[*]Rosalyn Street, Silver Hills (Where his mother lives).[/list][/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][h3][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/h3][/color] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Hair Color:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Black[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Eye Color:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Green[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Ethnicity:[/b][/color] [INDENT]German, Greek, Italian, & Russian.[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Physical Appearance:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Daniel's demeanor is hard to gauge because he is pretty difficult to read as a person. Daniel doesn't carry a large presence with himself, he's the type of dude that keeps his head low and keep it moving. You can say he's reclusive, he doesn't like attracting attention to himself. Daniel constantly has a neutral/plain expression on his face, it's strange because it's almost like he's contemplating something at times. When he walks, he tends to take long strides, that are long, but at the same time, deliberate. While moving his shoulders in a rhythm of sorts. You can say that he has a big of swagger to his walk. He tends to keep his hands in his pockets - or one hand in a pocket - whenever he walks, but sometimes walks with his hands gracefully swaying at his sides. Daniel is pretty tall for his age at six-one, and has a generally sleek build. One that gives way to little muscles, but it is apparent that Daniel has done some physical activity. Because he's got that firm, tight, build of someone who has certainly done some exercise. He has broad shoulders, and a wide chest. Daniel definitely has long limbs that are solidly built. Most of his body is hidden underneath his clothes, so he merely appears to be skinny. Daniel is definitely Caucasian with a splash of Slavic. Daniel has a multitude of different European countries in his blood, with the primary ones being German, and Russian - he's distantly Greek, and Italian due to his ancestors genetically mixing often. Daniel looks pretty European. He has sharp, strong, facial features inherited from his father, and bright-green eyes that he got from both of his parents in fact. Some people call him a "pretty boy" because of his looks, because Daniel is somewhat-effeminate in the face. His facial features, while strong, above all else look a little gentle, and girly. People say it's his eyes... which he mainly got from his mother. They say his eyes have the gentle, longing, look of a woman - in addition to being pretty big and pronounced on their own. Daniel's skin is clear of the small injuries because he was closely monitored and excelled - which left little room for tiny hiccups. Whenever he got injured on the Family's watch, their medical care took care of it before it could even leave a scar. That said, Daniel definitely has a mighty scar. From a confrontation that definitely didn't go in his favor. A large circular - but wild looking, like a flame - scar on his chest... a mighty burn mark from a battle that he wished that he could have won. It is disgusting, and barely looks like it'll ever fade. A battle scar that'll never go away. Daniel's hair is straight, and meticulously maintained and groomed. It's kept short as his hair is styled into spiked hair combed upwards. You can often see Daniel pulling out a comb, and combing through it, after a scuffle, or whenever it's been disturbed. A nervous tick of his. The rest of his body is pretty clear of hair, actually. He shaves his face, armpits, and his arms and legs. Daniel is a dude that doesn't like excess body hair at all. Daniel's facial shape, as stated before, is sharp (albeit soft here and there). His nose is eagle-like in shape, being sharp, hooked, and long. With thin, triangle-shaped, nostrils, and a squared, pointed, tip. His nose-bridge has a little bit of thickness to it, of course. In comparison to his nose, his lips are nearly invisible because they are only small, and natural, shaped. Not standing out at all in the boy's face ('Less you kissin' him). Daniel's ears are crescent-shaped, and medium-sized - nothing to write home about because I doubt the last thing people will pay attention to is his [i]ears[/i]. Daniel's jaw is pretty squared, and his jaw-line is equally sharp. He's got that ideal jaw. As stated before, Daniel has large, green, eyes, inherited from his mother. Well, he's got the green eyes from both of his parents, but that's neither here nor there. His eyes are round, very round, and wide as they are tall. They are pretty beady, as people say he stares into their souls with those big eyes of eyes.[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Attire:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]Daniel's attire is pretty casual, bland as it gets. Daniel [i]loves[/i] jeans. He'll be seen in jeans 80% of the time in jean shorts, or jean pants. When he's not wearing jeans, expect him to be wearing pajamas, or it's swim-wear. As for tops, he'll wear T-shirts and whatnot with his jeans. Actually, When the special occasions come by, he'll wear the button-up shirts with the fancy patterns. Though, I should note that, unless it's too warm; Daniel will always wear a jacket of some sort. His favorite being a black long-coat he got during his time with the Founding Family. Just something he thinks looks super badass. He also likes to wear hoodies, and leather jackets. Around his neck, Daniel likes to wear a necklace of a whale's tail in silver.[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b][/color] [INDENT]A boy conflicted with his past, present, and future. Daniel grew up with the narcissistic Founding Family, in fact, he was almost indoctrinated into being one of their top lapdogs. Such a past has certainly shaped Daniel into an interesting individual. He is barely a legal-aged adult, and he has seen his fair share of action. To get started, Daniel is a generally a polite and kind-hearted individual. Albeit, his social skills aren't the greatest. His life was more focused on training him to be an employee rather than supplying him with the valuable social skills that were necessary at the time. So, instead of being a more outgoing type, he is far more reclusive than he hoped because he misses social cues, and lacks emotional intelligence. Daniel is pretty nervous in general. Constantly feeling like an outcast, like he doesn't belong here. Even though he tries his best to fit in, he may force himself in. He isn't the best at maintaining conversations due to a lack of subjects that he can apply to people - nor does he feel like he really relates to anyone. He thinks logically instead of emphatically, which is certainly a problem when interacting with people. He may sometimes say the wrong thing at the wrong time, and certainly piss people off. One of the things he knows he has to get over if he is going to get further in life. Despite that, Daniel tries his best to be friendly. He wants to befriend people after all. He isn't introverted, far from it. When Daniel gets into a conversation, he tends to be rather open and talkative. Throwing jokes, and trying to be at least somewhat notable. He tends to be rather fun-loving because, after a lifetime of learning, he's ready to have some fun. If you'll take his sorry ass out to experience something new, then he'll definitely go for it. He is young and in his prime, after all. Daniel wants companionship above all else. Both the platonic