Yeah, Corporate capes all work for the Cabrillo Group, which is a multi-billion dollar corporation consisting on hundreds of businesses, based in LA. Aperture Science will be one of the larger incorporated business, which focuses on futurist technology and (sometimes) silly things.

Name: Ruby Greenfoot
Alias(s): She's not the most famous Meta but has recently stylized herself as "Potential Divide", strangely enough.
Age: 18
Affiliations: Whoever pays, really. For that reason, she sticks to Mercs and Corporations.

Description: Standing at about five foot six, Ruby is just above average but is clearly no towering menace. She really doesn't need to be - in fact, being normal is precisely what she needs. There are a few flaws in that though - that being her eyes which seem to glow with a bright, lightning blue that one would certainly remember. If she really needs to, she'll cover those with contact lenses but due to her small string of crimes still having no evidence, she has never been revealed.

Her hair is a light blond, her figure lithe and rather flexible with the build of a mediocre track-runner. She spends most of her time by herself so running away from people isn't always at the top of her priorities; as fun as it sounds. In terms of looks, she's not too bad - she has a rather devious smile that she occasionally arms herself with so she can be cute when she wants to. Emphasis on when she wants to.

Powers: Technopathy - There is a reason why Ruby prefers technology over people. That reason is probably because she's a self-certified queen of technology. Anything that is controlled by electricity (clockwork machines are a nightmare to her), can basically be directly influenced or even rewired to suit whatever demands she has; and those demands can number in the thousands.

Similarly, computer programs are like her native tongue. She can bend them to her will, change them at will and make sure that they don't go against said will. All in all, she could give most large corporations nightmares with what information she could access. For that reason, she keeps her head very very low and makes sure that they don't have a particularly big reason to separate her efficient mind from her rather fine body.

We're not just talking about willing her microwave to fight on, boldly into the fray. What we're talking about is control of machines that could make her one of the most infamous Metas on this side of the solar system. She could break governments, bend corporations to their knees in a holy crusade against capitalism or even make herself rich beyond counting. And what does she chose to do? Live in an apartment and attempt to make a super-computer. Duh! A supercomputer would not only be damn handy but with her skills, she could break into the most safest of system-protection. It just needs a long line of criminal activities to make it a reality. Every path has its hurdles, after all!

More seriously, unlike other most Metas; Ruby's power can equally hinder her as much as it helps her. When she was a little younger, she had little to no control over her abilities and this resulted in some untimely deaths. Initially, she was too weak for her affect to have any control - occasionally, a toaster would short-circuit. However, as she got a little older and more powerful, it adapted into something that terrified her. Despite the power to do good she has, if has done a lot more evil.

Not only did it affect others around her but it affected her as well. Heading out out to her Grandmother's (in the country) became virtually impossible as she would almost repeatedly fall in and out of consciousness due to the lack of electrics. She really had no idea what it was, but her body needed to be surrounded by the stuff otherwise it simply couldn't handle the gifts she has been burdened with.

One of the main reasons why Ruby hasn't made herself publicly known is the threat to her from Metas who can temporarily prohibit abilities. Although she has only worked in theories and hunches, she has reckoned that if she is separated from her powers for at least a day or two then it could cause some serious damage to her. However, that's just something she has to live with and more than likely one of the reasons why she's a merc. The hots wouldn't purposely kill you if you explained what would happen but the mercs would chew her up and spit her out.

For that reason, although pretty powerful, she's a useful Meta but not an overly strong one. She would more than likely lose in a fight and her only real option is running. Running away from things is something she's always done and more than likely, she'll continue to do so.
Skills: Apart from being a pretty good runner, she doesn't have a very high skill-range. Most of what normal people would call skills just come naturally to her, like it was encoded deep inside of her. For that reason, she doesn't classify her programming or her electronics as a skill but more of a deeply-ingrained part of her that she'll never be able to forget; like riding a bike, or stealing a lot of electricity from the grid.

She was a bit of an introvert when she was younger, technically, she still is, but her parents sent her out to summer camp once and she learnt some survival skills there. She also nearly died due to the lack of electronics and whenever she was made to go swimming... Yeah, she doesn't do very well in water or out of the city.

Equipment: Tazers are a personal favourite of hers but she only carries one whenever going into some particularly risky situations. Apart from that, she carries a few other little robots of her design that can help in some way. She carries a few little drones that can go from temporarily blinding someone to attaching to their skin and applying a current or heat - either of which aren't exactly pretty. She also carries a few memory pens, due to random occasional needs and on one occasion, she was noted to have had a gun.

