[hider=Michelle Brianna Gallus][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [INDENT][i]Michelle Brianna Gallus[/i][/INDENT] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [INDENT][i]Agent Gallus, Scary Monster, Amazon.[/i] Callsign: Bestial[i][/i][/INDENT] [b]Gender:[/b] [INDENT]Female[/INDENT] [b]Age:[/b] [INDENT]28[/INDENT] [b]Height:[/b] [INDENT]7'3ft[/INDENT] [b]Weight:[/b] [INDENT]353lb[/INDENT] [b]Home District:[/b] [INDENT]She owns an Apartment in the Knightdale Rows[/INDENT] [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] [INDENT]Black[/INDENT] [b]Eye Color:[/b] [INDENT]Dark-Brown[/INDENT] [b]Ethnicity:[/b] [INDENT]African-American[/INDENT] [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] [INDENT]A true giantess for a twenty-eight year old. Michelle practically breaths confidence and flaunts her strength with practically every step. Michelle doesn't exactly fit the ideal image of a female girl. She leans a bit on male than proper female. Tall, has broad shoulders, thick bones that accentuate her feminine figures. That isn't to say that she isn't devoid of any feminine grace, it's more of the fact that she hasn't exactly embraced it. What swings her back the other way is her rather large breasts, and her blatantly feminine face. Michelle is kept in shape from physical activity. She does have some muscle-tone on her flesh, not enough to call her a bodybuilder, but enough to accentuate her figure. However, she's not exactly one to show it. She's built strong, and appears far from fragile. Amazon-like would be the more accurate term since she's 7'3ft, towering over even males, weighing more than three hundred pounds. She towers above other girls and some boys too. Most of this height comes from her power, not genetics or anything like that. Generally intimidating to most males with her size. Her frame has to be rectangle-shaped, lacking the idealized hour-glass figure. She doesn't have the idealized long legs, her legs are quite proportionate to the rest of her body. She has rather large feet, and strong earth-hands, that lack that delicacy. Michelle is African-American, with roots coming from Uganda, and her skin is a brown color. Her skull shape and facial features also do much to tell about her ethnicity. Her skin is a very dark shade of brown, for a comparison you could say that her skin is a chocolate color. Coated with plenty of scars due to sports, fights, and other things. There are also plenty of signs Michelle has been fighting animals of various types. On her arms and legs there are bite marks. Michelle has a hideous three-point claw scar on her face starting under her right eye, and going down her neck to her chest. There's a large birthmark on her right cheek, that takes a round shape. Another birthmark is on the side of her forehead. Michelle possesses a large, diamond-shaped head, with sharp and pronounced facial features. She has a square, rather strong, jaw that looks more on place on a boy. It comes with a large square chin that blends into her jawline quite well, giving Michelle a bit of a "lantern jaw". She has a large, droopy-shaped, nose that is generally round, and as the name suggests, droops downward somewhat. It's also quite wide with large nostrils. It's far from disproportionate compared to her rather large lips. Michelle has narrow, large, crescent-shaped ears. Michelle's eyes are round, and have an almond-ish shape to them. They are a dark-brown color. Michelle's hair is straight, and has an afro-texture to it. Her hair is back, and tied up into dreadlocks that are tied up into a pony-tail.[/INDENT] [b]Attire:[/b] [INDENT]Michelle prefers to dress up in loose clothes that don't stick to her form too much. She generally tends to wear clothing a few sizes larger than her actual size. It's mostly for comfort, and to keep herself covered up. Since Michelle is a girl more used to the warmer parts of America, Michelle tends to wear clothes appropriate for such an environment. The kinds of clothes that don't have layers, and show enough skin that she doesn't overheat. Compared with how loose her clothes are, she tends to show a little bit of skin. Michelle isn't exactly in touch with style. Her style is a very modest, could even be called prudish, style. Ankle-length skirts, sweaters, jackets, and so on. However, that's pretty much it. Michelle doesn't wear clothes with decals and other decorations on it. Her outfits are pretty plain. Michelle is also not one to wear jewelry. Michelle's NEST uniform is more of a black wetsuit with the standard NEST uniform on top of it. The wetsuit is designed to accommodate any transformations she may go through. She also wears a black beret with a star on it it.[/INDENT] [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] [INDENT]Lacking somewhat in social graces and etiquette, Michelle makes up for it in confidence and pride. Certainly the eccentric type. Michelle is strong, confident, prideful, and often called strange. She uses her seemingly limitless confidence to carry her through her tasks. A directness that seems to be a bit more on place with males. She prides herself on her accomplishments, and is certainly one to show it. On the other hand, those could also be called her social weaknesses. Direct when subtly could work, lets her pride and confidence get the best of her, and prefers to do it her way. Social nuances and subtleties go over her head at times. When around others, Michelle's aforementioned traits become more pronounced. She can handle herself around others, though, she isn't exactly the type to lead a conversation. She tends to stumble when it comes to conversation topics. Extended conversations tend to make her very uncomfortable. Meeting new people, Michelle treats everyone