[b][u]Othergrounds Version[/u][/b] [hider=Sylvia Bertoose][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [i]Sylvia Lana Bertoose[/i] [b]Nicknames:[/b] [i]The Dubstep Bomb, DJ Lana, Syl, Sylvie[/i] (she hates that name though) [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 15 [b]Height:[/b]  5'3 [b]Weight:[/b] 137 [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] Silver, naturally colored Black [b]Eye Color:[/b] Blue [b]Nationality:[/b] Italian/American [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Sylvia has a false sense of bad assery when most look at her. To get started Sylvia stands at less than average height with longer limbs compared to others with her height. She's usually thin and has a slight pot belly. It's hard to see under her choice in clothing. She doesn't have any visible muscles due to her lack of athletics. Her skin is slightly pale, and has very few scars on her. The only scale that's notable on her is the one on the back of her hand, which looks like a straight scar. Sylvia has a very rounded and heart shaped head. The top of her head is wide, compared to her chin which is thin. Sylvia has some rather full cheeks, which are the most apparent in the few times she smiles nowadays. She has an elongated nose, which is long, yet doesn't stick out too much outwardly. Generally hidden under her large sunglasses is her unnaturally large and creepy eyes. These eyes usually are blank and emotionless. They're extremely creepy. They are however a nice shade of blue like the ocean. This is why Sylvia likes to keep her sunglasses on at all times. She has full lips that are usually stuck out. Usually she has a blank or bored facial expression that breathes apathy. Sylvia has short, dyed, wavy hair. It's cut very short, and brushed over one of her eye lids. [b]Attire:[/b] Sylvia's style is generally reminiscent of punk or bad ass. Most of the time Sylvia tries to look just look like a bad ass in her fashion. Day to day her outfit changes. Generally, she wears various hoodies, and shorts for freedom of movement. Almost all the time she's seen with eyeball obscuring sunglasses. One thing she's never seen without is her massive pink headphones, attached to an iPod wire constantly. It's essential for her power. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward Personality:[/b] Sylvia can be rather impulsive and abrasive. She can be easy to tolerate if most are capable of withstanding her attitude. She's the kind of person who likes to act like she doesn't care to seem cool. She'll always look like she has something better to do when she does not. Sylvia will always try to be  level headed and not show emotion. Most of the time she fails, and at a joke she'll sometimes let out a small chuckle before going back to her serious composure. She tends to be ruthlessly sarcastic and will make fun out of anyone at even the slightest mistake or slip up. She's fond of cursing heavily, to the point where she just sounds like a ten year old away out of hearing range of a parent. Sylvia does have redeemable qualities. She does deeply care about the well being of those around her, and can be pleasant if some get around her attitude. Sylvia isn't very smart. [b]Hobbies/Skills:[/b] Sylvia is a natural born DJ, even at a young age she's capable of using DJ'ing equipment. She's also skilled in a few instruments (guitars, violins, pianos, etc). Her specialty is the Guitar--- She would have brought hers to the Othergrounds, but it was destroyed. For her age she also has a bit of knowledge of free running and can sprint pretty fast. [b]Favorite color:[/b] [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] Elemental/Super-System [b]Power:[/b] [i]Dubstep Bomb.[/i] Much like her previous incarnations; Sylvia has a power related to sound. Sylvia is the Dubstep bomb. Sylvia can absorb sounds into her body and re-project them at higher volume and force. This power is known as [i]Sound Re-projection[/i]. Usually this can be painful to the ears, and will only shake up the surrounding area a little bit. She mostly uses the songs in her iPod for use with this body. However, when she's presented with a song with a heavy bass, such as dubstep, the force of her ability will increase tenfold. Which is the actual Dubstep bomb. When she uses the bomb, it has the force to send people flying away, and cause extreme vibrations to the objects around her. Most objects will be obliterated downright and people will be injured. She can also focus this into focused and aim-able blasts. Which can seriously injure someone (and throw herself off her feet). The Dubstep bomb can also heavy damage to the environment around her, and can destroy buildings with ease. The focused blasts can effortlessly blow down walls, and mangle steel. These blasts are insanely loud. Guaranteed to give anyone without protection permanent hearing damage. These blasts are 210 decibels, louder than sonic booms. There's a small aura around Sylvia that negates any negative effects from the intense sound and vibrations--- Plus shields her from the Dubstep bomb so she doesn't crush herself. Which means she won't ever get hurt by a loud sound or intense vibrations, even from external sources. This extends to any objects that she's holding (which is why the iPod she uses for songs doesn't get obliterated). Sylvia's last ability is that she can "ride" sound waves. Allowing her both super speed and flight. Possibly at the same time. She can move at blinding speeds and fly anywhere possible using sound waves. It is possible for her to reach the speed of sound. However, there's no way to avoid her killing herself, when she does reach the speed.   [i]Sound Manipulation.[/i] While undergoing exploration with her ability, Sylvia has discovered her true power; the power to control and manipulate the Audio-Spectrum. Much like her previous incarnations, she has unlocked Sound Manipulation. Sylvia can alter sound at will to mimic, intensify, hush, and distort, as well warp, strengthen, echo, speed up, and slow down sound. She can easily do this just by thinking about changing the sound the way she wants to and focusing a bit. The usual, her specialty with this ability to change the volume of sound and mimic voices. She can use this power to turn heartbeats into footsteps, and make a needle dropping loud as a jet engine. Sylvia has quite a bit of versatility with this power, with a wide range of noncombat uses, in addition to everything she could to tear someone's hearing to pieces. When she uses Sound Manipulation, the air will get blurry around where she's using Sound Manipulation, which could make it obvious where she's using her power. This ability goes down several paths, with several more sub-abilities attached. All of which will be described here. Sylvia can generate sound waves out of anywhere on her body. A little bit like her dubstep bomb. She can create, literally, any sound. As long as there's people around to hear it; she can create her own songs, or even create voices out of thin air. She can do this the same way as Sound Manipulation, just by thinking about it. Which gives her quite a bit of potential in tricking people. Other than that; her sound wave generation is almost exactly like her regular sound manipulation. [i]Soundwave Vision.[/i] Next up is a support ability for her Sound Manipulation. Which will make it easier for her to control and alter sound. She can activate a special vision which allows her to see all Sound Waves in sight, and perceive them. And by perceive; I mean that if she looks at a sound hard enough, she'll be able to tell what exactly the sound is. She'll be able to see the sound waves of everything that's makes sound. Sound Waves appear as curved, wavy lines, that travel from the source, staying in place for a few minutes before disappearing. These waves are various colors, flashing brighter depending on how loud they are. Which can easily allow Sylvia to go track the source of the sound. Giving her enhanced tracking abilities. While this may have limited uses, it assists her greatly in Sound Manipulation, by helping her alter specific sounds. It also leads into another use of her Sound Manipulation. Which she can only use while using her Sound Vision. Now comes the fun part. Sylvia can alter Sound Waves at an even greater level, only with her Sound Vision. Giving her the ability to control where they exactly go. To explain; Sylvia can alter the path of sound. For example, she can make a sound go in a straight line, opposed to all around her, and only those in the sound wave's path can hear it. Sylvia can even cause sound to go in a loop. Potentially giving her the ability to use the loudest of attacks and no allies would have their hearing affected, and trick people with sound, or send messages that only those she wants to can hear. She can also control how far sound goes. Potentially making even the quietest of all sounds travel far enough to be heard from miles--- And vice-versa, you should get the picture by now. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] For her Sound Re-projection/Dubstep Bomb to work, she needs a constant source of sound. The best source of sound she has available would be music. Otherwise she won't be able to tap into her raw power source. She won't entirely powerless, as she can use the sounds that the body naturally emits. Sylvia is still affected by anything that'd normally effect sound such as the absence of air or sometimes air manipulation. Using her powers excessively in a short period of time has negative effects on Sylvia. Like she'll get really tired as if she was just running track at full speed, while rendering her temporarily mute/deaf. The more and more she uses her abilities, or if she decides to be careless and pushes it: She'll lose the ability to use her powers for hours on end, and will lose the ability to speak/hear. Oh yeah, Sylvia is also a girl that doesn't specialize in physical prowess. She's not strong and rather frail. Sylvia isn't very dangerous outside of her powers. [b]Burst Potential:[/b] Delta, Alpha and Omega [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Sylvia is the younger half-sister of Johnny.