[hider=Veronica Emily Davis] [color=forestgreen][h3][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u][/h3][/color] [color=forestgreen][b]Name:[/b][/color] [indent][i]Veronica Emily Davis[/i] (Changeling Name: [i]The Terror[/i])[/indent] [color=forestgreen][b]Age:[/b][/color] [indent]20[/indent] [color=forestgreen][b]Gender:[/b][/color] [indent]Female[/indent] [color=forestgreen][b]Appearance:[/b] [/color] [indent]Veronica is a girl that stands out due to two things; her eyes, and her hair. Her eyes are a bright-green color, and round almond-shaped. Quite large, too. Easily the most pronounced part of her face. As for her hair, it's standout because of it's wavy (Almost curly) hair texture, and how it goes straight to her back. Which creates a sharp contrast with her white, ivory skin. Which means she fits the raven hair, ivory skin trope! Speaking of her skin, it lacks scars due to her life-style which didn't involve too much action. She does have a few scars on her skin from childhood falls, and blunders while playing Tennis. Veronica is obviously Caucasian, and is a pot of various European backgrounds. Hailing from Quebec, Veronica is part French, Icelandic, and Welsh. Which shows in her striking and pronounced facial features. Her face is oval shaped, and her facial features are quite sharp, and blend into each other quite well. Starting with her full, pointy-lips, which are barely disproportionate to her medium-sized button nose that is round and compact. Her ears are a crescent shape, and are larger than she'd like them to be. In fear of being called dumbo, she keeps them hidden behind her hair. I've already gone over her eyes. Veronica's build was enhanced by her genes somewhat. She's a skinny girl that stays fit due to a large amount of exercise, and her metabolism working in her favor. Veronica doesn't have a lot of body fat on her, and a faint muscle tone. The girl has a bit of height to her, standing at five-foot-nine. Standing tall as the guys! Not something that she is particularly proud of, however. Veronica has a bust that would ample on a shorter girl, being C-cup, but her behind more than makes up for it. Being gigantic for a girl her height.[/indent] [color=forestgreen][b]Skills/Talents:[/b][/color] [indent]When Veronica was still in school, she became quite an expert at Tennis. Her footwork, reflexes, and speed are quite good along with her skill. She doesn't play it as much - but whenever she gets the chance, she stops by a tennis court and practices (At times, plays some scrubs at it). Being a native of Quebec, and otherwise French-Canadian, she knows how to speak French fluently. In terms of social skills, Veronica is quite charismatic... and manipulative. She knows how to make people bend around her finger to do as she pleases. Veronica's time with the Changelings have also taught her combat skills. Not only using her power, but fighting without it. Veronica knows her way around a gun, and prefers pistols above all else.[/indent] [color=forestgreen][b]Brief Backstory:[/b][/color] [indent]ailing from Quebec, Veronica is the daughter of a CEO of a clothings company. Veronica lived the privileged life, baby! However, unlike most people, she didn't really have mommy and daddy around. Due to the fact that the circumstances of her birth weren't ideal for either party. Her mother was a young, impressionable, model who was looking for fame, and her father took advantage of that. Getting the model to sleep with him in order to get herself a name. She agreed - and Veronica was the result of that relationship. Now, her father was too busy running his company, and didn't have the time to interact with his daughter, and her relationship with her mother was shaky at best (Being ashamed of her daughter). So, Veronica was left in her father's mansion, and in the care of a team of maids and butlers. Which meant that it was up to them to raise her... and the results weren't pretty. What was more was there was more to this company than her father let on. This simple clothing company was one of the many that had ties to the Hands of Science. One of the organization's backers. Veronica's father was using this in order to get backdoor deals on their fancy serums - also helping them target Metahumans to kidnap. All in the name of money. Growing up, Veronica didn't exactly develop a kind heart. Taking what little interactions that she had with her parents to heart, she developed the idea that she had to be great to get to the best places in life. Better than other people - and that she could step on them as she saw fit. This trait manifested and became pronounced during her time in school. Going through school, Veronica did everything in her power to become the best. The best looking, having the most friends, and excelling in school - due to her father's influence, she could go