as an equal. She tries her best, and sometimes it's enough to befriend people. Even though she doesn't exactly make too many friends. One thing that people are quick to note is that she doesn't have any close friends. She always seems to keep them at arm's length. Never letting them know too much about her, or get too comfy. However, she also tends to keep her amount of friends to a minimal. Michelle's a realist. Her grip on reality is firm and she sees things for what they are. She's certainly a girl that knows what must really be done to make the world a better place. A trait that puts her at odds with idealists. She's quick to put an idealist, even if it causes unnecessary conflict, or puts her at odds with other people. Another problem she has is that she's brutally honest. She'll say the whole truth, and outrights avoids sugarcoating anything. Michelle could be called a wild-woman. She likes to spend a great deal of her free time in the woods and exploring other dark places. It's a crutch for when stress starts getting to her. Spending some time in a dark forest alone certainly is refreshing. Sometimes she never leaves for hours before reverting back to her usual self. Michelle has a very strong sense of justice and honor. She doesn't approve of hurting people weaker than her or innocents. However, she is also a strong believer of "an eye for an eye". She's quick to try to get revenge on other people that have wronged her, or her friends. Going off of that, Michelle is quick to retaliate. She'll always fight back. Because in her eyes, if she let herself get stepped on once, she'll be stepped on forever. So she'll be quick to stand off against someone. Even if backing off would be the more sensible option. She never takes anyone's shit. Period. Michelle is ambitious, and is constantly on the move. One thing she hates is stagnation. Whenever things get slow, or she gets the feeling as if she's not progressing, she gets rather gloomy. Michelle is quite playful, and sarcastic. She'll always take jabs at people at the first opportunity. To Michelle, actions and instinct come to her quicker than thinking. She'd rush in to help a friend that seems to be under attack rather than analyzing the situation for all possibilities (Or coming up with a plan). Her thought process is simply short term, and her planning is rare. As she's always believed in following her heart rather than her mind. Thus, when it comes to the leadership hierarchy, Michelle is better lead than followed. Unfortunately Michelle lacks some academic graces because her education stopped before high school. It's not saying she's completely dumb, she doesn't know a few things due to circumstance. It's one thing that she's really insecure about. Insulting her intelligence in anyway is a sure-fire way to get her angry. Michelle also has a deep seated anger within herself that stems from being rejected by her family at the drop of a hat. It's a mass of emotions that she managed to keep contained for a few years. That she sometimes takes out on the world, or alternatively, whoever chooses to pick on her. Michelle won't hesitate to beat someone to an inch of their life and call it "therapeutic". Which tends to get her in trouble. Another problem she has is that she's fierce. She will not hesitate to back up her talk with her fists. Though, she doesn't shit-talk or throw insults back and forth because those skills are rather lackluster. Through all the confidence and pride she is known for, Michelle has become quite sullen and withdrawn. Choosing to seclude herself at times rather than facing her emotions. That's the one thing Michelle fears, facing herself and seeing how ugly she's become. She blames it on her power, her family, everything but herself. Dodging it is far more feasible than facing it. Anything is. When alone, the question comes up more often than she'd like. Michelle also has a few fears. A crippling (and generic) Claustrophobia, a crippling fear of tight spaces. It's linked to her power, but Michelle also has Frigophobia, a fear of getting too cold. [/INDENT] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [INDENT]Michelle is a trained and certified Agent of NEST. She has been trained in hand-to-hand, how to operate weapons, and investigative skills. She has a few years of experience under her belt that helps. In her youth, Michelle played plenty of soccer, and was in the swimming team. She wasn't exemplary at it, but damn, she was good enough to get a name for herself in school. She hasn't really done either officially in years, however, so she's pretty rusty. The footwork and swimming abilities are more or less innate, so she still puts those to good use to this day. What is something that she's great at is her acrobatic training. You see, she spent a few years at a circus, performing some of the best shows of her life for others. Assisted by her power, Michelle is proud of how limber she has gotten. She can't, say, perform flips (Too big and heavy for that), but she can jump through flaming hoops and do the Cloud Swing. Depending on what form she has dictates what tricks she can do really, but she has plenty practiced. Though, she's not one for performances. It's something that assists her when she does her other activities. Wrestling is another skill Michelle has, taught to her by carnies. She uses her sheer size and weight alone to bring people down. Though, it hasn't exactly been a skill that she used in action. Yet. Michelle is also very familiar with the woods. With the help of her powers, she can navigate dense forests with ease. Along with hunting animals like a true apex predator. That said, she's also great at tracking. Assisted by her power again, her attention to detail is high.