Genetic Manipulator is done. Not my best profile since I wrote in stages, but hope its good. If changes need to be made, I can make them.

Her body is rather skinny, focusing more on muscle mass over say, what makes her attractive to one sex or the other. Her hair is green, going down past her shoulders generally, and has a pale skin tone, mixed with green eyes. She bears no markings, no imperfections, not even anything non-organic inserted where piercings could go. There's reasons for that.[/indent] ▼ [b]| ATTIRE : |[/b] [indent]Unremarkable, she tends to wear loose, baggy clothing, when not at least in a lab coat or other clothing that works for her. She wears baggy and loose clothing to hide the usage of her power, as its much easier to modify parts of your body if its not readily apparent that say, something is growing bigger or smaller or if more muscles are being introduced into the mix. Also helps hide any weapons she carries around.[/indent] [/indent] [center][h3][b]⫸ P S Y C H O L O G Y ⫷[/b][/h3] [i]"Be good to other people, but don't be afraid to have fun."[/i][/center] [indent] [b]▼ | PERSONALITY TRAITS : | [/b] [indent]Intelligent, kind, social, considerate, thoughtful, decent work ethic, fun loving.[/indent] [b]▼ | SKILLS : | [/b] [indent]Basic to Advanced Knowledge of Chemistry, genetics, biology, anatomy, and geology(for some reason). Basic self defense training Basic tactical planning knowledge Average coding skills[/indent] [b]▼ | BACK STORY : | [/b] [indent]There's always the one person who laughs or jokes around about how awesome it would be if they could fly, have super strength, ro any variety of superhero powers. Josephine wasn't one of them. Born to a pretty normal family, her parents were both scientists working for a government thinktank, and well, Josephine wasn't going to be any different. She developed an early interest in the life sciences, and by the time she'd gotten into college, she'd begun interning with the proper parties, and when she was out, she was attached to a government thinktank examining the effects of the different power types on a person's biology, and ways to see if powers could be replicated at the genetic level. They were rather close to making a big break through, when the accident happened. No one knows what happened really, but something went wrong, and when Josephine came to in the ruins of the lab, along with a few others, it was clear she had changed not long after. Kinda hard to miss accidentally changing race visibly. From an English woman to an Asian, and back again soon after. It wasn't too long before FAMA picked her up, and placed her in isolation, to study what had happened. Once it was determined she was a Type-Yellow, and had a basic enough grasp of her power to not cause mass havoc, she was turned loose, and given some funding in form of a grant to use her power to do more research. And well, one thing led to another, and she began to go down a path that no one could have expected. As a child, she'd always liked dinosaurs, and what kid wouldn't jump at the chance to revive one? And, just like a certain corporation in a certain film series, she succeeded. After what was months of testing, using both computers, and her own powers, she revived her first dinosaur. Of course, something just had to go wrong, raptors are a lot smarter than people think. Somehow, the raptor escaped the lab, and that brings us to the present. A mix of worry for her creations safety, and fear for how the board would react to what she'd done, Josephine threw her things into the simple pickup she owned, and using a rather simple cover of "I need DNA samples from the Everglades" set off chasing her creation. A chase that has led her around and around, until it seems the rather smart raptor went to ground in Charity Beach...hopefully no one dies from the raptor, right?

Such as making a person who looks English look Asian, or have a better looking body. Additionally, via absorbing the DNA of other lifeforms, changes can be made to the user or the target's biology, via applying the DNA of the other lifeform. This can include something as simple as improved eye sight, to increased jumping strength, down to more extreme changes like gaining fur or scales, or the voice box of the given lifeform. With enough time and research, genetic splicing can be done, to create new and unique lifeforms. DNA can be extracted from living or recently deceased lifeforms.[/indent] [b]▼ | LIMITS : | [/b] [indent]Josephine can only apply one aspect of a given DNA sub-set to herself, and while she can apply other sub-sets at the same time, the more she has runs the risk of a burnout, where her body rejects all extra DNA, and may force her into a bind. She cannot change a person's DNA at range, she must be in physical contact, the time required changing based on the changes being made. She also has to wait, and take upwards of an hour or more to change herself, to make sure that any form shifting is perfect. Can't have a person discovering a patch of skin that's the wrong color.[/indent] [b]▼ | WEAKNESSES : | [/b] [indent]Genetic manipulation, while a scientific power, is not exact. It takes intense amounts of concentration and focus, meaning that this power cannot be used to its fullest extent if the user is under emotional stress, distracted, or otherwise impaired. Improper usage can cause mutations to occur that are unwanted and may cost valuable time to fix. Since buffs granted are temporary unless extensive time is taken to make them lasting, DNA sub-sets have to be used carefully, to avoid problems.[/indent] [/indent] [center][h3][b]⫸ O T H E R ⫷[/b][/h3] [i]"Cats are adorable and so sweet. Dogs on the other hand, are a genetic user's worst nightmare."[/i][/center] [indent]Josephine owns a lot of DNA sub-sets, ranging from the more logical(like a cat's DNA to see better at night), to the more bizarre(she has Zebra DNA for some odd reason). She keeps them safely stored in a climate controlled device issued to her by FAMA.[/indent][/hider]
