Welcome to All-Verse: The Initiative, an RP that was years in the making. The basis of this RP is that there consists a vast multiverse in which each of the univereses are unique, such are sprawling fantasy kingdoms, while others are scifi. It'd be impossible to note all the differences in one sitting as there is an infinite amount of these universes contained in the shared "All-Verse." This Multiverse is one of many different ones, but these universes have the trait that they all have "Champions". These Champions are either the heroes or villains of these universes, but are exceptionally strong warriors that lead great change in their home universes... or they should. You see, there was a catacysmic event that took place not too long ago that upset the natural balance of things. The barriers that kept the worlds separate are now breaking down, and the timeline has been disrupted; which means that events that were supposed to take place, took place much differently (making the problems worse).
To combat this, a higher being formed an organization that was meant to set right these issues across the All-Verse and restore balance. He plucked champions he deems worthy from all over the All-Verse and formed an organization known as The Praxis Initiative. Their headquarters is located outside time and space itself, and they are composed of hundreds of different agents. The story will revolve around one particular team that has been recently formed from the latest batch of Champions, but this team, in particular, will be the ones to change everything.
Despite what you may have guessed, this is not a fandom Roleplay. This RP will be a crossover Roleplays of sorts with other Roleplays, but everything will be original. Which I hope will bring a more personal level to the Roleplay. This RP will be a "scenario-based" roleplay where I run different missions with a very loose main plotline, that way the RP is far more accessible and people don't have to worry about following a complex story-line.
The RP is be somewhat "community-run", which means that the basics of what we do and where the story goes will be decided by you. The RP was mostly decided by community input anyhow.

RULES
[1.01] The usual rules. No godmodding, metagaming, powerplaying, autohitting, etc.
[1.02] Swearing, alcohol, drugs, and sex are fully permitted in the RP long as you do not overdo it excessively.
[1.03] There will character deaths in this RP. By submitting a sheet, you acknowledge that your character will have to deal with the consequences of their actions. If your character does something dangerous, then they may get injured or die. Don't Godmod your way out of it. I won't purposely go out and kill characters (That I like), but I may purposely injure them for the sake of the story.
[1.04] You are required to post once a week or you will placed as inactive. But, please say if you're leaving the RP, especially if you're in the middle of any interactions/important subplots. Any inactive characters will be forgotten about, or killed off if they were significant enough to the story. However, everyone is free to do as they please with any inactive characters. Your universe will still be used, however.
[1.05] I don't care too much about post length. I rather have a short meaningful post over one full of filler. That said, all I want is one paragraph. Just one. Be prepared for some long posts every now and then. However, I expect average writing at least. I also recommend that, once we get into the mix of things, you do plenty of collaboration posts.
[1.06] At the start of every post, please note where your post is taking place in.
[2.01] Respect everyone else at all times, please. Solve conflict with civility. Last thing I want is for things to become toxic. The golden rule is: Don't be a dick.
[2.02] Me and my GMs have the final say. We aren't tyrants, but if things get out of hand, we'll have to settle things ourselves.
[2.03] I'd rather that we talk on the OOC as much as possible - even if it's irrelevant chatter. I makes the RP seem more lively, and keeps everyone attached to it. If you must, my information is in my sig.
[2.04] I tend to very critical when judging sheets - please don't take it as a personal attack.
[2.05] Feel free to ask about anything, anything. I'll happily answer them.
[3.01] I expect a moderate amount of detail when writing your sheet. The one thing I tend to make people go back and edit is a lack of detail. I should say that your sheets don't have to be as detailed as mine. On the same note, try to make your characters interesting.
[3.02] You have a great deal of freedom when creating a character. You can make someone of any gender, sexuality, background, etc. Long as it's written respectfully. I will not accept characters with mental illnesses unless they are written correctly.
[3.03] I'm gonna say it now; I'm not a fan of sociopaths/psychopaths, dark and tragic backstories (Without proper mental repercussions), one-note "badasses", perfect characters, and any of the sort. So keep that in mind when planning your character.
