[hider=Samantha "Lash" Allger][b]Name:[/b] [i]Samantha Lucille Allger[/i]
[b]Code-Name:[/b] Backlash
[b]Age:[/b] 25
[b]Gender:[/b] Vajayjay
[b]Danger Rank:[/b] 3
[b]Appearance:[/b] Due to Lash's power, she drastically changes in appearance quite often. So I'm going to describe her basics--- What is consistent about her, and what she looks like right now. Lash has a very rugged appearance. One of the first things that people tend to notice is her tom-boyish feel. She's about 5'11 which makes her above average in height, she has a lithe shape. Lash isn't too muscular, her strength is only shown when she's in physical activities like lifting objects and running. This said, Lash doesn't have a drop of body fat on her body. Of course during certain transformations her body. Lash has small eyes, which their color often changes to match her emotion. Fortunately they only change within the eye color spectrum. At the moment her eyes are bright green. Her hair is lush, long and thick. She gives it a rather unique style; most of the hair on the right side of her head is cut short like a boy, on the other side are five thick dreadlocks. These dreadlocks are so long that they go halfway down her back. Due to her powers, her hair color changes as well. Naturally it is black, other times it can be dirty blonde, or red. At the moment it's black colored.

Lash wholly appears Caucasian in terms of Ethnicity, she is actually mixed. Her father is American, and her Mother is Hispanic, Dominican to be exact. His skin is beige and would normally add on impression of her beauty, except it has it's fair share of scars, blemishes and tattoos. There are few notable scars on her being, other than the burn scar that rests on the shoulder of her right arm. This scar takes up her entire shoulder, and is extremely hideous. Which is one of the reasons why this scar is hidden by her attire. The next scar is on her face, and harder to hide. This scar is S-shaped and appeared to have been caused by a blade of sorts. It's not as bad as her burn scar, but still rather bad. Lash has several tattoos all over her body. The first tattoo is across her her right arm, it's black colored [i]HEAVENLY[/i] written in old English font, with fire integrated into it's design. The next tattoos is of the rather iconic image of Lady Justice across Lash's back, holding the scales (Holding Drugs, Alcohol and Holy Crosses) in one hand and Glock 17 Pistol in the other hand pointing it at the sky. The last notable tattoo she has is on the base of her neck, rarely seen depending on her outfit. It is of a simple Rose, colored black like her other tatttoos.

Lash's style is either very tough looking, or intentionally bland. It's depending on if she feels like being social or not. When she's in the social mood she usually dresses up to appear bad ass, or tough. Not over doing it, usually she'll wear a coat or a leather jacket (sometimes even an all leather outfit). Usually to give people an idea of what to expect from her. Other times when she's in a bad mood or just doesn't want to be bothered then she'll wear something so bland that it'll take notice off of her. Most of the time she'll wear hoodies hiding her features. When she does this she usually likes to "hide" in large crowds of people. Regardless of what she's wearing she tends to have her X26C Taser, and can of Pepper Spray stick out of her pocket.


[b]Personality:[/b] Not the most pleasant person on the planet. Lash is very logical and intelligent for her age. Just not the nicest person on the planet. She tends to get annoyed and aggravated very easily, and has rather a rather short temper. Most of the time she keeps it to herself--- Occasionally making a subtle jab at them and looking annoyed. She only keeps it to herself because she knows that it's better to not alienate everyone that annoys her in the slightest. However, when it becomes too much for her she will usually leave and probably avoid the person. Lash usually goes about her business alone. Not feeling the need to approach people unless she has good reason. If she is approached by anyone she'll do her best to keep the conversation going (even though she may sound rude if said person interrupted something). Even though it won't be too much of an exciting conversation since she's not too interesting at first. If someone can stand her for that long they may pick up that she's moody. Due to her power her emotions are susceptible to change. 