[/hider] [b][u]Academy 218 Version[/u][/b] [hider=Sylvia Bertoose][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [i]Sylvia Lana Bertoose[/i] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [i]DJ Lana, Syl, Sylvie[/i] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Height:[/b] 5'5 [b]Weight:[/b] 107 [b]Status:[/b] Returning Student [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] Dyed Silver, naturally black [b]Eye Color:[/b] Blue [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Italian-American [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Sylvia looks like a very youthful teen. She has a plain appearance more than anything, but people can call her pretty. With her heart shaped head and rather round and youthful facial features. The top of her head is wider than the bottom, with her chin being near pointy. She has rather fat and rounded cheeks, not to the point they're disproportionate to the rest of her face. Along with pointed ears, a small and angular chin, rather large and creepy blue eyes, and freckles plastering her face, she's not too bad looking. Sylvia's body isn't very intimidating, she's a small scrawny fuck that doesn't look like she has lifted anything heavy in her life. Her arms and legs are longer, and make up most of Sylvia's height. She has a slightly pale complexion, but nothing nobody would really notice. She has a few scars on her being, but they're centered around her kneecap area. Sylvia's expression is usually sleepy, or bored, or a cheeky smile. Sylvia's hair is dyed a bright, and pronounced, silver color. Her hair is straight, and usually kept very clean, it's kept in a long-straight style, and her hair is long enough to go down to her back. [b]Attire:[/b] Sylvia likes to dress herself like a stylish musician, or an artiste. Her styles tend to stand out from each other. One day she's dressing like a country singer, the next day she's gussied up like a rapper, and the next day, she's dressed up like a punk or a rave girl. That said, Sylvia isn't too picky when it comes to outfits, long as it looks good, and she stands out. Regardless of what she's wearing, Sylvia is constantly seen with an bass guitar on her back. This guitar has been painted (By herself) black and white. This guitar is very stylized with plenty of stickers and writings on it. Sometimes she's seen walking around with the case instead of it strapped around her back. Often enough, Sylvia is seen wearing pink Dre-Beats headphones over her ears with a wire attached to an iPod. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] Sylvia is a great example of a parent giving their child too much freedom. Very carefree, and fun loving, but at the same time, very rude, abrasive, impulsive and foul mouthed. Sylvia speaks with a crude attitude, constantly placing profanities into her speech, and hurling insults at people for fun. When Sylvia speaks, she wants to be heard, not ignored like the rest of the world. She tries to be the cool person in a pack, and tries rather hard to look the park. Sarcastic comments, forced nonchalance, and etc. She's rather arrogant, and just sees some people as below her - Once they're below her, they're not even worth her time. Usually, Sylvia carries herself with a surprising amount of nonchalance, she rarely gets angry, but when she does, shit gets heated. Sylvia handles confrontations with a surprising amount of nonchalance, she'll brush threats off like they're nothing, or ignore them entirely (Mocking them by humming a song). When she does fight, she fights using sheer overwhelming attacks and speed, not tactics or skill. She is quite impulsive, the moments where she actually thinks something through are rare. She makes fun of people and constantly make jabs at them for even the slightest failure or misstep. Sylvia is a fan of more illicit activities. She loves to drink alcohol, and loves to party with boys. Her love of alcohol is only second to her love of music. When someone brings up a kind of song she likes, she gets more energetic than a preteen on crack. Sylvia does warm up to people quite fast, and deep down, she does care about the well being of others. Which is why when they're in danger she'll be the first to go help them. [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] Music is like air to Sylvia. [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] Sylvia is a natural born DJ, even at a young age she's capable of using DJ'ing equipment. She's also skilled in a few instruments (guitars, violins, pianos, etc). Her specialty is the Guitar. For her age she also has a bit of knowledge of free running and can sprint pretty fast. Sylvia was also called a super good dancer. She also has an amazing singing voice. [b]Prized Possession:[/b] Her headphones. [b]Quote(s):[/b] [i]"Not my fault you're laaame. Begone!" "I like your line of thought," Sylvia says with a smug grin on her face. "There's probably a sex-crazed maniac out there who jacks off twelve times a day to animal-meta porn."

