As such, she doesn't cut an overly intimidating figure, at least until she locks eyes with you. It's Charlie's eyes which cause many would be suitors to second guess approaching the otherwise stunning woman. Charlie is especially known for her keen piercing emerald eyes. Her fierce green eyes give away the fact there's something wild and untamed behind them. Piercing and keen, it's almost as though her eyes can't stop moving as they swish from side to side, taking in their surroundings constantly. Charlie's eyes are known for being able to look right through someone as though she is staring into their soul. Possessing naturally deep brown hair with strands of gold and auburn acting as natural highlights which are most visible in bright light. In dim and barely lit places, Charlie's hair can appear to be nearly black. Almost keeping her hair on the longer side, Charlie is known for tying back her hair on one side of her head, giving it a 'punk rock' look. She'll often wear a pony either tied behind her head or to the opposite side of her side braids. Charlie's general attire ranges from long sleeve shirts to hoodies usually, sometimes cropped depending on her mood or whether. It's not uncommon to find Charlie in a sports bra and comfortable track pants. When out, her top is almost always paired with tight dark-wash jeans or leggings. Charlie will often wear a t-shirts paired with a hoodie and jacket, or a long-sleeved shirt adorned with a hood and a jacket. No matter the weather or outfit, Charlie is never found without a leather jacket. Her outfits are generally designed to be easy to switch into her Maverick attire.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=SLATEGRAY][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]▼ B I O G R A P H Y:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][CENTER] [img]https://i.imgur.com/LQLBwaG.gif[/img] [sup][color=silver]"I've always been a bit of a wildcard, a [i]Maverick[/i] if you will."[/color][/sup][/CENTER][indent][indent][i]This is the story of your character's life, their defining moments nd how they made it from the womb to where they are now.

Using the gifts granted to her by her Hyperhuman abilities, Charlie chose to live her life as a vigilante by night while working towards improving life in New Lilith. Forming the Mavericks, Charlie shared her mission with the group, putting them directly into the path of the man known as Roman Locke. This would come to haunt the Mavericks as they were betrayed by one of their own, leading to the death of another Maverick. Broken and discouraged, Charlotte now faces the decision whether to rebuild or move on.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=SLATEGRAY][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]▼ A B I L I T I E S / S K I L L S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][CENTER][img]http://i.imgur.com/Gyt9Wub.gif[/img] [sup][color=silver]"Anything you can do, I can do better." [/color][/sup][/CENTER][indent][b][color=CADETBLUE]//ABILITIES:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ ABILITY REPLICATION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Charlie’s primary Hyperhuman ability is to mimic and emulate the abilities of other Hyperhumans. This emulation requires physical contact, which then triggers Charlie’s own abilities as they ‘source’ the host’s DNA before being able to replicate the effect. As such, the physical contact needs to be longer than a fleeting touch, but rather a prolonged and intentional hold. Emulation of abilities don’t come with any side effects to the host, Charlie does not absorb their abilities but rather a slight shift in her own genetic code in order to re-prodice their gifts. The effects are temporary, lasting proportionately to exposure to the original host. It should be noted that Charlie does not gain the host’s skills through emulation and must learn the ability herself before using it. However due to Charlie’s other abilities, learning and mastering new skills is something she excels at. Once an ability has been replicated, it is imprinted on Charlie and might activate within a certain proximity of the original host. These imprinted abilities are linked to several other factors. Proximity to the original host and empathetic connection. As such if she replicates a power of an enemy Hyperhuman, Charlie may only be able to call upon it in a state of heightened adrenaline similar to when she first replicated the ability.[/i] [INDENT][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ INTUITIVE INTUITION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]An ability permanently absorbed and imprinted on Charlie from her father. Due to the impact of losing her father at an early age, the trauma awoke Charlie's Hyperhuman gene early, and the underdeveloped gene permanently replicated the ability into Charlie. This ability grants Charlie the potential to understand and utilize anything from information, theories, skills, riddles, logic, and puzzles, to the structure and operation of complex systems, codes without special education or training. Under the proper circumstance, Charlie can instantly learn and understand the complexity and exactness of organisms, and objects. Charlie's unrivaled intuition allows her to simply "just know" personal information about an object, subject, or occurrence, including sensing how others will react to something that the user does or when something is about to happen. This ability is innate and cannot be turned off. It allows the user to intuit spiritual truths and principles (sensing the presence of evil/danger/people that dislike Charlie, a feeling that she should or shouldn’t go somewhere, or knowing the right thing to do or say in any situation); this faculty is called Gnosis. When Charlie observes any concept, he is able to understand it completely if enough information is present. When she wants information/knowledge she can acquire it instantly and use what he has learned perfectly. If Charlie comes into contact with any piece of “information” that is wrong, she will intuitively know this and can discern what is correct and what is wrong.