Man, Knight, you are relentless. haha
Sue


The number of students that were in the same class with Sue was normal, to say the least, being used to smaller classrooms back in her special schools. Furthermore, Sue was used to the crowd, the sociable person she tended to be. Back when and where friends knew her, they knew not to ask open-ended questions with her, just the yes and no. She would always respond, as she was always attentive.

Here, it was more difficult. Sue was lucky enough to find one person who knew sign, but the rest just kept on talking, her earmuffs doing its work but it was disconcerting to say the least. Not to be the rude person she wanted to seem, she turned to Jack, she sat still on his desk, and signed:

”Hey, you busy?” ”You wouldn’t mind introducing me to our classmates, would you?” she signed, with the largest grin she could pull off, revealing all the way back to her premolars, peace sign on her right hand to her right cheek.
I'm having Sue ask Jack a favour in this next one.

When it comes to my turn, I'd like to choreograph the fight with Knight, if possible? :D
Hong Kong, mwuah.
Good morning, everyone :D

8:12 am, and I'm seeing a lot of Japanese o-o
Name:

Sue Cassidy; Echo

Gender:

Female

Age:

20

Parents:

Known: Father – Sean Cassidy; Banshee

Unknown: Mother

Powers:

Similar to that of her father, she possesses an ability of sonic manipulation. However, unlike Banshee, this power is still largely uncontrolled due to the fact that she has not learnt to control it: While her father could produce destructive sonic screams, everything Sue hears is amplified.

Such sound reverberation is perpetually raised with feedback, given the appropriate utilized equipment and environmental reflection of sound. Her hearing is not anymore heightened than what is considered perfect hearing. What is considered enhanced hearing is more of a talent of picking up and out certain sounds because of raised volume levels.

Sue has untapped potential with her ability, only hindered by its volatility and her normal physical vulnerability.

She is immune from the effects of her own or other sound manipulation.

Abilities/Skills:

Versatility – Sue is agile and fast, utilizing and incorporating her knowledge of dance styles to her movements.

Hearing enhanced by raised volumes – Owing to her previous predilection to music, she is also able to pick out certain tones and pitches the untrained ear cannot ascertain.

Biography:

She was a child born mute, yet with an indefatigable mind and spirit. Sue never gave in to the fact that she could not vocalize her thoughts and turned that disadvantage into strength. Though she was not free from bullying, discrimination and difficulty from her inability to speak, she was loved by many in her specialized schools all the way up to her late teens, and with her father – the retired Banshee dedicated a lot to treasure the one gift of life he had left, reeling in the grief from the loss of his wife. Sean Cassidy maintained a close eye on his daughter’s actions. Sue grew up to be a good child, her father helping her foster her many talents.

"Actions speak louder than words", that is true to our Sue. She was always seen with her headphones, dancing to the beat - aspiring to be a great dancer up on stage on Broadway, perhaps to become a professional dance choreographer. She also developed an interest for music and was an aficionado to multiple genres. Sue could be considered an acrobat with her agile, mobile legwork and dance moves – it was not uncommon to see Sue breakdance into windmills and spontaneous, furious robotic pop-and-lock. Her emotions and passion emanated to her elegant grace. An enthusiastic dancer and musician, fond of the arts that was far more expressive than anything that could really ever be needed to be said about it.

Come one unfortunate day in her bedroom, when her listening to music caused massive vibrations to the room and concussed it to the ground. Relocation was necessary, not that rebuilding was impossible; though the identity of Banshee was revealed peacefully, and targeting from evil forces was preventable, it was more for the safety of Sue and the sake of the nation. The realization that Sue could be used as an area-of-effect time bomb made the father defensive. Sue was crushed, knowing that her love for music could destroy everything she loved.

The two moved to the quiet forest hills, away from the noise of the bustling city. Months of recollection, sanity assurance and emotional reconciliation, Sue grew depressed and lonesome. Her personality was still there, but her ability to speak without words was significantly hindered, if not permanent. She longs to return to her old life, free from this curse. Banshee thought dissimilar, and hoped that by sending her to the Academy, she may learn to control the gift Sue found unwelcomingly. It may be a burden, but he hopes for the best Sue will still live her life the way she wants to, with a new talent.

Appearance:



Sue is 5'3" (160 cm). She has straight red hair. Her figure is proportionate with an hourglass figure, just simply in a short stature, weight in body mass index considered normal. She is white, but not pale. Her muscles are refined, but not obvious – obvious when she flexed.

She wears beanies for her headgear, with headphones or earmuffs at permanence on her ears. Her outfit ranges from loose to casual, a trait most dancers wear for ease in mobility and comfort.

Personality:

Prima facie, she seems depressed and introverted, which she is – owing to her distraught reaction from her new found ability. But even as acquaintances, Sue is active and likes to tease. She enjoys making some cheesy comments, but means the best in her conversations – effectively making fun of herself and the peer with the versatility of sign language, even if they don’t know it.

Her personality changes when she is immersed in her music or when is dancing. A more aggressive, dynamic Sue is formed in place of the old one. A new person is discovered, which people revered in adoration and awe.
She is not afraid of getting up on stage, a fear long past from many auditions and performances. She is humble through and through with her dance skills. She is open to most comments and ideals, but reserved in asserting her own values to others. All in all, Sue is a good friend and ally to have, and a fun one to be with.
Knight, I will post an updated character sheet because I had time to kill. :)

Yes, she can post as Mimic, Batman, and Beast if she wants to. She also enforces the rules, and approves new character sheets. You guys are able to post as teachers also, but only in the class you create for your characters.


Appreciable and nice :D

Good to know.Attention everyone, Klyix is our new Co-GM. When I'm not online, her word is law.


Will she be assuming the same roles that you have? Like say, posting as Mimic and the teachers, but not necessarily your characters?
