Here is a quick rundown of our antagonists for the Happiness arc

[quote][h3][color=dodgerblue]♦ The Boyz ♦[/color][/h3][hr]
[indent]A gang of outcasts and freaks that the city didn't want, forming their own gang. The Boyz are a gang of drug dealers and other petty criminals that have a pretty large presence in Charity Beach. They are not racist in their recruitment as they have people from all races in their ranks and their leader wants outcasts, whatever they are. Their gang is primarily comprised of crazy drug addicts but some teenagers and other folks have taken to their philosophy and joined their gang. Their gang symbol is a smiley face a big toothy grin and the eyes crossed out with X's. The Boys modus operandi is to get rich by selling drugs and become the biggest force in the city for the downtrodden. Their leader is Joy-Boy, a Metahuman with an unknown ability, and he maintains a loose leadership through his three generals (or "Dragons" as he calls them). He asserts that every member of the Boyz proves themselves before they may join, and once they are an official and trusted member they get a mask of their own creation - usually a smiley face. They were a pretty small-time gang/fad until they started distributing the Happiness drug and were able to quickly expand territory. The Boyz now have a large chunk of the city under their control and it's getting larger with more Metahumans joining their ranks. FAMA, the CPPD, and other law enforcement is preparing to move in on The Boyz, but Joyboy has prepared for war.[/indent][/quote]


Now is a good time to start planning on your characters and what they will do during the Happiness Crisis. For example, Kashmira will be aiding addicts in her hospital and trying to figure out what tf is going on. I am also going to work on a relationship sheet so we can work out any existing relationships.


Also I dropped Sierra to replace her with a brand new character

[color=darkcyan]▼ [b]| PHYSICAL   DESCRIPTION : |[/b] [/color]
[indent]The young explosively energetic woman is Amanda Blackmore, who usually walks with a skip to her step and is willing to strike a pose on the dot. Yeah, it's easy to tell from her demeanor that she's a drama queen. Much like her older brother, Drake; she is a ball of energy, but her energy is more childish. She's very easily excitable and doesn't try too hard to hide her emotions. Now, in terms of Amanda's body-type, she is very skinny and well-toned with the body of a gymnast - because she is one. Her body is kept fit through stretches and other exercises such as jogging and hitting the gym. She worked hard for her flat stomach. She has an hour-glass build with wide hips but a thin waist. She doesn't know how she does it, but she has quite a big chest at 38F and a nice butt she got from hitting the gym. It's like what far that she should have goes straight where it matters. Amanda doesn't have any bulging muscles, however, and that's one thing that she works on. Amanda has plenty of scars from gymnast related injuries and other such events. Amanda has a couple of tattoos, that she has gotten recently. On her right shoulder [url=https://img.myloview.com/murals/asian-dragon-tattoo-400-34306.jpg]she has a dragon[/url] that goes all the way down to her elbow. Right in between her breasts [url=http://tattoooideas.com/wp-content/uploads/parser/Twitches-Sun-And-Moon-Tattoo-Designs-1.jpg]she has the tattoo of a sun and moon[/url]. Right on her back, that encompasses her entire back, [url=https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/line-thai-fire-design-tattoo-japanese-fire-tattoo-background-line-thai-vector-set-line-thai-fire-tattoo-hand-drawn-red-120833403.jpg]is a tattoo of flaming wings.[/url] Finally, she has a tattoo of [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a6/17/5d/a6175dd99e629f0d38801487dba7daf5.jpg?b=t]a phoenix on her left shoulder.[/url] In terms of race; Amanda is part British and part Japanese, with her father supplying the British, and her mother giving her the Japanese. She leans on her father's side of the family looking no different from a regular white woman at first glance until you look at her eyes. They are somewhat slanted, but she still identifies as a Caucasian woman. Her hair is a black color and it's straight, she keeps it in a long ponytail.[/indent]

[color=darkcyan][b]▼ |  SKILLS : | [/b][/color]
[indent][indent]

[color=darkcyan][b]Gymnastics Champion  ⫻[/b][/color] Since Amanda was young, she competed in gymnastic competitions and came home with several awards for doing so. She's extremely nimble, flexible, has exceptional balance, and looks good in a leotard. Though, she hasn't practiced or participated in a gymnastics tournament in God knows how long, she practiced so hard that the skills that she has learned stick.

