[hider=Ohh Jay, oh why?][CENTER] [img]https://i.imgur.com/42T4qzB.jpg[/img] [B][I]Name: [/I][/B] Olivia Jay [B][I]Hero Name:[/I][/B] The Punisher [B][I]Age:[/I][/B] 28 [B][I]Gender:[/I][/B] Female [B][I]Family:[/I][/B] Olivia was disowned when she turned 18 and thus does not have a proper family anymore. While they are still in contact with their siblings, Olivia has distanced herself from every facet of her former life. Jessica Jameson - Sister John Jameson - Brother [B][I]Occupation:[/I][/B] Olivia is currently employed by a local coffee shop and moonlights as a stand-up comedian. While she would love to be full-time with the latter, the insurance offered by the former is too good to pass up. [B][I]Appearance:[/I][/B] Olivia has never really stood out in a crowd, standing at a comfortable height of five feet seven inches tall and with a lithe frame hidden beneath layers of clothes. Her hair is an organized mess, and it is always one color or the next and cut short in one area and long in others. She maintains three tattoos, all hidden beneath her sleeves. While she is new to her super-powered status, Olivia has used her skills with Cosplay to get a rudimentary costume created. At its core, it's a simple combination of clothes that she had bought but never wears. A simple pair of high-waisted black jeans rest overtop of a pair of fashionable, yet durable, boots that make up the base of the ensemble. She wears a tight but thin, black hoody underneath a rose pattern leather jacket that zips up to the midpart of her neck. The hood is always up and hides the face underneath while the bottom of the hoodie is tucked neatly into the pants. She wears a custom-made LED mask on her face with two preset selections for the lights. The first is the one that she likes the most, and it simply illuminates the face with a laughing look. The second option turns that smile right side up and reveals a frown. She calls her current outfit Comedy and Tragedy. [B][I]Superpower:[/I][/B] [I]Gift of gab[/I] Olivias power stems from her voice. She has not had a lot of time to explore it, but she has learned enough to know the basics of how to use it. Her words can carry suggestions. Some weak, and some much more powerful. These suggestions can compel people to do something that she is thinking of. She can drive someone to adopt an animal from a kill shelter, buy her dinner, and even step in front of traffic if she so desires. While she has not had the amplest time to explore this further, she is confident enough with it. Her most potent suggestions are moved by her jokes. These jokes are often puns or a simple play on words. The more simple the joke, the more restrained the effects. A simple one can cause even the most seasoned henchmen to groan in disgust, throw up their hands, and walk away from the scene. An elaborate joke, however, can cause henchmen to turn on their leader. From what she has explored, this power is something that has to be engaged to work. She can have whole conversations with people without compelling someone. As soon as she thinks about the desired outcome, however, the words will affect those targeted by them. [B][I]Skills:[/I] Mean cup of joe:[/B] As a barista, Olivia is very well versed in making a decent cup of coffee. Whether this is actually making a cup from good beans or not, most of her creations shall be tasty enough. [B]Jokester:[/B] Olivia has always been one who wants to lighten the mood. As such, she is quick with her jokes and even quicker to raise the spirits of her friends. [B]Invisible to most:[/B] As someone who wishes to never be perceived, she has found a way to achieve that by blending in with most crowds. Whether with a simple hat and pair of sunglasses or more, she can make herself invisible. [B][I]Personality:[/I][/B] Olivia has experienced her life up to this point as one baptism by fire after the next. From her confusing childhood, self-actualization, disownment by her family to the crushing realization that society as a whole would rather see her as a statistic than being herself, Olivia has seen and overcome all the trauma that has been thrown her way. This has come at a cost. Slow to trust and even slower to embrace strangers as friends, Olivia constantly keeps her distance from others. Olivia often seeks to isolate herself from the world for days on end when her mental health dips. She does not like to burden others with her burdens. As such, she will almost always pretend to be this happy-go-lucky person. She will wear these mental masks and keep her true self hidden from most, if not all. To her close friends, Olivia will always be their loudest supporter and most fierce protector. [B][I]Biography:[/I][/B] Disowned by her family at the age of eighteen, Olivia does not talk about her formative years. Since that date, she has bounced from college to working a dead-end job, back to college, and back to another dead-end job. While Olivia has struggled to keep herself afloat, she has survived and has recently started to thrive. Throughout the years, she has always had a fascination with the heroes of the world, and she wished they could do more than just fight the overt villains. That was until she discovered her power a week ago. It was a simple night like most others. She was at a friend's house discussing an upcoming stand-up appearance she was going to make. Her friend dangled a carrot for a pun, and Olivia pounced on the easy joke. Yet her voice felt different as she spoke, and it felt more powerful. As the joke left her mouth, her friend's eyes fogged over for a brief second before they returned to normal. Her friend let out the biggest groan Olivia had ever heard, got up, and left their own apartment, all the while muttering about how awful it was. Olivia, of course, followed her friend, trying to calm them down. After a few minutes, their friends' eyes once again fogged over. As the clarity returned back to their eyes a moment later, they gasped. The panic in their eyes alerted Olivia to the fact that something strange had happened. After a few more mistakes with her power and the realization that she could compel people with her words, Olivia took it upon herself to simply shut up. All of that was the result of a stupid play on words with a specific electric pokemon name. As the days turned into the first week with her power, Olivia realized that she still had much to learn. All the same, she feels an obligation to the world to be one of its new heroes.