[/INDENT] [b]Prized Possession:[/b] [INDENT]Michelle prizes nothing, save for her freedom.[/INDENT] [b]Quote(s):[/b] [INDENT][i]"Damn you're whiny... mind talking less?" "If you don't move now, I'm going to seriously mess up that face of yours..."[/i][/INDENT] [b]History/Bio:[/b] [hider=Michelle Gallus's History][INDENT]Born as an only child in the nigh-tropical Floridan city of Key West, Michelle's early life up to her teen years were uneventful. She was a simple little girl living her life. Her parents were hard working people who slaved away in the offices to support her. Heat was something Michelle got used to as she grew up in what had to be a tropical paradise. She was pushed towards sports by her parents, whom truly wanted a son, but were willing to settle for a girl. It didn't matter to Michelle, since it was . Soccer, Baseball, and Swimming, were three sports that she had grown to love doing, and became pretty good at too. That skill was something that netted her plenty of friends. But it also made her fiercely competitive. Michelle was constantly finding her way into trouble, to her parent's dismay. Picking fights with people, or causing general mischief, Michelle found her situations to be quite amusing. Which meant she kept doing it because she thought it'd be fun. Again, causing problems that her parents had to solve. They disciplined Michelle, but they were simply too lax with their punishments to make any difference in her behavior. So there wasn't anyone to really stop her from exploring her growing masculine-side either. As her mother wasn't too solid of a strong female role model either. Things took a quick turn once she turned fifteen, in the middle of an incredibly awkward stage of her life (The dreaded puberty). Her power had awakened. Subtly at that. There was no traumatic event attached, it was merely developing all her life until it reached the point where it could be activated. It first manifested in a freak growth spurt that shot her height up from 5'3 to 5'8 in a short amount of time. Then it made her harder, better, faster, stronger, in... noticeable ways. The sports she played, the fights she won, she realized that she could do it much better now. Michelle was quickly realizing that she might be becoming a superhuman - and her parents caught on too. However, they were wrong in what they theorized Michelle had. What they thought was simple peak-human capabilities turned out to be something much more... beastly. And it awakened in one of the worst moments. Michelle was showering after a big basketball game with her team, Michelle got into a bit of a fight with another member of her team, over who was the better player. Michelle straight up socked her team mate... and unhinged her jaw with one punch. Michelle was freaked out about this freak display of strength, and everyone was screaming at her. NEST was called to deal with her and Michelle was captured. After (very awkwardly) clearing it up with NEST, Michelle was released. But, by then, the damage was already done. The world had known Michelle for the monster she had turned into. Her friends rejected her, no one would help her. Even her own family had turned her back on Michelle and cast her out on the streets with her clothes and some supplies. They didn't want anything to do with their monstrous child anymore. Cast out on the streets, Michelle literally had nothing to her name. Michelle left Key West and headed towards, well, anywhere that wasn't there. She was so broken by being forced to live on her own. Michelle stuck to the swamps and wooded areas. Living off the land to the best of her ability. This is where she experimented with the very power that got her in this situation in the first place. She tried to learn her limits and capabilities. She practiced this ability often as she could (there was a period afterwards where she had to take a break) and realized how strong she was. She stopped scrounging for foods and learned to hunt it herself. She became a wild-child, and honestly, she wouldn't have it any other way. Michelle stayed away from humanity, except for the few times she had to come back to get some new clothes. Michelle drifted from place to place for what had to be a year. Sticking close to the warmer parts of Florida. She drifted a little closely to a circus. She snuck in using her power to help and decided to watch the show. From there, she learned that the performers were certainly superhuman. Performing tricks for the thrills of themselves and others. However, Michelle didn't expect for one of the performers to be a telepath on the look out for people trying to steal a show like her. She was lectured by the woman, who threatened to call the police. Michelle dropped her entire story in some hope that the popo wouldn't get involved. The story had moved the woman, and Michelle's life was going to take another turn. The woman had offered to take Michelle under her wing at the local circus (Which was mostly comprised of superhumans), as the woman was looking for someone like her. Michelle would get food and a place to stay, but she had to learn how to perform acrobatics like the rest of them. She accepted the deal in a heartbeat, truly wanting a place where she belonged. From there, Michelle's training began. It wasn't exactly easy, the girl had to work hard. But as the months went by, it came to her. As a plus, Michelle got in plenty of practice with her power. As Michelle learned, she often went out into the woods for awhile to be the beast that felt so natural to her. Or when she was annoyed, angry, or depressed. It became her sanctuary, as nobody would go anywhere near there. In her spare time, Michelle had received some some Wrestling matches with the other carnies. It was strange, but Michelle learned how to use