[color=DBBBFF]▼ [b]| PHYSICAL   DESCRIPTION : |[/b][/color] 
[indent]While Elise stands at 5'8", she is often mistaken for a young college student by many. She doesn't put much effort into her hair or makeup, so she is often plain faced and lets her hair air dry into loose waves. Her olive skin is dotted by small beauty marks. If you look close enough, she even sports light freckles on her nose and upper cheeks. Her frame is slender, but she directs the effort of styling her hair and painting her face into toning her body. It might look like she can't lift over 50 lbs, but she packs a lot of power into the muscle that she has. She has yet to get any tattoos or long-lasting scars, but she is sure that in her line of work that the latter are bound to happen. She has pierced her earlobes and has one tragus and daith piercing on the left ear. She keeps her jewelry to minimalistic studs so that it doesn't risk tearing.[/indent]

[color=DBBBFF]▼ [b]| ATTIRE : |[/b][/color]
[indent][list]
[*] Work Attire: Eli keeps it business casual and modest unless she is undercover. She prefers the use of black slacks, joggers, or slim pants paired with a white shirt and various lengths of black blazers and coats. When she is undercover, she dresses for the occasion. She likes to combine street rat with street fashion to blend in with the city.
[*] Off Duty: Eli prefers to keep her style comfortable, classy, and with a bit of retro flair. She stays far away from skinny jeans, but also hates wide leg pants. Usually she wears joggers, chic pants, or loose jeans. As for shoes, she prefers slip on sneakers and flats. Eli is not picky with what she pairs with these items. She can be seen in t-shirts, button ups, blouses, and sweaters if the weather is ever chilly. [/list][/indent]

[color=DBBBFF][b]▼ | PERSONALITY TRAITS : | [/b][/color]

[indent]As an agent, Elise is extremely practical and determined to prove her worth at FAMA. She struggles with her loyalty to the agency and also to her people, which can often lead to issues between herself and her mentor. Her goal to succeed at FAMA is based upon her drive to protect as many innocents as possible. She is aware of the grey area between non-violent and dangerous deltahumans, but she also knows that humans and also FAMA have a gray area of morals too. She is still on the path to discovering where exactly her morals lie. Elise is also unafraid to speak her mind and is often reminded of the FAMA's list of rules and regulations. She's a young agent, but that also means that she can bring fresh ideas to the table and rely on her own wit and charm to get the job done. 

With the temperament of a volcano, Elise is usually calm and dormant until things start heating up. It isn't wise to get in her way unless you want to deal with the consequences of her eruption. This happens rarely, and Elise is usually a cool individual that cares for everyone around her in a secret way. She doesn't make it obvious and usually shows her affection through acts of service and words of affirmation.

In her normal life outside of FAMA, Elise is an artistic and open person. She is driven by her own wishes and desires, but is willing to compromise if the other has different ideas. Elise has only a few close friends outside of FAMA because she has devoted most of her time to her work. In her free time she paints, goes on runs or walks around the city, and pays close attention to any news sources that still function in LA.
[/indent]

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

Elise was trained by FAMA and has learned skills such as:

[list][*] Basic Self-Defense and Hand-to-Hand Combat, and the use of weapons such as guns, tasers, or sleep darts. She has briefly been trained how to use nullification collars and containment foam, but she hasn't had to use them in the field yet.
[*] Attention to Detail: Elise must be able to remember important details about a target when presented with their file or discover them on her own in what could be a second worth of contact with the target.
[*] Surveillance: Eli may be able to do this with her ability, but she must be able to track or follow a target without being discovered. If she is to tap into a person's perception that may be doing illegal activity in a building or designated area, Eli must keep them within her range without detection and without losing her connection to them.
[*] Adaptation: Elise must be able to adapt to certain situations lest she fail her assignment. Adaptation can also include adapting to a certain "character" when she is undercover. Elise often has to use this skill to dress appropriately so that the target does not catch onto her. 
[*] Self Reliance: While Eli adheres to the orders of her FAMA mentors, she also has to be able to work independently to get results. 
[*] Lock Picking: Eli may use this more than she is instructed to.[/list]