Ranking: A

Finally put the finishing touches on my CS - sure did take a while, huh? ^^

Name: Evelyn Kross
Alias(s): ‘Eve’
Age: 27
Affiliations: Hero/Hots, former Mercenary.
Description:
Evelyn stands at around 5,8 feet tall, her body is covered in a naturally tanned skin that seems to have been colored by the rays of the sun to a color of honey brown. In contrast to her dark skin is her hair: she keeps her incredibly blond hair (that almost borders to white) in a neck-short fashion in order to keep it out of her way whenever she is physically active. Her tanned body shows clear signs of being used physically quite often: her muscles are clearly visible, yet she isn’t overly muscular (she tends to focus more on agility and speed that outright strength), still keeping her feminine touch: petite nose, full lips and just the right curvature that has garnered her much attention with other individuals). In great contrast to her colored skin is her fairly large eyes: they hold a misty blue hue to them.
Usually she keeps her body covered in a basic fashion: a pair of red and black running shoes, a pair of black baggy pants with pockets for the most essential items. On her upper body she usually wears a long and somewhat loose white T-shirt that has artistically drawn colors on different parts of it. On top of this she tends to wear an armless grey hoodie. She also wears a pair of fingerless black leather gloves to protect her hands when she fights or does acrobatics.

Powers: Evelyn holds the power categorized as “Dimensional Manipulation”. This holds a variety of possibilities for the user, however the most basic one is the ability to create dimensions. For Evelyn this means that she is able to create “portals”, or “windows”, into other dimensions (or one she has created). This allows her to absorb or exude physical objects through one of her ‘windows’. This a rather flexible ability that allows her to implement it into a variety of different uses:

Dimensional absorption: She can create a “window”, enabling her to absorb any physical threats to her. She can also absorb parts of herself. This also enables her to exude these attacks through another portal.

Dimensional teleportation: As she is in of herself a physical object she can absorb or exude herself (or parts of herself) into another dimension. While this would technically only allow her to disappear and reappear in the same spot instantaneously (or in another place after a time that is equal to how long it would take her to move to that location in another dimension), however as she also possesses the ability to “create” her own dimension she holds the power equal to that of “god” in that specific dimension (it should be noted that this is only in the dimensions she herself has created, not anywhere outside of it), giving her the ability to manipulate the space-time continuum within that dimension, thus enabling her to move much faster, essentially making her movements appearing instantaneously in the real world - thus giving her the ability akin to that of teleportation.

Dimensional storage: As Evelyn possesses the ability to create her own dimensions she can also ‘store’ items within a dimension. This basically means that she can hold various objects within her own dimension, instantly absorbing it or exuding it. An example would be her weapons: she doesn’t usually wear more than a few items on her body, but if, say, a rifle is necessary she can exude one from her dimensional storage. Of course this can only be done with items that she has stored in the first hand.

While this ability makes her quite versatile it is important to note that the energy required to absorb and exude any objects are directly equal to the size and matter of said object. This she can easily absorb and exude bullets or firearms, but she cannot simply absorb and explosion or, say, a meteorite.

It has been theorized that Evelyn’s power is an underdeveloped category of Spatio-Chronokinesis, however this has yet to be proven beyond the limits of the theory.

This would have been the limit of her inborn powers, however Evelyn could be what one would describe as an ‘evolved gifted’ - however the circumstances regarding this isn't something that Evelyn can remember - rather she can somehow feel that part of her abilities aren't 'normal' to her.

Regeneration: This ability constantly heals Evelyn to a degree that regular bullets have little to no effect on her in the long run. Sure they do cause damage, however her body quickly regenerates and ejects the material that has damaged any tissue. This ability does not, however, make her immortal: if she is hurt enough she will succumb to death as her energy cannot sustain the regenerative properties of her ability. Because of this it would seem that Evelyn, for reasons unknown to the scientists, developed a counter-measure for this:

Life-force absorption: Evelyn has developed the ability to absorb the life-force of that which is around her, what this makes her able to do is to regenerate body parts much faster than normal beings - and if she has absorbed enough matter she could in theory even regenerate entire limbs - however the amount of energy this would require would be equal to that of a medium sized explosion, or the entire life-force of a human being (basically causing that being to die), however this is only a theory and has yet to be proven.
It should also be noted that through this ability Evelyn has perhaps gained her only offensive ability: As she absorbs energy from, say, a human, said human feels as if they become more and more exhausted - and if she absorbs enough the target will collapse. This ability also seems to boost her natural physical and mental abilities.

