[/indent][/indent] [color=Royalblue]▼ [b]| PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : |[/b] [/color] [indent]Drake definitely carries a youthful and energetic aura around him. He's ready for anything exciting to go down, and his movements are quick and spastic, he can't seem to hold down all of that energy within him. Though, the kind of acts like a model (a goofy) model as he's prone to making melodramatic poses, almost as if someone is taking a picture of him. It's kind of weird. Though he does have a great well-shaped body from years upon years of athletism and bodybuilding, and if you ask he will gladly remove his shirt and flex. He's very well-built, and the body that he has complemented his body-shape well, though I will say his legs are the most defined because Drake was a runner before anything else. In terms of height, he isn't anything special being around the average height for a Caucasian male, and his build isn't super stocky nor bony. Speaking of Caucasian, Drake is British and Japanese, but you wouldn't be able to tell given that he looks one-hundred percent white other than the fact that his eyes are slanted. His skin is coated with a variety of different scars from the fact that he is a bit of a rough player when he plays sports. His elbows are shit because he fell on them a lot, his knees are covered in nasty scabs, and knuckles are scarred and bruised from fist fighting. His teeth are also very shitty because he's missing a few [i]and[/i] he should have gone to the dentist more. Regardless, the Blackmore Family have great genes.[/indent] [color=royalblue]▼ [b]| ATTIRE : |[/b][/color] [indent]Drake Blackmore here is a connoisseur of jackets! His favorite hobby is finding a cool ass jacket and flaunting it, his favorite being leather jackets. Unfortunately, the school's in South Carolina, which is the one place where he can't wear his favorite jackets. Which sucks, since Drake isn't a summer person. He dresses pretty simply wearing jeans or shorts and a t-shirt with a jacket. He doesn't do the whole accessory thing, except for sunglasses and his gloves. Because of his power, Drake makes it a habit to cover as much of his skin as possible so he doesn't do any accidental power copying. When it's in the blistering summer heat, well, his options are quite limited. However, Drake always goes out in public wearing gloves of some sort. Sometimes black gloves, other times, leather gloves. [/indent] [/indent] [center][color=Royalblue][h3][b]⫸ P S Y C H O L O G Y ⫷[/b][/h3][/color] [i]"...

Many people settle on terms such as "stupid", "jackass", and "egotistical". He likes to call himself confident to a fault because that's all he exumes, pure confidence and energy that'd get him through the toughest of all times. This confidence and energy of his has gotten him into plenty of trouble because he doesn't know when to stop and he let it become arrogance. However, Drake was raised in a very moral household where the Blackmore siblings were taught concepts like kindness and compassion. While the kid is an arrogant jackass he still has the best interest in heart for everyone around him and wants to help people anyway he can. And that's one thing he's passionate about. Yeah, he has a hero complex. However, the death of his father only a few years ago has certainly gotten to Drake. He wonders what's the point of doing anything and is really starting to realize he's a little fish in a really big pond. [color=Royalblue][b]▼ | SKILLS : | [/b][/color] [indent][indent] [color=Royalblue][b]Basketball ⫻[/b][/color] Growing up, Drake was the star of his basketball team... at least when he played it. He played a ton of basketball either officially for his school or just on the streets, and he was pretty good at it. He often practices shots while in FAMA's gym to relieve stress, but even he realizes that he's out of his element. [color=Royalblue][b]Hand-to-Hand Combat ⫻[/b][/color] Drake was always a trouble-starting shithead, and fights were pretty easy to come across in his home-town - He's a pretty good scrapper even without any martial arts training. Though, he doesn't get into too many fist fights, especially when people sling superpowers around. [color=Royalblue][b]Social-Butterfly ⫻[/b][/color] Drake's pretty good when it comes to people, he's grown up his entire life being at the forefront of his family and getting to know a variety of different people. He knows how to deal with people and knows that a lot of problems can be solved by being a