to wealthy, high-class, schools. Even if she didn't legitimately accomplish it, she did a few backdoor deals in order to accomplish it. She became the epitome of hubris, and she had plenty to back it up. Due to her ruthless pursuit, she gathered a lot of friends in school. Veronica's main claim to fame was Tennis. She drove herself to become a Tennis star, boasting that she would become a professional, and laugh at everyone underneath her. Veronica's interactions with her father was limited, but served only to further her attitude. They had a positive opinion of each other - being quite similar in many, many, respects. Despite the fact they remained distant from each other, he was the only person Veronica came to seeing as an sequel. However, Mr. Davis was all about seeing his daughter become the best. Using his backdoor deals with the Hands of Science, he managed to purchase a power serum for Veronica. She was, at first, very hesitant, but after realizing all the [i]incredible[/i] things she could be capable of, she took the serum. Just to put herself on par with the freaks that roam this world. At first, she didn't realize what it had done. Until she could feel electrical currents flowing around her. A few internet searches about Metahuman testimonials had got her experimenting. Eventually, it appeared that she had electromagnetism at her fingertips. After she realized that she had this amazing power. She quickly vowed to learn it, realizing that it was just proof that she was superior to other people, and took pride in her ability. All in private. Whenever she was alone in her room, she'd bring some dinnerware, and play around. Despite practicing, she could never quite get it down. It took her years until she could get a grasp on it. Though, this was something that she kept secret from NEST for obvious reasons. The last thing she wanted to do was live under their rules. Veronica became the Prom Queen, and a few years after that, she graduated from school. Getting ready to reach the next stage in her life. Though, there was a rival in her father's business that wanted to be head of the company. So, he did the simplest thing; expose the man for all his dirty deeds (Save for the connection to the Hands of Science). While returning home, the police had raided the mansion, and pulled out all sorts of delicious things (Drugs, money, and stolen goods). Father Davis was arrested, and their family bank account was frozen. Which meant that the family had [i]nothing[/i]. Suddenly, everything that Veronica had was taken from her. Money, friends, school, and opportunities were long gone, and the only opportunities she had now was working in a fast food restaurant, and living in a shitty motel. This filled Veronica with an anger like no other, and a desire for revenge against those who "wronged" her. Which lead her down a [i]very[/i] dark path... the path of evil personified. Her anger and her incredible power made her a prime candidate for the Changeling Unit. She was approached by the Changeling leadership... Luis, Heartbreaker, and the Mannequin, and offered a spot in the Changeling Unit, and seduced by all the rewards. Veronica took the chance without hesitation. Though, she had to "prove" herself to them by going through five hellish trials. Veronica had dark ambition, and aced every trial they set before her, until she was deemed worthy of being a Changeling. There, she stopped being Veronica, and started being the "Terror." Being one of the Changeling Unit's strongest assets. Though, she was repulsed by the group's sadism and depravity, she couldn't turn down the money and status within the organization. Veronica got plenty of practice using her power by carrying out missions assigned by Luis'. She became quite skilled in using it, far more skilled than ever before. Veronica was also a trusted member of the Changeling Unit. However, once the Unit was exposed to the world, the group split up into two groups. Heartbreaker's group, that went to Verthaven. Luis' group, that went to Toronto to pursue a Metahuman. Veronica was apart of neither group. She was assigned a special mission by Luis to investigate a few matters that have been disturbing him. For starters, a woman who attacked an Academy with her own group. He wanted to know about their motives, and a possible recruitment into the Changeling Unit. The other thing that Luis wanted looked into was something he wasn't willing to share much about - but he wanted to know about a person who called himself the "Black Hound." Veronica, not one to disappoint, set out to find these people. She tracked them for months until she ended in New Rivere City.[/indent] [color=forestgreen][h3][u][b]Power Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]Elemental: Energy[/INDENT] [color=forestgreen][b]Power:[/b][/color] [i]Electro-Magnetism.