One thing that Lash does is try to keep a neutral emotional state at all times--- Often failing horribly when she's annoyed. Sometimes she just feels like her life is ran by her emotions and just feels hopeless. Lash can be manipulated by people if they take advantage of her emotions. Lash also has a small habit of categorizing people rather quickly. Nothing major, she'll judge people quickly, and she'll judge them according to criteria which have no bearing on their character, such as gender, ethnic background, or hairstyle. Nothing major, she'll keep this in her head. Lash tends to let go of things rather easily, if someone pisses her off and comes back a week later she'll try to put it aside. Lash also knows when it's time to put aside petty grudges, if it's for the greater good and it helps everyone's collective goals. She isn't exactly the most motivated person in the world: if something turns out to be hopeless then Lash would be the first person to drop out. Her sense of humor is heavily sarcastic or "smart-ass". She tends to make sarcastic jabs at people quite often. Most of the time she's just joking, but sometimes she crosses the line. Lash does know when she crosses the line (joking or otherwise). Naturally she does feel a bit of guilt as a result.

In terms of D&D Morality I would say that she's Lawful Neutral.


[b]Powers:[/b] Lash's power is essentially a mix of a shape-shifter, and an empath. She has powers related to her emotions and the emotions of others.*Lash's power goes into three paths: her main power, and two sub-powers. Her main power is what I'm going to call Empathetic Metamorphosis or Shifting. Essentially depending on her emotions will cause her appearance to change (drastically), and she'll acquire a power related to that emotion. The change of appearance and power she'll receive will heavily depend on the power she has. Positive emotions will give her better looks while weaker powers, and Negative emotions will make her ugly while it gives her much stronger powers. It depends on the intensity of the emotion, stronger emotions will cause her to change in appearance much quicker and give her stronger abilities consistent with that emotion. If she's going through one metamorphosis and changes emotion, then her powers and appearance will slowly shift towards that. If she has a apathetic/neutral emotional state then she'll remain in her current form. Her current appearance and power will remain the same as long as she maintains this emotion. When Lash shifts to a different emotion then small sparks will start to fly off her being of every color.


Below are the possible appearance changes and powers she'll get.

[b]Anger.[/b] Anger will cause Lash to start getting an incredibly gruff appearance. She'll grow larger in size and her muscles will get larger and well defined. Making her look like even the best body builders. Lash will start to get very ugly in this form and appear like a gruff man even at the most basic part of her transformation. Her skin will start to take a reddish tone. She'll get the power to emit a thick blood red gas out of her sweat pores. With one focused thought this gas will sort of "combust" giving anything that is touching it one very bad electric shock and will immediately dissipate. Anyone who breathes in this gas will get twice the shocking. Lash will also get small strength boost as well.

[b]Fear.[/b] Fear will cause Lash to get much taller and bony. Her skin will turn paler until it's paper-white. Her body will get slightly deformed as she'll appear to be just skin and bones. The power Lash will get the ability to become invisible and inaudible at will. Giving her the ability to sneak away from what's causing her fear.

[b]Love/Lust.[/b] Love will cause Lash to turn into a bombshell. She'll slowly transform into an incredibly attractive woman with a perfect hourglass figure and body. She'll get large breasts/butt, a perfect face and look sexually appealing. The power she'll get is that she'll be able to heal people's wounds (both physical and emotional) through physical acts of affection (Hugs, Kisses, etc). How much someone gets healed depends on how much she loves that person. It is possible for people to become addicted to her love.

[b]Happiness.[/b] Happiness will cause Lash to get a youthful, athletic appearance that is pleasing to the eyes. Her skin will revert back to a state where it has no imperfections or anything wrong with it. No scars, no tattoos, no moles or blemishes. Lash will be able to induce calmness and peacefulness in people by touching them. This will cause them to lose all forms of aggression. This power will only work on people who are feeling negative emotions.

