nosebleeds, headaches, and the sort.[/INDENT] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b][INDENT] First and foremost, Mika doesn't know how to use the powers right from the start. She'll have to learn how to use them herself. Coupled with the fact that her powers are different from the original, Mika will always be far behind the owner (Unless they were to have an accident...). Another weakness she has is that, once she copies a power, she will be stuck with it until she becomes proficient in it. Meaning she won't be able to swap it out for another power until she gets good at using it. She can't really discard the power either, because that would require her to be good at using it. So she may get stuck with a bad power. Mika's telekinesis requires concentration, and the bigger the use, the more concentration she needs to put in. Breaking her concentration, naturally, cancels all current uses of telekinesis. It's also linked to her emotional state. In times of heavy emotion, her powers are harder to control. The same two weaknesses apply to the shield aspect, along with a few other weaknesses. Any attack that the shield takes backlashes against Mika mentally, causing more mental strain to keep the shield going. If it goes on for too long, the shield will break, and Mika will be mighty rattled for a few moments, leaving her exposed. There's only so much her telepathy can take. If someone were to think a lot of thoughts, Mika would receive a severe psychic shock. One hell of a headache and will be jolted for a few moments. Mika will also have to shift through people's minds in order to get to the thoughts she wants to. The random, intrusive, and sexual, thoughts that nobody will want to see. The more intense thoughts tend to overwhelm all the other thoughts - making it harder to read what she wants.[/INDENT] [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] [INDENT]Mika's father is one of the Saviors.

He was selected due to his exemplary service during The Great War. Outwardly, Luther appears to be calm, collected and professional - and exceptionally pragmatic. To his friends and superiors he is a very polite, kind, and well-spoken man. Albeit very sarcastic. However, that friendliness evaporates on the job. He's focused, serious, and hardened. When necessary, he'll become a drill sergeant and chew out anyone for their stupid behavior. He most certainly hates failure, and incompetence even more so. He's a very intelligent and tactical man, trained in weaponry and more. He can come up with a plan on the fly. He's very honorable and disciplined - he will not tolerate senseless violence and crimes, but he will do what he has to in order to keep the peace. Keeping the peace means handling the bad apples in the Mutants outbreak. He won't hesitate to strike down any mutants H.A.N.D. tells him to. Innately is a different discussion altogether. His mind is always in a rush, and he's second-guessing almost everything. It bothers him that he's unprepared for absolutely everything, and tries his hardest to think over every possibility of every situation. Which means he sometimes thinks where he needs to act. [/indent] [b]Traits and Abilities[/b] [indent] [i]Telepathy.[/i] Luther has gained a powerful mental ability from the Cata serum. It's telepathic in nature, but before I can describe that, I have to describe the basis first. Luther can detect minds around him at a wide radius, which more or less acts as a "people sense". With some focus, he can extend the range, but the furthest this has gone is around fifty feet without passing out. It tells him where any minds are, and with a little bit of focus, he can access them (He can access one or more minds at one time). There are plenty of things he can do by accessing a mind. He can do the usual telepath techniques such as reading surface and inner-most thoughts and sending thoughts (Which means by default he can communicate with people without even talking). He can Mind-links between himself and a group of people, which means they can hear each other's thoughts and communicate anonymously. While this ability may seem passive, it is possible for him to launch mental attacks against others. Two ways actually. The first and simplest way for him to attack someone is to flood their heads with random thoughts. Throwing off their focus and possibly overloading their minds with more information than they can possibly contain. The second and more complicated way is a mental blast that sends thoughts, memories, and emotions whirling around, causing severe headaches for a few minutes. Finally, Luther can defend himself against mental attacks of his own. He will always know if someone is entering his head, and can throw up mental barriers that keep people out. He's also cloaked by means of mental-based detection. While his ability is incredible, it comes with some weaknesses and counters. For starters, those with high enough willpower can resist his mental intrusions and keep him out of their head. If someone were to think a bunch of random thoughts at a time, they can either keep Luther from getting information, or they can overload his mind. A major weakness Luther has is that whenever he uses his telepathy, he opens his mind up. Think of it like a mental flood-gate opening. When he uses his telepathy he begins letting thoughts into his head, and the more he does it (Or if he uses the fancier tricks such as mental attacks), the more thoughts will flood into his mind. Which can cause his mind to overload and suffer physical damage. [/indent] [b]H.A.N.D. Status[/b] [indent] Luther leads Brovo Team for H.A.N.D. and has personally seen the capture of many mutants. Using his power he is highly capable of predicting what a mutant is going to do next, and has used it to set up communications for his team that are nigh-impossible to eavesdrop on. He was recruited due to his skill, leadership, and how he took initiative when no one else did. From there, he's been deemed compatible with the serum and worked for them for years. [/indent] [b]History[/b] [indent] Luther didn't exactly have a great childhood. He was born as a young African-American in the southern states where racism runs deep. He lived in a racially segregated community with the rest of the blacks. He had to worry about people like the KKK attacking him wherever he went, and lived hated. Though, his childhood was happy as it could be. He was taught by his parents that race didn't matter, and not to despise the white-man - because that would only breed even more hatred. He held these ideals to this day. Though he spent his childhood longing for more. He wanted to be the best, and have the best education. But America was too segregated. So he bide his time. Hoping that times would change. The Great War came around by the time he was of age. Many people in his community were stepping up and joining the army to gain the respect of America. Luther trained vigorously to qualify for the army. He was allowed to serve in the army, he still faced discrimination. He took it all in stride as he hoped to serve in a combat position. Luther saw that many African-Americans never fought in combat roles - they were placed in labor roles. He saw it unfit, and worked hard as he possibly could to fight in the army. Even if it meant that he had to brown-nose. However, he was selected for the 92nd Infantry Division, a Division made from African-American soldiers, working under the 367th Infantry Regiment. He, along with a large group of soldiers, were sent to France to fight in the war. He fought alongside French soldiers against the Germans. The Division as a whole weren't that experienced, and thus they received a bad reputation. Regardless, Luther has seen plenty of action, and came out of it alive. Coming back he was almost driven crazy attempting to reintegrate into civilian life. At this point The Great Migration (Where African-Americans moved from the south northwards) had began. He figured that he'd join in that endeavor, but every time he tried, he failed. War was all Luther knew. It's never been peaceful. So H.A.N.D. offered him a rather important job, which he accepted without a second thought. He was compatible with the Cat serum, and gained superpowers relating to the mind. He worked his way up the organization, capturing and killing mutants that they told him to, until he selected for position of leader of Brovo team.

