Physical Appearance:Sawyer is considered the “ugly twin.” Every set of twins has it, the less attractive twin. While it may not be noticeable, Sawyer has a bigger nose and her skin is slightly more tanned despite her mother also forcing her to wear just as much sunscreen as her sister. Her eyes are a tad bit smaller and the color a little bit lighter than her sister’s, as well.
Attire: To say Sawyer has one set style would be an inaccurate statement. Sawyer likes to jump from clothes to clothes, but generally wears jeans – though the if they were shorts, long shorts, or pants depends on the weather – and a t-shirt of some kind. If she is feeling up to looking good, she will wear a nice sleeveless dress, but don’t expect her to wear heels. She is always wearing her lucky converse.
PersonalityInnate & Outward Personality:Sawyer has always been the dependable one in a family of a chaos. With her twin sister and mother having a tango of right and wrong, occasionally getting into fights, Sawyer is always there to pick up the pieces. On days that her mother has had a bad day at work or isn’t going to be able to come home in time to make dinner, Sawyer is quick to pick up the family duties. That’s just how it’s always been. Sawyer was the rock of the family, sturdy and strong, but she doesn’t want to be the rock.
Ever since Sawyer’s escapade to find her dad, Sawyer has had a thirst for adventure, a thirst she has never been able to fill because of her dependability. She doesn’t want to let anyone down and strives to fill everyone’s expectations of her, but she wants to climb Mount Everest and swim with sharks. Sawyer wants to have an epic romance that ends with her heart being broken and commit crimes with a best friend. But she can’t. Because she’s dependable. A part of Sawyer resents her family for containing this part of her, but Sawyer is constantly lying to herself and saying that she doesn’t, that she loves them and cares for them. This built up tension often causes her to lash out at her family.
Ever since gaining her powers, an aggressiveness and possessiveness has been more present than usual. Sawyer has always been a sarcastic girl, but now she is more animalistic, unpredictable, and mean. She hates it when people touch her things and will start a fight over the smallest thing. Her temper has turned hot and, with her newfound powers and no longer having to be the dependable one, Sawyer has begun to embrace her adventurous side. Of course, Sawyer is still dependable, but sometimes she forgets things. Sometimes, Sawyer isn’t as dependable as she used to be.
But things aren’t all bad with Sawyer. Sawyer, despite being a little tightly wound, can still be a laidback person who enjoys relaxing and laughing as much as the next person. She loves to make puns and jokes, though they aren’t always good, and adores people who make her laugh.
Hobbies/Interests:Rock climbing, reading adventure stories, swimming, learning about animals, collecting dried flowers,
Skills/Talents: Fast runner, good at drawing animals, but sucks at drawing anything else,
Prized Possession: Quote(s): “A man just assualted me with milk, cream and butter. How dairy.”
History/Bio:Sawyer Babinski and her twin sister, Piper Babinski, were to born, essentially, to a seventeen-year-old whore. Nicole Babinski was an illegal prostitute who obviously couldn’t afford well-working condoms considering the fact that she got pregnant. While Piper was okay with not knowing her father, Sawyer was insanely bothered by it. Well, once Nicole figured out that she was pregnant, she figured she could give her kids to someone who’d pay a hefty price. Turns out, nobody really wanted to pay for a fatherless bastard child from a Highroller Heights whore. Nicole figured the best thing to do next was to give up her kid for adoption. Her bad luck doubled when the nurse discovered that she was having twins. Long story short, after giving birth, Nicole instantly grew attached and decided to keep the little buggers.
Now, being a low-end prostitute wasn’t the best job to raise kids on, and Nicole figured she would have to make some sacrifices; meaning, Nicole would have to get a second job. Sawyer’s mother decided that drug dealing was the best next thing she, a woman with a bad education and no college degree, could do. A year or so later, Nicole rose in ranks amongst the prostitutes due to her pleasure inducing Metahuman power and began ranking in a fair amount of money.
Nicole finally was stable, got out of the drug dealing business, and focused on her prostitution and the raising of her children. She raised her daughters to be proud and confident and to believe in her feministic ideals. She raised them to treat others how they would like to be treated – though one daughter didn’t quite get the memo – and to always give tips.
Growing up, Sawyer was constantly questioning her mother about her father, convinced that Nicole knew something about her father’s whereabouts. Nicole adamantly denied not knowing anything about their father, but when Sawyer was twelve, admitted to believing it was a man named Stanley Devin. Immediately, without even a lick of a plan, Sawyer ran off to find him in the middle of the night.
