Her light golden-brown hair usually hangs loose, although she'll tend to tie it up whenever she actually has to go out and do anything active. As for her clothes, she almost never bothers to dress up, preferring to stick with her collection of t-shirts which seems to contain at least one for every colour and design you could think of. Usually maintaining a fairly contented expression or looking caught in a daydream, she very much gives the impression that she's off in her own world - an impression which is at least partly deliberate. She also carries around a notebook and pen constantly, although she firmly refuses to show what she writes to anyone. ∟ [color=FFDEAD][b]PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE[/b][/color]: Alex can often come off as though she has no idea what's going on, usually having her nose in a book - or, more often, a comic - and saying nothing. Logically, most people seem to assume that she's shy, nervous, antisocial, or maybe just a little clueless. In reality, the girl is almost always listening, self-confident to the point of arrogance, and mentally sharp as can be - cunning and inventive when it comes to making the most of her abilities. That being said, her silence isn't down to any deep personal reason any more than it's down to clueless stupidity. The truth is, the girl is just completely mute. Luckily, her abilities still leave her room to communicate - auditory hallucinations being as good as speaking where she's concerned - but it suits her more to have people think they don't need to pay attention to her presence. ∟ [color=FFDEAD][b]ABILITIES[/b][/color]: Creation of vivid sensory hallucinations. All the senses - touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste - can potentially be manipulated by Alex's illusions, causing a person to believe things that are not real. Whether it's causing pain, absolutely terrifying someone, or just ruining their lunch if she feels petty, Alex can make someone see or feel almost whatever she chooses. ∟ [color=FFDEAD][b]WEAKNESSES[/b][/color]: [list][*] Alex's abilities are completely unable to do any physical harm to any person or creature, even if they can create the illusion of such. There's a limit to the size of any illusion she can create, too - she can't change everything that somebody's seeing. [*]The more people she's trying to convince with a hallucination, the less detailed it can be and the more focus it takes - if she's affecting more than two people's sight or touch at once, or trying to create a particularly detailed illusion, she can't move or defend herself without breaking the effect. [*]Different types of hallucination are harder to maintain. Sound, taste, and smell take very little effort, but anything that affects people's sense of sight or touch is much more difficult for Alex. If she's badly hurt or panicking, she's unlikely to be able to do much at all. [*]While her abilities allow her to communicate when she's face-to-face with people, being unable to speak means she can't really communicate with radio or phones, so it's difficult for her to get a hold of people if they need to know something urgently.[/list] [/hider] [hider=First Impressions of a Normal Girl][center][color=FFDEAD][i]'Siblings' or not... I don't think I know them at all.[/i][/color][/center] [indent]#1 - ALPHA: [color=FFDEAD]The people are afraid of her, I think. It's probably a power thing, if she's really as strong as the rumours say. To tell the truth, I wouldn't know much about this one - I don't think I've ever had anything much to do with her, and if I did... well, some people get freaked out when I 'talk' to them at first. I'm not sure I'd want to freak her out, because I like being alive. For now, I guess I'm not sure what to think.[/color] #2 - CENTIPEDE: [color=FFDEAD] I think she tries to look after the rest of us, normally, make sure we're all okay. Considering how messed up this place can be, not to mention some of the people we're stuck with, I appreciate it. That being said, she can be as nice as she likes, but when we're in a fight it's like she's a completely different person. But I try not to hold it against her. It's nice knowing at least one of the single digits is trying to look out for people.[/color] #3 - VECTOR: [color=FFDEAD] She makes me look like an idiot. All of us, really. Yes, I know she can't help being smarter than everyone else, but it's still really irritating. I've had enough experience being treated like I'm stupid or don't understand things thanks to my whole speaking issue, so... having someone who's actually right when they think like that kinda strikes a nerve. I don't speak to her. I think someone like that wouldn't like me messing with her mind.[/color] #4 - ADAM: [color=FFDEAD] I'm not sure what to think of him. I mean, he's a little selfish, but I don't think it's bad enough to be really annoying. I don't have much reason to dislike him, but he's creepy. You know, the giggling and the fact that he seems [i]way[/i] too interested in those hydra things... he could be really nice, but it's hard for me to just ignore. That, and I wish he'd accept that not everyone cares about fashion. He's a little obsessive about it.[/color] #5 - MONSTER: [color=FFDEAD] What he's like isn't really his fault, so I shouldn't judge him for it. I shouldn't, but I do - it's hard to ever be comfortable when I think he could fly into a frenzy any second. It's odd, to see someone so terrifyingly powerful and only be able to pity him. It hurts to hear him try and talk, sometimes, because... well, I know what it's like when you just can't get there. It makes me feel sick that they made him like that.