He doesn't have much mass to his body anything, he's skin and bones. Matthias's limbs are extra long, with his legs making up most of his height. He has a slouch in his stance, and takes slow and large steps when he walks, but are steady, trying to cover plenty of distance, but at the same time, trying not to step on things, or trip - He can also be seen watching his steps. His feet are also rather large (You know what that means, ladies) and he has large squared hands, with long fingers. His skin isn't perfect, slightly pale, like the kind of person who doesn't get a lot of sunlight. His body strangely doesn't have a single mark on him. No scars, no marks, perfectly clear, like he never was injured once in his life. Matthias has a few tattoos on his being. One on the right side of his chest of a black-inked heart with an arrow through it (With some slight blood) that says [i]Love and War[/i]. He also a tattoo on the side of his neck that says [i]Cut here.[/i] Matthias could be considered somewhat attractive, he's more plain than anything. He has squared and pronounced facial features, with a large chin with a cleft and a rather dull jawline. He has a rather large and round nose, with a thick nose bridge, and nice and large nostrils. His ears are small but quite rounded. He has rather sharp and piercing eyes, that are small, and slightly slanted. Matthias has a head of straight black hair, neck-length, slicked back and brushed over his ears. [b]Attire:[/b] Matthias doesn't dress to impress, long as it matches, he'll wear it. He'll wear jeans, T-shirts, jackets, hats, and so on. That said, he doesn't have a style. He's sometimes seen wearing glasses. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] A very laid-back person. He doesn't really do the social game too well. He usually takes a backseat role when it comes to interaction, and rarely approaches anyone. He has very low self-esteem, and is somewhat cynical and pessimistic. He doesn't think anyone would really be interested in him, which is apart of the reason why he's so cut off from the rest of the world. Though, he's perfectly capable of keeping a conversation going - People who talk to him learn that he's rather humble, and calm, a nice person to talk to. Matthias is rather perverted when it comes to the ladies. He'll ogle girls and indulge in other acts of perversion - Long as he doesn't get caught that is, he tries to keep it in wraps, and not do anything too obvious. Matthias has a strong desire to help those around him, and heavily believes in taking responsibility for one's actions. He'll go help people that he thinks needs help. He doesn't have too much regard for his own personal safety, perfectly willing to do things that no one else would (Well, mostly because he can heal). Matthias doesn't seem to realize the effects of his own death on the people around him. However, he's prone to impulsive actions, and by that extent, failure. So, he tends to rush into situations and get into fights he can't win, or takes direct action where anyone else would pick a more subtle choice. [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] Girls, gaming, computers, science, technology, and I could go on. [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] Not a lot. Matthias is very good at gaming, and good with computers. He's also an expert cleaner, give him a few hours and your house will be so clean you can eat off of it. He also has basic fighting skills, but nothing that will help him win street fights. [b]Prized Possession:[/b] Nothing [b]Family:[/b] [list] Mother - Linda OxenfordFather- Graham OxenfordSister - Elizabeth OxenfordSister - Isabel OxenfordSister - Karen Oxenford[/list] [u][b]Relationships[/b][/u] [b]Relationships:[/b] [b]Sylvia Bertoose[/b] | [b]Bad[/b] | [b]Stranger[/b] | [i]"I thought she was pretty when I walked up... She's... an asshole."[/i] | [b]Stephen Avarian[/b] | [b]Neutral[/b] | [b]Acquaintance[/b] | [i]"I think he's a bit weird, but I think once I get to know him, there'll be a whole another layer to him."[/i] | [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] Biological 7, Super-System 5, & Power 4 [b]Power:[/b] [i]Hyper Adaptive System.[/i] Matthias is one hard fucker to kill. He has a powerful biological power-set that renders him very difficult to kill. For starters, he has an incredibly powerful regenerative factor. Even the most deadly wounds will be closed in a few moments. He can control his regeneration to focus on healing one specific wound - because normally he'll regenerate every wound in his body at once. It also allows him to regenerate lost limbs, given the time. Matthias's regeneration isn't the only thing that makes him hard to kill, he has an adaptive system and redundant organs. These two abilities basically mean that he has zero weak points on his body, so he can treat any damage as if it was cosmetic. He either doesn't need certain lesser organs, or if an important organ is damaged another organ adapts to take it's place while he regenerates. If his eyes are taken out, he can sense through his skin, a slashed throat would have no adverse effects, etc, etc. His body can even move organs out of the way if he sees an attack coming. His body can also temporarily adapt to adversity (Adapting to heat/cold, breathing underwater or not needing air in a vacuum, etc). Matthias can also detach limbs, and control them like they were still attached to his body. When he's ready, he can just put a limb back on (His regeneration grafts it back on). It's a result of his regeneration preserving his arm, and his redundant systems stopping him from dying from blood loss. These abilities also come with being near-immune to contaminants, delayed aging, and he can't possibly go into shock. [i]Biological Template Mimicry.