Apologies - I editted the spaces on Rori's when I moved it over. I write it in word and it's stupid formatting means it looks like spaces there and it upsets me to double space it there, then I always forget <.< xD
Now hearing voices, and curious as to what was going on, Rori turned their head back towards where people where. It seemed that the man with wood for an arm was now chatting with two other people. Turning their head slightly again Rori looked at these two people. They considered going over and introducing themselves, after all it was easier to enter a conversation than start one.
It took them a while to decide but eventually Rori stood up and moved over to where the three where talking. They didn't say anything at first, looking awkwardly at the other three from the side and trying to decide whether to just change their mind and go back over to where they had been sitting. However... they were going to have to make new friends with the new year. There were a lot of new people this time, it seemed. Rori recognised very few of the people around.
Deciding to stop being a wimp, and have some confidence in their social abilities, Rori managed to get out a few words to the three people who were talking. "Apologies for being rude, but I was wondering if I could enter this conversations. Introductions do seem like a good idea." They smiled. "I'm Rori."
Synnove Ovesen
There was no more space on the paper. Great. Now Syn was bored all over again. Hopefully they would reach the island soon. Then she could locate a computer, or start building more things. Though she would have to speak to whatever room mate she got, which could be interesting.
With a frown Syn crumpled up the piece of paper, stuffing it and the pen in her pocket as she stood up and walked outside. The air was brisk and cold but it could be worse. The choppy water around them was something she could do without. Getting wet didn't particularly mix with electricity. Because of the coldness there were less people outside, thankfully, and she ignored those that were.
The reasonably tall blonde rubbed her hands together with a shiver but didn't move back inside for the warmth. They'd be there soon, hopefully, and she would have a better view of the place as they came into dock from here.
@Mr Allen JPower's changed for Max. I may need to add a bit more for the weaknesss, but if so I need some suggestions since I'm a bit tired thus doing badly there:
Basic Information
Name:
Maxine Ivanna Diaz 'Max'
Age:
18
Gender:
Female
Appearance & Attire:
Often found wearing a somewhat violent expression Max can be rather intimidating, even at only 5'3" tall. There are certainly rare occasions where she does not look as if she is about to kill all those around but those are, well, few and far between. Max looks reasonably strong for her height. Her raw strength is something that she works on through training in combat and doing a lot of exercise. She is certainly physically fit and this is something that is often obvious when people she her. While she is certainly not overweight, most of her weight coming from the muscles she has, she couldn't be described as skinny. She has an unfortunate lack of curves, something that she herself doesn't care about. Her chest isn't quite flat but in certain clothing it's difficult to tell if anything is there. Max certainly doesn't have anything near the ideal feminine body, often looking somewhat more masculine. She pulls it off, however, and has no issue with the lack of curves.
Max's hair is a dark brown in colour. The left hand side is practically shaved, styled as an undercut. The rest is swept over to the right and often covers her eyes. At the front this falls to her chin and at the back it goes just past the nape of her neck. Sometimes she'll have her hair slightly dyed. The ends of it are currently a reddish colour from the last time she dyed it but the rest is it's natural colour. Her hair frames her incredibly dark brown, almost black eyes. Her eyes are turned up slightly and somewhat narrow. Her face is slightly oval shaped with surprisingly soft lines. Her skin tone is an olive tanned tone thanks to her Latin American/Hispanic heritage. She has thick, dark eyebrows and medium sized lips. All of this together means that her facial features look a lot more feminine than her body does. However she only rarely wears makeup, and in when she does it tends to be very dark. She has quite a few visible scars on both her face and arms, all from fights. There are quite a few that are also hidden by any clothes she wears.
Max tends to wear clothes that are a mix of blacks and reds, with the occasional other dark colour or white thrown in there. She tends to go for some combination of ripped jeans, tank tops (or any top really) along with a leather jacket and boots.
Fighting: Max is good at hand to hand combat and street fighting. She got most of her training from criminals and as a result fights dirty. She knows how to use weapons like a knife in combat if needed.
Deception: Max is a pretty good liar, good to spinning a tale and getting people to believe her. This helps with all sorts of things. It can help make people believe she's harmless and often makes it all the easier to steal from them, or something similar.
Gymnastics: Though she doesn't necessarily look it Max is pretty flexible due to doing gymnastics at a young age, and continuing it for a bit in her early teens. She kept up this flexibility and can do all sorts of fancy things such as handstands and forward flips. It's not a skill she uses much anymore, though.
Gardening: Max rarely admits it but she has something of a talent for growing plants and flowers. She enjoys it as well but tends to keep it secret because it seems like it isn't a tough enough hobby for someone like her to have. Even so she tends to have one or two plants wherever she lives, though she goes for more dangerous varieties.
Brief Backstory:
Max's parent's relationship was built off of something akin to a love story. Her father was a metahuman part of a small gang and her mother a devout Christian. She put her love for him over her religious views, and he gave up the gang life to raise a family. As a result both were somewhat ostracised from their sides of the family.