listening ear. He's very easy to make friends out of people - which helps a lot during FAMA work. [color=Royalblue][b]Metahumans ⫻[/b][/color] Drake Blackmore, due to being a Blackmore, has tons of experiences and knowledge about Metahumans to draw upon. He knows about how Metahumans began, and how they function, that isn't much of an advantage in FAMA, but he pretty much instinctively knows how to deal with a lot of different Metahumans. [/indent][/indent] [color=Royalblue][b]▼ | BACK STORY : | [/b][/color] [indent]So to begin, I have to explain the backstory of someone else before I get to Drake. So Drake's father was Adam Blackmore, a British Metahuman that was alive during Delta-Storm and was one of the few to be infected with the Type-Green energy and gained the ability to copy Metahuman powers. He could observe them in action and gain instinctive knowledge of their powers and copy it by observing it. After Britain had a less than desirable reaction to the Metahumans Adam and his family fled to the states and that was where Adam met Drake's mother Lisa Takahashi, a Japanese woman born in the states. They eloped got married, and then eventually started having kids. Victoria was the first of their children, then Drake came second, then Drake's younger sister Amanda, then Charles was the last. Of course, Adam wasn't just any British dude in the US, he joined KINGFISHER around the time he came to America and became one of their best Agents. He was known as the most powerful and greatest KINGFISHER agents with the callsign known as All-Father, and he was responsible for many victories against hostile Metahumans and REAPER. He was pretty high up in the organization and that meant massive paychecks so the younger Blackmores could live in relative harmony. The family lived in Black Fall, the city of freaks, in a nice little house in the middle of the woods that they would sarcastically call "The Blackmore Estate." Lisa Blackmore, their mother, was the one that stayed at home taking care of the Blackmore children and making sure they don't end up going crazy (Eventually she manifested her own aerokinetic ability). Living in Black Fall wasn't easy, especially when you are Drake Blackmore who was the more rambunctious of the Blackmores. He was just a ball of energy that he carried into his adulthood and had that competitive spark inside of him. That didn't just translate well to sports, but it also meant that Drake wanted to go out and have adventures in Black Fall. Which was what he did, he went out and had fun getting to know the kids their age in Black Fall. As he grew up, he learned about the various groups in Black Fall and made friends with some, enemies with others. Though naturally, he had the potential to manifest an ability, and he was exposed to the Type-Yellow energy (from an animal-meta he met as a kid) in addition to being born exposed to both the Green energy from his father. Drake was one of the very few people capable of manifesting a triple chromatic ability. His manifestation, unlike others, was fairly quiet and he didn't realize that he had his power until one day he brushed up against his mother while she was cooking and became a wind-elemental. A being that was part boy, and part raging tornado... naturally, Drake freaked out and lost control of his powers. It took the combined efforts of both Lis and his older, experienced, sister Victoria to contain Drake and get him under control. They immediately contacted Adam, who immediately contacted FAMA and they registered Drake and tested him for his abilities. They learned that he could copy the powers of Metahumans upon contact, and takes on a form-based off of it. Drake was the last of the Blackmore siblings to actually manifest and the possibilities were endless. Throughout the years, he has used various different powers during his adventures. Though, one day he learned that Adam went to Verthaven to face off against REAPER, and then the disaster occurred. The whole family was praying for Adam, but when the smoke cleared... it was reported that Adam Blackmore was dead. Drake was absolutely demolished by the news to the point where he was a shattered shell of his former self. The news of his father's death changed Drake from a happy-go-lucky bruiser to a more colder person - it made him far more serious. Around this time, the Blackmore Siblings were sent t different academies, it was Adam's last wish before he went to Verthaven and they were cleared to go. Drake himself was sent to Academy 003.