and romantic brand of companionship. Daniel is certainly trying to discover his sexuality, and find himself a lover of sorts. The Family isn't shy about sex, and he has certainly experienced it, Daniel wants to know what it feels like to be romantic. However, that sexual contact has sabotaged him somewhat. He rushes too much into sex, and his mind is mostly wrapped around it. Because the Family was liberal in general, he's pretty loose about his sexuality. Daniel is attracted to curvy women, and equally good looking boys, though, he doesn't have too much in terms of personal standards. He feels like he'll be attracted to anyone who gives him the time and place. Though, despite being kind, you can tell that he thinks highly of himself. A bit of the Family's ego rubbed off on him. Having a great position throughout his life has made him arrogant, and egotistical. It's subtle, though. A slip of the tongue, or believing that he has more strength/knowledge than he truly has. He believes that he can lead the rather unruly Cultivators to greatness. He believes that he is tougher than the Founding Family (Despite them beating Daniel to a pulp). Daniel is quite prideful, and we all know what comes after pride, right? Another little flaw of his is that he's very confrontational. Once faced with a situation, he'll throw insults, and talk all sorts of shit.... disguised as polite language, of course. Though, piss him off enough, and, eh, well, he'll get a lot harsher towards you. One thing that Daniel hates is irresponsible people, and utterly despises those that toy with the lives of others just because they can. He's also known for his hot-blooded personality, being quick to jump into a fight without reason. Daniel is, above all else, ashamed of his past. With his mother as his moral compass, he realized that not only has he stood by and watched the Family commit atrocity after atrocity (Which has awakened his humanity), he personally done some pretty horrible things to people as Blake Schmidt's apprentice. Daniel desperately wants to atone for his past as one of the Founding Family's servants, and use his talents to help the world. Because of his past, he has a strong sense of humanity... because seeing humanity's worse affirmed what is good and bad in his head. He strongly believes in helping other people, and taking responsibility for their actions. All in all is a pretty noble kid. Though, he finds this difficult, as he doesn't know where to even start. His attempts to help people are... misguided. He tends to make short-sighted, reckless, decisions, that causes him to make bad decisions that do more harm than good. People tend to. He tries to see himself in a heroic light, but people call him idealistic. But, at the same time, the Founding Family is all Daniel truly knows. He knows that cult was fucked up beyond all recognition... but, he feels at home with them. More at home with them than under the wing of Maximilian Cornell, or inside the Academies. Daniel secretly longs for the power and wealth he had while under the employ of Blake Schmidt. Creating a conflict within the boy as he tries to decide [i]what[/i] he wants to do. He desires direction in life. He wants to redeem himself, but doesn't even know where to even start. He just feels like he's wandering in a life he was never meant to live. Daniel honestly feels like if it would be easier if he just joined up with the Founding Family's remnants. Being a boy scout like Maximilian Cornell wants him to be is difficult, and Daniel longs for the days of fancy mansions, and expensive clothes. Daniel has an odd habit of adjusting his clothes. Making sure that his outfits look perfect at all times. A specific quirk that he picked up while growing up with the Family. They want their Cultivators looking their best at all times, after all. Also, Daniel hates bugs.[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]As one of the Cultivators, Daniel was practically raised to be well-educated, training to be a scientist. One of the best minds in the Founding Family that would advance them to greatness. However, his training never quite finished, but he does know a lot. From biology, to computing, to physics, to even world history. I'd say in terms of knowledge, he's up there with a really dedicated high-school student. Though, he was slacking in all forms of education because why should he. He knows a few other languages as well; German, and French. Not exactly proficient, but he knows enough of those languages to have a basic conversation. Daniel was also trained to be Blake Schmidt's apprentice, and thus, knows how to use his power well, and knows how to use it in a fight. That's essentially where his applicable skills end, however.[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Goals/Motivation[/b][/color] [INDENT]Daniel has many different goals in life. First, redeem himself and his bloodline in the eyes of the world. Second, find out where the Verschlinger and her Coven took the rest of the children training under the Founding Family's care (The Cultivators). And finally, find people who's been screwed over by the Family.[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]History/Bio:[/b][/color] [hider=Victory comes to the Finest] [INDENT]The exact details behind Daniel's birth was an enigma, but he was born into the Founding Family (Which means this is shit I'll reveal in IC). Daniel was raised among a group of other children who were also born into the Founding Family, known as Cultivators. A small sect within the Founding Family were children were raised from birth to serve the Family with all the skills they had to offer. Cultivators were trained rigorously and given an intense educational process to turn each and every one of them into the next generation of Founding Family's employees. Along with giving them physical training, and more. Overlooked by the Blessed Three - with those that preformed the best earning a "reward" of sort. Daniel himself was no different from this process. He hit the books hard as he preformed sports. He was one of the top students among the Cultivators. His intelligence and physical ability were top-notch. Earning the affection and adoration of not only his teachers, but the other Cultivators. Though, he had kept a close bond to his mother, Anya Forsythe. A Scientist within the Founding Family who kept a close bond to the Cultivator in secrecy. She was the one that met him in secret every now and then, teaching him the one thing that the Family lacked; empathy. She was the one that did her best to reverse the indoctrination done by the Family, and try to make Daniel into a real human being. She would be severely punished, but she did what was right as his mother. This went on until he was thirteen years old, when he had finally earned his reward: superpowers. Blake Schmidt himself had handed Daniel a vial full of a glowing green liquid, with instructions to ingest it. Daniel was honestly terrified by the prospect, but he happily ingested the serum. After a bit of pain and convulsing, his ability had awakened. The right side of his body was engulfed in flames, while the left was frozen. Daniel was terrified: the sudden manifestation of his ability was something he couldn't understand at a young age. He eventually passed out from the exertion from overusing his power. Daniel was taken to the Founding Family's medical facilities, and was broken free from his frozen prison. He awakened, and was personally informed by Blake Schmidt what had happened: he had gained control over fire and ice as a