[3.04] The following abilities are banned; "instant death" powers, mind/character control, time powers, anything with "omni-" attached to it, reality warping, complete indestructibility/absolute defense, and probability manipulation. I also will not accept characters that have powers that can only be used in a fight. If you want to know why these powers are banned, I'll tell you.
[3.05] Please don't post a "wip" sheet. Post the complete version or don't post it at all.
[3.06] You can submit your own NPCs, long as they are important enough to the story (Or your character) to warrant one.
[3.07] There is no limit for characters, make as many characters as you please but I will step in when it gets unreasonable. As for universes... you can make as many as you like long as you are bringing something new to the table.
[3.8] While this is a tough one, let's try to keep all the characters in one general power-level. Even if different "universes" have different rules, this is a story - and I want to have some tension. Which means let's try to keep the power levels from getting too ridiculous (I.E No Gods, Super Saiyan Expys, etc).
[3.9] Accepted characters go into the character tab, but you may make a sheet for your universe, which, if accepted, will go on the OOC instead of the tab.
[3.10] You are allowed (and you are encouraged) to make a character from a different universe.
EDIT: On another note, how long has this Praxis whatever been going on for in-universe? And my thing should pretty much be done at this point.
In the OOC (which is complete and I'm just giving it some time before I post it) I mentioned that a cataclysmic event took place a few thousand years ago that disturbed the balance of the universe and the Homie-Above-All created Praxis to help fix these issues. So I'd say Praxis has been around for like a thousand years, long enough to establish themselves.
Gotcha, thanks, I'll have to ponder, see what I come up with, then come back here. I assume its fine to take inspiration from various works, so long as credit is given where credit's due? Including previous works of ours? I have some stuff I can draw on, that for the moment, I'm just gonna mull over, let it take shape.
Yeah, you can take inspiration from where ever. My universe, The Black Fall Universe, takes a lot of cues from Worm, so that's fine with me.
@Ruler Inc So, does the All-Verse have a Supreme being or beings that created it?
There is a homie that made the universe that created the Initiative. He's one lazy mother effer because he made them so he doesn't have to do anything.
@Ruler Inc How is it that you can find artwork of a floating city surrounded by a forcdfield, yet I can't after spending hours scouring the internet?
because I'm the shit
@Ruler Inc Also, is it possible for someone from the Black Fallverse with mental/psionic powers to eventually achieve Psychopotence through extensive use of their powers, a cosmic force, or meditation of some sort?
Not really possible, powers are relatively unchanging unless someone comes across a power manipulator or something. Though, with the Delta-Crystals it could be possible
Here are my universes, btw. The OOC will go up tomorrow.
▼ DESCRIPTION ▼
[N/A]
The Praxis Initiative Headquarter's is located in the center of the known All-verse, a world that was previously destroyed by war. The Initiative Headquarters is a base that floats aimlessly in space and is either sprawling with Initiative agents, or refugees from universes that couldn't be saved. The Initiative Headquarters is two parts; one part a massive city that is home to both the Initiative agents, and the refugees. It takes the appearance of a high-tech city, but it has different "sections". Each of these sections is meant to emulate a person's home universe, such as some areas looking like a medieval village, a desert wasteland, etc, etc, so the inhabitants feel more at home. These areas are rather well-maintained by the efforts of the Praxis staff, however certain areas are rife with crime and gang violence. The center of the city is a massive tower that is the Initiative Headquarters, home to all their operations. Where they contain a large variety of vehicles, weapons, and other gadgets, and have portals to practically anywhere in the All-Verse. When there is a disruption in the universe, a team will be sent to correct it.
▼ SPECIES ▼
Praxis is home to a variety of different species. Some from every universe, and the last survivors of some worlds that couldn't make it.
▼ OTHER ▼
Praxis is meant to be a hub-world for the cast, and headquarters of all operations. In between missions, things will take place here. This place is essentially meant to be a stand-in for Traverse-town from Kingdom Hearts.