Elise has learned these skills without the help of FAMA [list]
[*] Disabling a nullification collar
[*] Painting

[color=DBBBFF][b]▼ | BACK   STORY : | [/b][/color]
[indent]Elise's father and mother were born and raised in LA. Her father became a policeman that worked closely with FAMA agents to secure the peace. Her mother was a deltahuman whose powers manifested when she was twenty She was a type blue that could sense and alter the emotions of another. While she used her empathy to understand the emotions of those around her, she never once used abilities for the wrong purposes. Which is why Eli'se father fell in love with her. Not because she made him, but because he trusted her not to.

The two met, married, and settled down with a modest life in the San Fernando Valley. Soon enough, Elise was born. Her childhood was fairly normal. Despite the whispers from her classmates and neighbors that her mother was a type-blue Elise was able to have many friends and succeed in school. The mix of having a cop for a father and a deltahuman for a mother meant that Eli was aware of the dangers but also felt empathy for her mother's kind. She was aware that at some point she may manifest, but the years went on and nothing happened. So, Eli continued to live a carefree life.

Somewhere in the summer between sophomore and junior year of high school, her father began to change. He spent a lot of time at work, and when he came home her mother could instantly tell that something was stressing him. He never gave a reason, and instead just told the two to not worry and that everything was okay. Her mother didn't believe him, but Eli trusted and admired her father too much to go against his wishes. He was her role model. She even planned to follow in his footsteps and become a policewoman after she graduated school. Little did she know that the next two years would send her on a different path. Life happens, people are lost, and things change. That's the way it goes.

Except her entire life changed in one single night. The Wessex home was quiet. Eli was fast asleep after a long day at Santa Monica with her friends. Her father had gotten home in time for dinner. A delicious meal of shrimp and crab slathered in Old Bay. Afterwards the family enjoyed an unconventional game night of poker until it was time for bed. Eli was in the midst of a dream that she finally beat her father in the game, when the sound of gunfire interrupted her victory speech.

Her powers manifested that night under the extreme stress of hiding from the men that broke into her home and murdered her parents. She barely got herself out alive, and she ran until her feet were bloody and she'd eluded them. She didn't even return home until morning, where she was instantly greeted by the police and FAMA agents. To this day it remains unknown who targeted her family, but Eli is convinced that it was not just a simple robbery. It had something to do with her father and what he'd been doing for the last few months. What she did know was that one of the men was a deltahuman.

From that day, Eli was a ward of the state and a known deltahuman. She moved in with a foster family, and while she couldn't sense emotions like her mother she knew that deep down they feared her. Almost everyone did now. So, she focused her attention towards her future career. Instead of a policewoman, Eli now set her sights on becoming a FAMA agent so that no other person would have to suffer at the hands of human or deltahuman again. She was aware that her inheritance from her mother would cause a challenge, but she pushed herself harder and harder to prove herself trustworthy and capable. With no one else to turn to, FAMA was her only goal.

A few years went by, and Elise was finally accepted at FAMA. She now works in the field as an undercover agent. She's secretly been a part of the acquisition of dangerous criminals, but her name is only mentioned once in the files. She simply is assigned a target, finds them, and gathers as much incriminating evidence she can until FAMA has enough information to take them down. On the side she still regularly sees a therapist, and paints to relieve herself of any stress or worries. The earthquakes that shook LA battered the city, and Eli sympathizes for those affected by it. In her opinion, now is the time that she should take on a larger role at FAMA. With the city in chaos and numerous gangs causing it, Eli is determined to step up to the challenge. [/indent]

[color=DBBBFF][b]▼ | PERSONAL ARC : | [/b][/color]
[indent]While Elise did become an agent of FAMA, her work within the organization is heavily monitored and restricted. Eli feels like she can do more than what they've allowed her, but they just won't listen. Now that the city has descended into chaos, will Eli accept her place at FAMA, or will she step up to the challenge to protect all people within LA? Can she really prove herself? [sub]A question that she has wanted answered since the day she manifested is: who was responsible for the attack on her family?[/sub][/indent]