strange duality. One side could control fire, and the other could control ice - Blake was impressed by his ability. Once he recovered, Daniel was immediately trained to put this powerful ability of his to good use. During this training, Blake Schmidt had approached him and given him an offer that none of the other Cultivators could even dream of having. Being his apprentice. Daniel had no choice but to accept this man's offer, and was immediately given a special kind of training that few of the other Cultivators could even hope to have; experience. He was selected to be an apprentice alongside three of the other Cultivators. It was mostly small things as Daniel was only training. Accompanying Blake Schmidt on business matters to other countries (going far as Asia). Learning about the secret side of the world, and the extent of the Founding Family's control over it. Daniel was in awe, but wondered why he was selected. That's when Blake told him the truth... and everything started making a lot more sense. Daniel started sliding more towards his mother as he started to realize the atrocities committed by the Family on a regular. Along with the tight leash they held on the world. It was disturbing, the morality and humanity that his mother had put into him were becoming more and more apparent. But, Daniel couldn't help but feel amazement at their scientific prowess. They could really help the world if they weren't obsessed with themselves, and advancing their power. But, Daniel had little power in the Family, and had no choice but to comply. His opinion of Blake himself took a nosedive once the incident in the Valos Manor took place when he was just eighteen. Daniel had accompanied Blake to Black Fall to go meet a rich businessman who was interested in expanding his power to the Family: Jason Valos. He had little to actually offer to the Founding Family, from the eyes of the Family, they would be helping him. Nonetheless, they came to at least entertain him. The deal at the Valos Manor went poorly, and a large battle took place between the Founding Family, and the Founding Family, which Daniel took part in. It was a brutal battle where many Metahumans clashed that ultimately ended in the Founding Family's favor. The Valos Family were defeated save for a few getting away - which were only Johnny, Jason, Gabrielle, and Jaska Valos. Blake put little thought as to who they were as he chose to get something out of this endeavor: a load of new Secretaries. Many of the Valos children were enslaved by Mechanized Memories, and Daniel was disgusted. It was... inhumane as it got, after finally realizing why so many of the Secretaries were so blindly loyal to the Founding Family. Then Daniel realized his own blind loyalty. That was when Daniel chose to rebel against the Founding Family. Daniel wanted to liberate the Cultivators from the Family, and attempted to duel Blake for their freedom. Blake gladly accepted... but, what Daniel didn't realize was that Blake was so horribly out of his league that he got curb stomped by the Family's leader. Instead of being executed, Daniel was imprisoned within the Family's headquarters for months, so he could "come to his senses." For several long grueling months, Daniel's home was a cell, where he wondered why he wasn't just mind-controlled back into compliance... Then he reminded himself of that little fact, and realized Blake's angle. He plotted his escape - but, the fall of the Founding Family had occurred, and Daniel was liberated along with the rest of the prisoners from the Founding Family. He was taken to a RAVEN outpost (As their headquarters was destroyed), and was approached by Maximilian Cornell. Daniel explained everything to Maximilian, and managed to reach out to the man's kinder side. Maximilian ultimately offered Daniel a place not only in an Academy, but as his own protege. Daniel kindly accepted both offers, as he began to experience a normal life for a change. Experiencing life from another perspective, Daniel had a hard time adjusting to Academy life. It was definitely difficult for Daniel, and he was wondering if he should turn back. Meanwhile, his mother had decided to get a job in the Hope Foundation (Which had a branch situated in Baybridge itself) and using her impressive medical science to get herself, and her son, comfort for once in their lives. She managed to buy an apartment on Rosalyn Street, and that was a good enough place for Daniel to stay when Academy life got too overwhelming for him. What helped was Maximilian and his training, who was trying to guide Daniel down the right path: joining RAVEN, and putting his talents to good use. However, Daniel was conflicted with himself, he wondered if he had a place in RAVEN, but he also wondered about the rest of the Cultivators. Maximilian told him that the Verschlinger had taken the majority of the younger Cultivators, and he has no idea where they are. Daniel chose to ultimately find where the Cultivators were... which wasn't easy as he had zero leads. [/INDENT][/hider] [color=Lightsteelblue][h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b][/color] [hider][INDENT] Anya Forsythe - Mother. [INDENT]A half-Russian woman who was roped into the Family because of a debt that her father had owed. Anya was forced to become a scientist for the Family, and while in their ranks, she bore her one and only child, Daniel. Using the veil of secrecy, Anya taught Daniel what it means to be a human being, and ultimately planted the seeds of humanity in the boy that would grow in the face of the Family's crimes. Eventually allowing him to see the light, and rebel against the Family. Once the fall of the Family came, Anya joined the Hope Foundation to provide for herself and Daniel... keeping her past as one of the Founding Family's scientists a close-knit secret.[/INDENT] [/indent][/hider] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Dynamics:[/b] [/color] [hider][indent][h3]| [b]Penny Rosier[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Good[/b] | [b]Friend?[/b] | [i]"Despite the facades, I can read Penny like a book... she definitely cares a lot more than she lets on."[/i] | [indent] Penny and Daniel's relationship is definitely an odd one. With Penny being the last person people expect to be friends with Daniel. Yet, here they are. Close friends because Daniel helped Penelope when she needed it the most, and it turned into a budding friendship. Daniel tolerates Penny's crassness (finding it an amusing breath of fresh air compared to the Family), and sometimes even feeds into it. Daniel always seems to be there when Penny needs him, and the latter always sticks up for the former. What makes it strange is their mutual pasts.