When Drake touches a Metahuman he copies a bit of their Metahuman energy and transforms into an embodiment of that power so to speak. The best way to describe this would be through example; if he touched a pyrokinetic he'll be covered in fire and be able to shoot flames. If he touches a metal manipulator he'll be a walking statue. If he touches a telekinetic he'd become an amorphous telekinetic storm. Or turn into a meaty muscular thing if he gets super strength. He can get a unique form for any type of power. Due to the nature of his ability, when Drake copies a power it mutates as in it changes in function so Drake may have abilities that the original does not. It's less of copying powers themselves, but instead copying their [i]element[/i], if that makes it any clearer. He has, first and foremost, worked out that he can selectively transform parts of his body. The transformation will be a lot weaker than if he had transformed completely, but it's quicker and more subtle. Oddly enough, Drake has learned that he can also incorporate his outfits into certain transformations and it prevents him from destroying his outfits every time he transforms. Drake is capable of storing powers within himself, however, he's limited to two powers at a time - once he copies the third power he must abandon the oldest one. Here are the powers that Drake has stored: [indent][i]Electric-Form.[/i] [indent]Drake's preferred form he got from Black Fall, and it's the form he's the best at using. Upon activating his ability, he'll be covered from head to toe in a wreath of electricity and he'll be able to shoot all that energy off in a variety of different forms. Starting with a stream, to a complete bolt of electricity that'll fry even the strongest of all Metahumans. Drake also has the ability to fly while in this form.[/indent] [/indent] [i]Form-Merging.[/i] [indent]A new advancement of his ability that Drake has been trying to work out and is on the verge of discovery. He's attempting to figure out a way to merge two forms together to create a powerful merged form... he hasn't quite figured it out yet but he's not sure if he'd be more powerful or less...[/indent] [color=Royalblue][b]▼ | LIMITS : | [/b][/color] [indent]Let me just get this out of the way; Drake doesn't know how to use an ability after he copies it, and will need time and training in order to utilize the power properly. Of course, due to the fact that he drops powers fast, he doesn't have the opportunity to really train or get acquainted with it and of course, someone else will get better at it. Which isn't helped by the fact that he will copy any ability that he's compatible with upon skin to skin contact, and he may lose his powerful form for a weaker one. Drake will also need some time to transform, and if ambushed he could easily be taken out before he even starts. Drake, once transformed, can remain in a form long as his stamina allows it, but he'll get tired from excessive usage of his ability. Drake's lightning form requires time for him to charge up to perform the really big tricks like the lightning bolt, so that leaves him open while he draws power. And after such a large feat he'll need to take some time off to recharge. He has a ten-meter limit to his electricity and any electricity that goes beyond that range will dissipate. Rubber and insulators also restrict his conductivity but that's unlikely to be an issue. Drake's amphibian form doesn't have any limits and has the power to end the universe![/indent] [color=Royalblue][b]▼ | WEAKNESSES : | [/b][/color] [indent]Drake inherits the weaknesses of the original power, so his replication [i]itself[/i] has no weaknesses. However, Drake's lightning form has a variety of weaknesses... primarily water. Any type of water will interrupt the flow of his electricity and prevent him from shooting lightning as he wants to. Even touching a puddle of water will direct his flow away from his target and to the puddle. Though, it logically won't last long as the heat will evaporate any small sources... he can't easily evaporate any larger sources. Getting drenched or submerged with water will knock him out of the form. Next weakness is lighting! His lightning powers are [i]bright[/i], bright enough to blind him for a few moments, and even fuck up his vision (there's a reason why he wears those goggles). It makes it difficult for him to keep track of enemies and could give people an easy way to escape or sneak an attack on him.[/indent] [/indent] [center][color=Royalblue][h3][b]⫸ O T H E R ⫷[/b][/h3][/color] [i]"...

[/indent][/indent] [color=Forestgreen]▼ [b]| PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : |[/b] [/color] [indent]It's not difficult to tell where Kashmira was born and raised. Her facial features and skin tone are distinctly featured from the Indian-sub continent (the southern area, of course), and she speaks with a [i]very[/i] thick Indian accent - however she dresses more "American" than a walking stereotype (that's only for special occasions). The girl seems to carry herself with caution in mind, she usually takes slow steps but most of all watch her step. She usually keeps her hands together in front of her, or at her sides. A lot of people get the idea that she's rather tense given the way that she carries herself and the fact that she's very easy to startle. It's not the case innately, but she unintentionally gives off that kind of impression. In terms of build, Kashmira is a very small girl at just an inch below five-feet due to genetics alone. The girl finds it easy for herself to get into small spaces but always find it incredibly hard to get noticed. She's extremely slim, bony, even due to a mixture of her diet and the fact that she tries to exercise every day so she gets plenty of exercises. She doesn't have a whole lot of muscle-tone nor does she have a lot of body fat, but what fat she does have is merely padding for the girl. She has some curves with 36Bs and some hips, but nothing that'd make heads turn. India is a very diverse place, and Kashmira has roots from the Keralite people (and other Indians mixed in but they're rather distant). Her skin tone is a little dark but nothing major and she has a very pronounced nose with a large nose ring, and her eyes are large and brown color - packing a striking gaze within them. Kashmira has long shoulder-length hair that's a dark brown color and is very well-maintained, and it's naturally a little wavy - she doesn't keep it in any style.[/indent] [color=forestgreen]▼ [b]| ATTIRE : |[/b][/color] [indent]Despite what you may think, Kashmira doesn't dress like a walking stereotype. She has a very modest style of dress but still uses brands that people her age wear. Out on Charity Beach, she doesn't get the opportunity to dress heavy, so she usually wears a shirt of modest length or sweat-shorts. Sometimes, Kashmira wears a shirt that shows a little cleavage, but she strays away from clothing that would reveal more. She's not a hat kind of woman, but she does sometimes wear a beanie when it's cold. Though, she has a wide selection of clothing from India that she wears during special occasions and holidays.