Sawyer looked all over Highroller Heights and met several Stanley Devins over a week until she met a particular one; he was a little bit older than her mother with brown hair and a mustache, he was heavily built and had the same colored eyes as she did. Sawyer was convinced that he was her dad and questioned him nonstop about what he does and who he is. Well, once she revealed that she might be his daughter, he laughed and told her he knew he was gay since the age of fifteen and that she was no daughter of his. Disheartened, Sawyer nearly screamed in frustration. This Stanley Devins must have noticed because he gave her a few sweet words that filled her heart and convinced Sawyer to go back home to her mother.
Once she was home, Nicole nearly bashed Sawyer’s head in, but was thankful that she was back. That night, Sawyer had decided that Nicole had lied to her in order to get her off her back and figures that Nicole doesn’t really know who her father is.
While Sawyer continued to grow, Nicole didn’t worry much about her and was more focused on Piper due to her strange and detrimental habits, leaving Sawyer to be alone most of the time. She didn’t quite mind it, per se, but she enjoyed the times that Nicole did spend time with her. However, around the age of fifteen, Sawyer began having bouts of possessiveness and anger issues that led her to getting into fights and beating people up all through high school. At this point, Nicole didn’t know what to do, and when Sawyer discovered that she was a Metahuman, Nicole resolved to send them both to an Academy.

RelationshipsAbilitiesPower Class:Beastial, Super-System
Power: Animal Attributes: Sawyer has the ability to choose an animal that she has touched and gain specific attributes from the animal, such as speed from a cheetah or flexibility from a snake. Her appearance will take on certain looks as well, though she is not growing cat ears or cat tails, but she might gain claws or tan stripes on her skin. However, she also gains certain personality attributes of it as well. There is a power form called Berserker where she gains a more beastial appearance and is in the mind of an animal and gaining the knowledge that animal naturally attains through living. Her voice box can change in order for her to be able to speak to animals, as well.I
Limits:Sawyer can only gain the ability of an animal she has touched and must have an attribute chosen at every moment. She does not have a “human” attribute and is always experiencing her power, which can make her exhausted quickly. Energy is only used when her attributes are active or she changes from one animal to another. Sawyer can only use the attributes of one animal at a time. At the moment, she has only touched a cat, a dog, and a gorilla – a funny story actually.
Weaknesses/Drawbacks: She gains the temperament and weaknesses of said animal, as well. Example: If she has the attribute of a snake, someone holding her neck will prevent her from doing anything. When in full bestial mode, she actually thinks she is the animal whose attribute she has possessed. She does not have full control and has gained a hot-headed nature and unpredictability because of her power.

Sample Post:“I heard about your sister.”
Sawyer sighed and leant her head back, glancing into the cloudless sky and feeling the heat wash over her and the gallons of sunscreen on her face. “Yeah. Everyone’s heard.”
Sawyer’s friend, Melissa, placed her weight on the railing, glancing down at the gorilla encasement far below her and biting her lip. “Think you’ll be a Metahuman?”
“Dunno.” Sawyer answered monosyllabically. “I’m bored. Let’s do something.”
Melissa sighed in exasperation. “You were bored at my house and so we went to the bowling alley, you were bored at the bowling alley, so we came to the zoo. Where do you want to go next, princess?”
Sawyer scrunched her face in irritation, but the aggravation left her body swiftly, replaced with a small smile. “What do you get if you cross a gorilla and a prisoner?”
“Pray tell, what?”
“A Kong-vict!” Sawyer chuckled, looking over at Melissa, her green eyes squinting at the sun. When Melissa didn’t laugh, Sawyer said, “Get it? King Kong?”
“I got it. It just wasn’t funny.” But Melissa smiled anyways.
“It was funny to me.” Sawyer replied defensively, looking down into the gorilla cage. “Hey, I dare you to go down there and touch the gorilla.”
“What? No! You do it.” Melissa scowled jokingly. Imagine her surprise when Sawyer swung a foot over the railing and began to scale down the wall, into the gorilla encagement.
“Sawyer, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” Melissa whisper-shouted, her blonde hair falling into her face.
“You told me to do it.” Sawyer answered, her voice tinged with tiredness as she landed onto her feet.
Almost immediately, the gorilla approached her, sniffing her curiously. Sawyer smiled and laid a gentle hand onto the gorilla’s back, petting it softly before moving away. The gorilla followed her, nudging her with his hand.
“Stop it.” Sawyer demanded, swatting his hand away. The gorilla only nudged harder until she fell onto her butt.
“I said stop it.” Sawyer said louder.
The gorilla pulled on her arm harshly and yanked on her clothes, irritating Sawyer immeasurably. And then the gorilla grabbed a chunk of hair and tugged painfully. Sawyer exploded. She grabbed his arm and wrestled him to the ground and he fought back with all his might, attempting to pin her down, but they were at equal strength.
“Hey! What the hell are you doing?” A zookeeper screamed from above and Sawyer felt her face go even paler than it already is.