Even so Max grew up in a loving household. She was surprisingly close to her four year older brother, Sal, and the two of them spent most of their time play fighting (in a friendly way). Along with this Max spent a lot of time with her cousin, Rori (Roisin at the time), though she could tell that things were tense between her mother and her aunt.
Max always knew of the existence of metahumans due to her father and brother being registered as them. Her brother was one of the few born a metahuman with inherited powers, with the super-system power of regeneration. Max was always slightly jealous because she felt that she was normal without a power.
At the age of ten Max was forced to up and move, leaving behind her cousin that she had grown close to. She has never been sure of the exact reason but thinks it was something to do with the fact her brother and father were metahumans. They moved to Black Fall and lived here relatively happily until Max was twelve, and her brother sixteen.
The family got in a tragic car accident that resulted in the death of both Max's father and mother. Salvador survived due to his regeneration and Max seemed to survive for the same reason. It was assumed that their father suffered injuries he couldn't recover from. The two of them were sent to live with their uncle on their father's side, who left them mostly to their own devices having never wanted kids.
Max and Sal both fell into a bad crowd at this stage, though Max was mostly tagging along with her older 'cool' brother at this point. After beginning a life of crime they joined a minor metahuman gang. It was here that Max discovered the truth about her powers. She didn't have regeneration, rather she weakened another's power and temporarily gained it. This was why her father had died. The power she had made her a valuable member of the gang. It was here that she learned to fight and steal. By the age of fourteen she was regularly involved in street fights, doing drugs and participating in all sorts of gang activities. She miraculously managed to stay out of NEST's radar, being completely unregistered. However her, and a few others around her age, were caught doing minor crimes and noted down by the police force due to this.
By sixteen Max had changed into a somewhat more violent person, though she had always had this streak in her. She had hooked up with people of both genders and was enjoying the gang lifestyle far too much. The gang she was in was growing more prominent and coming to the attention of the authorities. A raid on gang owned buildings resulted in the arrest of a lot of the members, including Max's older brother. It was sheer luck that she wasn't caught.
She continued to live the same life, just more cautious, but missed her brother (not that she would admit this). Now in a different metahuman gang, due to her reasonably valuable power, she and a small group slipped up when out to kill a member of a rival gang. They were caught and all arrested. After spending a short period of time in prison, being questioned about the whereabouts of other gang members, she was brought to NEST to have the nature of her power tested.
It was at this point she was given the option of joining the academy scheme. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Better to live in relative freedom than in jail for years on age. She took the opportunity and it was by pure coincidence that her cousin was at the academy she was sent to, Academy 218.
Power Information
Power Class:
Power
Power: Power Replication
Max has the ability to replicate the powers of others. This replication is not specific to one class, however there are some she struggles to replicate more than others. She seems to find the super-system class the easiest to replicate. She can replicate up to four powers it seems, however they each must be of a different class. So for example she could not replicate two different super-system powers. In terms of choosing whether she can replicate a power, this varies. She has gotten to the stage of control where she can pick and choose whether she replicates a power if it is of the super-system class. However not for the other classes. Any new powers she gets will replace the one in the 'slot' of its class of power, essentially replacing that one. If she does not use a power for a long time she will lose it, in a way. This means she has to use each in a reasonably regular basis.
On top of this she can only use one power at a time. Which power she can use seems to be reset dependant on her sleep - she needs to sleep a certain amount of time to change what power she is using. However there are some limits to this - she must have used the power that she is currently locked into to then change it. This means if she does not know how to use a power she will be stuck with it until she can work out how to do so.
Current Powers Replicated:
Regeneration: (Super-system Class) From her father Max has the ability to regenerate. This allows her to heal wounds that she sustains at a reasonable rate, and she can repair bones and muscle damage at a faster rate than most others. This allows her to survive things that other's wouldn't necessarily be able to.
Telekinesis: (Cerebral Class) Replicated from a member of the gang she was part of before being nabbed by NEST, this is the one that Max tends to stick in since she's reasonably comfortable with it. However it isn't that powerful. She can move one object of a medium wait (say, a chair) and two that are light (for example knives). This takes a decent amount of concentration it is obvious she is the one moving them. She can only pull and push the objects rather than changing their form, such as bending them. However she is working on getting better at this and will probably learn more the more she uses it.
Limits:
She has to have skin to skin contact to replicate someone's power. The longer she holds this contact the more powerful a version of the power she replicates.
She doesn't necessarily know what power someone has or how to use it meaning she can end up with a power completely useless to her. She doesn't have a very long time to learn how to use it either.
She can only have up to four powers, each of a different class. These are replaced by class so she only ever has a power of one class. She cannot always choose whether she replicates someone's powers or not. Along with this she can only use one at the time, and this changes after she has slept for eight hours AND used the current power she is locked into. However if she replicates a new power she switches to using the one rather the previous one.
