Kidd

Power Play

Vivian was on the scene, watching from a safe distance as firemen did their best against the growing fire. She had a red lollipop and suspiciously fresh clothes, lifted from the department store that was being consumed before her. In her defense, she hadn't meant to start the fire, but another super got a bit to close to removing her mask on the inside. She had responded by destroying the set of lights between them. Clothes were so flammable. It bought the Reaper time to escape while the super--a true hero--switched his attention to getting innocent bystanders out of the burning building. It seems he missed a couple, though, she thought as she watched the newscast.

Vivian had grabbed clothes and makeup, returned to her room, changed, and was back at the scene of the crime to watch the rest unfold. Teleportation had its perks. A crowd was gathering as well, she noted with a slight grin. She swirled her tongue around the lollipop before freeing her hand to reach into a pocket in front of her, looting the wallet. The target was so engrossed with the fire and news van and big red truck that he didn't notice her light touch.

Satisfied, she wandered away and then past him to get a better look at the scene as it continued to unfold. She wondered if that particular super would make it out alive, and when other vigilantes would arrive.

Elara Decaux

Elara returned from the back to find two men watching the bathroom door. She supposed it looked bad, with blood all over the place, and she swiftly cleaned up when they didn't ask for a drink. Though the man emerged just fine as she finished cleaning up the blood, and she set out a yellow sign warning against the slick floor as she pushed the mop and bucket aside. She was moving to check on the grizzled man's injured hand when he spoke to her again."It's my job, sir. And if you're sure you're okay..." her voice trailed off as she stepped back behind the counter, her grey eyes lingering upon his bandaged hand. Why would he be carrying that around? Did he break glasses often?

She prepared two simple drinks--whiskey on ice--before moving around the bar to set it at the men's table. Though as she closed the distance, her nose wrinkled and her gaze flickered to the older man. She paused, watching him for a moment too long. Then she suddenly cleared her throat and set the whiskeys before them. "From the only other guy in the bar," she joked, though there was tension in her voice.

Elara Decaux

Elara knew she absolutely shouldn't have poured the man another drink. However, not only did Americans tip, they tipped more when they were drunk. So she shrugged as she poured him another whiskey before turning to her register and adding another to his growing tab. A smile remained on her face and her long--wavey today--dark hair bounced as she stepped between customers. Her tank top brandished the the bar's logo, but that's not what the other was looking at as she got on her toes and leaned over the counter to better hear a man's order. She was learning quite fast--she was already fluent in English, but working as a bartender had given her the chance to learn a variety of alcohols and bar slang. Granted, she didn't always get it right.

The young woman bit her lip, eyes wandering the ceiling for an answer to her question: "That's with vodka, yes?" Her accent was thick and low.

The answer was interrupted by the shattering of glass. Elara immediately pulled her away to her full height, eyes looking to the whiskey pooling over the counter and the man grumbling. The man she was serving had been stunned to silence, but she was on the move. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked as she quickly moved to pick up a rag--almost too quickly. It wasn't until she dropped the rag down on the spilled whiskey did she also smell the blood and see its red soaking into the white towel. "Oh non--" She abandoned the rag to try to reach over the counter, to check the man's hand. But he simply stumbled away and into the men's restroom.

"Um," she started, looking around for help--ideally for another man to follow him into the restroom while she cleaned up the bar.

@Blazion Honestly I really like it and I can see a rivalry blooming lol. They have a similar persona to play but in appearance and personality they are nearly opposites (Vivian seeming friendly but being an ass and Zoey being an ass but with a better morality). I think itll be interesting to explore.

Vivian Vanbrooke | 26 | ♀

about

APPEARANCE

Her round face and golden brown eyes; and her dark hair falls straight, stopping just short of her chin. She uses makeup to accent her eyes: the black eyeliner is thick, the eye shadow gold, and the mascara volumizing. Much of her strength is in her toned legs as she's always on the move. Her clothing of choice is mostly neutral colors: browns, blacks, and greys. She wears fashion inspired by post apocalyptic fiction with a sprinkle of goth. Her jewelry tends to be gold in color and is often decorated by skulls. However, the intimidation she was going for is easily lost to her size: she stands no taller than 5'2" and weighs in at only about 105 lbs. Other notable characteristics are the many earrings, piercings on the side of her nose and belly button, and the tattoos that start on her upper arm and extends to her back.

PERSONALITY

As a child, Vivian was--to put it bluntly--creepy: she was a quiet kid with an intelligent and perceptive gaze, and she hasn't grown out of this. There is still a knowing gleam in her eyes, but its often accompanied by a smirk nowadays. She likes chit chat and has a broad sense of humor, finding almost anything funny. Because of this, she is extremely charismatic and has a natural gravity: people tend to be drawn to her despite her edgier appearance. She certainly stands out even in personality. She's snarky and sarcastic, and it's usually charming, but she can definitely take it too far into mean territory, giving further insight into her personality: she is not nice. As quirky and fun Vivian can be, she cares little for other people and has much more fun being antagonistic than she does friendly. Her personal interests include comic books and anime, inspiring the impracticality of her alter ego.

HOMETOWN

East London, England

BIOGRAPHY

Vivian was born across the Atlantic to a pair of dentists. All her youth, she was pushed toward education and tradition when all she wanted was to explore and experience the world. Instead of continuing to higher education, she skipped out and followed her at-the-time boyfriend's band to America. However, the band broke up, then they broke up, and Vivian was alone in a foreign country. For a few years, she bounced between jobs trying to make a living--often jobs that paid too little for too much work, off the books so she wouldn't have to return to England.

When her powers developed, all that changed: she took what she wanted and no longer worried about where her next paycheck or meal was coming from. Super Heroes are on the rise, however, and she needs a villainous persona to carry out her deeds.

SKILLS

- Pick pocket: Vivian came to America as a tourist, but now she preys on them. Her powers developing have only increased her success rate--or at least, her escape rate.
- (Novice) Combat: now that she risks tangling with superheroes and she has the ability to flee, she wants to develop her ability to fight. She's taking kick boxing classes twice a week to improve her athleticism.

The Reaper

POWER

Teleportation. Vivian is limited to teleporting how far she can clearly perceive. At her skill level, that means she's limited to as far as she can see. This is a distinct weakness for her because if it's dark or if she's blinded in some way, she's not going anywhere.

TOOLS

- Supervillain outfit: in order to conceal her identity, Vivian wears a gasmask and hood. With her boyish figure and cloak, as well, it's not easy to tell it's a woman under the clothes. People are generally unsure of The Reaper's gender.
- Supervillain weapon: a scythe, unused (for now). Vivian is one for theatrics, and while the scythe is an impractical weapon, it serves to define her motif of death. It's ultimately for the aesthetic and she doesn't know how to fight.

EXTRA

She does try to limit using her powers when she's dressed for the part, but she's also rather impulsive. In addition, while Vivian is rather talkative, the Reaper is ominously silent--truth is, her accent would be too recognizable if she engaged in conversation as the Reaper.

Sorry if you've seen the sheet already, @pyroman, but am I approved?

Power Play

Alright, here's Vivian. She's a baby villain right now, but I can see her growing into the role if this RP continues on long enough. Or maybe anti-hero role, we'll see. I'm not even sure if you want villain-like characters, and I'm willing to scrap and start over if this isn't what you had in mind for the RP. Also I know I said was considering genderbending, but that didn't happen because goth gf, lol.

Too much female

@Bluetommy

No such thing.

Though the character I have in mind is also female, lol, so I'm debating a genderbend.