Right from the start, Daniel knows that Quentin is more grounded than Maximilian, and just wants to help him live out what's left of his childhood. He's still trying to work out his opinion on Quention. Though, he wishes that Quentin would sneak him wine. [/indent] [/indent][/hider] [color=Lightsteelblue][h3][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Elemental[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Power:[/b] [/color] [i]Duality of Fire & Ice.[/i] [INDENT]Daniel possess the ability to use two elemental abilities at once: Fire and Ice. However, unlike most elemental types, he can only use Pyrokinesis on the right side of his body, and Cyrokinesis on the left. Whenever he starts to use his powers, his right eye will transform into burning-orange, while his left will be an icy-blue. His ability also comes with an aura of sorts. Whenever Daniel gets into a fight, his aura will manifest as a "fire" made out of light (Right side orange, other side blue). The more intensely Daniel fights, the bigger and brighter this aura gets. Daniel, of course, has a resistance to both heat and the cold.[/INDENT] [list] [*][i]Fire-Manipulation.[/i] [indent]From the right side of his body, Daniel is able to conjure burning flames. He can do it all; from fireballs, to jetstreams, and burning infernos. He can do pretty much what you'd expect a firebender to do, so there isn't much to really go over. At will, he can extinguish any flames he has created (but, not any flames that have been spread). He can also produce heat without creating a single flame.[/indent] [/list] [list] [*][i]Ice-Manipulation.[/i] [indent]The left side of Daniel's body allows him to manipulate and create ice itself. He can produce ice in any shape imaginable, making it fairly durable, along with telekinetically being able to move it. He can also produce freezing beams/orbs/etc that freeze all they come in contact with. Daniel is able to create a layer of ice upon anything he touches, and spread it across a small room at most.[/indent] [/list] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Limits:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Compared to a dedicated Cyrokinetic/Pyrokinetic, Daniel's abilities are a bit... limited. While his abilities are strong, he can be overpowered by a dedicated elemental-type. Along with the fact that his ability specializes in creating, not controlling. Daniel can only control ice and fire that he has created, and only in a fairly short range of around eight meters - he can throw his elements beyond it, however. Daniel could produce a limitless amount of fire and ice... if it wasn't for his stamina.[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]Each ability has their own drawbacks. The main one being that using either ability dehydrates him. Daniel's firebending makes him very dry, and his cyrokinesis also use a bit of his natural water supply. He better he careful in the middle of a fight, or he may find himself passing out from dehydration. While he's resistant to his elements, he isn't completely immune. Which means he can be damaged by a strong enough attack from a fire/ice opponent, along with damaging himself if he goes overboard. He needs to use both of his powers in equality to avoid injuring himself. Along with the fact that, if he loses function of one of his abilities, his flank will be very hard to defend. Each of his abilities have weaknesses of their own. Naturally, fire manipulation is countered by water/ice/etc. Throwing a bucket of water on him would cut him off from his pyromancery until he drys off. Daniel isn't immune to the byproducts of fire, and can possibly suffocate if he burns up too much oxygen, or die from smoke inhalation. He has to be very careful not to let a fire go out of control. He can only extinguish flames [i]he's[/i] created, and not any flames created by proxy. He could start a wildfire. Daniel's ice powers are countered by heat. Even though he himself doesn't have to worry about heat long long as he uses both abilities, his ice doesn't have that luxury. The hotter the area, the harder it'll be for him to produce ice.[/INDENT] [color=Lightsteelblue][b][u]Other:[/u][/b][/color] [indent]■ Daniel - being Blake Schmidt's apprentice - knows a lot about the inner-workings of the Founding Family, and many of their secrets. ■ Daniel uses... a bicycle, to get around Baybridge.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Penelope Morgan Rosier] [hr][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/4L1Q9Qu.png[/img] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA8OUsmNhAM[/youtube][/center][hr][hr] [color=firebrick][h3][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u][/h3][/color] [color=firebrick][b]Name:[/b] [/color] [INDENT][i]Penelope Morgan Rosier[/i][/INDENT] [color=firebrick][b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [/color] [INDENT][i]Penny.

For starters, she's painfully short to the point where she gets mistaken for a girl much, much, younger than herself. What doesn't help is her youthful, rounded, facial features, and her choice of hairstyle. Though, they think the bright red hair is overkill. Penny is a girl that stands at 5'0, pretty damn short, and has a slightly pudgy build due to her painful lack of exercise. Almost like she avoids becoming a landwhale due to preforming even the minimal amount of exercise to get by. She has a bit of a gut, and pudgy limbs that makes her stand out. Fortunately, her style of clothing is heavy enough so that she manages to conceal her weight. However, that only works so much. Her gut sticks out a bit. Some people say that it makes her a bit more "cuddly." Those same people tend to get punched in the nose. What it has done for the girl was give her a bit more curve. Naturally, due to her mother's genes, she has some curves to her. Her chest size is 40F, nipples are pierced, and her hips are a similar measurement (Through, someone can say that she has donk). Most people don't notice due to the fact that Penny wears a binder over her chest, and wears fairly heavy clothing at that. Her waist isn't that far off either - which means she has a fairly round body shape. Penny herself is half Irish, English, and Mexican. Her mother is pureblooded Mexican. Her father on the other hand is a Irishman whose great-great-great-great grandparents immigrated to America and eventually miscegenated with English people. Her facial features appear to be more European than Spanish, however. Penny has a light-brown skin, because of her Spanish mother contrasting with her Caucasian father. Due to not going out that much, Penny's skin is fairly clear of scars. But, not clear of tattoos. Penny is a dedicated party-girl, and thus, has a few tattoos. Though, they are fairly strange as they are mostly arthropod-based. She has [url=http://img14.deviantart.net/a1b2/i/2014/029/2/3/hercules_beetle_by_angelarizza-d74bf45.jpg]a Hercules beetle in a floral wreath[/url] on her chest, right above her left breast, and encompassing her shoulder. It is her favorite tattoo. Inked on her lower back (right above her butt) is a tattoo [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/c7/9f/71/c79f713edd4ca83d8dc7609a756c8121.jpg]of a beetle with it's wings out.[/url] A total tramp-stamp, but Penny thinks a beetle is the least erotic thing you can get a tattoo of.