[color=darkcyan][b]Automechanic  ⫻[/b][/color] Amanda always had a thing for fast cars and that reflected in her career choice. Amanda learned how to work on cars from one of her friends and eventually took classes in the field and was officially certified. She knows how to field diagnose cars and can even fix cars on the fly provided that she has the parts (and even if she doesn't, she has Macgyvered before).

[color=darkcyan][b]Roller-Skater  ⫻[/b][/color] Amanda loves to roller-skate, even in her adult years. Even though it's a childish activity, she likes to roller-skate down the streets of Black Fall. She would love to roller-skate in Charity Beach.

[color=darkcyan][b]Guitarist  ⫻[/b][/color] It's probably her weakest skill, but Amanda has taken guitar classes, and knows how to play a few songs but don't expect her to be a master at it.

[/indent][/indent]

[color=darkcyan][b]▼ | BACK   STORY : | [/b][/color]
[indent]Amanda has a similar backstory to her older brother Drake; their father, Adam, was a British immigrant who fled the nation due to hostilities towards Metahumans and met his love, Lisa Fujimoto, and the two fell in love and started the family. First came Victoria, then Drake, then yours truly, and then Charles. Adam was a high-ranking member of RAVEN when it was around, considered to be the best, and made sure the Blackmores could live comfortably. And out of all the Blackmores she was probably the closest to their father, and she always considered herself daddy's little girl. She was always going to him for questions and asking him for guidance and she was the one that was hit the hardest when he had to go away for his RAVEN missions. Of course, this meant that Amanda fell into spirals of depression when he was gone. For comfort, Amanda went to sweets and other such goods, in order to make it easier and what happened was that she gained a lot of weight throughout the years. She was mocked and bullied throughout school for being so overweight, that she was almost afraid to go out.

Of course, she wasn't alone, she had the support of her many siblings that helped her get through school but she wanted more. She wanted to improve herself and lose this weight, so that's what she did. She lost the weight through exercise and eating right... in addition taking up gymnastics. It was originally something that her gym teacher suggested that'd help her lose weight, that she immediately took up as a passion. Amanda saw it as something that came naturally to her as riding a bike, and even though she was overweight, she loved it. Once she lost all of her weight in about a year, she decided to take it seriously. She forgone social events to practice either alone or at the gym, and because of that dedication she came home with trophy after trophy. Even if she didn't win, she gained the motivation to win.

What she didn't realize was that she was the second Blackmore, surprisingly enough, to actually manisfest an ability. Without the need for a traumatic event or somewhat to occur. The first power she received was telekinesis, that she received from her other sister Victoria, whom jokingly hit her with a book using telekinesis. Suddenly, Amanda could move stuff with her mind and found it seriously friggin cool! THe first thing that Amanda did was dick around with it, pulling pranks on people throughout her school. Mainly picking on her gymnast rival from school, but after Victoria warned her that she could lose all of her trophies if it got out, she decided to stop.

After moving up to high school she met her sweetheart, Matthew Detmer, and suddenly everything changed for her. She got to know him, and they started hanging out, starting out as friends but the more they hung out the more Amanda realized that she had growing affections for him. One day, she decided to let it all out and admit that she had feelings for him that he returned. Though, it was difficult for Amanda to balance gymnastics, which she was still very passionate about, and her relationship with Matt. What threw another wrench in her home life was her relationship with her cousin, Nikki. You see, Lisa wasn't the only Fujimoto, there was also Pamela who went on to marry a man named Kota Watanabe and birth two children, Micheal and Nikki Watanabe. Due to the strained relationship between Lisa and Pamela, the two families rarely met, but Amanda was the only one with a close tie to their family, namely Nikki.