▼ DESCRIPTION ▼
Superhuman
In a world much like our own, an event took place in the 1960s known as Delta-Storm, a meteor shower that showered the world with crystals that had strange energy in them. If compatible, this energy would turn a human being into a "Metahuman" and give them powers over reality itself, from super strength to manipulation of the elements, to peaking into the minds of others or even altering the powers of others. Only five percent of all humans are Metahuman, but they are a constant source of debate, as many have abused their abilities. Which lead to the creation of Metahuman regulation agencies worldwide, most notably the Federal Agency of Metahuman Affairs (FAMA) in the US, the Chinese created the Metahuman Armed Police Force, while the Russian Federation created the Wurdulac and the list goes on. These Metahumans consist of men, women, children, and are under constant threat of various nefarious organization. Most notably of all, the strange REAPER terrorist group, whom attack organizations that seem to be getting too far ahead, political targets, and other groups. REAPER has gone to war with many Metahuman regulation groups and have taken on governments and come out alive, and they are lead by Abel, the most terrifying man in the world.
▼ SPECIES ▼
Metahumans: Beings that have been infected with the Delta=Point energy and have become superhuman. They gain a different power depending on what type of crystal or energy they have come in contact with. Yellow Crystals give physical powers, blue crystals give mental powers, red crystals give elemental abilities, green crystals give the ability to give alterations to other abilities, and white crystals give the more esoteric abilities. There are instances were Metahumans have been exposed to multiple types of energy and have abilities that span multiple categories, they are known as "Chromatic-types". Also, if a Metahuman were to touch a crystal that corresponds with their type, they will receive a huge power boost. Thus Metahumans have a variety of different powers, but they all come with a deadly drawback; upon overuse a Metahuman will "ash". Which means they'll practically self-destruct, turning into ash.

It's not difficult to tell where Kashmira was born and raised. Her facial features and skin tone are distinctly featured from the Indian-sub continent (the southern area, of course), and she speaks with a very thick Indian accent - however she dresses more "American" than a walking stereotype (that's only for special occasions). The girl seems to carry herself with caution in mind, she usually takes slow steps but most of all watch her step. She usually keeps her hands together in front of her, or at her sides. A lot of people get the idea that she's rather tense given the way that she carries herself and the fact that she's very easy to startle. It's not the case innately, but she unintentionally gives off that kind of impression.
In terms of build, Kashmira is a very small girl at just an inch below five-feet due to genetics alone. The girl finds it easy for herself to get into small spaces but always find it incredibly hard to get noticed. She's extremely slim, bony, even due to a mixture of her diet and the fact that she tries to excercise every day so she gets plenty of exercises. She doesn't have a whole lot of muscle-tone nor does she have a lot of body fat, but what fat she does have is merely padding for the girl. She has some curves with 36Bs and some hips, but nothing that'd make heads turn. India is a very diverse place, and Kashmira has roots from the Keralite people (and other Indians mixed in but they're rather distant). Her skin tone is a little dark but nothing major and she has a very pronounced nose with a large nose ring, and her eyes are large and a brown color - packing a striking gaze within them. Kashmira has long shoulder-length hair that's a dark brown color and is very well-maintained, and it's naturally a little wavy - she doesn't keep it in any style.
▼ | ATTIRE : |
Despite what you may think, Kashmira doesn't dress like a walking stereotype. She has a very modest style of dress but still uses brands that people her age wear. Out on Charity Beach, she doesn't really get the opportunity to dress heavy, so she usually wears a shirt of modest length or sweat-shorts. Sometimes, Kashmira wears a shirt that shows a little cleavage, but she strays away from clothing that would reveal more. She's not a hat kind of woman, but she does sometimes wear a beanie when it's cold. Though, she has a wide selection of clothing from India that she wears during special occasions and holidays. When at St. Mercers she wears dark-blue scrubs typical for all nurses there.

