[hider=Rachel James]


[b]Age[/b]:22
[b]Gender[/b]:Female
[b]Appearance[/b]:5'3 with short blonde hair, usually wearing jean shorts, a blue v-neck, and a gray hoodie. Face changes a lot due to a skill in makeup. 
[b]Para category/Threat level[/b]: Beta 3

[b]Powers[/b]:
[b]Strong Telekinesis[/b] - Can control up to 10 small things or one thing her size with her mind. Even though this power takes much concentration depending on size and amount, she is very skilled and can lift anything her weight (107 lbs) or lower, and with a burst of energy can crush a car most of the way. She can even make weapons out of normaly safe objects, crushing them to a hard point and throwing it at a target. Her telekinesis also has a defensive property, in the form of a shield around her whole body. This sheild, like a physical sheild, does take damage, a bullet making a crack, two more shattering it. It also takes lots of focus to keep it up, so she can only move really light things while using it.
[b]Minor Atomikinesis[/b] - If something is flammable (anything from a can of gas to a peice of wood), she can make it explode. The more flammable it is, the bigger and more fire-filled the explosion will be. The less flammable, though, the more concentration and energy it takes to make it burst apart in flames.

[b]Skills[/b]:
[b]Quiet[/b] - Can move silently. She always could as long as she wasn't stepping on anything noisy, but after the explosion she gained the ability to walk and run silently on anything. Except water.
[b]Accurate[/b] - Due to an interest in bows and throwing-knives pre-para, her aim is on-point when using telekinesis for ranged attacks.
[b]Almost perfect disguise[/b] - Because she used to be a makeup artist for a small movie studio, she can disguise herself to hide from those who hunt her. It takes a close look to recognize her.

[b]Weaknesses[/b]:
[b]Needs sight[/b] - If she can't see for any reason, she can't use her kinesis powers. She also panicks a bit and freezes due to an old fear of becoming blind.
[b]Crazy[/b] - The Tower's explosion threw her emotions into chaos. One moment she may be laughing with you, the next she may want to rip your head off. She also kills random pedestrians when she loses control.
[b]Wanted[/b] - Because she sometimes kills at random, she is seen as a threat and is actively hunted.

[b]Backstory[/b]:

After getting her senses back (mostly) after the explosion, she played around with her strange new abilities. Independent of the factions that arose, and fending for herself, she has made a couple hideouts in alleys that she blocked off from anyone who can't move a pile of cars. Anyone who comes too near gets pushed back if she sees them through the cars, cautious of anyone who might be a threat. Even though she could easily kill them, since an encounter with a flash bomb which hindered her powers for a few seconds too long, (which was carried by someone who looked like a normal person) she keeps people at a distance and uses disguises. Her hiding places are usually only for sleeping and stashing food; she's usually out causing trouble while in disguise. She hasn't been captured only because she was able to hide and disguise herself.

When she made her hideouts, she had first stolen some anti-gravity and thermal hiding tech. Finding cars with no one around was tough, but she did it. Adhering the anti-gravity boxes to the bottom of the cars, she brought them to a couple of alleyways with dead ends. Painting the cars and installing the thermal hiders took awhile, but it was worth it to Rachel.

As for before becoming a Para, she worked at a small movie studio as a makeup artist. She enjoyed that job, as it allowed her to be creative. She always loved watching movies, loved the realistic effects and everything that happens behind the scenes which people don't acknowledge as much. She used to wander the city around the studio and her appartment a lot, and has mostly stayed in that area even after her change.

She used to like painting, reading, using her bow and throwing knives. But now she messes with people. She causes trouble, tripping people, crushing property, scaring people with small explosions. Though these are bad enough, sometimes she loses control, and instead kills or traps people. When in control of her emotions, she usually hates killing, but mostly because it brings attention to her, and she doesn't want to get captured.


[hider=Sample post]


Rachel walks down the street, watching the cars zoom by. She has her hood up, helping her disguise. The cars' solar panels reflect the sky beautifully, but the sun was also reflected. Rachel looked away from the cars, not wanting to ruin her eyes. The memory of the bright flash and the resulting fail of her powers still haunted her.

Silently ducking into an alleyway, she watched from the shadows, bored. She wanted to mess with people, perhaps make trash cans spill their contents on people and the cars. Yeah, that would be fun. As she was deciding what to do to cure her boredom, she saw a cop walk out of the donut shop across the street with a donut box. Curious, she shielded her eyes from the cars' brightness and watched. Maybe something simple first, then make trash-falls. Looking around, she saw a gross wrapper further in the alley. Ripping off a piece, she carefully sent it over to the cop, making it hover behind him. When he opened the box and took out a donut, Rachel quickly placed the piece of wrapper on the donut. When he bit into it, a confused look came over his face. Spitting out the bite, he looked down at the soggy paper mixed in with the chewed bits of the donut. He angrily threw the rest of the donut on the ground, and stomped into the shop and gestured with the rest of the box. As the door slowly closed, Rachel could her him yell, "I warned you, NO MORE MISTAKES, YOU STUPID - " Rachel couldn't hear the rest, as the door closed. She giggled. Now, time for some fun...

She didn't know how or why it happened again, but it did. One minute she was giving people a suprise with piles of goopy trash landing on them and their cars, the next she angrily started snapping people's necks. It was a short burst of anger, luckily, so she ran as soon as she could, dodging shots from stun bullets, using her shield when needed. Running through alleys, around cars, silently gaining speed. Turning a corner, she looked back and saw she lost the cops that were chasing her. Running faster, almost tripping, she threw herself into one of two deadend alleys she made into her safe spots. Running towards the cars roughly disguised as the walls, she moved them up slightly and dove through, placing them back as quietly as possible. Peeking through a small gap, she watched as most of the cops ran past, but a few stopped and looked around. She covered her mouth, quieting her heavy breathing. They walked away, looking around. Rachel had made sure that her hideouts were almost impossible to see, unless you knew what to look for. Her painting skill as a normal human really came in handy. The thermal hiding tech she stole is also useful, and the anti-gravity boxes are what make her able to lift the cars. She walked to the back wall and grabbed some chips. That run was exhausting.