The two hung out a lot, even though they were completely opposite people and eventually Nikki manifested with the Chromatic ability to telepathically dominate insects and alter their biology. Nikki told Amanda about her vigilante adventures all over Black Fall, and Amanda found that so friggin' cool! Out of impulse, Amanda went along with Nikki on one of these adventures and... it didn't go super well. They ran into a Metahuman criminal known as the Desert Scorpion who had an ability that rendered him almost entirely immune to both Nikki and Amanda's abilities. He could not only transform into a powerful scorpion with a shell hard enough to render him immune to Nikki's insects, but also could transform the area into a scorching hot desert. The second he activated his latter ability, he managed to track them down [i]and[/i] he attack them. The only saving grace was that Amanda was able to copy his power so she was immune to his ability to turn the place into a desert.

The Desert Scorpion fled when FAMA showed up, but the two girls were taken into FAMA custody and were in the hospital for a few days. However, after explaining what happened; both of them were outed as Metahumans. And, as Victoria anticipated, it spelled the death of Amanda's gymnastic career. Nikki almost got thrown in jail due to this, but Adam pulled a few strings and managed to get them off easy. However, while Amanda got off easy, she was crushed by how furious Adam was upon hearing about what her daughter was doing. She disappointed daddy, and would do anything to make it up to him! Which involved going to Academy 002 in Alaska and learning how to use her powers with the rest of the Blackmore siblings. Thus, they had the time of their lives up there, meeting some of the best friends they could ever have. Learning the specifics of her power was nice, but the best part was that Academy 002 had a gymnastics team!

But, the Verthaven Disaster occurred and they learned that Adam was in the thick of it. Amanda hoped that Adam would make it out alive, but then it blew over and she learned that... Adam died in the disaster. Amanda was crushed by the events and was mentally wounded so badly that she had retreated into her dorm room for several days. Eventually, Amanda went back to Black Fall to properly grieve. Adam's funeral was the saddest day she ever had. 

Around this time, the Blackmore siblings drifted apart. Victoria and Charles went on to college, Drake remained in Black Fall to sulk until he joined FAMA, and Amanda, well... after she finished the program and got her diploma she didn't know where to go. She remained in the Blackmore estate as she decided to try to move on past Adam's death and try to get a degree... but then that didn't work out too well. She then decided to go out live her early twenties to the fullest, and went out partying and doing other such things. Amanda's closest friend during these times was, again, Nikki Watanabe, and they decided to brave this brave new world without Adam together. 

The gym became an outlet for Amanda, or a distraction, where she relieved all of those bad emotions that she built up over the years. After signing up for a gym not too far away from the estate, it quickly became a second home for Amanda. She got the rockin' bod that she always wanted, and then some, and enjoyed the looks from the horny guys.

Eventually, Amanda and Nikki got in touch with a girl named Nakala Phillips, a Metahuman they met in the Academy that became an automotive mechanic after passing. She was a "flying brick" so to speak, with the ability of super strength, durability, and flight, which Amanda copied quite a few times. Nakala was Amanda's closet friend while in the Program and eventually became the third member of their group of friends, and became the inspiration for Amanda's career choice. Fast cars was always something that Amanda liked, and so Nakala imparted much knowledge onto Amanda about vehicles and how they worked. It was about time for Amanda to get a job, because the money was drying up, while Drake was sending money to keep the Blackmore Estate, there was a need for Amanda to get her own. Eventually, Amanda took the classes and officially became a mechanic in the Phillips automotive garage. It was surprisingly fun, even though she had to endure casual sexism from customers - she thinks she looks sexy in overalls, though. 

