She was born in the central American country, and each of her features reflects that. Her facial features are distinctly Spanish, and her skin-tone is a light brown color - the latter being the first sign of her ethnicity. Lucia has long, wavy, hair, that goes all the way down to her back. Her hair is a, rich, chocolate-brown color, and it is, surprisingly, very well maintained and is easily the most striking part of Lucia's appearance. The way her hair sways with every footstep of hers. Most interestingly about Lucia's body - that you'd need to be Sherlock Holmes to notice - is that there isn't a single mark on her body. She is completely devoid of scars, moles, or any marks of the sort. She has the skin that supermodels have to have photo-shopped out. Because of her power, her health is clearly in perfect condition. Lucia's build is quite thin, but she's very well-built for her age. She isn't muscular, but she participates in plenty of physical activities to keep herself in shape. Yoga being one of them. Lucia ain't super tall, she's actually below average. She stands at five-three, and her body-mass is considerably low for someone her age. However, the feminine charms that she's sporting are quite impressive. She isn't packing much backdoors, but her chest size is an impressive 36DDD bra. All natural. Lucia's eyes are almond shaped, wide, and are a brown color. Strangely enough, Lucia has one oddity about her. Her right arm. It's usually kept wrapped up in bandages as if it has been injured. She keeps her arm wrapped up tight enough so that it's hidden, but loose enough so that she can actually move it around. To the outside observer, it's almost like it hasn't been injured to begin with. Which is true, and false. It has been injured... to the point where her arm's been removed. What came back was something that Lucia is desperate to keep hidden from the world. It's the limb of an abomination. Lucia's right arm is now a black exoskeleton reminiscent of a bug - but far worse. It appears to be muscles twisted over and wrapped around her arm. What's worse is the fact that the arm has [i]eyes[/i] scattered about the arm, and these eyes are completely human. No weird mutations, or anything. Exact copies of Lucia's brown eyes. Lucia's fingertips end in very sharp claws.[/indent] [hr] [u][b][color=Orchid]Powers:[/color][/b][/u] [i]Regenerative-Factor.[/i] [indent]Lucia possesses a regenerative factor that keeps the girl in tip-top shape. Whenever she receives any form of damage, her body quickly repairs, or replaces, the damaged tissue. Which means her body is kept in tip-top condition at all times. It isn't an instant regeneration that'd put her on par with the likes of Wolverine, but she's able to survive and recover from things no human being should be able to. Superficial wounds (Like scratches, micro-fractures, etc) will be gone in a few seconds. Deeper wounds (Like a stab wound, gunshot, etc) would be gone in an hour at most. A broken bone would be completely healed in a few days. The most that Lucia is able to regenerate is an entire limb, and that takes months. All without a mark. Which means Lucia's body is without a scar, or scratch, regardless of what damage she receives. This regenerative-factor also comes with a resilience - no not [i]resistance[/i], but it's more of Lucia's ability to survive damage. She is capable of surviving mostly anything that doesn't kill her instantly, and give her the chance to regenerate. People quickly find out that Lucia just. Won't. [i]Fucking.[/i] Die. All these abilities also come with a delayed aging (Lucia's aging has been cut in half since the moment she manifested a superpower), and an incredibly strengthened immune system (Lucia is very resistant to diseases, toxins, poisons, etc).[/indent] [i]Regeneration-Based Transformation.[/i] [indent]However, Lucia's power comes with a price. Since the moment that Lucia manifested her superpower, she's been slowly transforming into an eldritch monstrosity. It's been so slow that she barely would have transformed by the time she expires. [i]However,[/i] with each regeneration, Lucia inches closer and closer to transforming into a monster. Small regeneration would barely affect her, but worse wounds would cause the process to speed up a bit. Losing an entire limb (As Lucia learned) caused it to come back as an inhuman limb that belongs on an Alien. By the time Lucia reaches her very peak, she'd be a massive, super-powerful, abomination. However, she most likely won't be reaching that stage until the very end of the RP, and her goal is stopping it at any cost. Now, this Abomination form will give Lucia a black look, like an exoskeleton. With long, slimy, tentacles that Lucia can control like an extension of her body. Her body will also grow extra eyes (And these will be exact copies of her [i]human[/i] eyes). This beast would be tall, and horrific. She'll gradually shift into this form as the RP goes along.[/indent] [i]Abomination-Fist.[/i] [indent]This is the current extent of Lucia's mutation (Look at her appearance section to learn how her fist looks). A horrible, fleshy, mass. Tipped with claws, and it allows her to exert much more strength than a girl her size should be able to. It allows her to easily lift up three-hundred pounds, and it's durable enough to sustain this weight without even the slightest micro-fracture. It's also coated with fully functional eyeballs that give Lucia a greater eye-range (However, she can't see things perfectly through these eyes, it's more about seeing things that are closer). However, her regenerative factor doesn't extend to this arm that well, and wounds take longer to heal than average.