She's just a free spirit, man... [hider=Come on, take my hand.]Name: Rumi Kataoka Age: 17 Gender: Female Personality: Rumi is incredibly laid back; it is incredibly hard to get her worked up. She takes life at her own page, not really caring about what other people think of her and not worrying about anything, big or small. Rumi is also absent-minded, often lost in her own thoughts and frequently actually getting lost. Sometimes, Rumi can get so lost in her own thoughts that getting her attention would take about as much effort as waking a heavy sleeper. Her absent-minded, laid back nature makes her hard to hate. Rumi is also creative, and usually spends her free time sketching. Good luck getting her attention if she's focussed on her work. Backstory: Rumi's life was incredibly average, and nothing really to write about. She was born to average parents, grew up in an average household with average siblings. She went to an average school and had average friends. She's had one average boyfriend and they broke up after an average amount of time. So, yeah, her life was a riot. Rumi's power didn't manifest until she was 17, and it took a while for anyone to realize what her power did. As soon as someone figured out the nature of her power, her family was pestered endlessly about having her enrolled in the Institute. Her power was, after all, useless without other people with powers. Her parents deferred the decision to her. She accepted, because hey, what's the worst that could happen? Appearance: [url=http://i.imgur.com/gq5Odtk.jpg]"...Huh? Sorry, didja say somethin'?"[/url] Equipment: Her sketchbook. Abilities: Rumi is quite skilled at drawing, stemming from her lifetime of sketching. Channeller category: Alternative Description of power: By maintaining physical contact with another person with a power, she can store that person's energy and amplify it. As long as she and her target remain contacted, the target's energy output becomes more than its normal level. This generally manifested as an increase in an ability's raw power, and does not affect the target's competence in manipulating their energy. For example, she can make a firecaster's flames hotter and brighter, but she cannot make that firecaster control said fire better. Names/descriptions of moves: Amplification: Amplifies the energy output to a target. Currently running at 120%. Feedback: By breaking the contact prematurely, before the target stops channeling energy to her, Rumi can output the surplus energy inside her, allowing her to use that target's powers until they are depleted. Currently running at 20%. This process can be extremely painful for Rumi, depending on the type of energy inside her.[/hider]