However, this ability isn’t fully developed as it became apparent that there was a number of limitations:
Firstly: Evelyn has to be in physical contact with whatever she wants to absorb, this means that if she cannot get in contact with anything, she cannot utilize this power - thus limiting the usability of this ability considerably.
Secondly: The ability to heal is constantly active. This means that since it is constantly active it makes it necessary for Evelyn to re-supply herself with energy quite often - and the more she gets injured, the faster she has to replenish her supply. If she cannot do this the outcome is quite simply death. It also means that as she is getting closer to running out of energy she is weakened.

Skills: Through her time with the Corporation she was strictly trained in different arts of martial art and weaponry, making her an outstanding opponent to fight against as she can seamlessly blend the use of weapons and martial arts together with her abilities as a gifted. She is an excellent tactician, easily able to understand a situation from different perspectives and act accordingly. Furthermore her quick thinking makes her an excellent schemer, often using this to pull pranks on those around her - however she is by no means a genius, give her any form of electronic assignment and she is as lost as a bunny in hell.
She has also proven to be quite athletic and a skilled user of parkour.

Equipment: Evelyn usually carries a set of dual pistols by her hip and a pair of katanas on her back. Now because she is able to store objects within other dimensions she holds a lot more firepower that what she appears to have. At times she even hides all of her weapons in order to fool her opponents (however she cannot store bigger objects (such as cars) because of the large amount of energy it would require. She also keeps a set of medical supplies hidden as well as the basic survival tools. She has also managed to get her hands on an iPhone 7 (with earbuds) - yea, she has indeed gotten her hands on it before it has even been released, but do not ask her how, you wouldn’t like the answer and she would have to kill you afterwards. She also always keeps a pair of headphones on her body at all times: she loves to listen to music - and is currently into the indie scene.

Ranking: A (I think?)

(Optional)
Brief History: The case of the woman known as Evelyn Kross is an interesting one. She seems to have no recollection of her former life, no memories of her childhood, her friends or lovers or her former experiences. What she does remember is a memory filled with a feeling full of disgust and terror, a memory of the only person she remembers before she woke up in a dark and damp alley in the middle of Los Angeles, it is a memory of her father. She does, however, not remember much about the reason why she feels such a disgust towards the person she remembers as her father, but she does remember excruciating pain and lab coats.

The first thing she remembered after waking up in the cold alley way was a feeling of fear and misplacement, like she wasn’t quite like she was supposed to be: like she had been altered and changed, however it didn’t take her long to gather the few items that had been scattered around her: mobile phone, wallet with id, two military grade pistols and two swords - all of which would later tell her things about herself that she didn’t know - before she ran.
She ended up in the darker places of Los Angeles, the places criminals, mercenaries and other scum of society lives. Here she found herself welcome: a woman with no past and a mysterious aura seemed to fit right into the darker parts of society and it didn’t take her long to transit into a comfortable job as a mercenary - a change that proved to become quite the success and before she knew it her skillset had garnered quite the reputation as the mercenary “Eve”.
However this was not to last. As she became more well known within the criminal underground, so did she in the justice departments. Especially within the group known as the “Hots” as she was an ability user like them. It didn’t take them long track her down, however she wasn’t prosecuted. Instead they, for reasons and logic unknown to Evelyn, offered her a way out of the criminal underground: Become part of the group known as the “Hots” and try and bring balance and peace to Los Angeles.
Evelyn who hadn’t experienced the warmth of being needed for as long as she could remember gladly accepted this opportunity and has been a part of the Hots for roughly 6 months.
It should be noted that while she is part of the Hots she is more often than not getting in trouble with her higher ups because she doesn’t conform to the rules that exists for them (she tends to ignore orders and even going so far as to brutally murder a target if she finds it necessary - or because they annoy her).

NarcissisticPotato:
S Rank: Abilities which allow their user to wipe out small towns, move faster than sound, or can create highly advanced weapons. Generally have a large range, and are considered to be highly dangerous opponents. Most have a Flee On Sight order.


SS Rank: Abilities which make the user capable of taking out small cities, bending reality in some profound way, or taking control of small armies. Gifted with SS rankings often have issues with mental health, and given their capabilities, most have a Flee On Sight order.


Ruby could potentially use powers similar in scale to S or SS ranked individuals. I am not be opposed to extraordinary hacking ability, or being able to harness existing technology to your advantage. With a suitable disadvantage, even having machines or programs rewrite themselves, potentially evolving them would be acceptable. It's that your powers have a very wide range of capabilities, and could scrape into S or SS Rankings if push came to shove. Add on Electricity Manipulation, a B Rank ability by itself, and I would consider you S Rank, minimum.

AcerRo: Accepted, I'll add you to the Accepted CS's. EDIT: Actually, you need a definite faction.

Empath: Accepted, adding you as well.