She is oddly kind and nice to people, as that was how the Sarais were taught to act in her family. To be the kindest compassionate people out there. And it shows in almost all of Kashmira's interactions with people. She isn't afraid to make the first move and talk to people about nearly anything. If it wasn't for the cultural differences it'd be easy for Kashmira to befriend anyone. Even without the cultural differences, she's a bit eccentric, very hard to read sometimes and follow her line of thought/speech. Kashmira was raised as a devout follower of Shaivism and has no intentions of changing that. She is a vegetarian and refuses to eat meat on the grounds of the said religion. She refuses to hurt people and is very passive - she'll only use violence as a last resort. Everything that Kashmira does is in service of her deity, Shiva and she looks to him as her mentor, her healer, and the key to her happiness. That isn't to say that she isn't a happy person, she is just eager to learn more and constantly grow and change - in addition to helping other people. She's a bit... naive, and very idealistic, some people say it's her biggest flaw but she sees it as her biggest strength. Her biggest flaw is how overwhelmingly stubborn she is, and how unflinching she is about her ideals.[/indent] [color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | SKILLS : | [/b][/color] [indent][indent] [color=forestgreen][b]Trilingual ⫻[/b][/color] Kashmira grew up in India all of her life, and thus the language that comes easiest to her is Gujarati, and you can find her speaking it on phones or accidentally slipping into it. However, Kashmira also took classes in Hindi and English, so she's fluent in both languages. [color=forestgreen][b]Cooking ⫻[/b][/color] Kashmira's mother taught her how to cook since she was young and by the time she was thirteen she was cooking meals for herself. It's helpful because Kashmira doesn't eat meat and she lives alone. She goes to pick up some ingredients and she's all set! [color=forestgreen][b]Dancing ⫻[/b][/color] Kashmira was taught to dance by her mother (and grandmother surprisingly enough) how to dance. Both her mother and her grandmother were amazing dancers and they passed on that skill to Kashmira. She hasn't had too many chances to strut her stuff, but she's been practicing and practices dancing by herself as a hobby. [/indent][/indent] [color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | BACK STORY : | [/b][/color] [indent]To begin, Kashmira was born in and grew up in India to two loving parents, but she had a twin sister Rashmika. Her family tree is quite complex because her grandparents had thirteen children, and she is just one of a legion of grandchildren. Growing up in Ahmedabad, life wasn't particularly hard for the girl, she grew up playing and hanging out with the other children and she was raised to be a devout following of Shaivism. Her early life wasn't particularly eventful other than the fact that she learned English and Hindi while in school for her to effectively communicate with other Indians. Life was going to as ordinary for the girl; she was going to grow up to become an amazing young woman that would strive to achieve Dharma. However, [i]it[/i] came to Ahmedabad, the Beast, they called it, Kasmira now realizes that the thing had shaped her modern life. A powerful Metahuman that had been rampaging across Europe and Asia for decades and went on a rampage in her home city. It was a violent experience that haunts Kashmira, and worst of all she was separated from her parents. As a little girl wandering through a destroyed city was a chilling experience that Kashmira does not want to experience again. However, she noticed a red light coming from one of the buildings and wandered inside... and found a weird red crystal. She grabbed the crystal and stuffed it into her pocket, and eventually was reunited with her family after the coast was clear. Given that her home was destroyed she found herself living with her uncle's family in Hyderabad until she got a new place to live. She held onto the crystal but felt oddly strong when holding it, and while playing with it, she had inadvertently caused a chunk of the building she was in to fall off. It was a scary experience, but she realized that she had done it with a bit of experimentation and realized that she can control stone. Eventually, she showed her twin Rashmika, and also showed her the crystal - but upon contact with the crystal, her entire body started glowing with red energy. Eventually, Rashmika manifested with the ability to create and control wood. They practiced with it and discovered something interesting; when they close to each other; both of their abilities are much stronger. When they are touching, they can cause world-shaping feats, and the two felt amazing but chose to keep it a secret. However, they inadvertently attracted the attention of all the wrong people; and they came a coming. When Kashmira was walking home from school, she took time to stop at her favorite place to kick a soccer ball. There was no one around... until she eventually smelled smoke and turned around to see Abel himself, smoking a cigar. The girl was terrified by the titan, but he stated that he meant no harm