[/i][/INDENT] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ TALENT MIMICRY |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Charlie can perfectly emulate any skill or talent she witnesses thanks to the Hyperhuman gene’s effect on her mind. Able to recognize and extrapolate patterns, she can match a martial artist blow for blow in minutes or even pick up an instrument after witnessing a single performance. Much like her ability to mimic other Hyperhuman abilities, these skills, for the time being at least, are only temporary and will fade in a time proportionate to the amount of exposure Charlie received to the particular skill set. Skills and talents which have been learned previously return quicker upon each subsequent acquisition.[/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//SKILLS:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ DEDUCTION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]A natural at isolating patterns and summoning conclusions from a variety of facts and figures, Charlie is able to solve various mysteries, and rather enjoys doing so. This makes her somewhat invasive as Charlotte seems to crave solving almost anything that someone else regards as a secret. Charlie makes special use of this skill when leading the Mavericks through investigations and resolving the identities of their foes.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ EIDETIC MEMORY |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Also known as a photographic memory, Charlotte has the ability to recall any part of her past, or something she's seen, heard, tasted, smelled or felt in great detail. Charlie's father always attributed this particular trait to Charlotte's mother who also possessed the ability. This ability however does not extend to skills especially those picked up by Charlie's intuitive aptitude. Charlie's known for having keen eyes which are rarely ever still. Constantly shifting back and forth, Charlie always takes the time to observe and memorize her surroundings. Not only does she do it by sight but by sound and smell as well. Her skills of observation are uncanny, especially when combined with her eidetic memory. This skill greatly contributes to Charlie's prowess in the field of mentalism as well as her substantial deduction skills. When Charlie was younger, it was her mother who taught Charlotte to always keep her eyes open and be continuously be aware of her surroundings.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ GADGETEER |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Charlotte is highly skilled at designing and building all manner of items, ranging from a homemade motorized skateboard to a highly versatile disc like weapon. Charlie's skills are fully attributed to both her intuitive aptitude and the skills she absorbed from her father. These skills allow her to come up with various concepts, visualize the design and either construct it out of the necessary parts, or recommission what she has to emulate the desired result. Showing aptitude with a wide number of electronics, especially computers, Charlie is quite successful with handling and working on almost any piece of technology she comes across. Proficient with writing code, soldering circuit boards, hacking and a great manner of other technological skills. Charlotte is capable with a wide variety of tools and is easily able to figure out those which she has never used. As such Charlie can build a wide number of mechanical devices however her skills falter when it comes to wood working. This is because Charlie has never encountered or learned from someone who specializes in this area and as such won't be furnishing the Mavericks' base with rustic chairs and tables anytime soon. Generally however, Charlotte is a competent with working with metals and electronics.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ MENTALISM |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Charlotte has very highly developed mental and intuitive abilities. The ability to read body language heavily contributes to this, Charlie can even listen to heartbeats, and will often take a hold of her target by their wrist to gauge their heartbeats. Another ability that contributes to Charlie's mentalism, is her ability to observe and remember every detail in a room, or her surroundings, even details that may seem insignificant at first. With the use of all this, Charlie is able to apply her mentalism to subliminally manipulate her subjects, or even psychological influence them. Charlie's use of mentalism can lead to people mistaking her for psychic, something which she tires of hearing as she doesn't believe in magic. Though Charlie has used this misconcpetion to her advantage before.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ STRATEGIST |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Charlotte has always had a natural gift for strategy whether through playing chess with her grandfather and father as a child or reading the Art of War among other works from the great leaders of old. Her ability to read people and predict their actions has also helped. One summer, Tiffany roped Charlie into helping her coach a little league football team and Charlie was easily able to ensure victory for each game much to Tiffany's surprise as Charlie had never shown an interest in football in her life, not even the players. Charlotte can think for either herself whether in combat or simply planning ahead, known both for issuing quick orders on her feet and for laying out an elaborate scheme in advance.[/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//LIMITATIONS:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ KNOWLEDGE |[/COLOR][/B] [i]While a lot of skills and talents are reliant upon muscle memory, some require numerous years of studying in order to develop. Skills such as these are much harder for Charlie to mimic as she lacks the required background knowledge. Even though her intuitive aptitude can in fact give Charlie a perfect understanding of some concepts, most of these concepts have to fairly straight forward. More advanced techniques require an accumulation of information but she will have a 'gut feeling' to work on, opposed to absolute clarity. The greatest limitation of intuitive aptitude is that even if Charlie has absorbed everything necessary to know on a subject or skill, she can still forget this information once the use has passed. This means that Charlie will have to re-learn any skills on a consistent basis, although they do come easier each subsequent time.