It's [i]one[/i] tattoo that people don't see a lot. Most notably is Penny's hairstyle. It's easily her most pronounced feature. Her hair is naturally brown, and has a straight texture. Due to her mother's upkeep, it's pretty well maintained. On the other hand, Penny naturally has a metric fuckton of hair. Like, if she doesn't cut it, it'll grow to a ridiculous length. However, she makes good use of it. As a way of expressing herself (I.E Making sure that she stands out in a crowd), Penny styles her hair in two giant pigtails that can touch her shoulders. These pigtails flow with the breezing wind, and are made even more pronounced by the hair dye. Penny keeps her hair dyed in a bright red-color that stands out in the crowd. Her facial features are pretty rounded, and the same goes for her head - but she regards herself as a solid three compared to other people she knows. As it was stated before, Penny's facial features are European. Starting with her rounded, "baby cheeks" that give her face a distinct round shape. Her jawline is practically nonexistent, she doesn't have the sexy jawline that those supermodels have. In fact, her cheeks and jawline don't smoothly blend into her rather square jaw that sticks out oh so slightly. Penny's lips are medium sized, and rather full, having wide, spaced peaks. She doesn't have the lips that boys desire, but they're bound to appease someone out there. Her lips are barely disproportionate to her wide, droopy nose of a similar medium size. Her nostrils are big, and the tip is very low. What people find odd about Penny is her large eyes, with beady irises that are stated to be able to pierce even the strongest souls. Her eyes are round as they get, and they have a brown color to them.[/INDENT] [color=firebrick][b]Attire:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]As stated before, Penny wears a variety of heavy clothing that covers up her body fat (rather than make the most of it). She wears many jackets, and various other sweaters of the sort. She would never be caught dead in anything like a dress or a skirt. Though, she has a odd clothing choice, indeed. She either dresses heavily hipster, or heavily rave girl. Wearing bright and flashy colors, with some odd patterns. Just because she likes that style. She also occasionally wears stockings. But, I should also note that Penny always wears a binder over her chest because she doesn't like her hefty chest. It makes her chest appear to be a lot smaller... at the cost of being a total pain in the ass sometimes. Penny goes light on the piercings. Other than the aforementioned nipple piercings, she has her ears, belly button, and tongue pierced. [/INDENT] [color=firebrick][h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Literally the saltiest human being on earth. The dead sea ain't got nothing on her. There are a lot of words to describe Penny. Crude, short-tempered, and uncivilized. Penny is not exactly the most subtle human being out there. She tends to talk a lot, and barrage the people around her with her crass, uncivilized, sarcasm. She peppers her speech with many swears, insults, and various sex jokes. To the point where people don't take her seriously. She, most of all, has a very short temper, and a very sharp tongue. These combined make Penny a very large presence when she's pissed off. She'll reach deep inside herself when she insults people. Opposed to her usual, crass, speech patterns, she goes for the most savage insults around. However, if one were to read into what she says, they discover that she displays a surprising amount of intelligence, observation, wisdom, and is even philosophical at times. This can surprise people as she shows a surprising awareness of events and provides a very introspective look at things. Many opinions on the various organizations of the world... Just that she shares this wisdom in the most immature way possible. Which raises the question as to whether she is this way, or just wants people to underestimate her. Though, one thing that annoys Penny is a boring ol' introvert. She despises the kind of people that are inaccessible to everyone else, and stay away from people because "it's not their thing." Though, it isn't true hatred, she just finds them annoying. However, one thing that Penny cannot deny about herself is how she admires how many introverts are true to themselves, and how they love themselves for who they are. Two things that Penny admires the most in a human being. She seems to favor people who are true to themselves (and by extent, other people) rather than putting on facades and masks to appease the masses. She's a free thinker, yeah. Penny is a very creative, and adventurous person. She loves to go out and discover new things. Learn new things about herself as she finds her place in the world. Penny would honestly love to travel if she had the means to. But, she loves to go on adventures and explore places. Penny is a very dedicated person indeed. Her passion is what she uses to see her goals to the very end. Despite all of her sex jokes, and posturing, Penny is unprepared in the romance and sexual field. Like, she is very nervous about the subject - she never even dated a person! She literally can't take the subject seriously. She'll always end up ruining it with a weird sex joke, or something. It goes without saying that she is [i]horrible[/i] at flirting with people. She can't even manipulate a dude with her feminine charms without fucking it up. That said, Penelope is attracted to boys, though she is pretty fluid with her sexuality. But, she keeps romance bottom of her list of needs for a variety of more pressing matters being her concern. She doesn't really know or understand just what kind of person she's attracted to... only that she is more attracted to knowledge and intelligent people above all else. She gets attracted to a lot of people due to her own misinterpretations and awkwardness, but she has never once acted on it. Not just because she's nervous about romance, just that she's [i]really[/i] self-conscious. She sees herself as a fat and ugly broad that wants to be taller, and slimmer. She doesn't feel like anyone would like her even if she tries her very hardest. She also wishes her breasts were smaller because she "hates being a titty cow." Though, Penny is very mischievous indeed. She would gleefully play a prank on someone... And her pranks go big. She once spray painted city hall with some friends (and superpowers). Though, in regards to her powers, she shows a distinct lack of responsibility in regards to her powers. She would gleefully abuse her powers to her own ends, and show little care as to the damage she causes. Long as no one gets hurt. Penny's biggest fault is that she is rather undiplomatic. She doesn't negotiate that well, and despite all of her intelligence, she is socially dense. Which makes conveying her feelings hard, and more importantly, considering other people's emotions. Peoples problem is not that she's rude, just that she's an unemotional asshole at times. Even when she doesn't mean to. Her morality is a difficult matter. Penny isn't a hero, nor is she a villain... she's Penelope Rosier. A force of her own that has her own goals and motives in the world other than helping or destroying the world. Penny is roughly Chaotic Neutral. She is just as likely to do bad things as she is good things - long as it serves her own ends. Penny will roughly stay out of other people's conflicts, merely because she either doesn't care, or doesn't have anything to gain. If someone's getting mugged, then she'll just keep walking like she didn't see anything. She's just that pragmatic, seeing herself as a neutral force rather than leaning towards one side or the other unnecessarily. That said, there is a line. She won't stand by and let a friend get murdered, and there are people out there that Penny finds morally reprehensible. All in all, Penny is a very bitter girl, but she doesn't ask a lot from this mad, mad, world; she just wants to be left alone. Simple as that. People like the Founding Family have already showed her the kind of people this world produces, and she sure as hell wants to stay out of their various plans. She wants to preserve her father's legacy, and live her life peacefully (I.E. Do lots of drugs and party). Though, the world still wants a little more from the Rosier girl...