She has brown hair that goes down to her shoulders, though it is usually tied up in a ponytail. She has emerald green eyes which are usually framed by a pair of circular-shaped glasses on her freckled face. She usually wears clothes for comfort rather than style, so she will often be seen in sweaters and skirts with the occasional scarf when it gets cold. In her hero form, she stands at a tall 5’10” with a more muscular build than when she’s a civilian. Her hair and eye color remain the same, as well as her freckles, though she doesn’t need her glasses. Her costume consists of a red body glove and leggings, both with golden accents, a white cape, and a white skirt. At the center of her torso is a lightning bolt emblem.[/indent] [color=dd2323][b]|[u] {Equipment and Personal Belongings} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][list] [*]Backpack (with textbooks) [*]Laptop [*]Nintendo Switch [*]Smart Phone [*]Pepper Spray [/list][/indent] [color=dd2323][b]|[u] {Physical Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][list] [*]Superhuman Strength: Strength that is on par to a Kryptonian [*]Superhuman Stamina: Stamina that is on par to a Kryptonian [*]Physical Enhancement: Becoming Shazam changes Brooklyn’s physical form [*]Invulnerability: Virtually invulnerable, physical resistance is about on par to a Kryptonian [/list] *Please note this only applies in hero form and the list is subject to change as the character develops.[/indent] [color=dd2323][b]|[u] {Superpowers} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][list] [*]Limited Clairvoyance: While not truly clairvoyant to any and all events around her, she does possess an uncanny awareness which tells her when shit is about to hit the fan [*]Omni-Lingual: Limited. For now, she has suddenly gained full fluency in Spanish [*]Limited Magical Resistance: She can mostly shrug off small spells thrown against her but anything else will have her on the ropes [*]Sorcery: Although she practically only knows the inherent lightning spell, Shazam is highly magic capable and has the potential to learn and use advanced spells [*]Innate healing: At the moment, she only heals from wounds slightly faster than the average person [/list] *Please note this only applies in hero form and the list is subject to change as the character develops.[/indent] [color=dd2323][b]|[u] {Limitations} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][list] [*]Inexperience: Brooklyn/Shazam is incredibly new to having powers and being any sort of hero so she will likely make many mistakes along the way [*]Verbal Transformation: In order for Brooklyn to transform into Shazam, she must be able to shout ‘Shazam!’ If she is in any way prevented from doing so, physically or magically, she cannot transform. [*]Electricity: A powerful enough electric discharge (about that of a large bolt of lightning directly impacting her) can force Shazam to revert back to Brooklyn or vice versa. [*]Student: Despite having powerful abilities, Brooklyn is still a student in high school, so, even if there are crimes and evil-doers around, she often finds herself stuck in school. Unless the situation is dire, Brooklyn will put school before fighting crime. [/list][/indent] [hr] [color=dd2323][b]|[u] {Personality} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Brooklyn is a fairly shy girl and mostly keeps to herself and close friends. She doesn’t like to be the center of attention and most of the time will fade into the background when left to her own devices. Usually, the only time she becomes the center of attention is when there’s a bully. If there is one thing that someone would about her, it’s that she hates bullies and oftentimes will get in their way, even if it means becoming the focus of their ire. To those that get to know her, they’ll discover that Brooklyn is actually a complete nerd and quite passionate in her interests. Whether it be at home, at school, or on the streets, Brooklyn always brings her Nintendo Switch to play games. When she’s not playing video games she often likes to read, she even has a small bookcase in her room, though she has mostly moved on to e-books and the occasional fanfiction. Brooklyn is also incredibly optimistic and will try to see the best in people, even if a person seems like complete scum to others. She has even tried to get to know past bullies she has encountered, extending an olive branch of goodwill to them to see if she can reform them for the better. She has had mostly mixed results in this endeavor. In terms of school, Brooklyn is a fairly bright student but she’s nothing special. She studies when she needs to and makes fairly good grades, though she is a long shot from being the Valedictorian.[/indent] [color=dd2323][b]|[u] {Place of Origin} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Brooklyn was born and raised in the Morgan suburbs, just on the northern outskirts of Central City. She has had a modest upbringing that placed her family firmly in the middle class. She has one older brother who is currently attending Central City University. Despite the picturesque American nuclear family, however, Brooklyn is often either alone at home or just in the company of her brother since their father is a part of the police force while their mother is an on-call nurse at the city hospital.[/indent] [color=dd2323][b]|[u] {Background} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]On November 8th, 2003, Brooklyn Taylor-Evans was born. She would be the first daughter and second child to Elizabeth and Kyle Taylor-Evans and little sister to the then four-year-old Shawn Taylor-Evans. Growing up, Brooklyn’s childhood was fairly normal; she got along with her brother, for the most part, made a few friends at school, played with some of the other kids on the same street, etc. Due to her parents’ intense working hours though, especially as crime rates started to rise which kept both her father and mother busy, Brooklyn and Shawn had their fair share of nannies until they were old enough to mostly take care of each other. A major shift came in her life when her middle school years were closing and she was on the way towards her high school years. This shift came in the form of an entirely different school, a private school in fact. Apparently, she had been doing well enough during her middle school years such that the prestigious Isaiah Morgan Academy offered her enrollment with scholarship. To Brooklyn’s parents, the offer was a no-brainer, they wanted the best education for their children. As such, Brooklyn was set to enroll in the academy the following school year. When the girl’s friends found out, most of them were sad that she wouldn’t be joining them in the local public high school, though some knew of the academy’s reputation with rich snobs and gave her the cold shoulder. Come freshman year, Brooklyn was sporting her new mandatory uniform to the Isaiah Morgan Academy as she stepped out of her father’s 2010 Honda Civic, which was severely juxtaposed by the various high-end luxury cars. Unfortunately for her, first impressions had just been made just and she was a captive audience to the snide comments that were made about her as they spread like wildfire throughout the academy. Despite it all, she tried to interact with others anyway, hoping to make some friends in the hostile environment. While she was able to find a couple of other scholarship students and befriend them, the majority of other students she spoke to simply scoffed and/or gave her the cold shoulder. It didn’t take long for Brooklyn to see that the social cliques had already been formed and locked down. With a small number of friends, no clique membership, and a relatively low social score, Brooklyn was practically already in the sights of bullies. Although she was a fairly shy girl, Brooklyn was definitely not a coward. No matter the bully, no matter the place, Brooklyn always stood her ground against the bullies, often back sassing them and getting physical on only the rarest occasion. She does make an attempt to never get physical, however, usually just taking the hits and not hitting back, especially since the one time she did hit back it was her that got the mark on her record. Despite her own bullying troubles, however, Brooklyn was not a bystander when it came to seeing others bullied. She often interjected when someone else was getting picked on, even if it meant taking the heat instead. After a year or so, now in her sophomore year of high school, a fair amount of the bullies backed off since she fought back, though a persistent few seemed to like it when their victims had some bite. Despite it all, however, Brooklyn still managed to keep her grades fairly good and even managed to make a couple of new friends. Everything else was mostly the same though, the only difference being that she now rode the bus to school and back, which gave her plenty of time to destress with her Nintendo Switch which was gifted to her by her parents when she first started at the academy.[/indent] [/hider]