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ MAGIC |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Charlie is unable to either replicate magical abilities or mimic the skill in which the Magni create and cast their abilities. This may be in part due to Charlie's own disbelief and dismissal of the presence of magic or it may be an actual limitation of her Hyperhuman abilites.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ ALIEN PHYSIOLOGY |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Like magic, Charlie is unable to replicate the abilities provided to one by alien physiology. This can also extend to alien skills, if the skill isn't able to be performed due to limitations of the human body. However, replication of alien abilities caused by their physiology is a hard limit and there's nothing Charlie can do to skirt it.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ RETENTION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Charlie can only retain a maximum of one Hyperhuman ability at a time. In actuality, her body is capable of holding two, however due to the trauma with her father, Charlie seems to have permentantly retained his Intuitive Intuition, thus completely absorbing one of her potential slots. As such, Charlie must sacrifice her current ability in order to gain another. This rule holds true for her skill mimicry as well. Charlie can not just keep mimicking skill after skill, but rather only a maximum of three at a time. As such, if she mimics three martial arts and no method of parkour, she'll be unable to free run until she swaps out a skill for the ability to do so.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ OBSESSION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Charlie's intuitive aptitude has the drawback of making her obsessed with constantly learning more. This can lead to Charlie having little respect for personal boundaries and intruding on private information. Charlie practically hungers for knowledge and this can extend to secrets and gossip. Depriving Charlie of information can send her into a tailspin, leading to her to obsess over it and unable to focus on other matters until she figures out that which she seeks. This makes encountering new foes particularly dangerous.[/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//WEAKNESSES:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ EXERTION |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Charlie's body will literally shut down if she forces herself to learn or mimic too many skills or abilities in a short period. Constantly swapping abilities is very draining on her body and more than three ability swaps within a single battle will drain her, leaving Charlie physically weakened and mentally exhausted. If Charlie pushed herself beyond this, she can be rendered unconscious or even comatose depending on the additional abilities and their drain on her body.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ OVERLOAD |[/COLOR][/B] [i]One of Charlie's notable weaknesses is information overload. This encompasses all of her abilities due to the strain on her mind when processing the information required with new skills, knowledge and abilities. Too much new information in a short period of time can lead to Charlie becoming disorientated or slip into a painful migraine. At other times, she can almost become drunk off of information, slurring her speech in addition to being disorientated or even giddy. The further she pushes herself, the more unfocused she becomes or worse, delusional, bordering on hysteria, pending the information and skills absorbed.[/i] [B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ REPLICATED WEAKNESSES |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Far out of Charlie's control is the fact that all replicated abilities come with their own sets of weakness and limitations. These weaknesses and limitations are replicated along with the beneficial aspects of each ability thus giving Charlie new vulnerabilities each time she takes on a new power. The greatest downfall of this, is that Charlie, will more often than not, but unaware of her new limitations and thus be at a disadvantage against the original user provided the weaknesses can be exploited without affecting the original host.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=SLATEGRAY][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]▼ N O T E S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][CENTER][img]http://i.imgur.com/nretJWW.gif[/img] [sup][color=silver]"I do this so no one else has to know what it's like to be comforted by an officer."[/color][/sup][/center][indent][b][color=CADETBLUE]//SUPPORTING CAST:[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]▼ ALLIES[/COLOR][/B] [indent][B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]TBD |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Test[/i][/indent] [B][COLOR=SILVER]▼ FRIENDS[/COLOR][/B] [indent][B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]TBD |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Test[/i][/indent] [B][COLOR=SILVER]▼ ENEMIES[/COLOR][/B] [indent][B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]TBD |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Test[/i][/indent][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//STOMPING GROUNDS[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ TBD |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Test[/i][/indent] [b][color=CADETBLUE]//PARAPHERNALIA[/color][/b] [indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ TBD |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Test[/i][/indent][/indent]