[/i] [indent]Veronica possesses the mighty ability to control the electromagnetic phenomena. This ability manifests itself as control over electricity, and magnetism. Each in their own ways. First, and foremost, Veronica has the ability to emit her own electromagnetic field that she can perceive, and manipulate as she pleases. This field manifests as a dome that goes out twenty feet in all directions. This gives her a wide variety of abilities, the most notable being her ability to move any ferrous material, whether it be metal (Iron, steel, etc), or otherwise - assisted by a background ability (A combination of telekinesis, and metal manipulation). She's capable of manipulating these materials much like any other bender-type. Veronica is highly capable of manipulating a large amount of metal at a time. She's [i]capable[/i] of lifting up and throwing a car... but it's such a feat that it'd cause her to pass out afterwards. Veronica fully acknowledges how impractical that is - and instead chooses to smaller uses which are even more effective in fights. A storm of knives can be just as devastating. However, she also deals with attraction and repulsion of these metals. Yes, she can attract anything ferrous to herself, and repulse it. Veronica can also attract metal to a specific part of herself. However, she can magnetize metals such as steel by touching it and "passing" the ability onto another source. She can't control it, per se- it automatically attracting all metals around herself. Another technique she's capable of by creating these fields is a "shield". In effect, it's essentially a shield that stops any metals, and holds them within the field until she disperses it. The mechanics, however, is that Veronica is setting her field into "automatic" mode, where it automatically catches any metal, and this method takes quite a bit of concentration. This field is especially useful for stopping bullets (Long as they have steel jackets). Pistol rounds will slow down until they stop, however, higher caliber rounds will take more effort to stop. The other half of her ability is electrokinesis - nothing that'd make her Thor, however. Electricity and Magnetism is very closely connected, and thus, she has a limited control over the energy. Just to address the obvious, yes, Veronica is capable of controlling electricity in the direct way. Such as controlling how it flows, or producing electricity that she can directly shoot. It isn't like a bolt of lightning, more like a continuous stream. At it's extreme, it's no more powerful than a, say, stun gun. Though, make no mistake, [i]any[/i] amount of electricity can stop a man's heart. Veronica is capable of distributing larger amounts of powerful electricity on touch, which is powerful enough to fry someone if she holds on for long enough. However, Veronica has the ability to absorb electricity (which will play a vital part of keeping her power functioning). This, of course, means she can enhance her electrical attacks (Even the ranged ones). At most, she can absorb a lightning bolt's worth of electricity - however, she can't actually absorb a bolt of lightning, and it's unlikely she'll be able to even absorb this much (Refer to the limits section). Veronica is also capable of dispersing electricity - low amounts of it, however. She can't possibly shut down a dedicated electrokinetic. Veronica can control electrostatic forces, and cling to objects. Veronica's own abilities also give her a flight ability. She can't fly high like Superman, but she can levitate ten feet off the ground at a pace comparable to herself walking. Whenever Veronica starts using her power, her eyes start glowing green, with green electrical arcs appearing from her eyes. Interestingly enough, all metals she controls will be surrounded with a green electricity, any electricity she produces will also be glowing green.[/indent] [color=Forestgreen][b]Limits:[/b][/color] [indent]These powers have a few limits which restrain her from becoming Magneto. Veronica's power is dependent on whether or not she currently has a magnetic field up. Up until she does, she's powerless. Veronica is only capable of control metals within the bounds of her own field, which extends twenty feet in all directions. Anything outside of it is out of her hands. Veronica's fields have a limited "charge", shall we say. Over time, the electromagnetic field will eventually decay, and become unstable. When it becomes unstable, obviously, her control within the field will deteriorate. Up until it finally gives up, and she's powerless. This happens after using her fields for a large period of time... takes around fifteen minutes of use for the field to start getting wonky. Once it runs out, Veronica will have to haul ass and absorb electricity, or another Magnetic field, in order for her powers to start working again. Absorbing