[hider=Amelia Cross]
Name: Amelia Cross

Race: Half-human, quarter-Cambian, quarter-Djinn

Powers: Empathic--can sense strong emotions and manifest changes based on those emotions. Needs to feed on emotions for sustenance. None of the illusion powers of Cambians and relatively minor manifestation Djinn powers. Her powers fluctuate based on the intensity of the emotion the target is feeling, but they change reality (in the Djinn way) in order to resolve the emotions. They're as subtle as possible, and tend to shift the emotions of people around the target in order to shift the situation to resolve the emotions. Amelia usually has tight control over her powers, but when her guard is down (she's overwhelmed, tired, etc) or when the person's emotions are unusually profound, her powers can work without her knowledge or intent.

Year: Freshman

Degree: Psychology

Reason for wanting degree: Wants to be a therapist. Endless supply of emotions as well as the ability to help others deal with their emotions.

Hobbies/Clubs: Secretary of the gay/straight alliance. Plays back-room poker (using her powers to sense when people are bluffing). Tends bar to make ends meet.

Personality: Amelia is introverted, which makes her relationship with her powers and needs complicated. She's trying to reach out to people more, but she isn't great at it, partially because she doesn't always trust herself to open up safely (see bio). Because she's panromantic and asexual, relationships are doubly complicated. Amelia tends to be very grounded, as she has figured out how to keep her own emotions balanced and in check, but when she feels strong emotion, it often overpowers her judgment and perspective.

Bio: Amelia is the second person in her family to attend college. Her father--a half-human half-Djinn--graduated from East Coast University with a teaching degree and currently teaches high school English. Her mother--a half-human half-Cambian--is a high-class escort. Amelia was successful in school, mostly because her lack of connection with others gave her quite a bit of free time. Her only romantic partner, a girl she met in 11th grade, ended up having to spend time in a mental hospital because Amelia absorbed so much of her emotions at once (the first time they kissed). Since then, Amelia avoided strong emotional attachments.