♦ Kind ♦ Devout ♦ Idealistic ♦ Respectful ♦ Careful ♦ Compassionate ♦ Eagar to learn ♦ Slow to anger but a handful once agitated ♦ Somewhat eccentric ♦ Wise ♦ Jumpy ♦ Stubborn ♦ Refuses to hurt people ♦
▼ | SKILLS : |
Nurse ⫻ Kasmira is a fully trained and licensed Nurse who has an encyclopedic book of knowledge in her head. She can identify any common ailment almost instantly and any uncommon one after thinking about it for a little bit. Don't expect her to perform field surgery though if someone got disemboweled. At best, she'd figure out a way to stop the bleeding enough for actual medics to arrive. She also keeps a supply of bandaids on her at all times.
Trilingual ⫻ Kashmira grew up in India all of her life, and thus the language that comes easiest to her is Gujarati, and you can find her speaking it on phones or accidentally slipping into it. However, Kashmira also took classes in Hindi and English, so she's fluent in both languages.
Cooking ⫻ Kashmira's mother taught her how to cook since she was young and by the time she was thirteen she was cooking meals for herself. It's helpful because Kashmira doesn't eat meat and she lives alone. She goes to pick up some ingredients and she's all set!
Dancing ⫻ Kashmira was taught to dance by her mother (and grandmother surprisingly enough) how to dance. Both her mother and her grandmother were amazing dancers and they passed on that skill to Kashmira. She hasn't had too many chances to strut her stuff, but she's been practicing and practices dancing by herself as a hobby.
▼ | BACK STORY : |
To begin, Kashmira was born in and grew up in India to two loving parents, but she had a twin sister Rashmika. Her family tree is quite complex because her grandparents had thirteen children, and she is just one of a legion of grandchildren. Growing up in Ahmedabad, life wasn't particularly hard for the girl, she grew up playing and hanging out with the other children and she was raised to be a devout following of Shaivism. Her early life wasn't particularly eventful other than the fact that she learned English and Hindi while in school in order for her to effectively communicate with other Indians. Life was going to as ordinary for the girl; she was going to grow up to become an amazing young woman that would strive to achieve Dharma. However, it came to Ahmedabad, the Beast, they called it, Kasmira now realizes that the thing had shaped her modern life. A powerful Metahuman that had been rampaging across Europe and Asia for decades and went on a rampage in her home city. It was a violent experience that haunts Kashmira, and worst of all she was separated from her parents.
As a little girl wandering through a destroyed city was a chilling experience that Kashmira really does not want to experience again. However, she noticed a red light coming from one of the buildings and wandered inside... and found a really weird red crystal. She grabbed the crystal and stuffed it into her pocket, and eventually was reunited with her family after the coast was clear. Given that her home was destroyed she found herself living with her uncle's family in Hyderabad until she got a new place to live. She held onto the crystal but felt oddly strong when holding it, and while playing with it, she had inadvertently caused a chunk of the building she was in to fall off. It was a scary experience, but she realized that she had done it with a bit of experimentation and realized that she can control stone. Eventually, she showed her twin Rashmika, and also showed her the crystal - but upon contact with the crystal, her entire body started glowing with red energy. Eventually, Rashmika manifested with the ability to create and control wood.
They practiced with it and discovered something interesting; when they close to each other; both of their abilities are much stronger. When they are touching, they can cause world-shaping feats, and the two felt amazing but chose to keep it a secret. However, they inadvertently attracted the attention of all the wrong people; and they came a coming. When Kashmira was walking home from school, she took time to stop at her favorite place to kick a soccer ball. There was no one around... until she eventually smelled smoke and turned around to see Abel himself, smoking a cigar. The girl was terrified by the titan, but he stated that he meant no harm and that he tracked a Delta-Crystal to the area and asked her if she knew anything. The young Kashmira merely shook her head and Abel pressed on. In the end, Abel went on his way but she was terrified by the experience, so she ran home and grabbed the crystal and threw it into a river hoping that would be the end of their problems. However, they just started - the next night strange men were hanging around their household, and eventually made a move and broke in and held the family captive, demanding the crystal. Kashmira, out of guilt for starting the whole mess, told them that she threw the Delta-Crystal away.