[/indent] [u][b][color=Orchid]Weaknesses/Limitations:[/color][/b][/u] [indent]Regeneration is [i]painful[/i]. The process of forcing her body to heal can be quite taxing on Lucia's body. It hurts worse than the wound would normally hurt. This could possibly incapacitate her (or at least knock her unconscious). I should also note that it doesn't make her immortal, at all. Just really hard to kill. If you can hit with an attack that'd kill her instantly - say a gunshot to the brain or chest - then she'll be dead before she even has a chance to heal. Now, concerning her gradual mutation, this counts as a drawback as Lucia desperately wants to avoid turning into this monster. As her transformation continues, her sanity will begin to fade until there is nothing left of it. It will cause her to go to any length to stop it. This form also has a few weaknesses and drawbacks of it's own. The first and foremost weakness is that it's very weak against heat/fire (And energy based attacks for that matter). Her skin will be coated with a very flammable flesh, that will catch flame and burn like a bitch. And Lucia can't heal fire-based damage all that well. The other thing I should note is more of a trade-off, as her mutation progresses, her regeneration will gradually begin to weaken until it's merely slightly-above average. She'll be very strong and durable, but won't be able to regenerate as fast as she used to. On the flipside, her transformation will come to a steady halt![/indent] [hr] [u][b][color=Orchid]Personality:[/color][/b][/u] [indent]In this bleak, unforgiving world, Lucia attempts to be a good person. The kind of person who reaches out to other people to lend a helping hand when they need it. Lucia is a kind, noble, soul that is quite down to earth. Despite the last few sentences, she is no idealist, she's more of a realist. She attempts to be a good person, but doesn't divulge into silly idealism like redemption, or saving everyone. Lucia tries to be the woman that does her part, and help people she can. Though, the reason why I said "attempts" because she can unintentionally come off as quite... narrow-minded. In a situation where she has to choose between helping her friends/family at the cost of other people, she'd sure as hell go for that goal. Though, this noble attitude is mostly in response to the fact that she's transforming into a monster. She's desperate to hold onto what little humanity that she has left. That desperation is overwhelmed by the fact that Lucia wants to find some way to stop/reverse her mutation. She's willing to go to any length to stop her transformation into a monster. Which is why she doesn't really mind being sent to the equivalent of a modern-day concentration camp - because she's more worried about not losing what little left of her humanity she has. The more she changes... the less sanity she'll have left.[/indent] [u][b][color=Orchid]Backstory:[/color][/b][/u] [indent]Lucia was born in District 2, located in Mexico (Or Central-America). Fortunately, she was born to a middleclass family, the first daughter of three. Being the oldest sister of one brother, and two sisters armed Lucia with a distinct big sister instinct. A nurturing side of her that flourished when she was younger, and had to take care of them. While the world was cruel, she tried to have the semblance of a normal life, and tried her best living under the near-tyrannical NWO. She went through school, lived her life, made plenty of friends since she was pretty enough to attract them. However, her life changed for the worse during a tragic car accident. Her father crashed head on with a 18-Wheeler, and the crash badly injured Lucia. It caused her arm such traumatic harm that it had to be amputated. The incident shocked Lucia, and she fell into a great depression - hiding herself from the world. No amount of therapy could fix the loss... but something in the background did. The sheer trauma from losing her arm manifested in the form of a strong regenerative factor. She didn't notice it at first, but the smallest wounds instantly disappeared, and even every time she hit her foot, the damage was repaired. What she did realize was the fact that her arm was beginning to come back... and she realized that she was a genetic malfunction. She began to freak out, and realized that her simple life was over. Instead of trying to fight it, Lucia offered herself up for testing, and prepared to be a test subject - hoping that she'd just get treated as a second class citizen. However... testing proved that Lucia was beginning to fundamentally transform. ... Into a monster. All Lucia could feel was desperation and dread as she was hauled off to TEF-149.[/indent] [hr] [u][b][color=Orchid]Talents/Skills:[/color][/b][/u] [indent]Okay, I'm honestly at a loss as to what to put here. Let's just say she has no skills that can assist the story until I come up with something.[/indent] [u][b][color=Orchid]TL/DR:[/color][/b][/u] [indent]A slim Mexican teen with a regenerative factor that allows her to survive almost anything - at a price; she's turning into a monster. She's going to any length to save herself.[/indent] [/hider][/centre]