[/i] Matthias's body can consume a biological template of other people and animals. Once he has a template stored into his body, he is capable of a few feats. The first and foremost trait he has is that he can shape-shift into a perfect copy of that person. Right now, he's most limited to that one form, but as time goes on, he can have a bit more freedom with his shape shifting (Adjusting his features, and on the extreme shape-shifting into anyone imaginable). Another ability he has is that he has a limited form of power replication. If someone he consumes a biological sample of has a physically based or biologically based power, he will gain a weakened version of their ability (Such as Theresa's narcotic fluids and regeneration, or Henry's lizard powers). Just to clarify, he doesn't need to shape-shift into someone to use their power, and once he consumes another template, he will lose that ability. [b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] Matthias's regeneration has a few weaknesses. While it's insanely fast, the more wounds he has to heal, the slower it goes overall - He can't really counteract this by focusing his regeneration. If he is stabbed and a weapon stays in the wound, his regeneration is interrupted until it's removed. Matthias can still feel pain like any other normal human being. While he can regenerate from damage to the brain, it will take awhile to heal, and it is possible to kill him with severe brain trauma. It's also possible to simply knock him unconscious. He's hard to kill, but there are ways to truly kill him. He can't keep a body part separated for too long, or else it'll decay and he won't be able to reattach it. Fortunately, he can grow a new, but it'll take awhile. Matthias can't separate his head, or split his body in half, without killing himself - He probably could, but doesn't want to risk trying. Finally, Matthias has zero defenses against mental attacks, or telepathy, so they are free to mind-rape him without resistance. [b][u]Other:[/u][/b][/hider] [hider=May Pimm (RP: Black Fall ver. 1)][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [i]May Rhea Pimm[/i] [b]Nickname/Alias:[/b] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Height:[/b] 5'7 [b]Weight:[/b] 156 [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] Sandy Blonde [b]Eye Color:[/b] Blue [b]Ethnicity:[/b] American/Caucasian [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] May is a very odd looking person. She is mutated physically. While she isn't as mutated as other Meta-humans, she still has some very major mutations. Before I get into them, I guess I'll go into her basic features before. Like the rest of her siblings and lineage she shares similar features to them. Blonde hair, blue eyes, Caucasian skin. She has a slender athletic build, like in between skinny and muscular. Meaning she has muscles in some places but not everywhere. Because of her athletic nature, there's little to none visible fat on her. May has long limbs, with longer fingers. She has an inverted triangle shaped head. With a well-defined and slightly wrinkled face. Her cheekbones are round and large, much like her siblings. Just not as notable. Her forehead is very wide, most of it is covered by her hair, however. Her lips are very thick and full, her mouth is also slightly larger than average. Her ears are small, and slightly pointed at the top. These ears are usually hidden under her hair. Her nose is long and wide, her wide nostrils are one of the more notable things about her face. May's skin is bisque colored and she has very few scars, they don't have any stories attached to them. Her face is covered in pimples and she does have one small scar on her right cheek. Now for May's physical mutations. She has wings, scary eyes, claws and a tail. Her wings are dark-blue colored. Her wings have a very wide girth, each of her wings are dragon-like and have thick skin. These wings are seven-feet wide, and three-feet long. At the top of her wings are two "fingers" which he can twitch around (that's just about it). Another thing she can do is fold the skin on her wings making them thin as her wing bones and easy to compact for later use. These wings don't give her the ability to fly at all. Though she does have alternative means of flight. Fortunately these wings are easily concealed in the heavy clothing she wears. May's eyes are heavily animal-like. These eyes are very large and wide, appearing much like the eyes of snakes. Her eyes are golden colored and her iris are two horizontally positioned lines. May's tail is thin, at least two two inches toward in circumference. This tail is four feet long and ends in a heart-shaped tip. Her tail can easily be wrapped around her leg as she walk around. [b]Attire:[/b] May wears extravagant clothing, taking advantage of her family's money. To hide her mutations she tends to wear heavy clothing. One thing that she's always seen wearing is a large flamingo-feather coat. This coat is bright-pink and made out of actual flamingo feathers. This coat is also very long and goes down past her knees. Under this coat May usually wears a suit of any color or a shirt and pants. To cover up her eyes, May sports a pair of sunglasses with red shades with pointed tips. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] May likes western novels, mice, clowns, fantasy movies, and fighter jets. [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] May is very skilled in soccer, and the extravagant kind of dancing (like ballroom dancing). While this may not be a skill, she believes that she's good at manipulation and fear tactics on her enemies.. [b]Goals:[/b] Usurp the Valos family, ruin them. She also wishes to serve Caden and work towards his goals. [b]Favorite color:[/b] [b]Prized Possession:[/b] Her Flamingo Coat.