Abel soon made his appearance and requested that she lead him to it. So, Kashmira walked through the streets of Hyderabad with the world's most feared terrorist walking behind her. The streets were cleared by his mere sight and the police, military, and Metahuman regulation had no clue what to do without endangering Kashmira. Eventually, she let him to where she threw the crystal and he walked into the river and after a moment he came back with it. He merely walked past her, cryptically saying "We have come to terms." before walking into a portal and his REAPERS pulled out. Her family was heavily questioned by the authorities, but ultimately they couldn't get a lead on the elusive REAPER organization.
This was, among other reasons, why the Sarai family ultimately made the decision to move to America - where Kashmira's grandmother lived. They settled in New York, Staton Island, and life wasn't the easiest for the family at first - given that Rashmika and Kashmira are the only two in the family that knew more than a small amount of English. They eventually got a job at a restaurant that Kashmira's uncle had, and Kashmira, once she was of age. Though Kashmira and Rashmika finally met their grandmother in person at last - the aging woman, Hanumanta, was one of the first Metahumans in India and told her granddaughter about all the adventures. She informed the two about the little thing about their blood; they have an effect known as "The Bond". A connection between her entire lineage that allows them to draw strength from being near family members that are Metahuman. Most of all, she gave Kashmira a necklace with the shard of a red Delta-Crystal in it and stated that it boosts the power of whoever wears it. She also explained that she used it when she was younger, but now that she's aged she has no more use for it. Kashmira nearly rejected it out of fear of Abel, her grandmother insisted that it was a dark, cold, harsh place out there and that she needs every tool in her disposal to survive. The words resonated with Kashmira given her encounters with Abel, and chose to take the crystal - only to use in the most desperate of all situations.
She had problems progressing through American school at first, but in time she hit her stride and became a grade-A student through sheer dedication alone. She wasn't exactly one that fit in with Americans, but she found common ground with other Indians... though, she still felt like an outsider from time to time. This stride continued from grade school all the way through college. Kashmira was a very compassionate woman, one that wanted to help people where ever she could. Part of her wanted to become a therapist, but she realized that her true calling was the medical field. Which is where she worked her ass off to meet deadlines and had to put off advancements from her fellow classmates until she managed to graduate and pass her bar exam.
Her entire family congratulated her, but she figured that it was time for her to move on and become her own woman... besides, New York was far too cold for her! Kashmira applied to places all over and eventually, a hospital in Charity City decided to give her a call. She didn't even remember applying but if they were calling she took her ass straight to Charity Beach and became a nurse. Eventually getting herself acquainted with her new surroundings and a nice new apartment just for herself.
Though, Kashmira wants to follow her grandmother's footsteps and be the start of a massive family that'll hold her in high regards!

▼ | POWER CLASSIFICATION : |
Type-Red
▼ | POWER DESCRIPTION : |
Stone-Manipulation.
Kashmira's main power she received on contact with the red crystal, she's capable of manipulating all forms of stone; whether natural or artificial. At it's most basic her manipulation allows her to move and shape the earth, however her control is a more refined version of it. Instead of raw power her ability primarily focuses on precision. While she can't cause a landslide or collapse a building with a snap of her fingers she can create functionally anything out of stone. She can erect walls, pillars, spikes, and more out of the group, and send chunks of stone flying. Kashmira finds it easier to control smaller stone than larger pieces. Kashmira has to do this through body motions, so she can launch objects out of the ground by stomping her foot and can knock over stone pillars by casually pushing her hand over. It can it any body movement, as it's a connection between her power mind and body. Kashmira has a ton of potential with her ability and has plenty of advanced techniques in her arsenal. Such as creating weapons/armor, flying using her ability, and controlling sand.
