However, most of the prompts involving hero work were answered with her saving as many lives as possible, often to the detriment of herself. While her intelligence is without question and her morals admirable, she has a lot to learn. [b]|| Practical test ||[/b] Ms. Styles' performance with the power suit was quite impressive. Her strength, agility and endurance have been greatly enhanced. Although we were curious to see the full capabilities of the suit, we were advised by Dr. Styles himself that this was a prototype and not to go too hard on it. [b]|| Written essay topic ||[/b] Ms. Styles' essay drew a great deal of inspiration from her own mother, who even though gifted with powers so limited, great change is still possible. All in all with the lofty goal to help others and save the world. Her heart is in the right place and she certainly has the lineage and assets to achieve these goals, but does she have the willpower?

The panel of professors and admins before her conferred amongst each other, which left the young girl to the thoughts in her head. Discouraging ones like an angry swarm, ‘why are you here?’ ‘Don’t you believe your abilities could be beneficial elsewhere?’ ‘you’re wasting your time, little girl.’ Some days these thoughts were too much to handle, today they came close, but the desire to be here outweighed the negative; until the silence was broken, and the swarm scattered. “Ms. Styles,” spoke one of the instructors, “you’ve given an impressive display, truly you have, but what this school demands is not for the faint of heart. Even with your fantastic suit, I’m not sure if this school can take someone with-” [color=azure]“My limited powers? Sir, there is a reason I came with this suit, but I’m not here because of my powers, I’m here because I want to be a hero, isn’t that what you train people here for?”[/color] She could feel a lump forming in her throat, but forced it down to continue on, [color=azure]“Ever since I was 6 years old I knew I wanted to be a hero, standing here, even now shows how dedicated I am to that belief. I know I’m not the first student who has had to struggle at this academy and once I graduate, I know I won’t be the last.”[/color] She awaited an answer, unsure how the instructors would react to her candid outburst. A woman’s voice speaks up, [color=00748b]“I have a feeling, you’ll be able to handle yourself just fine here.”[/color][/hider] [/indent] [color=gray][u]S C H O O L[/u][/color] [indent]Crystal Peak Academy[/indent] [color=gray][u]Y E A R[/u][/color] [indent]Sophomore[/indent] [color=gray][u]C L A S S I F I C A T I O N[/u][/color] [indent]Personal Physical/Energy & Passive Mental [/indent] [color=gray][u]O C C U P A T I O N[/u][/color] [indent]Works part-time Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at the campus cafe between 7:30am - 11:00am before afternoon classes and part-time work study on fridays and saturdays at the campus library between 3:00pm - 6:00pm [/indent] [color=gray][u]L I V I N G A R R A N G E M E N T[/u][/color] [indent]The Towers at Crystal Lake Commons[/indent] [color=Azure][sub][b][h3]⋙: Ｒ Ｅ Ｐ Ｕ Ｔ Ａ Ｔ Ｉ Ｏ Ｎ[/h3][/b][/sub]____________________________________________________________________[/color] [indent]Kayla is perceived as innocent and naive, definitely the kind of person that doesn’t belong in a school of wolves like this.

[b]Quiksilver Armour[/b] - Outside of the mental blocker, Ms. Styles doesn’t have any powers to speak of, yet she was able to perform a demonstration using a power suit designed by her father, Dr. Brennan Styles. The suit itself seems to enhance the user's strength, agility and reaction time. The suit also seems to have an enhanced jumping mechanism to allow the user to traverse greater heights and distances quickly. This will certainly help Ms. Styles to keep up with the other students.[/indent] [color=gray][u]L I M I T A T I O N S[/u][/color] [indent]We were informed by the doctor the suit is only a prototype, therefore it does have a limited power supply and is not entirely impervious to having its power drained, although it has some resistances to these forms of attacks, it cannot sustain these resistances for long. As for her mental ability, Ms. Styles isn’t even sure how she was able to turn it on, let alone how to turn it off. This will make her somewhat of a detriment if paired with a mental based partner or a telepath that could rely on her for a stealth operation.[/indent] [color=gray][u]C O M B A T[/u][/color] [indent]The suit seems to have a generalistic range of weaponry from non-lethal wrist mounted projectiles,based on Dr. Styles’ ionic pulses, to smoke and flash grenades as well as concussive shot rounds.

Having grown up around such influential people and heroes like her parents, how could she not want to be one? Every day she studied hard and tried to figure out when and what her powers would eventually be. As the years went on, however and no powers developed, her confidence slowly began to wane and eventually the reality of her situation was accepted. Kayla Styles, daughter of Dr. Brennan Styles and Elizabeth Lovelace-Styles, was born without powers; ergo she could not become a hero like her parents before her. Fate had other plans for the young Styles though and one day while playing with her cousin Ria, she had fallen and struck her head against a rock. Several hours had passed before she awoke in the hospital to the confusion of the staff who had pronounced her brain dead sometime before. After some personal tests done by her father, as well as a visit from some family from the Crownes and Lovelaces, it was determined that her powers had awoken. Somehow that accident jumpstarted Kayla’s powers and blessed her with the ability to prevent access to her mind. Beyond ecstatic, Kayla declared with renewed confidence that she would attend the academy like her parents before her and become a hero. Her parents tried to talk her out of attempting to go to Crystal Peak, but Kayla was hellbent on this one goal in life. Rather than let her go at it with the clothes on her back though, her father had other plans and began development of a prototype suit for Kayla to use. When it was completed and finally presented to her, there was a mixed bag of emotions floating in Kayla’s brain. On one hand she could finally achieve her dream with this suit, but on the other hand, this was not something she had earned on her own, it was a tool to give her an advantage; in other words, she’d be cheating. Her father argued that without any real control over her powers, she wouldn’t survive at the academy. Reluctantly though, a deal was made, that if Kayla could one day actually control her abilities, that she could return the suit to her father; for now though it was hers. After a difficult first year, struggling through her courses, but overcoming her handicaps with high marks, the young student returns, ready for what this year may bring. Though the new inclusion of Crestview students has her worried, she’s treating it like being a freshman all over again. Hopefully this time though, she’ll actually be able to make friends this year.