and that he tracked a Delta-Crystal to the area and asked her if she knew anything. The young Kashmira merely shook her head and Abel pressed on. In the end, Abel went on his way but she was terrified by the experience, so she ran home and grabbed the crystal and threw it into a river hoping that would be the end of their problems. However, they just started - the next night strange men were hanging around their household, and eventually made a move and broke in and held the family captive, demanding the crystal. Kashmira, out of guilt for starting the whole mess, told them that she threw the Delta-Crystal away. Abel soon made his appearance and requested that she lead him to it. So, Kashmira walked through the streets of Hyderabad with the world's most feared terrorist walking behind her. The streets were cleared by his mere sight and the police, military, and Metahuman regulation had no clue what to do without endangering Kashmira. Eventually, she let him to where she threw the crystal and he walked into the river and after a moment he came back with it. He merely walked past her, cryptically saying "We have come to terms." before walking into a portal and his REAPERS pulled out. Her family was heavily questioned by the authorities, but ultimately they couldn't get a lead on the elusive REAPER organization. This was, among other reasons, why the Sarai family ultimately decided to move to America - where Kashmira's grandmother lived. They settled in New York, Staton Island, and life wasn't the easiest for the family at first - given that Rashmika and Kashmira are the only two in the family that knew more than a small amount of English. They eventually got a job at a restaurant that Kashmira's uncle had, and Kashmira, once she was of age. Though Kashmira and Rashmika finally met their grandmother in person at last - the aging woman, Hanumanta, was one of the first Metahumans in India and told her granddaughter about all the adventures. She informed the two about the little thing about their blood; they have an effect known as "The Bond". A connection between her entire lineage that allows them to draw strength from being near family members that are Metahuman. Most of all, she gave Kashmira a necklace with the shard of a red Delta-Crystal in it and stated that it boosts the power of whoever wears it. She also explained that she used it when she was younger, but now that she's aged she has no more use for it. Kashmira nearly rejected it out of fear of Abel, her grandmother insisted that it was a dark, cold, harsh place out there and that she needs every tool in her disposal to survive. The words resonated with Kashmira given her encounters with Abel, and chose to take the crystal - only to use in the most desperate of all situations. She had problems progressing through American school at first, but in time she hit her stride and became a grade-A student through sheer dedication alone. She wasn't exactly one that fit in with Americans, but she found common ground with other Indians... though, she still felt like an outsider from time to time. Eventually, Kashmira received a letter in the mail; an invitation to Academy 003. She won the "invitational lottery" out of complete chance, and decided to head to the academy at the recommendation of her grandmother. Her entire family congratulated her, but she figured that it was time for her to move on and become her own woman. Besides, New York was far too cold for her![/indent] [/indent] [center][color=Forestgreen][h3][b]⫸ P O W E R I N F O R M A T I O N ⫷[/b][/h3][/color] [i]"Do not underestimate me, if I need to I will defend myself."[/i][/center] [indent] [color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | POWER CLASSIFICATION : | [/b][/color] [indent]Type-Red[/indent] [color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | POWER DESCRIPTION : | [/b][/color] [i]Stone-Manipulation.[/i] [indent]Kashmira's main power she received on contact with the red crystal, she's capable of manipulating all forms of stone; whether natural or artificial. At it's most basic her manipulation allows her to move and shape the earth, however her control is a more refined version of it. Instead of raw power her ability primarily focuses on [i]precision[/i]. While she can't cause a landslide or collapse a building with a snap of her fingers she can create functionally anything out of stone. She can erect walls, pillars, spikes, and more out of the group, and send chunks of stone flying. Kashmira finds it easier to control smaller stone than larger pieces. Kashmira has to do this through body motions, so she can launch objects out of the ground by stomping her foot and can knock over stone pillars by casually pushing her hand over. It can it any body movement, as it's a connection between her power mind and body. Kashmira has a ton of potential with her ability and has plenty of advanced techniques in her arsenal. Such as creating weapons/armor, flying using her ability, and controlling sand. [hider="The Bond"]Now let me explain what "The Bond" is. It's a trait shared between anyone who shares the same blood as Hanumanta Patel that is independent of their Metahuman energy; it's an effect that allows Metahuman Sarais and those related to Hanumanta to boost