Much like her previous incarnations, she has Sound Manipulation. Sylvia can alter sound at will to mimic, intensify, hush, and distort, as well warp, strengthen, echo, speed up, and slow down sound. She can easily do this just by thinking about changing the sound the way she wants to and focusing a bit. The usual, her specialty with this ability to change the volume of sound and mimic voices. She can use this power to turn heartbeats into footsteps, and make a needle dropping loud as a jet engine. Sylvia has quite a bit of versatility with this power, with a wide range of noncombat uses, in addition to everything she could to tear someone's hearing to pieces. When she uses Sound Manipulation, the air will get blurry around the location where she's using Sound Manipulation, which could make it obvious where she's using her power. This ability goes down several paths, with several more sub-abilities attached. All of which will be described here. An ability Sylvia can learn is that she can generate sound waves out of anywhere on her body, she can create, literally, any sound. As long as there's people around to hear it; she can create her own songs, or even create voices out of thin air. She can do this the same way as Sound Manipulation, just by thinking about it. Which gives her quite a bit of potential in tricking people. Other than that; her sound wave generation is almost exactly like her regular sound manipulation. Another ability Sylvia can learn is basically a controlled form of enhanced hearing, she can turn this power on and off. She can enhance her hearing to god-like levels. Using her other abilities, she can filter out unwanted sounds and hear one specific sound. Sylvia has an invisible aura around herself that makes her immune to the negative effects of sound and vibrations. it is impossible for her hearing to be damaged no matter how loud she makes sound, and vibrations will never disorient her. This also extends to whatever items she has, and even other people if she can focus enough. [i]Soundwave Vision.[/i] Next up is a support ability for her Sound Manipulation. Which will make it easier for her to control and alter sound. She can activate a special vision which allows her to see all Sound Waves in sight, and perceive them. And by perceive; I mean that if she looks at a sound hard enough, she'll be able to tell what exactly the sound is. She'll be able to see the sound waves of everything that's makes sound. Sound Waves appear as curved, wavy lines, that travel from the source, staying in place for a few minutes before disappearing. These waves are various colors, flashing brighter depending on how loud they are. Which can easily allow Sylvia to go track the source of the sound. Giving her enhanced tracking abilities. While this may have limited uses, she can learn a few tricks that can assists her greatly in Sound Manipulation, by helping her alter specific sounds.

She can also control how far sound goes. Potentially making even the quietest of all sounds travel far enough to be heard from miles - And vice-versa, you should get the picture by now. [i]Sound Bombs.[/i] Sylvia can make her body absorb sound, and build them up in her body, causing the area to go deaf during the buildup period. When she releases these sounds, they are released as insanely loud and powerful blasts of pure sound that are very similar to sonic-booms. These blasts are like explosions that go in all directions, but she can focus it all into one blast (That'll send her flying). She can control the force of these blasts, she can go from an uncomfortably loud blast that his like a punch, to sending people flying with bloody ear drums. At it's strongest it can shatter steel, destroy walls, and destroy people's hearing. This is her main ability she uses in fights. [b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] Sylvia's has a few drawbacks. For starters, use of her power starts to gradually weaken the moment she starts using it, along with dulling her own sense of hearing, and silences her voice. At the most extreme, it can render her mute, deaf, and powerless for a few hours. That is not fun. Sylvia's Sound Bombs require a lot of sound in order for her to use it, in most cases, music. She usually relies on her iPod, but if you strip her of her iPod, she can't use her most destructive ability. Sylvia's sound bombs can injure her at their most extreme, it's possible for her to crush her body parts. If she focuses her blasts into one attack, she'll send herself flying, and possibly hit an object and injure herself. Generally, Sylvia's power is extremely destructive in a fight, too destructive. She can injure allies and destroy unwanted property. Air and Vibration powers can interfere with her own power. [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Sylvia has been attending the Academy for two years, and has already become one of the top arena fighters.[/hider]