Now let me explain what "The Bond" is. It's a trait shared between anyone who shares the same blood as Hanumanta Patel that is independent of their Metahuman energy; it's an effect that allows Metahuman Sarais and those related to Hanumanta to boost their abilities by being near each other - exponentially so if they are touching. For example; when Kashmira was touching her twin sister Rashmika, her range almost tripled and she can do more destructive feats. However, the Bond comes with the cost of losing control - while Kashmira gets more destructive she loses that gentle fine control that allows her to sculpt. Anyone who has Hanumanta's genes and manifests a power can use the bond - and it'll only work if they are two Metahumans. Oddly enough, none of her family have to possess the type-green energy, almost like it's an effect of different power in and of itself. So none of them are chromatics, purely have their own power. Hanumanta has a very complicated family true with many grandchildren and other people that share her blood, so there are dozens who have the Bond and in the future, there could be hundreds with it. However, since Kashmira is alone in the story it won't come into play.
▼ | LIMITS : |
Kashmira's Stone-Manipulation has a painfully short range - around sixteen feet of herself, but she can best control stone that is closest to her. Kashmira has the easiest time manipulating smaller pieces of stone than larger chunks. So that example of her erecting a pillar out of the ground? It would be very tiring and straining on the girl. As stated before, her ability is more focused on precision than raw power so she has an easier time shaping a stone surface than making earthquakes. Seemingly, she feels as if her power is more focused on creativity than destruction. Her stone manipulation requires contact with the ground or contact with the stone surfaces. The purity also plays a part as the stone that's diluted with other elements such as concrete is harder to control.
▼ | WEAKNESSES : |
Kashmira has a lot of potential and physical strength that can't be ignored, and FAMA classifies her as a high-level threat. However, Kashmira is a mighty-glacier, she has a lot of strength, but it requires that she's slow-moving or immobile in order to use her power. Mixed with the pathetic range and the fact that she's not too fast herself, her power will leave her helpless if she has to deal with a faster moving opponent. Using her ability causes nausea, physical weakness, and more - which gets even worse if she tries to do an extreme feat. Due to the fact that stone is heavy, it's very difficult to use the ability in the first place and far more tiring than other elements.
⫸ O T H E R ⫷
"Everyone is seemingly born with... uh, what was that phrase? "Growing pains"? I hope with compassion we can get through these "pains" before they get worse, much worse."
Kashmira was raised as a devout follower of Shaivism and has no intentions of changing that. She is a vegetarian and refuses to eat meat on the grounds of said religion.
Kashmira's grandmother gave her a necklace that has a Delta-Crystal woven into it, and she keeps it hidden safely in her apartment. She's afraid of it, but will not hesitate to use it in the case of an emergency.

▼ | PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : |
Ashley is a girl that carries herself in a withdrawn manner, it's almost as if the girl is constantly trying not to draw attention to herself. She takes small calculated steps and usually keeps her head down. The teen's most striking feature is probably her hair, which is platinum (dyed), straight from all the ironing she does, and goes all the way down to her stomach. It nearly contradicts her demeanor; as a girl who tries not to stick out has a feature that sticks out so much - it moves and flows with her body's movements and at the end of the night she makes sure to tend to it. Other than that, Ashley speaks with a Californian accent, but her voice is somewhat deep and husky - nothing that makes her sound anything other than a female, but it catches some people off guard. Though, it's definitely not a voice that she'll make a singing career out of.
In terms of her build; the girl is skinny. All that yoga and early morning jog that she hears about works for keeping her thin - though it's more of the fact that she has good genetics than anything else. Ashley has a flat stomach with thin limbs, and it's hard to call Ashley anything but a toothpick. She doesn't have a whole lot of curves with 30A's and hips that get hidden under anything that isn't skin tight - and her body shape is relatively square. Because of the same jogging, she got exposed to a healthy amount of sun and her skin is far from pale. The girl is merely an inch over the female average, nothing that anyone would really notice or pay any attention to. The girl is a mishmash of different European countries - primarily she's French with a bit of English in her blood, after a surprising ancestry test she found out that she was distantly African.