[b]Lovers:[/b] Interested in Caden (though he doesn't return the feelings) [b]Marital Status:[/b] Single [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] Chemical (Main Class), Super-system and Elemental [b]Power:[/b] As stated in her appearance; May has some physical mutations. She can also extend her fingers into one and a half foot long needles. Turning them into claws. These claws are razor sharp and can easily slash through people's throats. Though, they're very fragile. This isn't even May's main power--- She's a walking drug factory. She has the ability to generate a bright pink gas from her sweat pores that flows like smoke. This gas has a eerie, yet spiritual feel. This gas randomly sparkles when people looks at it. When anyone inhales this gas (even in the slightest) they'll start to receive the effects of this gas. The effects depends on how much they breathe in, or how much they get "dosed". Lower dosages of it will cause pleasant feelings, and a slight reduction of pain. Higher dosages will cause people to feel so good that they won't be able to move, their injuries start to be healed and apathy. Rendering them easy to be exploited by May. This gas is highly addictive. It's also very difficult for people to overdose--- They would have to have inhaled a lot of it. In fights May uses this gas to distract her opponents with how good they are feeling. Her main tactic is prolonging the fight long as possible while drugging up her enemies until they're at her mercy. Speaking of which, May is immune to the effects of the gas. May can also transform her body into this gas, she'll be able to move like the gas and fly. Allowing attacks to past right through her, making her near-invincible while in fights. This gas form allows her to go anywhere that isn't sealed air tight. Making her quite useful in scouting and infiltration. While she's in gas-form, she won't be able to control her gas or create anymore. May's outfit is incorporated into her transformation. If a part of May is inhaled while she's in gas-form, then she'll promptly regenerate it. One thing May can do is partially turn into the gas. In this partial form she'll become much more mobile and will be able to control and create gas. May won't be too strong in either categories. She'll still be tangible and people will be able to attack her. [b]((This ability will only be used for story purposes. Nor will it be used on characters without permission))[/b] May's gas form also gives her a sinister ability. If someone is injured enough, or drugged enough; she can physically fly into their body and take control of their body. She'll receive their memories and have the same amount of control over them as she does herself. If she tries this while someone isn't weak enough then they'll easily be able to resist and may inhale a bit of her. This ability has a time-limit, she can only use it for a day's tops and after a few hours the body can reject her and regain control. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] May's gas has three main oppositions. Water, Heat and Cold. When her gas comes in contact with water, a chemical reaction takes place that neutralizes the gas. Intense heat and cold will also neutralize the gas. Strong winds can blow the gas away. One of May's biggest weaknesses is her gaseous form. Since in her alternate form she is made out of the gas, people still get the same effects that it usually does. If someone were to inhale her completely then she'd be killed instantly. Even if a small part of her gets inhaled then she'd feel extreme amounts of pain. She can be heavily injured by intense heat and cold, and being braced with any kind of water will cause her to revert back to her human form. [b]Burst Potential:[/b] Delta, Zeta, and Omega [b][u]Other:[/u][/b][/hider] [hider=Morgana Ogmer (RP: Highroller Heights)][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [i]Morgana Ella Ogmer[/i] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [i]The Pumpkin Witch[/i] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 26 [b]Height:[/b] 5'6 [b]Weight:[/b] 100 [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] Dyed Bright red. Naturally light-brown [b]Eye Color:[/b] Brown [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Caucasian - Brish and Irish [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Morgana takes the appearance of a sleepy woman. She constantly walked around with a blank, bored, sleepy expression on her face. Her expression barely changes, no matter what happens. The most change that'd happen is a lazy grin creeping up on her face when something amusing happens. The way she walks around is like a high-class super-model on the runway, she's always strutting it, and walking like a super-star. Morgana is a slim girl, she doesn't have a super impressive body. Her curves are rather flat, and unappealing. Morgana's limbs are a bit long, with her legs making up a bit of her height. Her limbs are slender, with her fingers long and bony. Morgana is Danish, and she has whitish, near-pale, skin. A skin that is clear of imperfections like scars or blemishes. Morgana's body underneath her clothing is covered in these strange fire-like tattoos that encompasses her her body and are all connected. Morgana has a rounded diamond shaped head, with rounded facial features. She has a large head, which gets more streamlined as it goes down. Her chin is rather pointed, but still strong looking. She doesn't have a pronounced jawline of the sorts. Morgana has small, full lips which appear to be wide. Morgana's nose is a bit large, it's triangle points forward a few centimeters. Her nostrils are also triangle-shaped. The bridge up to her nose is quite long too. Morgana has smooth, hard to notice, cheekbones. Morgana's eyes are strange, as a result of her power. Her eyes are very large, and abnormally shaped, and are purple, and appear as if she doesn't have an iris. Her eyes are just all purple. Morgana's hair is dyed bright red, and is very curly. She doesn't keep it in any particular style, it just hangs off the back of her head all the way to her shoulders. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] It's hard to gauge Morgana's personality, because she barely shows any though words. Morgana never talks. She communicates with people using body language and sometimes writing it down. She can be heard giggling when something amuses her - Which a lot of things does, mostly things that should threaten her. When Morgana does talk, she only does it briefly, and people tend to listen. Even though, her voice is very high pitched and girly. Morgana is a noble person, willing to do what's right to help people. Though, she's not the super devote hero, and tends to fall into selfishness quite often. That said, Morgana, when faced with an actuate threat, tends to be near sociopathic. Ruthless and unfeeling towards her enemies. [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] Plants, Cyril, amusing people. [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] Morgana is very observant, she's the kind of person that silently watches from a distance, picking up details and facts. Mixed with her uncanny silence and sneaking skills, she calls herself a good spy. Morgana is also unmatched when it comes to gardening. [b]Prized Possession:[/b] A garden. [b]Quote(s):[/b] [i]"Hehehehehehehe...."