[color=DBBBFF][b]▼ | POWER   CLASSIFICATION : | [/b][/color]
[indent]Type-Blue[/indent]

[color=DBBBFF][b]▼ | POWER   DESCRIPTION : | [/b][/color]
[indent]Elise's ability has been deemed perception manipulation by the government officials tasked with categorizing deltahuman abilities, but under the surface Eli's ability uses two separate functions of the mind to form one coherent ability:

[list]
[*][b]Sensation Manipulation:[/b] With every second, our brains are receiving stimuli for sensations such as sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Those sensations are then sent to the brain, where the mind processes these sensations and determines how they will be perceived. Every sensation must pass a threshold limit in order for the mind to notice it. Eli's ability allows her to access these sensations and manipulate the threshold limit for those stimuli by either raising or lowering it. For Example: She could lower the threshold of someone with a paper cut to feel stronger pain, or increase the threshold of someone's photo-receptors to blind them. 
[list][*]While this method is effective, there are limits to the amount a threshold can be manipulated. This is where Eli's ability affects the perception of this stimuli as well.[/list]


[*][b]Perception Manipulation:[/b] In theory, the mind tends to group the senses together so that it is easier to process. This allows the mind to interpret similarity, proximity, and continuity, of the size, shape, brightness, and distance of an object. This can affect balance, depth perception, and the awareness of the subject's surroundings. In terms of pain and the sensation of touch, the brain receives the stimuli from the nerves in varying amounts. The effect of these sensations can be altered by the mind's perception of them. For example, if heat was applied to a subject's arm the mind could translate that heat as pain if it thinks the arm is burning, or the mind can perceive it as a warm welcome on a winter day. Likewise, touch can be perceived as pain or pleasure as well. It all depends on the mind's interpretation of these stimuli. By manipulating the perception of another's senses, Eli is able to create auditory and optical illusions as well as illusions of pain.
[/list]

Potential Uses Include:
[list]
[*] Auditory, sensory, and optical illusions
[*] Affect the mind's perception of balance, which could induce dizziness or nausea
[*] Pain Reduction/Enhancement
[*] Tapping into the vision or physical feelings of another
[/list][/indent]

[color=DBBBFF][b]▼ | LIMITS : | [/b][/color]
[indent]While Eli's ability has many different uses, Eli is only able to create one to two illusions at a time without putting a large amount of strain on her physical and mental state. She is also unable to affect a subject unless they are within a 40 meter range. In terms of how many subject's she can affect at once without duress, Eli's lower limit is set at two subjects and her upper limit is at most five subjects. To stretch into the upper limits of her powers will send Eli into a heavy state of exhaustion like any other deltahuman. To simplify, Eli is able to produce a much stronger, longer lasting illusion over fewer subjects than she can with a larger group.[/indent]

[color=DBBBFF][b]▼ | WEAKNESSES : | [/b][/color]
[indent][list]
[*]Like any illusion, there is no actual physical damage inflicted upon a subject. Convincing a subject's mind that the illusions are real depends on the will and strength of a person's mind as well. Subtle errors in illusions may give them away if Elise is under stress or multitasking.
[*]If Elise is using her ability to tap into the perception of an individual, she is unable to see through her own eyes as well. This means that she is open to any potential attack, and must remain in place or she'll get herself hurt.
[*] If Elise is tapping into the sensation of an individual, she will also feel whatever they do. This means that if someone is hit or shot by a bullet, Eli will feel as if it has happened to her as well. Any pain she may experience will linger for a few minutes until her energy has dispersed from the individual's mind. The stronger the pain, the longer it will last.
[*] While this has only happened once so far, Eli will begin to have troubles discerning reality from fantasy if she has used her ability too much. She may convince her own mind that certain illusions or sensations are present if she has reached her limits too often.[/list][/indent]