▼ | BACK STORY : |
So Ashley was born as a trio of triplets, with her siblings being Olivia (The oldest out of the three), and Krystal (A name that her father picked out because he thought it was funny). You see, her father, Vincent Stone was a master at Yale and got a job in Silicon Valley, so the Stone family lived pretty comfortably in the city of San Francisco. Ashley wasn't exactly an overly social person, she primarily kept to herself but held a conversation if necessary. Which was a contrast to her more social and outgoing sisters who had become fairly popular in school. She was very close to her mother, who she imparted much of her knowledge and morals on Ashley. She told her that the world was a very cold and unforgiving place and that she had to stay on her toes at all times if she was going to survive. It wasn't something that her siblings had agreed with but it was something that Ashley held onto.
Her sisters were more outgoing and were able to convince Ashley to get out more by getting her to go to a concert by a local band. Ashley really enjoyed herself and was quickly initiated into the lifestyle; of the loud and wild party girl. It started with that concert, then sneaking out at night with her sisters just became Saturday nights. She just enjoyed the energy that could be found here, and the alcohol and drugs just came secondary. Of course, this didn't go well forever, at one house party Ashley got really drunk and found herself alone with a guy. She found him kind of hot, but he was getting way too aggressive when he forced himself on her. Ashley attempted to fight the guy off, but it was her sister that came to save her when she hit him in the back of the head with a lamp. Ashley desperately tore home and took a shower and tried to desperately forget what happened.
Afterward Ashley remembered what her mother told her and decided to quit while she was ahead and focus on her schooling. However, that encounter wasn't as simple as it first seemed; as that boy was a Type-Green Metahuman and she got a bit of the energy from him. She was compatible with the energy and that was enough to infect her. After a few months Ashley quietly manifested, but so did her sisters around the same time - exposed to the Delta-Energy from different sources. Ashley realized her power when, while fooling around with her sisters, accidentally upgraded Olivia's power. This was a scary experience and they had a long sit down about their powers; Olivia had the ability to mutate animals into horrific monsters and Krystal had the ability to produce sonic screams.
After some experimenting, they figured out what Ashley's power was; the ability to upgrade the powers of other Metahumans and borrow their powers. Of course, Ashley was very hesitant to tell FAMA and register her power because she was frightened that they may try to use her as a weapon. She heard the stories and didn't want to be used as a tool, so she kept her power a secret. What they didn't realize was that Ashley did was upgrade Olivia's ability to working on people, too. When Olivia went to school a few days she accidentally brushed against a classmate and turned him into a monster. He went on a massive rampage that almost killed Olivia, so Ashley and Krystal teamed up to get their sister out of the line of fire. FAMA arrived on the scene shortly afterward and detained the monster... and Olivia.
You see, FAMA tracked it to Olivia and she was blamed for the accident, and she was whisked away to prison. To the outrage of the entire Stone family and they fought tooth and nail to get her out - to no avail. They also registered Ashley and attempted to get her arrested for dodging registration but when the Stones lawyered up, they managed to talk them down. They asked her to come to Academy 003 as a "settlement" for the whole situation which Ashley begrudgingly accepted (against the wishes of her father) due to the fact she wanted to learn how to use these stupid powers.

▼ | POWER CLASSIFICATION : |
Type-Green
▼ | POWER DESCRIPTION : | Limited-Power Manipulation.
Power Manipulation is a good umbrella term for Ashley's ability. When her ability manifested, Ashley gained an interaction with the Delta-Point energy. While she hasn't realized her full potential yet, but Ashley is capable of making alterations to the powers of Metahumans around them. She won't be able to, say, turn someone with super strength into a light-bender, but she'll be able to make alterations. She potentially has the capability of becoming the most powerful Metahumn in existence. It'll take decades upon decades of learning the ins and outs of her ability before she reaches that point - so it'll be unlikely if the ability's true potential ever comes into play in this story. At the moment, her power is more of boosting powers. Her power comes in four forms:
■ Power-Upgrading.