their abilities by being near each other - exponentially so if they are touching. For example; when Kashmira was touching her twin sister Rashmika, her range almost tripled and she can do more destructive feats. However, the Bond comes with the cost of losing control - while Kashmira gets more destructive she loses that gentle fine control that allows her to sculpt. Anyone who has Hanumanta's genes and manifests a power can use the bond - and it'll only work if they are two Metahumans. Oddly enough, none of her family have to possess the type-green energy, almost like it's an effect of different power in and of itself. So none of them are chromatics, purely have their power. Hanumanta has a very complicated family tree with many grandchildren and other people that share her blood, so dozens have the Bond and in the future, there could be hundreds with it. However, since Kashmira is alone in the story it won't come into play.[/hider] [/indent] [color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | LIMITS : | [/b][/color] [indent]Kashmira's Stone-Manipulation has a painfully short range - around sixteen feet of herself, but she can best control stone that is closest to her. Kashmira has the easiest time manipulating smaller pieces of stone than larger chunks. So that example of her erecting a pillar out of the ground? It would be very tiring and straining on the girl. As stated before, her ability is more focused on precision than raw power so she has an easier time shaping a stone surface than making earthquakes. Seemingly, she feels as if her power is more focused on creativity than destruction. Her stone manipulation requires contact with the ground or contact with the stone surfaces. The purity also plays a part as the stone that's diluted with other elements such as concrete is harder to control. [/indent] [color=Forestgreen][b]▼ | WEAKNESSES : | [/b][/color] [indent]Kashmira has a lot of potential and physical strength that can't be ignored, and FAMA classifies her as a high-level threat. However, Kashmira is a mighty-glacier, she has a lot of strength, but it requires that she's slow-moving or immobile to use her power. Mixed with the pathetic range and the fact that she's not too fast herself, her power will leave her helpless if she has to deal with a faster-moving opponent. Using her ability causes nausea, physical weakness, and more - which gets even worse if she tries to do an extreme feat. Because stone is heavy, it's very difficult to use the ability in the first place and far more tiring than other elements.[/indent] [/indent] [center][color=Forestgreen][h3][b]⫸ O T H E R ⫷[/b][/h3][/color] [i]"Everyone is seemingly born with... uh, what was that phrase?

For starters, the fact that she's tall. She has inherited her height from her mother - along with a variety of other things. She stands tall even above the boys at six-three and even has a deeper than average voice. Along with the fact that she's a bit more muscular than average, she can be quite intimidating. The girl carries herself with weight and confidence and makes every action of her matter. What sucks for her is that she's nowhere near as feminine as she wishes she was. However the girl is curvy, and she still hits the gym and her time in the dance studio has done wonders for her. Usually, she has her hand on her hips or her waist as she walks. The girl is African-American and proud of it, she has extremely dark skin, thick lips, and afro-textured hair that she keeps in dreads.[/indent] [/indent] [center][color=forestgreen][h3][b]⫸ P S Y C H O L O G Y ⫷[/b][/h3][/color] [i]"Come on, I'd rather hear about your problems than hear about your death."[/i][/center] [indent] [color=forestgreen][b]▼ | PERSONALITY : | [/b][/color] [indent]Nakala is a very strong-willed and determined human being. She takes a lot after her mother and the way that she was raised, and she was raised to be a strong woman, full of spirit that takes nothing from nothing. However, one difference that she has from her mother is that she has far better social skills, and is not ridiculously prideful as she was. Nakala herself is a very caring and loving human being who sometimes lets her pride cloud her judgment at times. Nakala herself only focuses on what's in front of her and hardly has time for distractions. She's less concerned with putting on fronts as she is with her immediate friend group and advancing herself. So rarely you'll see Nakala drawing unnecessary attention to herself or dressing flashy. However that isn't to say the girl is completely anti-social, she's perfectly fine talking to people. However, Nakala is extremely impatient and at times and that lead to her saying and doing things that alienate herself from friends. [/indent] [color=forestgreen][b]▼ | SKILLS : | [/b][/color] [indent][indent] [color=forestgreen][b]Dancing ⫻[/b][/color] One thing Nakala has had a talent in is dancing. Since she was young she always took dance lessons that have evolved into being the assistant instructor for a dance studio and competing against other schools. She aspires to be in music videos and do it professionally. [color=forestgreen][b]Mechanic ⫻[/b][/color] Nakala's father was an auto mechanic, not the best job but it was something. However, the