[/color] #6 - PSYKER: [color=FFDEAD] She's pretty angry, isn't she? Understandable, considering we're all locked away and everything, never mind the collars that a lot of us have to wear, but she's not achieving much by being so open about it. Pretending to go along with everything gives you a lot more freedom when you really have a chance to do something. Easier said than done for a single digit, but if you're [i]going[/i] to rebel you should wait until it's smart.[/color] #7 - REAPER: [color=FFDEAD] Like a lot of us, he could probably stand to be nicer. I think he cares at least a little, though, but he doesn't really know how to show it. At least he doesn't do the whole 'pointless rebellion' thing a lot of us have going on, but he doesn't seem to have a very good handle on how to deal with his feelings, and goes quiet a lot. Still, I think I'd like to have him on my side, because if you give him a job to do you can depend on him to do it.[/color] #9 - ZOMBIE: [color=FFDEAD] He's really annoying. And kind of an idiot. Sure, he can be pretty fun when we're not in a fight or doing something important, but I think he's gonna get himself killed by being so cocky. Whether or not you think the people in charge have our best interests at heart, if they're telling him he can die then I don't think they're lying. I hope I don't ever have to rely on him.[/color] #10 - GESTALT: [color=FFDEAD] I don't know what's wrong with him, and I don't want to find out. He scares me, because he's stronger than me. If he decided to do that... [i]thing[/i], whatever he does to others, I don't think I could do much about it. That's scary. I don't like it. At least he's more interested in the single digits - I don't think he cares as much about the rest of us. But that doesn't make me feel much safer.[/color] #16 - WEAVER: [color=FFDEAD] At least she's friendly, although I worry that she might knock me over by accident with that whole 'massive robot body' thing she's got going on. Once you get past that, she's nowhere near as intimidating as you'd expect her to be, but I don't know where she gets all that energy from. Like, there's motivation, and then there's whatever she's got when it comes to her machine stuff - I admire her, but I get tired just thinking about how much work she does.[/color] #17 - RIGOR: [color=FFDEAD] Can 'ego' be a superpower? Because if it could, then I'd say that was his. Not that he's the only one around here with a big head, but it doesn't get any less dumb the more people have the problem. Other than that, I don't really know much about the guy. He doesn't seem to be as full of himself when we're not fighting. Very controlled, very level-headed. Weirdly, I think I find that stranger than dealing with some of the more erratic ones.[/color] #18 - ECHIDNA: [color=FFDEAD] She really bought into the whole 'family' thing, didn't she? Um, it's... well, it's meant nicely, anyway. Also a little creepy, but so long as it's not threatening towards me I could care less. I think she expects us to stick out our necks for everyone else, though, and there are people here that I wouldn't risk my life for. Specifically the ones that I think would murder me if I looked at them wrong. Not that I'm stupid enough to tell her that, obviously.[/color] #22 - BLINK: [color=FFDEAD] Oh, hey, a normal person. Normal-ish, anyway, which is about all I can ask for around here. He's a lot more upfront about things than I am, and I kind of admire that he's brave enough to talk back to the higher numbers, but overall he's much less strange than I've come to expect from everyone. Sure, he's a little full of himself, and sometimes he'd benefit from keeping his mouth shut, but I like having him around. Stops me from thinking I'm completely surrounded by mad people. [/color] #32 - PUPPETEER: [color=FFDEAD] Not spilling my secrets that easily.[/color] #66 - EVE: [color=FFDEAD] The kid? Yeah, I know we're all near enough the same age, but whatever. I've heard of her, but never had anything to do with her. If you pushed, I'd say I'm curious about what she's doing here, and why they keep her so separate, but not curious enough to go asking too many questions on my own. Sticking your nose where it doesn't belong is an easy way to get it chopped off.[/color] #74 - GHOST: [color=FFDEAD] I don't mind her pranks most of the time, but they can get pretty difficult to deal with if I'm not in the mood for it. I'm pretty difficult to actually make angry, though, so she's not too bad to deal with. She's a lot more relaxed than most people around here - even more relaxed than me, if I had to make a guess. At least what she does doesn't come off as malicious, but I worry that she'll annoy one of our more dangerous siblings one of these days. They don't strike me as the most understanding.[/color] #114 - PINPOINT: [color=FFDEAD] She likes this place a little too much, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I have no plans on starting a revolution any time soon, but we're still prisoners, really. She could stand to care a little less for the staff, and a little more for the people who are meant to be watching her back in the field. Or at least not acting like they might have to be put down any second. It's kind of unfair to most of them, although there are a couple that totally deserve the paranoia.[/color] #128 - CIPHER: [color=FFDEAD] I don't like him. My abilities are my voice, and he takes that away - I don't like it. It makes me feel worse than useless, like I'm defective somehow. Besides, he seems like he's a shell of a person anyway, and it's not right. Nothing about him is right. He could be perfectly nice for all I know, but so long as he can do that to me I just don't care. I don't want to be around him at all.[/color][/indent] [/hider]