electricity has it's own two problems. For starters, she isn't completely immune to electricity. Her control over it is what stops her from electrocuting herself. If she isn't fully prepared, she can be electrocuted like anyone else. Veronica also can't absorb a lot of electricity at once. While she can hold a lot of electricity at once - suddenly absorbing a lot will cause it to overwhelm her and simply electrocute her. She'll need to slowly absorb electricity to reach that level of charge. The other half is that, if she absorbs an excessive amount of electricity, she'll have to quickly release it. Having too much electricity in her will exacerbate weaknesses below. Not only that, the electricity can overload Veronica, and eventually shock her, if she holds it in too long. Obviously, anything that isn't metal or electricity is a completely different ball-park. Someone can beat the fuck out of her if they pull out a wooden plank or sex toy! Veronica's electricity powers aren't as strong as a electrokinetic mutant's ability. She can't produce a powerplant's worth of electricity, but what she can produce can be a pain in the ass for someone without an insulator of some sort. Now, electricity has a range before it starts to disperse. The further it goes out from Veronica, the less powerful it'll be. For balance, let's just say that Veronica's Electromagnetic fields hold the electricity together, and it'll disperse the second it leaves the field.[/indent] [color=Forestgreen][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/color] [indent]Veronica's magnetic field can be destroyed by high amounts of heat. In fact, if a metal is too hot, she can't control it. And metal is a [i]very[/i] good heat conductor. She won't be able to even get her magnetic field up in the first place if it's too hot. Which means that heat-based Metahumans are her bane. Veronica's power is electrically based, and very charge/current based. Water is what disrupts those currents. If someone throws water on her, say a cup, then her power will be interfered with as the currents will go into the water. If she's the slightest bit wet, all electricity will go into the water no matter what she does (Though, the water will evaporate eventually). Getting submerged/soaked in water will cause Veronica's charge to disappear, and she'll be powerless up until she's dry, and finds electricity or a magnetic field to restart her power. Now, Veronica's power is connected to her own bio-electricity. This works against her in two ways. Using her powers will begin to disrupt the electrical signals in her body. Which can potentially cause violent twitching, or she'll lose the ability to properly control her body parts. Which can be a pain in the ass. The other way it's a weakness is that it's a steady, careful, balance. In case another electricity comes into the mix, it can screw up her power. Now, while Veronica can control electricity, she has to be on guard, prepared, etc or she's weak to it as anyone else. It also requires concentration, and interrupting it can cause her to shock herself. Something that can ruin her concentration would be hitting her while she's charging up an attack.[/indent] [color=forestgreen][h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b] [/color] [INDENT] Alec Rory - Father (Imprisoned) Jacqueline Rory - Mother[/INDENT] [color=forestgreen][b]Dynamics:[/b][/color] [indent][b] {Character Name} [/b] | [b] {Impression (Good/Bad/Neutral} [/b] | [b] {Relationship (Friend, Rival, Crush, etc)}[/b] | {Character Thoughts via in-character quote} | [/indent] [color=forestgreen][color=forestgreen][h3][u][b]Other[/b][/u][/h3][/color][/color] [list][*]A domineering and calculated girl. Growing up, she's gotten the impression that you need to be ruthless to get to the places you need to be in life. Which is why she carries herself with utmost confidence, and strength. She will rise to any challenge just to show everyone that she's the greatest. However, this turns into her flaw, because she tends to go to idiotic lengths in this pursuit. To other people, she can come off as snobbish, callous, and at times, aloof. She tends to associate herself with a select few people - the rich, the strong, the powerful, etc, and ignore the rest. Merely because she has zero time for losers. Veronica is also secretly bisexual, presents herself as heterosexual. [*]Veronica brought a few weapons with her from the Changeling stockpile. Two Smith and Wesson 4506's, a Smith and Wesson 500, a few combat knives, and several throwing knives (To use with her power). Veronica doesn't bring all of them around with her for concealment sake. She usually brings one pistol, and a few throwing knives. She isn't expecting a fight, but she's prepared. [/list][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_JU1OD-OLU[/youtube][/hider]