The routine went well, but eventually, it was time for Amanda's vacation. She heard that Matthew got a house in Charity Beach, so that's exactly where she went.[/indent]

[color=darkcyan][b]▼ | POWER   CLASSIFICATION : | [/b][/color]
[indent]Type-Green[/indent]

[color=darkcyan][b]▼ | POWER   DESCRIPTION : | [/b][/color]
[i]Reactionary Power-Replication.[/i]
[indent]Amanda has the famed Blackmore power replication ability, and like the other Blackmores she has a different form of it. Her version, known as reactionary power replication, allows her to copy powers of anyone who uses their power on them via absorbing a sample of the Metahuman energy present. For example, if she was thrown across the room by somebody with super strength she'd copy it, if a telekinetic or earthbender hit her with a rock she'd get telekinesis, or if someone with telepathy read her mind she'd gain telepathy. Whenever she copies a power her Metahuman energy will glow corresponding with the color of the power-type she just copied. She can control whether or not she wants to copy a power by merely willing it, and due to her training at 002, she won't copy powers she doesn't want. The power will mutate somewhat when she gets it, so she'll get a slightly or significantly different version of the power. Amanda only has the ability to store one power at a time, and the second she copies another power she'll lose the currently store.

[indent][i]Flying Brick.[/i]
[indent]A power that Amanda got from her friend Nakala, a Metahuman whom FAMA stated to be one of the strongest in Black Fall. Fortunately, Nakala has no interest beyond living her life and being an automotive mechanic. Nakala has gifted her friend Amanda her power on a variety of different occassions so Amanda knows how to use it somewhat. The power is simple, Amanda has durability, super strength, and flight, and is functionally superman at his basest level. The strongest ability has to be her durability since Amanda's cells down to the bones and skin are reinforced to the point where she could get hit with an attack that would kill her and she'd still get back up and tank small arms. This strength extends to her muscles, with her muscles being able to exert supernatural amounts of force, and allows her to lift up 750lb without straining herself and a thousand pounds at most. Finally, Amanda has the ability to fly, granted to her from the ability to use telekinesis on herself. She's able to propel herself through the air superman style and when she grabs objects this telekinetic field wraps around it - allowing her to lift up objects without having to worry about them falling apart.[/indent][/indent]

[/indent]

[color=darkcyan][b]▼ | LIMITS : | [/b][/color]
[indent]Amanda, upon copying a power, has nary a clue as to how to even use it. She doesn't prefer powers that are complicated and enjoys the most straight forwards she can find. While she can choose not to copy a power, if she's hit by surprise by a power she's not aware of she'd still copy it. This is because she has to be aware and actively resisting the attempt to copy the power. In addition, there's a large number of powers that she totally can't copy at all, as she can't copy powers that only operate on a personal level. Which means regeration and such powers are out of the ballpark for her. In addition, she can only copy one power at a time.

As for the limits to her flying brick power Unless she throws something, Amanda will be restricted to close ranged combat. While she's strong, she's still limited by her stamina. Excessively lifting objects places a strain onto Amanda, like average humans her muscles will tire out after doing a lot of work. It's rather easy for her to overexert herself and burn out. Fighting at full strength isn't exactly ideal. While Amanda is tough as nails, she still feels pain and punching too hard can hurt her hand. Her durability mostly prevents physical attacks from hurting her, elemental (Specifically Energy based) attacks are effective against her. Getting set on fire isn't pleasant (Her blood might boil!), electricity would knock her out, and etc. And, you know, she still needs air.[/indent]

[color=darkcyan][b]▼ | WEAKNESSES : | [/b][/color]
[indent]The primary weakness of Amanda is that, even if she's copying powers that are used on her, they still hurt. If she was set on fire by a pyromancer she'd still be burned before copying their power. If Amanda is badly beaten enough she'd lose her power and she'd have to start over again. Other than that, she gets the weaknesses of the original, too. In the case of Nakala's power, she's not familiar with the ability as Nakala is, and doesn't quite know her own strength. That doesn't bother Amanda when she's fighting but it's a pain in the ass when you rip the door off its hinges for the nineteenth time in a week. When Amanda uses her strength, then she has the likelihood of tearing up her bodily tissues. Which hurts and is not something she wants to do in a fight. It would also cause plenty of joint pain, and impair her healing. Amanda also doesn't have the best balance, throwing a roundhouse kick is just as likely to knock herself over. Finally, muscle is pretty heavy, and it adds to her weight and it makes her a lot heavier than most people and thus makes the whole stealth thing a lot harder.[/indent]