girl picked up a lot from her father because of her interest in it and also works part-time there now and then. She knows how to fix most cars better than men! All the looks she has received were hilarious when upstages the men! [/indent][/indent] [color=forestgreen][b]▼ | BACK STORY : | [/b][/color] [indent]Nakala's mother was quite interesting, her name was Michelle Gallus and she was a Floridian woman born in Tampa that, after manifesting at a young age drifted into the woods. After a few weeks, she was picked up by a traveling circus which she lived with for a while until she went to academy 002, and eventually joined KINGFISHER in its prime. She took the callsign, Scary Monster, and preformed numerous raids against the likes of REAPER and other Metahuman threats. On the side, she met a man named Bryan Phillips and the two eloped, got married and soon enough Nakala was born. Bryan wasn't anything impressive, he owned an auto-garage, while Michelle worked as pretty much the primary breadwinner. There a slight bit of tension between the two because Michelle was more or less making way more than Bryan. Well, Nakala was born and raised in Black Fall, Pennslyvania. She wasn't the overtly social kind of gal at first, she kept to herself growing up. Her mother taught her how to be independent of a young age, and taught her how dangerous the world was and how tough she had to be. She taught her skills she needed to be self-sufficient, including socially. Often the girl was responsible for getting herself to and from school and staying home by herself until one of the Phillips got one. However, she had one friend that she stuck through from kindergarten onwards; Olivia Clarke. This girl was her best friend and the two had more experiences together than anyone else because the two were inseparable. Nakala, throughout school, made friends with many people from Black Fall, most notably Amanda Blackmore. This was enough for Nakala, personally, but she found herself making more friends incidentally by taking up her interest in dancing. It, at first, was an after school thing eventually it evolved into a passion. She became so skilled at dancing throughout her younger years that it became a competitive thing for her - even going to different cities for the weekend just to compete! Soon enough, Olivia manifested a type-blue power. It was the ability that gave her instinctive knowledge of biology that puts her above even the top minds in the field. The girl went insane with power as she created a new life, made cures for diseases, and other such things. Nakala told her to slow down... but then Olivia made her a pet raptor and Nakala was silenced for a while. Things changed for Nakala in 2014, when all hell broke loose in Verthaven and Michelle was sent there for backup. It was a nasty stressful time for the Phillips family as Bryan wanted Michelle to come back before she gets killed or something and all the bad things they heard about the war against REAPER. Then it got nasty when the shield came up and the Devil of Verthaven damn near wiped out the city. They lost contact with Michelle and they assumed the worse... until it all blew over and it was revealed that Michelle survived. Except for the fact that she had lost her arm, and the insane amounts of PTSD she had from the incident. All the rampant violence and murder that took place took a toll on Michelle and she became an alcoholic wreck. That hurt the Phillips family in more ways than one given their primary breadwinner was taken out of the picture. She got a huge check for losing her arm, but it wasn't long before the money was starting to dry up and Nakala had to take up odd jobs to help support the family. She had less time to hang out with her friends and live her passion but she managed to get a job at the dance studio. It was a small job as an "assistant instructor", which was the owner of the studio throwing her a bone. Then the punches kept coming as Nakala eventually lost her closest friend, her emotional support. Nakala cleared her schedule and they went to a house party and Olivia went missing. At first Nakala thought she went home, but eventually, she wasn't home and everyone was getting suspicious. Nobody knew where she was and there were several police reports put out but nobody could track Olivia Clarke. Things felt a little strange to Nakala as Livvy was only separated from her for only a short period and [i]nobody[/i] knew where she was? Well, she launched her investigation into what had happened and it turned up no leads, and it seems the police were content with giving up. After all, Metahumans disappear from Black Fall all the time? What makes Olivia anymore special than them. Nakala eventually suspected REAPER was involved, but she didn't have a clue about how to go about it... until she found it. It was a red Delta Crystal that she had found while rummaging through Olivia's things. It gave her an idea, a very stupid and risky idea, but an idea nonetheless. After scouring the dark web for information, she eventually found someone who'd get her in contact with REAPER, and arranged a meeting. She arranged it for the very outskirts of town in the middle of the night - it was tense, but she showed up nonetheless. Nakala met with a REAPER agent who introduced herself as Davis... then he came. [i]Abel.