[/INDENT] [color=firebrick][b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Many things interest the Rosier girl, starting with her love of finding new things, and exploring new places just to sate her curiosity. Penny is also a lover of knowledge, and different things. Though, the girl has a heavy interest in philosophy, and proverbs. She spends a lot of her time looking up different philosophies and the sort. Penny is interested in insects (and arachnids), with her favorite insect being the Hercules Beetle (Hence the tattoo!). You can expect her to be spouting bug-themed trivia when it's relevant. The girl also loves to party. Take her to a rave, and the girl will come alive. The same raves are where she started her love of light drugs. Weed, hallucinogens, that kind of stuff. Nothing hard like cocaine (What? Do you want her to become a crack whore). When she's not doing any of those things, she likes to browse the internet, play games, and kick back. Penny is also a lover of sweets, and even though they do awful things for her weight, Penny is often seen with a lolipop hanging out of her mouth.[/INDENT] [color=firebrick][b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [/color] [INDENT]Despite having the combined subtly of a broken window, Penny is a very intelligent girl. Having much education academically, and having intelligence outside of it. She can piece together a mystery far easier than other people, and point out things that most people would look over. This intelligence surprises people because of how hilariously crass she is, and allows her to deceive them with ease. Dancing is also a talent of Penny that few expect her to have - once she gets on the dancefloor, it's own, baby. Something she picked up at the raves and parties Penny attended. Because of her Mexican mother, Penny has picked up another language - Spanish. Since it's a rather easy language to learn, and it has much use in America, she learned it with ease and she's pretty fluent in it. Penny also uses drawing as one of her many creative outlets. She draws digitally, but is capable of using pens and pencils. Penny also has minor self-defense training. Not saying she's a certified street fighter, but she needs to know something to repel any potential rapist. She can fight someone like that off, but have trouble against someone forcing themselves who knows what they're doing. Also, if Olympic Brick Throwing was an actual sport, Penny would be a gold medalist.[/INDENT] [color=firebrick][b]Goals/Motivation[/b][/color] [INDENT]Penny's primary goal is to recover her father's research from what is left of the Founding Family, and also begin her search for him. She has a close bond with her father, so this is her primary motivation. She also wants to seek out a regenerator, and copy their power so she may achieve functional immortality.[/INDENT] [color=firebrick][b]History/Bio:[/b][/color] [hider=A Past Best Left Alone][INDENT]Penny grew up in a family of scientists, you could say. Her father was a genius in experimental transportation, Sean Rosier, and Mia Vizcaíno, a top scientist in the Hope Foundation. The two met in at a party hosted by the Savior Foundation, and hit it off. They fell in love, and eventually bore a child out of wedlock. The two kept this fact in mind as they got married, and lived peacefully in Baybridge. Growing up, her parents were very busy with their work. Sean was on the trail of something world changing, and Mia was working on the next medical breakthrough. That didn't do too much good for the young Penny. Penny grew up... rather anti-social. In school, she just didn't get along with other kids, and would often get into fights, steal, and would generally act pretty hostile towards other children. To the point where she was diagnosed with Conduct Disorder, and put on medication, and therapy. Penny's behavior eventually improved, and her parents were relieved. Though, she had displayed intelligence above her fellow classmates - she would just pick up on things much faster than them, and figure out things on her own. However, as busy as her parents were, Penelope's father made sure to spare some time for the developing Rosier. While he was working on his research, Sean discussed it extensively with Penny, and telling her all about his magnum opus. While Penny didn't understand it at the time, Sean's grand plan was dimensional travel. He believed that there were other universes out there, and he wanted to travel in between them. The world called him a fool, but Penny believed he was a genius. Most importantly, telling her about where he keeps his research. Life was good for Penny... up until the Verthaven Disaster. That's what caused some strangeness to happen. The Hope Foundation's activities went up, up, up, and Mia was incredibly busy. While some strange people approached Sean, and made an "offer" with the man, and greatly expand his research. Sean gladly accepted the offer... but, that meant he was way too busy to even think of what to do with Penny. One thing came to mind; send the young Penny to live with Aunt Emily, in St. Portwell. Penny didn't like it, but her Aunt Emily had some free time made available. Penny was still too young to make sense of most of this, but she gladly fit into the city of St. Portwell. Penny had plenty of help adjusting to St. Portwell with the help of her cousins; Zoey and Sabrina Gray. These two were the only friends that Penny had growing up. Both of them were older than her, but eventually they grew a tight bond and eventually the two became older sisters to Penny. Zoey and Sabrina were the two people that helped Penny refine her social skills to go from sub-human scum, to maybe having some social graces. Some. While they helped her become social, they sure as hell weren't the best influences on Penny. Once they were old enough, Sabrina and Zoey took Penny to parties that the other small town kids threw, and the two introduced Penny to the wild party-girl lifestyle. One that she came to love. The girl was still pretty good in school - getting high grades and whatnot - but once Friday hit, the only thing on Penny's mind was heading to a party, getting drunk off her ass, and having a great time. However, one thing that Penny had in her potential was the capability to be a Metahuman. She has Metahumans in her bloodline (On her mother's side), relating to Super-System powers. Penny's power had naturally awakened, but subconsciously. Penny didn't even realize it, until she had gotten into a fight with another girl. She punched the other girl in the nose... and the Metahuman energy in the two of them had illuminated. Penny had no idea what this meant, and would have gladly brushed it off as too much alcohol until she realized that she could change her appearance: shapeshift. The first thing Penny did was hunt down the girl with the Grey sisters, and the girl told her that she had the ability to shape-shift... it didn't take a genius to realize that Penny had copied her ability during her escapades. Penny had the ability to copy other powers... so much power in her hands! She made sure to use it irresponsibility as possible. Such as posing as an older woman to score herself some booze, and starting many fights for her amusement. This was one thing that she had kept away from DOVE. Like all good things, they had to come to an end. It all started when Penny got old enough to understand and comprehend things, and her Aunt Emily figured that it was time to start telling her things about their family. Penny was fairly close to her aunt, to the point where she considered Emily a mother figure opposed to her aunt. Her Aunt Emily told her the truth of the people who approached her father on that day; they were with an enigmatic group known as the Founding Family, and they had recruited her father in hopes of making good on his theories. He