She is also limited by the power. Regeneration wise there are only so many wounds that she can heal, and often she can only fully regenerate the smaller ones. For telekinesis she is limited to ten feet away from her, and objects of a medium weight. She needs to concentrate to do more than one small object and breaks in her concentration cause her to lose control.
Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
The fact that she has to have skin to skin contact can be a weakness. This leaves her vulnerable as she weakens her targets power and means she has to get close to them in the first place which is not always a viable option. This can leave her in all sorts bad situations.
She can only change power after using the one she currently has. This means if she does not know how to use a power she is stuck with it until she can figure it out.
Using powers of others is quite taxing on her body. While the powers themselves need no fuel they use up a lot of the essential nutrients she has within her body. Using the powers will cause Max to begin to both dehydrate and starve, meaning she must eat and drink a lot more than normal while using them. If she does not eat or drink she will grow weaker, her reactions slower. This will eventually push her to death by starvation/dehydration if she keeps using her power.
Along with this Max gains the weakness of whatever power she steals.
Regeneration Weaknesses: Incredibly painful to do, does not regain any lost blood ect. She cannot regenerate massive wounds meaning that any life threatening wounds would kill her. While the wound is healed her body still suffered the damage, leaving her weaker after regenerating.
Telekinesis weaknesses: Must concentrate to be able to keep using the power. Tiring mentally on her and doing it for too long will cause blinding headaches and migraines, and often put her in a bad mood and make her tired.
Relationships
Family:
Felipe Diaz - Father (Deceased, Regeneration) Naomi Diaz - Mother (Deceased) Salvador Diaz - Older Brother (Regeneration) Breandan Aherne - Uncle Elizabeth Aherne - Aunt Roisin Aherne - Cousin (Bird Transformation) Aiden, Saiorse, Eva and Conor Aherne - Cousins
Dynamics:
Basically your character's relationship with other characters. Rori Aherne | Mostly Good | Friend / Cousin | "It's been ages since I spent time with Rori, but they've hardly changed. Still so damn optimistic and I'm not sure I like that." |
Other
Personality wise Max is pretty violent and gets angry pretty easily. This doesn't mean that she's necessarily unfriendly. She's incredibly flirtatious. She doesn't put up with shit and isn't going to be sympathetic about people's problems, or get emotional and cry or something like that.
Max picks fights and gets in trouble far too often. She doesn't really care about the rules - they're just there to be broken after all.
@Mr Allen J sure thing, I wasnt sure if the power would be okay anyway but by then Id already written it up. Is replicating okay? Then I don't have to change the backstory. I'll try edit that tonight but not sure I'll.
Edit: in terms of replication would you want it so she can only replicate one class, like how Wendy's replication is?
@Mr Allen J here's the post with the third character (since I can't post it anew because phone haha)
And as those two are accepted, I post a third xD Admittedly this is the last. There's a possibility she may be problematic power wise? I'm unsure but I ran with the idea I had and I'm willing to change if need be.

Power Information
Power Class:
Power
Power:
In simple terms Max has the power to weaken another's power and temporarily 'steal' it (however their own power is not disable so it is more minor replication).
Power Weakening
Max's power means that she can choose to weaken the power of another. This may mean that it does not last for as long as it normally would, does less damage, that they can't get to their maximum potential or other similar things. In general it is only weakened for a few hours, at most a day (which takes a lot of energy). She can control the amount a power is weakened if she concentrates hard enough.
Power 'Stealing'
When Max weakens a power she can also replicate this power temporarily. This means she gains a power almost identical to the person's who she weakened. However it is also much weaker than the original users and she only keeps this power temporarily. The most she has kept a power is two days. This does mean that she can use any other person's power, however, as long as she manages to weaken their own. She seems to be able to 'steal' a power of any class.
Limits:
Can only weaken a power so much. She the more she weakens one person's power the more she will struggle to weaken another. The longest she can weaken someone's power for is a day at a push. She only temporarily 'steals' powers. The rarely keeps it for more than two days meaning that she has to be constantly weakening other powers if she wants to use them and people are hardly okay with this. She seems to only be able to steal up to four, maybe five, powers. She has to have skin to skin contact to weaken/steal someone's power. The longer this contact is kept the more she can weaken their power.
Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
The fact that she has to have skin to skin contact is a weakness. This leaves her vulnerable as she weakens her targets power and means she has to get close to them in the first place which is not always a viable option. This can leave her in all sorts bad situations. She doesn't necessarily know what power someone has or how to use it meaning she can end up with a power completely useless to her. She doesn't have a very long time to learn how to use it either. The more Max weakens others power the weaker she gets physically, often leaving her vulnerable. This goes to the point where she falls unconscious. Her movement will often slow, she will get hungry, thirsty and tired and have a difficult doing anything if she weakens others powers too much. Along with this Max gains the weakness of whatever power she steals.