[b]Sorrow/Grief.[/b] Sorrow/Grief will cause Lash to get a blue-ish tint to her skin. Her eye sockets will appear to be empty--- There will just be darkness in her empty eye-sockets. Lash will begin to look creepy and monstrous as she shifts into this form. As this emotion escalates tears will run down her eyes that act as an actual tear gas. These tears will emit a powerful gaseous chemical that will (painfully) sting every single orifice of those who are close enough. Causing them to cry like she has.

[b]Hatred.[/b] Hatred will cause Lash to take a bit more bestial appearance. Her entire eyes will turn paper white and her teeth will get sharper. Her nails will also start to grow sharper and needle-like. Her skin will take a blacker-tint as it starts to look rougher. Lash will be able to force anything she touches to rot. Anything organic will wither, rot and decay. While inorganic will start to break down or rust.

[b]Desire.[/b] Desire causes Lash to take a slim appearance with an hour-glass figure. Her skin will get much darker. She'll get more attractive appearance, not as attractive as her Love/Lust emotion. Lash will get the ability to project an illusion of what people desire the most. This illusion looks different depending on whoever looks at it. It's intangible and will be completely static.

[b]Nostalgia.[/b] Nostalgia will cause Lash to appear much younger than she is. Slowly reverting her appearance back towards her teenaged days. If she reaches a full metamorphosis then she'll appear exactly like she was when she was a child. Lash will get the ability to see a short vision of the past. Retro-cognition basically. She won't be able to see very far back--- She'll only be able to see back a few hours, or maybe a few minutes. 

[b]Courage.[/b] Courage will cause Lash to take on a valiant and glorious appearance. She'll become more attractive and muscular. Much like a princess (or something). Lash will get the ability to protect an invisible field around her that literally drains the fear out of people. As long as they're in her field they won't fear a thing. She also won't feel any fear as long as she has courage, making it impossible to metamorphose into fear unless he feels another emotion first.


The second ability that she has is Empathetic Smell. It's a version of emotion reading/detection. Except she uses her smell to detect these emotions. Emotions are like an odor that people give off, good emotions smell good, while bad emotions have an odor. Each emotion has it's own smell that she's learned to somewhat tell apart. The thing is that she can only properly smell an emotion up close. Otherwise the emotion has to be strong for her to detect it and track it from distances. However, she can be overloaded with too many smells if she's in a large crowd of people. Which is why she tends to wear nose plugs to alleviate this.

Lash's third and last ability is Empathetic Imprint. She can leave an emotional imprint on any object that she touches. Whoever touches this object will feel the emotion that Lash "infects" it with. This can be any emotion that she thinks of. It isn't instant though, it takes a few minutes for the victim's emotions to escalate. The reason why I choose this power out of everything she could do is because it was easily her most useful ability (and the only one that was really used). The imprint would ware off after thirty minutes, and all the victim has to do is let go of the object to return to their original emotional state. There's also no "I can't let go of this" mind control bullshit. It's easy for people who know of her ability to resist it, because it's not exactly a subtle change in emotions. Lash can only infect one object at a time, she'll have to wait for the previous imprint to wear off before she imprints another object.

Lash can only metamorphose into one form at a time. Her biggest weakness is that she can't control her metamorphosis, nor does she understand it. In order for her to control the metamorphosis she would have to learn how to control her emotions completely. Which is rather difficult since her powers had made her more susceptible to changes in her emotional state. Because of this it's difficult (if not impossible) for her to achieve a complete metamorphosis. She's also weak against telepaths and other meta-human's whose powers relate to the mind. For reasons I'm not going to explain; she has literally no "mental barriers" because of her power. Powers that enter her mind cause her great pain, and can cause her to emotionally crack. Telepathic powers also disrupt her existing powers, meaning while a telepath is messing with her head, she'll be cut off from all her powers, and will remain in her current form. Because of her ability to smell emotions--- that sense can be overloaded with senses if there's too many people around, causing her great discomfort and even pain. The same would apply if there's too many strong emotions around. Finally, Lash doesn't have much skill in any of the abilities that she gets when she's metamorphosing. She knows how some of them work. That's just about it.[/hider]