had gone missing, and Penny was distraught. That's when Penny gained an interest in this Family. Against the wishes of her Aunt; he wanted to find out who they were, and more importantly, what happened to her father. The first step was going back to Baybridge with her cousins, and finding that his research was all gone. Penny was pissed, but she needed to find a trail somewhere. Penny searched up the Founding Family on Tor... and was eventually accosted by the Intimidation Unit. They had heavily interrogated the girl, and the Gray sisters. Only to be bailed out by her aunt - who was revealed to be a member of the Founding Family. They were taken back to St. Portwell, but Aunt Emily warned Penny and the sisters to never seek out the Founding Family again. Penny took that advice seriously... then Aunt Emily gave Penny some of her father's notes that had apparently gone "missing" when the man disappeared. She trusted her with it, . This was when Penny had zero idea of what to do, she sure as hell didn't want to kick the hornet's nest again. She was happy going through her father's notes, which told her [i]everything[/i] about the Family. This was a treasure trove of information that people would kill for. Penny kept her mouth shut about it. Penny lived on, partying, and having a great time... On her last year of high-school, Penny had learned that the Founding Family was destroyed, and that it was her time to start looking for her father. If her mother wouldn't do it, Penny will. Penny searched high and low, looking for any lead on her father. Eventually, she gave up... and instead turned to his notes. For the next two years, Penny launched a massive mission to search for her father's notes to preserve his legacy... going on an adventure of her own.[/INDENT][/hider] [color=firebrick][h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b][/color] [hider][indent] Sean Rosier - Father. [INDENT]The man that both Penny and Wendy search for. Sean Rosier is a average heighted male with Chocolate brown hair. He is a genius in the field, and was working on something that could change the field: Dimensional Travel. He was close to making a breakthrough when he vanished - leaving behind his collection of research notes that have been scattered across the remnants of the Founding Family and more. Penny was very close to the man, and her main motivation in life is to find all of his research, and keep it somewhere safe. Regardless of the costs.[/INDENT] Mia Rosier - Mother. [INDENT]Mia Rosier's name is known all over the Hope Foundation - as she is one of their leading scientists and has made many medical breakthroughs. She fell in love with Sean at a young age, and they got married. Though, she never really had a major presence in Penny's life because she was busy, and has trusted her with Sean's sister. Ever since Sean's disappearance, Mia has become even more distant from Penny because she is dealing with grief in her own way. Mia has three different powers that work well together; healing, flight, and projecting barriers.[/INDENT] Emily Gray - Aunt. [INDENT]The woman who took care of Penny during a majority of her youth, Emily Gray, like her brother is a genius, but she specializes in Metahumans. Emily and Penny were fairly close because she was the closest thing to a mother figure that she had. Though, Emily disappeared a few years ago, and Penny hasn't heard from her until recently...[/INDENT] Adrian Gray - Uncle [INDENT]Emily's husband, a Brazilian man who is the man of the Gray family, and father of them. He took over for Emily when she disappeared, though he's on RAVEN's watchlist.[/INDENT] Zoey Gray - Cousin. [INDENT]Zoey is Penny's older cousin (by around two years), and a very interesting girl. Zoey is a tall half-English/Scottish, half-Brazilian, girl with blue hair and a generally punk demeanor. She is fairly chill, albeit super talkative. Other times, she appears to be very brooding. Zoey is the girl that introduced Penny to the party-girl lifestyle that she has to this day, and introduced her to drugs, and other bad habits. Not like Penny minds, really, she loves her cousin with all of her heart. Zoey, like Penny, is a Metahuman with the ability to produce an entity made out of electricity that she can control. This Electrical-Entity can travel through powerlines, and release energy on touch. When this entity isn't materialized, Zoey can create and shoot lots of electricity.[/INDENT] Sabrina Gray - Cousin [INDENT]The younger, grumpier, sister of Zoey. Sabrina grew up as a prodigy, and she let it go to her head, and Sabrina is a little bratty. But, she is much like her sister in having dyed her hair lime-green/yellow, and is fairly punk. The three of them are close as the trio would hit parties, and have all sorts of shenanigans (Mostly started by Penny). Sabrina has an ability that is very similar to her older-sister - An Entity made out of plasma that she can control. This entity isn't as fast as her sisters, but it certainly hits much harder with deadly burns. When it isn't active, Sabrina can control plasma.[/INDENT] [/indent][/hider] [color=firebrick][b]Dynamics:[/b] [/color] [hider][indent][h3]| [b]Daniel Forsythe[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Good[/b] | [b]Friend[/b] | [i]"He's such an idiot sometimes... but, I think I care about him."[/i] | [indent] At first, Penny and Daniel's relationship was just a mutual arrangement so that they both could get something out of it. It ultimately spiraled into something far more meaningful. The two became close friends (well, Daniel is honestly the only real friend that Penny has in Baybridge). Penny makes sure that Daniel knows that, and despite being rude as ever, she treats him noticeably better. This is because Penny has secretly developed feelings for Daniel... she doesn't know how to process them, or go about it. [/indent] [/indent][/hider] [color=firebrick][h3][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Super-System/Power: Replication[/INDENT] [color=firebrick][b]Power:[/b] [/color] [i]Super-System Power-Replication.[/i] [INDENT]At this point, it goes without saying that certain kinds of Metahumans operate on a similar wavelength to each other. Similar kinds of Metahuman energy, you can say. Penny, on contact with another Metahuman with a physical ability (Whether it's super-strength, a Bestial power, or beyond), can copy these abilities and utilize them for herself. She can get the full power merely on a brief contact, and will store the power inside of herself until she reaches her limit (which is around four powers). The power will "mutate" as it transfers from the owner to herself. It's her way of "personalizing" the power, you can say. Making it unique to herself. The changes might be slight, to extreme, but the power always mutates so it's never a perfect replica of the ability. Penny can only use one power at a time, and she can freely switch between powers at will. Penny can copy powers from other Replicators long as it's super system. Current powers are:[/INDENT] [hider=#1 Shape-Shifting.][i]Shape-Shifting.[/i] [indent]The very first power that Penny copied when she realized the true nature of her ability, and is thus, the ability she is the best with. She has the ability to alter her physical appearance to mimic other humans (and other human beings exclusively), or merely alter her own body to take any physical appearance that she wants. There's plenty of customization for her shape-shifting. She can change features such as skin/hair/eye color, facial features, add things such as tattoos and scars, change genders, and false wounds - Regardless of what form she is currently in. The only thing she needs to do to mimic someone's form is skin-to-skin contact. And yes, Penny can shape-shift into a male with functioning genitals. Penny can also mimic voices by altering her voice box.