[/i] She was terrified of the tyrant, being REAPER's boogyman and the one responsible for the Verthaven disaster that scarred her mother. However, she tried to stay strong and stand her group. They had known who Nakala was and was expecting a trap but she stood strong and demanded to know information on Olivia Clarke. The information they insisted they didn't have, she tried to press them on it but Abel simply demanded the crystal. Against all logic Nakala refused and Abel moved to take it from her and her power manifested at that exact moment. Sparks of green lightning hit Abel and covered him in plants which... did nothing to stop him as he simply tore out of it, grabbed her by the wrist and yank the crystal out of her hand. Defeated and terrified as she dangled from his powerful grip, he left her with the parting words: "If you want to know what happened to your friend; look inward, there are other threats than REAPER around." Cryptic as always, he left with the crystal and his compatriot... leaving Nakala to wonder what was next. The first thing she did was go the hell home and not tell anyone what happened, it was for the best. the next thing she did was research powers and realized that she had a type-red ability, with some testing she found out the exact nature of her power. The third thing she did was lie out of her ass about how it naturally manifested, just because she didn't want to tell her mom about how her stupid decision almost got her killed by the world's scariest man. Eventually, she came out to her mother and Michelle arranged for her to get sent to Academy 003, where Nakala wondered if there were any clues to Livvy's whereabouts here.

She can produce dark-green electricity like energy that looks and moves much like actual electricity but does not shock or burn on contact. It travels the speed of lightning and will more or less instantly reach its destination, but does not conduct whatsoever. What it does instead produces plant life when it comes in contact with any unplanted surface and causes an explosion of random plant life (From fruit-producing plants to bushes) that'll continuously grow as long as Nakala keeps pumping energy into it. She can also produce a continuous stream of electricity and can also charge up for a massive thunder-bolt that'll cause a huge explosion of plant-life if it comes in contact with a surface. This power doesn't have too many direct uses, but she can produce plenty of this botanical-lightning and can drastically change the environment of an area given time. She can turn an area into a raging jungle if she has time, and this will allow her to produce barriers, bridges, and perhaps even fruit. If the lightning strikes a person it won't cause any damage to them other than causing plant growth on their being that can probably easily be torn off. The ability has a side-effect of putting insane amounts of oxygen into the air just by creating the lightning. Also, if the lightning comes in contact with seeds it'll cause a sudden and explosive growth. Nakala has a secondary ability to support her primary, and it's a more direct plant manipulation. Nakala is unaware of the fact yet but she subconsciously produces small amounts of the energy where ever she goes and that gives her a connection to all plant life in the area. Which means she can sense plants and communicate with them subconsciously... of course plants can't talk, but she can detect their health state. However if a plant suddenly dies she'll know (more on that later), so that'd give away if someone is sneaking up on her. The primary usage of this ability is that she will be able to influence plant growth while she's creating it. In the way of a more traditional plant manipulation ability - she can shape and manipulate plants long as she's linked to it and creating it. So she can use plants to create barriers, attack people, and that kind of jazz. [/indent] [color=forestgreen][b]▼ | LIMITS : | [/b][/color] [indent]Nakala can create as much energy as her stamina allows her. Besides, it has a range of around eight meters and going past that range will cause it to immediately disperse. However, her power has two catches to function at it's maximum; sunshine and environment. Nakala needs the sun to be touching her skin or else the plant growth will be stunted, which cuts her effectiveness in half indoors. Also, she has trouble producing plant life on artificial surfaces such as concrete and metal.[/indent] [color=forestgreen][b]▼ | WEAKNESSES : | [/b][/color] [indent]First things first, the plants are weak against anything that'd normally damage plants such as ice, fire, toxins, etc, etc. The primary weakness of the power comes from the oxygen-producing quality, it fills the air with so much oxygen that even a slight spark can cause a huge flame. A huge flame that'd most likely set Nakala on fire because she's in the center of it. The other problem is that excessive amounts of oxygen is toxic and will cause nausea at best.[/indent] [/indent] [center][color=forestgreen][h3][b]⫸ O T H E R ⫷[/b][/h3][/color] [i]"I want to know how I can make a difference, how to make people take me seriously."[/i][/center] [indent][/indent][/hider]
