Name:
Phaidra “Phai” Colllins
Persona:
Variant
Appearance:
Age:
19
Archetype:
Gifted
Power set:
(1)Self-Gravity Manipulation:
Phai can manipulate her own gravitation in one of three ways at a time; reduced, increased, or directionally altered. When she alters her own gravitation it remains in that state for roughly 20 minutes, with an additional five minutes tacked onto the end where she slowly readjusts to normal gravity.
(1)Spheres of Altered Gravity:
Phai can create a small sphere of about 5 cubic feet wherein gravity is altered in one of three ways; directionally altered, reduced, or increased. If she choses not to manipulate her own gravitational field she can create two spheres or create one sphere of about 10 cubic feet. Once created the spheres remain in place for about an hour, after which Phai cannot create another new sphere for about 30 minutes.
Power weaknesses:
Conscious thought: Phai’s hold on gravity disappears when she is no longer fully conscious.
Flipping & Locking: When Phai is tired from overusing her powers if she loses focus- usually due to fear or mind altering substances, her gravitational powers do what she refers to as a flip and lock. When this occurs any Sphere she has created disappears and her own gravity field goes out of whack, flipping to the opposite of whatever state it was in before an increasing in magnitude. If she was reducing to gain buoyancy it increases and she gets stuck to the floor, if she was increasing to hold her ground she starts to float away. To make matters worse, when this happens the affect locks and she remains in the new gravitational state until she passes out.
Origin Story:
Phai is the most recent in a long line of gravitational manipulation supers. Super villains. Her dad went bad when her mom was killed in the crossfire of a hero vs. villain brawl, her grandmother went bad when funds got too tight and nobody wanted to hire her, and her great-grandfather was by all accounts just naturally a dick. Death, destruction, and hilarious failures is the legacy of her family. Great grandpa sucked a small town into a black hole and then forgot to turn it off before gloating over it to the superhero he was fighting and sucked himself into it as well; ending the destruction with his death. Grandma Amoret had stolen a valuable good from a city in each state and was going strong till she mixed up her marks, tried to rob a super genius, and was rocketed into outer space. Phai’s dad did what every gravity manipulator dreams of and managed to find a way to maintain his alterations when unconscious. From there he went onto terrorize the countryside, finding supers and trapping them in permanent inescapable spheres of altered gravity. For about a day. Then, overjoyed with his success, he got drunk, got attacked, flipped and locked. Now he’s locked up in a top notch prison in Mercury City stuck floating in a constant state of reduced gravity.
Honestly, Phai couldn’t be happier that her dad’s in jail. For one thing, it keeps him out of trouble and it means that she can see him regularly- During visitation hours once a month when she has the cash to catch a bus to Mercury. Plus she’s not on board with the whole villain thing, because to her it doesn’t make sense. Not only has it never ended well, it just doesn’t feel good. For the sake of continuation of the species humans evolved to be altruistic towards one another, so doing good feels good. Which is what Phai tells people who want to know what the goth girl from a family of supers is doing trying to be a hero.
Phai’s dad got locked up when she was twelve, back when she hadn’t yet developed the family talent. She went to live with her non-powered aunt and uncle and her fourteen year old twin cousins Mark and Peter. Her Cousins developed their powers when they were seventeen and promptly ran away, with the full approval of their parents, to pursue super villainy. Phai developed hers the next year, when she was sixteen, on an unfortunately bad day. Full of stress and lacking any understanding of how her powers worked she flipped and locked into reduction on her first day while she was outside. Coming from a long line of evil murderers and thieves doesn’t really give anyone the inclination to help you out and Phai was left to drift towards space for hours as she tried desperately, and unsuccessfully, to knock herself out before she got too high. Luckily for Phai, after she conked out due to lack of Oxegyn and started to plummet back to earth a B-list super who was trying to get the hang of flight came by and rescued her from the fall. She went by the super name Phantasma and Phai was absolutely enamored with her.
Phantasma agreed to take Phai on as sidekick, much to the disappointment of her Aunt and Uncle. The year she spent with Phantasma was the best of Phai’s life. Sure she wasn’t the best sidekick, but she always did the right thing and she tried hard. Then she got distracted, made the wrong sphere when trying to stop a bullet and got Phantasma killed. What followed was an onerous couple of months of trials, which ended when her cousins, now going by the names Condense & Augment, showed up in town, and all charges and accusations of murder were mysteriously dropped. Her cousins expected her to give up the hero thing after that and join them, but she disagreed. That said, she could no more hurt her cousins, for moral reasons as well as the simple fact that they are far better at controlling their powers than her, than they could hurt her, their baby cousin/ adopted sister who they’d always looked out for. They agreed on a solution to the predicament, they split cities. Phai got Dodgeville and her Cousins got Mercury. Phai could visit Mercury to see her dad once a month, provided she didn’t go out of her way to try and do well while she was there, and her cousins could visit Dodgeville to see their parents once a month provided they didn’t go out of their way to commit crimes while they were there.
These days Phai is kind of a neighborhood hero, trying to do the best she can to help out locally despite the fact that no one on either side of the law wants anything to do with her. The Slight Heroics team is a dream come true for Phai, who is happy to have been recruited for a legitimate organization even if it was because of just how unlikely it is that she’ll be a successful hero.