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=#2 Spider-Physiology.][i]Spider-Physiology.[/i] [indent]Penny's second power she has acquired allowed her to harness the power of the Arachnid! It's not even an advanced Bestial power. It allows her to grow eight spider-legs out of her back, and manipulate them like they are extensions of her body. These spider legs are long, eldritch, and have enough strength to lift Penny up with ease. She can do just what you expect: quickly move, and climb on walls (More importantly, do it quietly). These spider legs are also very pointy, and make for a good stabbing weapon. While she doesn't have a venom, she has a few other enhancements. A spider's sense of smell is superb, and she grows extra eyes which enhance her field of vision by a tenfold. She can also produce web from her body. From [i]there[/i], and she has spinnerets on her wrists, and her ankles. Which means, yes, she is literally Spider-Man now. She can produce webs in a variety of forms, even shooting it as a projectile. These webs are sticky, and have much tensile strength. Enough to bind a grown man, but not enough to stop a speeding car.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=#3 Super Strength.][i]Enhanced-Strength & Durability.[/i] [indent]A power that Penny copied from some red-haired bimbo she encountered a few years ago. Basically, whenever she activates this power, her muscle mass triples and she becomes super muscular. A transformation of sorts. Because she has a higher muscle mass, her muscles are capable of easily exerting supernatural amounts of force, and are extremely durable. She has enough strength to throw cars with ease, send someone flying with a kick, and punch through concrete. Penny can lift around three-thousand and two-hundred pounds at most. Which is enough to lift up a car, and make sure that anyone who takes a direct blow from her isn't going to get up for awhile. Because of her strength, the muscles in her legs are also capable of carrying her further. She can run faster, and jump higher. Of course, Penny needs a power to work in the background of this incredible strength. She is insanely tough to boot. Her skeleton has been reinforced in order to support the weight, her tendons and ligaments can't be torn easily, and her skin is rough, and hard to pierce. She's capable of easily shrugging off a weak ass baseball bat, basic blows, or a knife, like it's nothing. Though, bullets (Especially high caliber) would still pierce through her normally. To supplement these abilities even further, she also has a higher stamina. [/indent] [/hider] [color=firebrick][b]Limits:[/b][/color] [INDENT]Penny can only use one power at a time, and has a limit of four powers before she has to discard one - and the usual replicator weaknesses on top of that; she doesn't know how to use a power rat off the bat. She has to train with it to figure out the capabilities and limitations. Of course Penny inherits the limits of any ability she copies: [list][*]Shape-Shifting: Her shape-shifting power is limited by mass. The tallest Penny can achieve is around six feet - and that's not taking into account body-fat or muscles. Worse case, she'll have to transform into a smaller version of that person. Which makes disguising herself as someone very difficult. Clothing isn't incorporated into the shape-shifting, she'll have to find some new clothes that fit her new body, if necessary. Certain Meta-humans can see through her form. Her scent is the same regardless of form, and other telepaths/extra-sensory types can see through it. Penny is also unable to maintain a form for more than an hour straight, the longer she holds it, the more she'll break down.[/list] [list][*]Spider-Physiology: Penny can be caught in her own webs... Her spider-legs have oils that allow her to move on them without getting caught, but the rest of Penny doesn't have it. If any spider-legs are injured, then she'll have to retract them and give them time to heal. The transformation is also a straining affair that tires out Penny by a great deal. She can only produce around twenty-yards of webbing before she has to wait a little bit to replenish her supply.[/list] [list][*]Enhanced-Strength: Unless she throws something, Penny will be restricted to close ranged combat. While she's strong, she's still limited by her stamina. Excessively lifting objects places a strain onto Penny. Like average humans, her muscles will tire out after doing it a lot. It's rather easy for her to overexert herself, and start feeling burnt out. Fighting at full strength isn't exactly ideal. While Penny is tough as nails, she still feels pain. A punch can't hurt her normally. Her durability mostly prevents physical attacks from hurting her, elemental (Specifically Energy) attacks are effective against her. Getting set on fire isn't pleasant (Her blood might boil!), electricity would knock her out, and etc. And, you know, she still needs air. [/list] [/INDENT] [color=firebrick][b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [/color] [INDENT] Penny's ability doesn't have any weaknesses on it's own - Penny inherits the weaknesses of whatever power she copies. [list][*]Shape-Shifting: Due to it's low strength, it doesn't have a whole lot of weaknesses. Only thing is that her nerves are far more sensitive due to the fact the transformations took a slight toll on her body. She feels much more pain, as a simple poke can sting like a bitch.[/list] [list][*]Spider-Physiology: This form makes Penny more vulnerable to heat and cold, as changing into this form renders her cold-blooded. In addition, Penny's spider-legs can burn much easier, and fire is a quick way to remove her spider legs. The extra eyes also don't make bright lights any easier, because a flashbang can render her permanently blind![/list] [list][*]Enhanced-Strength: The first weakness she has is that Penny'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 Penny uses her strength, then she has the likelihood of tearing up her bodily tissues. Which would cause some problems. It would also cause plenty of joint pain, and impair her healing. Jess also doesn't have the best balance. Throwing a roundhouse kick is just as likely to knock herself over. Finally, muscle is pretty heavy, and it adds onto her weight. It makes her heavier than most people.[/list] [/INDENT] [color=firebrick][b][u]Other:[/u][/b][/color] [INDENT]■ In many ways, Penny is meant to be the "rival" to Wendy. Both of them are similar in certain ways, but the opposite of each other in many more. Some contrast is obvious... other is subtle. ■ Being a clubber, Penny has come up with ways to defend herself outside of her power. The first thing is that she carries around a taser that will give anyone a nasty shock. The other thing she has is a pepper sprayer - but that's where the fun begins. As Penny has [i]long[/i] used up the original contents in her many confrontations, she has decided to make her own out of peppers that she had lying around the house. She has several different types of pepper (Including a ghost pepper) blended together (On the plus side, it makes a really good hot sauce). Getting that shit near your eyes is great way to want to remove 'em. ■ Penny rides a moped around Baybridge.[/INDENT] [/hider]