[/i] [u][b]Relationships[/b][/u] [b]Family:[/b] She ate them. [b]Friends:[/b] Them too. [b]Enemies:[/b] Anyone who steps on grass. [b]Lovers:[/b] Cyril. Her one and only. [b]Marital Status:[/b] Dating. [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] Plant/Elemental [b]Power:[/b] [i]Chlorokinetic-Body.[/i] Morgana has an interesting body, she is a walking, living, breathing plant in a human shape. She can turn her body into any plant or vegetation imaginable, shaping it into weapons, extra-limbs, and so forth. She can also create any consumable plant or vegetable by willing it. Her biology is also drastically different from humans, it's more of plant biology. In place of blood, she has various plant liquids (Water, Green Chlorophyll, Etc) constantly being transported. She doesn't have a circulatory system like humans do. Morgana has a vascular system, that that is similar to the blood vessels in animals. However rather then having a heart to move her fluids about; other forces are utilized (Root pressure, etc). Therefore she has no heartbeats, because she has no functioning heart. Her biology/body is drastically different from humans, but still retains a few key features that allows her to function/appear as a human. Morgana "breathes" through her skin, and she can create oxygen in the process. It's simple, she breathes by 'inhaling' carbon dioxide and 'exhaling' oxygen, creating a constant amount of oxygen for everyone to use! Sorry, I was getting a little too science-y. Because of her alternate biology, she has a form of regeneration. By forcing her body to grow new plant matter to repair damage. Depending on what's damaged, this can be near instantaneous. Usually it's automatic and body-wide, but she can selectively regenerate any part of her body. She can also draw/absorb other plant matter to repair the damaged tissue. Replacing a lost limb is elementary. Morgana is resistant to diseases and toxins. Some plants deal with infection/poison by simply killing off the infected tissue and expelling it before it spreads. She'll lose a bit of matter, but Maria can quickly regenerate the lost tissue. She can control and secrete pheromones that are generated from plants, which can allow her to draw a swarm of insects to herself, or repel them. Useless ability, but is cool to have. Morgana also has a connection to other plants. She can sense them in the immediate area, and instinctively gain information about them (which part of their life cycle they're in, what kind of plant they are, etc, etc). Morgana can also sense through them if she focuses. You see, to an extent, plants can feel, smell, and taste (There's also a theory that they can hear, but nah). Well, it's mostly limited to other plants. Plants can feel, and Morgana knows what they feel. Such as a gust of wind, or someone touching them, she has long learned the difference. Now, Morgana can do the usual manipulation of plants other than herself. She can freely manipulate the growth and size, and exercises precise control over them. Making them grow to exponential levels. She can control wood, vines, plants, moss and fungus, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits and flowers. She can use the plants around her to both attack and defend herself from harm. Her ability requires her feet be on the ground, otherwise her control is severely weakened. She generally exerts physical force by stomping her feet or digging her fingers into the soil, to increase her power to amazing levels. Maria can basically control all plants, and is all powerful in woods. Not too much to describe here, since you should already know what she can do. Her last ability, to make her even more overpowered, is Plant-Based Resurrection. In short, if she dies, her body withers away and turns into dust, then a little seed comes out. If this seed is currently in contact with dirt (Doesn't matter if soil or not) it'll dig itself in. Then the seed will grow another body over the course of a few days. She'll return to an earlier age, the exact point where she got her powers back in her teens. She's functionally immortal. Of course, if it isn't by dirt, then someone will have to plant it or else she'll be in her dormant seed state. [b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] Morgana's body is very frail and easy to damage, while she can turn into wood, that isn't the most durable material. She can get destroyed very easily, but fortunately, she can regenerate. Morgana is weak against plant destroying elements such as fire, lightning, ice, and poisons. Fire and heat are her primary weakness, however. If she's on fire, her regeneration will be severely slowed until the flame is extinguished. Getting burned to ash can also kill Morgana for good. Morgana's strength depends on how many plants are around, if she's in a desolate area, she's not that hard to beat. Mostly because she's not that powerful by herself. If she's deprived of sunlight for too long, then she'll become sluggish and slow - Eventually she'll shut down and remain dormant until she gets sunlight again. She needs to be without sunlight for a day or so for this to occur. However, if she uses up all of her energy by using her powers, and is without sunlight for a long period of time, she'll go dormant anyway. If she's deprived of water, then her body will dry up and begin to wither and will gradually lose access to her plant powers, until she dies and reverts back to a seed. Morgana can be killed for good if someone were to destroy her seed, or if she dies by burning to death. Her resurrection can be interrupted if someone damages her in the process of growing a new body. If her body is destroyed during this process, she'll revert back to a seed.

Maria is a very slim and average heighted woman, having almost no visible body fat. Only muscle. She appears to be Hispanic, with dark-brown skin, she's specifically a native Mexican. Maria's body is covered in a myriad of scars. On her face, on her limbs, all over her body. She lived a lifetime of the most brutal violence around, it's natural. She has an athletic build, and has broad, thick, shoulders, with a bulky frame that wouldn't look out of place on an athlete. All without muscles. Maria's limbs are a bit long, with her legs making up a bit of her height. Her limbs are slender, with her fingers long and bony.