Apartment Number:
2A
Major:
Undecided
In Depth Appearance:
At 6’1 and 162 lb wet Feliks is a bit of beanpole. One might describe his skin as porcelain, or just plain pasty. He has brown eyes and brown hair- which is meticulously styled to look effortless. Five fingers,five toes, he does deviate slightly from the standard human in that he has a tattoo… of a butterfly… on his lower back.
Tell no one.
It’s pretty rare for Feliks to get a chance to dress in accordance with his own style. If he could he’d always wear jeans, a funky tee shirt, and a cool jacket- with the possible addition of a choker necklace. But most of the time he has places to be and things to do and he picks his outfits based on what he needs to look like to get paid, or sneak into an event. So though he loves his bold graphics, he usually ends up in a versatile black v-neck as he flits from one job to another.

Personality:
♦ Bold♦ Insensitive ♦ Perceptive♦ Risk Prone ♦
It’s hard not to notice Feliks. The guy is like a whirlwind in human form. He loathes inactivity, and this coupled with inhibitions that are few and far between leads to some wild adventures. Also some fun times in the emergency room, but all’s well that ends well! Long term isn’t Feliks’ strong suit. If you need someone who is going to take action and solve a problem, he’s your man. But if you want someone who can focus on the bigger picture, or debate abstract concepts, he is not your man. He has abundance of street smarts, but his intelligence doesn’t translate well to the classroom. Nor does his abhorrence of strict scheduling and social hierarchies.
Feliks is the go to if you want to know where to go for a good time. He is very sociable, and is always willing to show a friend some new ways to have fun. He is incredibly perceptive, and takes note of the smallest details about a person. But, he’s not the best at using the information he gleans. He is blunt, honest, and doesn’t deal well with intense emotions. Tiptoeing around the issue is not something he is capable of. He’s also prone to teasing and sarcasm, which some find amusing and other find annoying. Feliks can befriend a room full of strangers in ten minutes, but it takes him far longer than most people to form a close bond with someone. For someone whose emotions always seem to run hot he is remarkably inept at handling or communicating them.

History:
Feliks’ parents are traditionalists in every sense of the word. As a child he was unruly and unmanageable. It was recommended that he be tested for ADHD but his parents didn’t believe in the concept, and chose not to medicate him. A choice for which he is incredibly grateful. His parents own and run a large farm in southern Nebraska where he grew up. Feliks has five siblings, two older and three younger. Their small clan was well renowned for stirring the pot and getting into trouble. Feliks broke his arm 3 times by the time he was twelve, sprained his wrist 5 times, and broke his leg once. He exasperated his parents, and they fought frequently- from the moment he learned first to talk all the way up to present day. But, it wasn’t too serious and they made up quickly.
Then high school happened. Feliks got by fine grade wise in middle school. But in high school natural IQ couldn’t make up for a lack of hard work and an attention span worse than that of a gold fish. His grades had tanked by the end of the semester freshmen year. Suddenly, fights with his folks were more serious, and didn’t reach a conclusion quite so quickly. Feliks found solace outside his family. He made and dropped friends and girlfriends quickly. When he got his drivers license he used it to excess. He would terrify his family by disappearing for entire weekends with the car and coming back with stories of cities across the country. Their relationship only grew more strained.
At 17 Feliks kissed a guy for the first time. Several trips to queer social events later he chose pansexual as his go to label. He didn’t tell his folks. After high school Feliks, much to his dismay, ended up at not so great college in california. To please his parents, he started off trying to study engineering. But that didn’t last long, and he is currently undecided. College only served to make him more independent, and at the start of his junior year he decided to tell his parents that he’s queer. It didn’t go well, and now he’s working a bunch of random jobs and contemplating what he should do when his last paid for semester of college ends. His friends don’t know, and Feliks isn’t inclined to share. He isn’t hiding it from them, he just doesn’t feel the need to seek solace.
