She didn't choose the 'pale with thick eyeliner' look for aesthetic purposes, but to hide the signs of her past that were prevailant on her face. Her fatigue. Her lack of sleep as a result of years of nightmares. The telltale signs of being a former junkie. All things she wants to hide from the world. Her eyes have always been a naturally vivid grey, which aid with her look. Her hair had always been to limp and mousey to maintain well, so when it came time to care about her appearance, she got it cut short, and to a style that fit her new ensemble. She didn't choose anything overtly 'gothic' in her wardrobe as that was not who she was, or what was comfortable to wear. This she wears sweaters, cardigans, vest tops and either jeans or skirts. When it comes to footwear, there are no rules, though if she's wearing a skirt, she will probably wear boots.[/indent][/color] [sub][b] Personality[/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [INDENT][color=black]Natalie is a quiet, frail individual, who shies away from conversations but never comes off as rude or reclusive. She always gives the impression that she wants to talk to you but can't. Though she enjoys her own company in the sancturay of home, and her hobbies, she misses the feeling of allowing herself to be part of a group. Whenever there's a group at work who want to go out, or go to a party, she will join them and follow at a distance. While her friends will pick up boys, Natalie is not not fully over her first boyfriend, and as such is not back on the dating scene just yet. At heart, Natalie is, and has always been, a kind person, who could never bring herself to hurt an innocent person. She likes to think this is still who she is, but her traumatic experiences, as well as her powers, have changed her. She no longer knows exactly how kind she still is, so fearfully avoids ever being in a situation where she might have to find out. Again. She has been officially diagnosed with PTSD and psychotic episodes but Natalie knows that her problems are bigger than that, and more dangerous that that. Natalie would like nothing more than to be a Hero, but she hasn't out of fear she will become a Villian.[/color][/INDENT] [/cell][/row][/table][/color][color=silver][sub][b] Character Synopsis[/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [color=black][indent]Natalie Ellis was born in a rough area in the outskirts of Santa Celia, to parents with gang connections, and made friends with bad sorts at school. That’s not to say she had no chance to ever lead a wholesome and successful life, but it is unarguable she started life with a bum hand. By the time she was in high school, she was already involved heavily in drug dealing, and drug use. She was kicked out of school at 16 and from then on spent most of her time around her 20 year old boyfriend and his gang. Things did not necessarily go well, but her life was stable enough to spend the next five years in this status quo, but that was when she first started to notice the emergence of both Heroes, and Villains. Suddenly, the game changed. Heroes wanted to catch you. Villains either wanted to recruit you or kill you. Criminals without powers wanted to change things, but only the rich ones could try. They began to conduct scientific tests and experiments, capturing weaker Superheroes or super-powered criminals, and trying to find out how they were born the way they were and how to replicate it. Natalie knew nothing of this, at least during its early stages. She just kept on struggling with her boyfriend and his gang. This wasn’t to last. One day, when she was twenty four, a member of their gang sold them all out to a powerful crime boss who needed test subjects. In the struggle to capture then, two of their gang were shot. To this day, Natalie doesn’t know the fate of any of them besides her boyfriend. He was the first the experimental procedure to give somebody powers was tested on. He died screaming. She had to watch. When it was eventually Natalie’s turn, she tried to fight, but with her skinny frame, was powerless to resist. To this day she doesn’t know what the experiment procedure entailed, as she passed out from fear before it started, and came back to her senses when it was over, several weeks later, which passed by like a single night's bad dream for her. Over the next few days, as they ran test over test on her, the mood was jubilant, and she was deemed a success. 'Project Lion', she heard them call this sick ordeal, though she also heard the names 'Project Goat' and 'Project Snake' tossed around, which were obviously references to other experiments going on in other sites. As she was being transported between facilities for more testing, Natalie tried to resist and found that she could break free. The discovery of her newfound strength, coupled with the psychological damage from her ideal, were an explosive mixture. The crew in that truck were massacred. The next day, there was a massacre at that lab. The crime boss was found dead in his office several days after that, looking like he'd been hit by multiple wrecking balls. What was born from this incident wasn't a Hero at all. Nowadays, Natalie is trying to live the quiet life. She works at a fast food restaurant. She keeps her powers under control in public, and the only thing that makes her stand out among her peers is how much of a broken loner she is. They suspect drugs or a rough childhood had something to do with it, and, well, they're not wrong.[/indent][/color] [sub][b] Abilities & Skills[/b][/sub] [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [INDENT][sub][b]//Abiliites:[/b][/sub] [INDENT][COLOR=BLACK][b][i]Super Strength[/i][/b] | There are two key, complimentary factors that make up Natalie’s power as a whole. One is that she has incredible, superhuman muscle strength. She is able to lift cars above her head with ease, and punch through inches of reinforced steel. The other is related to this, and allows her use her powers without causing injury to herself. She has very strong reinforced bones that can withstand the impact of her own feats of strength. Without this ability, punching a brick wall would likely break her arm. With it, she could jump twenty stories and land with no damage to her legs, or stop a moving car with her bare hands.[/COLOR] [COLOR=BLACK][b][i]Limitation(s)[/i][/b] | Natalie can comfortably exert enough force to lift 1.5 tons, and can lift 2 tons at a struggle. Her punching and kicking strength are a reflection of this, though she has never tested them to max as the skin on her hands and feet is not any more durable than regular people's. She can easily punch through a brick wall but it would hurt her hand and bloody her knuckles. Her bones can withstand a force of also two tons, not including the force of her muscles acting in an opposite way to the incoming force. If she were to attempt to catch something weighing four tons or more, her bones would break from the impact. Her stamina is decent and ordinary, as she was and still is a recreational jogger. Nevertheless, she has not trained her body for prolonged periods of intense physical strain, so if she were to fight somebody capable of going toe to toe with her from either strength or skill, and they had trained their body for the strain, she would be at a disadvantage on the stamina front, and would run out of breath before them.[/COLOR] [COLOR=BLACK][b][i]Weakness(es)[/i][/b] | Natalie is not just an ordinary human besides her muscles and bones, she's of a more frail build than normal. This makes her perhaps more vulnerable than the average person to bruising, internal damage, and any attack that ignores her bone strength, such as being shot or stabbed. She also has ordinary reflexes, and a complete lack of combat expertise, skill, or talent. If she can't rely on her strength alone to win a fight with a more skilled opponent, she will lose unless she can find a lucky opening.[/COLOR][/INDENT] [sub][b]//Skills:[/b][/sub] [INDENT][COLOR=BLACK][b][i]Painting[/i][/b] | Natalie got into painting as it could calm her and keep her occupied and relaxed, or it could allow her to let off steam and unload some baggage, depending on the tone of the piece. He has gotten rather good with practice, and some of her finished paintings have been sold privately for up to $500[/COLOR][/INDENT] [INDENT][COLOR=BLACK][b][i]Cooking[/i][/b] | Living on her own, Natalie has to both feed herself, and find an interest with which to pass the time. It's no surprise that she had developed a passion for cooking delicious meals.[/COLOR][/INDENT] [INDENT][COLOR=BLACK][b][i]Piano Playing & Singing[/i][/b] | Natalie, one day, after watching a televised piano concert, decided to learn the piano, so she used some of her saved-up wages to by a keyboard, and taught herself from scratch. She later bought a mic, and started to upload videos of herself covering ballads. Her channel has become modestly popular.[/COLOR][/INDENT][/INDENT][/color][/hider]