Her forehead is quite large, she has a massive forehead of doom. Maria's hair is a very dark shade of brown and is very curly. She doesn't keep it in any particular style, it just hangs off the back of her head all the way to her back. [b]Attire:[/b] Maria dresses up more like a Muslim woman than a Mexican. She wears a tight outfit that covers up as much of her body as possible. Long sweaters, masks, jeans, body armor, trench coats, that kind of thing. She wears a mask around her face, so the only thing you can see is some of her face. Whenever she runs into a fight, she usually wears goggles. On Maria's hips are two gun holsters, where she keeps her pistols ready. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] A cold and calculated human being. A life of crime and violence has turned Maria into a monster, the Desert Wind, as she called herself. One that lusts for power, a power she will use for her own reasons. She is not afraid of killing anyone who gets in her with impunity, merely because it was the way. When she talks, she talks like a leader, the head honcho you don't want to screw with, but can be quite sarcastic. However, Maria does have some semblance of morality. She will not intentionally cause collateral damage, nor will she injure the young. Everyone else is fair game though. She will treat her underlings fairly. If someone is useless to her, they will cut them loose, and that will be the end of it. [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] N/A [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] The good old Mexican Cartels and living life on the streets as a child has taught her a few things. First, she knows combat like the back of her hand. She's not professionally trained, but very experienced. She knows how to use a wide variety of guns, including assault rifles. She's also good with a knife and hand to hand. She's very quick on her feet, and can climb well. She has spent her younger years as a pick pocket, she can yoink a wallet like it's nothing. [b]Prized Possession:[/b] A beaten up barbie doll that Maria stole from some tourist girl when she . [b]Quote(s):[/b] [b]History/Bio:[/b] Classified, but Maria served the Mexican cartels ever since she got her powers. She was forced to fight for them, kill for them, and damn right she did it well. They molded her into what she is. Now after a few incidents... She wants that power for herself. So she killed the people who she once served and went straight to America. She went to High-Roller heights to engage in some classic villainy. Robbing banks, kicking over baby carriages, and drinking the tears of orphans. Now, she is gathering an army of Meta-humans for something thing big. Who knows what. [u][b]Relationships[/b][/u] [b]Family:[/b] Dead [b]Friends:[/b] Also pretty dead [b]Enemies:[/b] White people, the cartel, and white people. [b]Lovers:[/b] The world's best looking sandcastle. [b]Marital Status:[/b] Single [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] Elemental/Anatomical [b]Power:[/b] [i]Macro-Sand Manipulation.[/i] Maria can control every drop of sand perfectly within 500 kilometers to herself. She can do all the usual stuff elemental types can do. Move sand, make constructs with it, as well as the ability to create sand. She can summon sand storms, bury cities with ease, and tear through people like it's nothing. Maria is especially powerful in Highroller Heights with all the sand that surrounds the city. A perk of her power allows her to sense all sand within the aforementioned range, which allows her to control sand far outside her range. Along with an ability to sense vibrations within sand. Maria herself can turn into a cloud of sand for dodging attacks, slipping into cracks, or a form of stealth. A perk of turning into sand is that she has two forms of regeneration. First, she can turn into sand to fix any physical damage, and second, she can draw sand into her wound to repair the damage. Maria's final and more dangerous ability is that she can turn her surroundings into sand. People, objects, animals, they'll slowly wither into sand. The closer they are to her, the better it works. Anything she touches can be instantly turned into sand. Don't ask how she can do that, it's just cool. [b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] THERE ARE NONE. SHE IS UNSTOPPABLE. [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Maria will be bad guy one, in a long line of evil villains.[/hider] [hider=Megan Jervious (RP: Academy 218 ver. 1)][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [i]Megan Emma Jervious[/i] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [b]Gender:[/b] Female, can change genders [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Height:[/b] 6'1ft [b]Weight:[/b] 100lb [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] Burgundy Red [b]Eye Color:[/b] Bright Green [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Caucasian. [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Megan appears as a very sophisticated woman. She appears as a woman in her mid-twenties, and is quite attractive. In fact, Megan is a shape-shifter. She can appear as anyone she desires. That out of the way, she has one main form. She takes the appearance of a woman that's looks a bit mature and intellectual. Like a hot teacher. Megan towers among other teachers (6'1) and weights surprisingly little (Exactly 100). Her frame is very thin, curvy, and she has a bit of an hour-glass figure. Her limbs are very long, and her fingers are quite long too. Megan's true ethnicity is a mystery for the ages. However, her main form has pronounced, smooth pale white skin, with little to no scars, blemishes, wrinkles, or various other skin perfections on her at all. Her skin is absolutely perfect. Her body is absolutely covered in light freckles - Most are on her face. As I stated before, Megan is incredibly good looking because of her shape-shifting. Better than super-models. It's unknown whether she really is attractive underneath the guise. Megan has a thin, pear-shaped head. Megan's facial features are rounded, but very mature looking. She has a very sharp and jawline. Megan's chin is quite small and round. Her cheeks are very round and large, they stick out quite a bit in comparison to her face. Megan's lips are thick and full, quite womanly, when they open they reveal Megan's white pearly teeth. She has a small, triangle-shaped, near-avian hooked nose, that has a long, thin nose bridge. Megan's ears are quite small, and point outwards. Megan's eyes are very large, catlike, and generally a distinct interested stare, and have a green color. Megan's hair is a bright burgundy red color, and is very curly/wavy and is kept in a shaggy messy style. Her hair is back-length. [b]Attire:[/b] Her outfit is incorporated into her shape-shifting, and she can change her clothes like the rest of her body. Megan dresses in a modest, Gothic style that covers up a lot of skin. She's usually seen wearing a black dress. But she'll wear button-ups, vests, shirts, pants, etc, as long as it's modest, she'll wear it. Megan wears glasses for some reason, she doesn't really need to use them. Often enough, she's seen walking around with a clip-board. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] Megan is a very polite woman and very sarcastic at the same time. Megan is quite the sociopathic one. She doesn't seem to be phased by things like violent murder or the possibly of dying - She views her own death as irrelevant and have been in so many situations that she knows what panicking like a hormonal teenager is very counter-productive. Speaking of which she likes to get to know people (especially of the meta-human variety) inside-out, more or less literally. Meaning she'll try especially hard to figure out their personality, their depths, and their secrets. She's also fond of people in dangerous and life-threatening situations as to her it's a great way to find out how people will react while in them - It also makes a great way to teach. As to her it's a great way to find out about them. She's not above putting people in those situations. Megan speaks with a heavy British accent and tends to say lots of things in her sentences and statements and has the habit of going off subject and ramble on about other things. You may be talking about a apple, and she'll start talking about apples, then shortly start talking about the contents of a apple, then it'll somehow shift to apple juice distributors. Lest she's stopped and reminded of the subject. Speaking of which; she's very intelligent, and patient, she can pick up on things that people don't. She's also the type to head out and interact with people and act of as a sort of commentator - She'll find someone she enjoys being around and she'll cling to them until she has discovered everything about them. [b]Prized Possession:[/b] N/A [u][b]Relationships[/b][/u] [b]Family:[/b] Unknown. [b]Friends:[/b] It's hard to tell with Megan. [b]Enemies:[/b] Unknown. [b]Lovers:[/b] Unknown. [b]Marital Status:[/b] Single forever. [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] Anatomical/Biological, and Super-System (Along with some hidden classes) [b]Power:[/b] [i]Amorphous Shape-Shifting.[/i] Megan is an incredibly powerful shape-shifter. Capable of abilities that aren't commonly seen in the Shape-shifter power-set. Megan's an amorphous being, her true form reveals that she's obviously not human! Obviously, the first thing that Megan can do is shapeshift into anything she can imagine, and can alter her body in any way - As long as she doesn't break the laws of Mass Conservation. Whether it's people, animals, or inanimate objects, she can shape-shift into it. Megan is capable of copying someone down to the DNA, but first she needs to come in skin-to-skin contact them first. After she does this, she'll also have their scent, their voice, and their appearance. Megan can mimic the properties of objects that she shape-shifts into, textures, hardness, and etc. First she has to come in contact with said object to copy. She can also apply this mimicry to her body at will, such as making her skin take the properties as stone. Megan also processes an accelerated healing-factor. Small wounds close in seconds, and major ones in mere hours. Megan also processes great strength and agility that's rather disproportionate to a girl her size. Finally, Megan has a natural reactive adaption ability, that'll allow her to gain a resistance to whatever. Such as in extremely cold temperatures she'll be thermal resistant, and when facing electricity, she'll become non-conductive. It's temporary, however. There are more to Megan's power than I'm letting on, but that'll spoil a little bit of the plot. [b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] Megan's body is very touch-sensitive due to all the transformations she goes under. She'll feel a bit more pain than the average human being from just about anything. Megan can't break the laws of mass conservation, what she wants to shape-shift into needs to be of a similar mass. She can't turn into working machines that are more than basic in terms of complexity. Megan's shape-shifting isn't entirely fool-proof. Cerebral types can easily see through her disguises, especially when she's shapeshifted as an object (Inanimate objects have no minds). I couldn't really think of anything here, so I hope this'll cut it in terms of weaknesses. [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Since I couldn't decide what Megan should be, I said f*ck it and went with both. Megan is an art teacher, and a power instructor for the students with transformation powers, and those with super-system powers. She's known for her... Unorthodox methods, and near sadistic tendacies while teaching. Megan is heavily inspired by double from skullgirls.[/hider] [hider=Missy Baroness (City of Gold ver. 1)][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [i]Melissa Aubrey Baroness[/i] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [i]Missy, The Condemned[/i] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Faction:[/b] SAM [b]Height:[/b] 5'8ft [b]Weight:[/b] 92 [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] Light-brown [b]Eye Color:[/b] Blue [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Caucasian - Danish [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Missy doesn't exactly look like your average teenaged girl. Hell, she looks like something out of a horror movie. Her exposed skin is covered in thick veins. She has an eerily slender and bony, nearly anorectic, build, with little curves. Like if she dropped all of her clothes, people could see her skin clinging to her bones. Her pale skin isn't even perfectly clear, it's covered in scars of the slashing variety. However they appear as if something had bust out of her skin rather than someone stabbing into her. Missy has brutally engraved her name onto the underside of her forearm, it has long scarred to forever remind her of her name. Missy keeps part of her face covered up using a surgical mask. Under it is a hideous scar and deformity on her mouth because of a misuse of her power. It makes her look quite monstrous. One of the strangest features on her body has got to be her spine... It's exposed to the world, and well prehensile like a monkey's tail. It's located a few inches above her waist, and is easily six feet long. This spine moves quite strangely, like it's a scorpion tail. Finally, Missy has double joints, and it's quite obvious from the way her knees, shoulders, and elbows are shaped. You could see Missy preforming some inhuman feats of agility and movement. All of these mutations and deformities are obscured by Missy's choice of heavy, obscuring clothing. Missy's quite tall for a girl her age, she's 5'8ft, and weighs 92 lb. Missy is a Caucasian girl, and going from her facial features, she's obviously European. Likely Danish. Her skin is rather pale as it's been mentioned before. Far from anything healthy. If it wasn't for her rather freakish features, she could be called an attractive girl. Her facial features are strong, and bulky. She has a pronounced nose that's very pointy and triangle shaped. Her nose-bridge is very thin in