One of the primary aspects of her power is that Ashley is capable of administering permanent mutations to powers upon extended contact known as "Upgrades". These upgrades tend to strengthen power, alter specific aspects, remove limits, or add on a whole new trait altogether. For example, she could give someone with super strength a Super-system power that works to supplement their strength. She could give a Pyrokinetic the ability to create bigger, hotter, flames. It all depends on the power, but anyone can get any neat trick, with no downsides as these upgrades are always beneficial. These upgrades are permanent, with no limit to how many people she could give upgrades to (How often is another matter). I'll be discussing possible upgrades with people for their characters.
■ Power-Sponsoring
The other half of Ashley's primary powers is a quasi-Power Replication ability. Upon contact, Ashley can burrow a bit of someone's power if they allow her to and is able to utilize it. She will gain the power long as the Sponsor allows her to, which makes it near-impossible if she's trying to get a power from an opponent. Whenever she gets a Power-Sponsor, she gains a diluted version of the power, without fancy tricks. For example, if she copied a water bender's power, she'd only be able to move water, not alter its properties in any way. She could copy super-strength and wouldn't have as much physical strength. Ashley will retain these powers as long as she remains in proximity to the person. It is possible for her use multiple powers at once, long as people remain close to her. But she hasn't practiced it yet.
■ Power-Granting.
Ashley hasn't discovered this aspect of her power yet (however, she has used it accidentally), but she has the ability to grant superpowers to ordinary people. She can grant these powers upon contact with any normal human being - and it can occur from so much as gracing her. It comes in two different forms depending on if a person is compatible with the energy; in the event, they are they will receive a random power of any type (Though it seemingly is affected by how Ashley is feeling). If they aren't compatible with the energy they'll temporarily receive a random power that they can utilize for about five hours. Afterward, the five hours are up they'll lose their ability and if they come back to Ashley they'll gain another random ability. It's possible, with time, that these people can hold the power a little longer.
■ Power-Immutability.
Ashley has demonstrated an immunity to other Type-Green powers. Her power cannot be charged, replicated/absorbed, nullified, or fiddled with in any way, it's virtually stagnant. All because her ability actively resists alterations to it. Stopping a replicator from copying her energy, or stopping a nullifier from doing their magic on her.
▼ | LIMITS : |
Ashley's upgrading power doesn't exactly have too many weaknesses, but it certainly has limits. For starters, no, she can't give herself any upgrades only other Metas. She can only give out an upgrade once every few days, which is a limit in place to make sure that she doesn't just go around giving everyone power boosts. She can only give out one upgrade per person and Ashley could also accidentally upgrade someone upon contact, nor can she control what type of upgrade she gives people. It doesn't matter whether or not that "someone" is a friend or a foe, she can't control it. Ashley's power sponsoring has a few limits, too and for starters, unlike true power replication, it relies on the other person's consent. If she isn't allowed to use their power, then she'll be powerless. She doesn't know how to use the power right off the bat, and due to the nature of it, it's unlikely she'll become super skilled in it either. It also depends on how close she is to the person; further away she is, the weaker the power gets. There's a range of upward fifteen meters and if she leaves this range, she'll lose the power and will have to request to use it again. Finally, while there's technically no limit to how many powers Ashley can borrow, the more she absorbs, the less stable they get. The harder to control they all will be, they will backfire, function incorrectly, and eventually, she'll overload and lose all of her powers. Afterward, she'll go through what is best described as a hangover, but will still be able to function enough to copy powers again. Ashley can grant as many peoples as people she comes in contact witth - however there is no off-switch for her power. Skin to skin contact will grant someone a power whether she wants to or not. Her Power-Immutability means she can't get benefits from powers such as charging, and etc, etc.
▼ | WEAKNESSES : |
There aren't a lot of weaknesses for her ability, the main weakness is that there's no directly offensive ability and when she gets "sponsored" she gets the weaknesses of the original. In addition, her power is very valuable to all the wrong people, and this makes her a target.