that strength of hers for some brutal takedowns. Along with relieving plenty of stress. In less than a year, Michelle had learned about acrobatics and became a regular performer in their acts. Life felt great. For a few years, Michelle worked as a Circus performer. Most of all, she became pretty close to her fellow carnies. Until she was around twenty did things change. Michelle began rather... disillusioned with the life of a carnie. It helped her perfect her ability, and now she wanted to help the world with it. The only way she knew how was to join NEST. It had been one of her aspirations for a long time. Michelle got in contact with the Florida branch of NEST, enlisted herself. They approved her into the organization. After a heartfelt goodbye, Michelle was sent to Verthaven to begin her training regime. It was long and hard, but Michelle fought her way through the segment until she was ready to be a NEST Agent. Michelle choose to stay in Verthaven... having taken a liking to the city, and serve as one of its Agents. For years, Michelle rose through the ranks until she achieved Captain. She's taken part in many operations, including keeping track of many of the Metahumans that inhabit Verthaven. Along with busting some of the worst Metahuman scumbags.

Michelle's powers grants her the power of the Beast, the mighty huntress of the night. A set of physical enhancements that make her a Superwoman, a true predator. Without any pronounced physical mutations... other than making her really fucking big. Michelle's powerset seems to be much closer to Reptiles rather than anything else. Alright, just to get started off, Michelle is very, very, strong - not to say hulk levels, but she isn't someone you want to take on up close. It comes naturally if you look like an Amazon, but it stems from her power. It's pure Beast-strength. She can bench press 2000 pounds easily. Enough to lift a car, and throw a punch that'll give whoever is in her way a bad time. The rest of her body is a lot tougher to boot. Her skin is thicker and harder to tear, with her bones being tough. Her body is durable enough to withstand the weight of what she can lift, and take blows that'd knock down any regular human. Actually, she's pretty resistant to physical blows. She can't stop a bullet, but she can certainly stop a full-force swing from a baseball bat from any baseline human. What supplements her toughness is the fact that she has a rather impressive healing factor. She can bounce back from wounds that'd kill a regular human being. That might just be her toughness, but yeah, she can recover from a stab wound in a day or two, a bullet wound in a week, and heal . She's also faster, but that probably comes with the strength. Michelle can run at least twenty-five mph consistently. That's pretty fast for the average standard. And what hunter would Michelle be if she didn't have enhanced senses? In the hearing, sight, and vision areas, Michelle has some enhancements. Her sense of smell has to be the most enhanced sense she has. She can track prey easily with her sense of smell. Oh yeah, she also has night-vision. As a few side abilities, Michelle can safely digest raw meat, and her digestive system has been enhanced to allow her to digest bone.[/indent] [list][*][i]Blood-Overdrive[/i] [indent]Now, blood has an interesting effect on Michelle. In the presence of spilled blood blood, all the above abilities will get amplified, and her body will be kicked into overdrive. [i]Primarily[/i] her strength, but her healing factor and senses will also improve by a longshot. Of course, this depends on how much blood has been split. At her peak, she can lift twice times as much, heal twice as fast, and smell better than bloodhounds. Along with her body undergoing some minor mutations, she will grow claws, her canines will grow sharpen, and her pupils will turn into silts. During this process, Michelle will be invigorated with energy (Even if she's exhausted, she'll be able to fight for longer), her body will ignore pain, and her metabolism will also kick into high-gear. Along with Michelle getting more aggressive, and bloodthirsty. Like a mother bear on steroids, and pumped up with enough testosterone to kill a bullshark.[/indent][/list] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [INDENT]Michelle's much, much, stronger than she is tough. If you realize what that means, then is very possible for her to break her hand with a full force punch, or break her joints by lifting up something that's too heavy. When Michelle uses her strength, then she has the likelihood of tearing up her bodily tissues. This weakness is amplified once she goes into blood overdrive, with her strength far outpacing her durability. At her actual peak, she can throw a punch that'll send someone flying, but it'll break her hand in the process. The Blood-Overdrive kicks her body into fast-mode... Unfortunately, that means she's at a high risk of having a heart attack. Especially at her peak. After the Blood-overdrive wears off, she'll be unconscious, in pain, and very tired for awhile. She'll have to rest for ages, or else she'll be at risk of ashing. Michelle has plenty of feral, predatory instincts that affect her even in the most casual situations. The more she gives into her beast (I.E: The Blood overdrive), the more and more she slips until she abandons all sentience and becomes a wild animal. Lashing out at the world. Which can be a problem. Michelle is pretty big and heavy... Which means she isn't the most agile out of all of them. Nor is her balance all that great. Along with the fact that she has to duck every time she walks through a door. >:([/INDENT] [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] [INDENT] Michelle has a severe latex allergy.