comparison with the rest of her nose. Missy has a thick, near androgynous, jawline, with a blocky chin. Her ears are large and very rounded, however, most of the time they're obscured by her hair. Her lips are thick and full, though, she has a thicker lower lip than a top lip, both of her lips have a scar stretching across them. Missy's forehead is quite large, in terms of both height and width. Like her ears, it's obscured by her hair, so it doesn't look that large. Missy's eyes are large and pronounced, she has blue irises. Much like other Danish girls, Missy's hair is a light-brown color. It's straight, but not the cleanest or best looking hair. She has her hair styled as a messy bun. It's not perfect, or it used to be, so thick, messy, strands of hair hang down from it onto the rest of her head. [b]Attire:[/b] In an attempt to appear as normal as possible, Missy wears heavy, obscuring clothing that covers up as much of her flesh as possible. She'll wear coats, jackets, long pants, gloves, etc, etc. The usual. The most notable part of her outfit is that she's always walking around wearing a surgical mask. It makes her stand out, but it keeps her from looking like a freak. Thus, Missy looks like a normal girl. However, if Missy gets into a fight, she'll drop all of her outer clothing and will be seen wearing a lighter outfit that shows plenty of her skin. A sports bra and shorts. However, her body makes her far from eye-candy. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] Missy is quite a dark human being. She is very unsocial to the point of ineptitude, cynical, jaded, and is insanely untrusting of other people. Preferring to keep to herself. She has a dark, snarky, sense of humor - Joking about even the most grim things. She constantly makes snarky comments whenever someone fails, and gets irritated quite fast. Beneath her surface, people who's gotten to know her have learned that she is nicer than she looks. Compassionate, humble, caring, and loves to have fun. She wants real friends. Personally, she just wants to be normal, and have the childhood that she missed. Though, she can come off as immature, for wanting to indulged herself with toys. Missy is also desperate to prove to the world that she's a good person, and not a monster. She would go to near-suicidal lengths to help people. Though, Missy is quite the berserker. She harbors a grudge like no other against the ACPD, and wants revenge against every single member of the group. he tends to break out into fits of anger if she's pushed far enough. The kind of angry which will cause her to viciously lash out against the cause until it's twenty different kinds of dead. Missy also has Hedonophobia, a fear of physical pleasures. It's rather associated with guilt, than fear. Because of this, she's asexual. However, she's not aromantic, she is fine with engaging in non-sexual romance with either gender. Though, she doesn't have a good perception of romance to begin with. [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] Missy enjoys peaceful, beautiful, or cute things. Such as dogs or flowers. She also likes to daydream and indulge herself in nostalgic memories - As her memories are way better than her current life. [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] Missy doesn't have too many skills. But when she was in school, she was a champion gymnast. Making her exceptionally agile. This comes with being quick on her feet. She's also exceptionally stealthy, mixing her ability with her natural skills. Missy knows how to play the harp well. Though, she's not one for performances. [b]Prized Possession:[/b] A few toys that Missy keeps hidden away. [b]Quote(s):[/b] "Stay... Away!" [b]History/Bio:[/b] It's dark and tragic. It involves exceptional abuse from the ACPD. [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power:[/b] Missy has a limited form of biokinesis, except it has something to do with her body. The powers are ordered from strongest to weakest. [i]Bone Manipulation.[/i] This is Missy's main ability as it's easily her strongest. Missy can manipulate her own bone in several different fashions. She can grow, shape, and alter the density, of bone. This allows her to do quite a few things. The most obvious application would be bursting bones out of her skin to create weapons. The less obvious uses would be hardening her skeleton to become much resistant to damage, or enhancing her body (Double joints, make her bones hollow, or repairing them). Missy can quickly repair broken bones by manually repairing them. Missy can manipulate her own bones, and the bones of others. In order to manipulate the bones of other she has to attach her prehensile spine to exposed bone to control them. She can do some rather vicious things to people using that method. [i]Flesh Manipulation.[/i] Missy can control her own soft-tissue, however she can better control the outer layers of flesh (Skin is what she's best at manipulating) better than deep down flesh. She can do the same things that she can do with her bone manipulation here, except with a little more variety. She can shape, and grow her skin, in addition to being able to alter texture, color, smoothness, density, sensitivity, etc. One trick she learned how to do is give herself "enhanced touch". An exceptionally good sense of touch. This gives her a seismic sense. Giving her the ability to sense vibrations through solids and liquids. She can even sense air-pressure changes [i]Blood Manipulation.[/i] The weakest of Missy's ability is the ability to control her own blood. It's no where near as powerful as her Bone or Flesh Manipulation. She can telekinetically control blood. Either her own, or blood that's been exposed to the air. She lacks the fancy tricks of her previous two abilities, but she can do stuff like force wounds to scab, or stop blood flow in parts of her body. [i]Regeneration.[/i] Missy's last ability is a passive usage. She possess regeneration like Wolverine. As in her wounds heal quite fast. A knife wound will close up in a few minutes, while getting a limb blown off will take a few days to regrow. This keeps her in the fight much longer. [b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] A myriad, actually. Missy's main ability is her strongest, but it's also the most damaging. Making bones burst through her skin is quite painful, and causes internal wounds as well. She must be careful not to damage anything important when she makes alters her skeleton. Altering her flesh too much wears down it's properties, and makes it much more susceptible to all forms of damage. It's make her skin like paper. Increasing her skin's sensitivity can be painful, even a needle dropping on her could be hell. Her blood manipulation is her weakest ability, and she doesn't have the special tricks. She also has a limited supply of blood, so she'll run the risk of bleeding to death if she goes too far. Not being careful with her power in general can easily kill her. Her regeneration kicks her metabolism into overdrive and expends resources, requiring her to eat, sleep and drink much more often. [b][u]Other:[/u][/b][/hider]
