Getting my profile together.
It's a pretty mask, Flood... but what's with the roses and lipstick?
Devika inhaled and exhaled, closing her eyes as the Animus took hold. When she opened them again, she was... different. Not as different as she would have thought, though.

Her body, clad in a simple robe, was still husky, but now she could feel muscle and power in her limbs and frame. Her hands, which should have been soft from a life of ease, had been roughened by training and hard work. Something in her memory told her that the robe around her body was less than the finest, that she still wasn't used to such rough cloth. A smile spread over her face, as a cute pair of dimples showed. Her beauty would hide her talent- no one expected a woman of her station to be able to do much but speak well, dress well, and marry well. No one would ever suspect her to be capable of killing. But she was, in fact, quite capable.

"Are you hitting on me?" Flood asked as he grabbed his gun off of Devika's head. " If so then no. If you mean as friends then whatever." Flood began writing some notes down. " It appears that certain people have auto defenses against fear. Will need to find way past them in future." He noted as he put away the gun. "Thanks for helping me out Devika. I feel like I have a better grasp on the mechanics behind this. I need to find a way so the effect can last long after I stop firing. Maybe I'll go see Professor Crane about it." He said as he worked on his mask a bit more, sketching the details out.


"It was a pleasure to help, Flood." She smiled a bit, doing her best to completely ignore Gretchen. "If you come up with something strong enough to freak me out, I'll be impressed." It wasn't quite bragging, it was just honest. Devika wasn't really sure that she could be made to feel artificial fear. Maybe if someone had something she was truly, genuinely afraid of... "Hey... when you're done with your mask, maybe you can design one for me." She chuckled, then waved. "See you later." She went to take a quick shower in the girl's locker room.
Are you kidding? Jin will just punch them both and walk away. >_<
Devika felt the fear wash over her, then surround her. She felt herself working against it, deflecting what she could, taking in all she dared. Her palms started to sweat slightly, and her heart began to speed up. But the longer she stood there, the more she realized that if she wanted to, she could hit Flood without being hampered by fear.

"Well, it's getting there. But it's not going to stop me from fighting you."
Name: Devika Jones
Alias: Kumari
Age: 24
Powers: Empathy is her only non-human power. She can absorb, exude, and influence other people's emotions. Her other skills include sambo and some mixed martial arts, as well as the skilled use of a pair of kukri.
Weaknesses: She is human, with all the squishy weaknesses that implies. Her empathy doesn't stop working, and she has to concentrate to a certain degree to keep from being mentally overwhelmed by large crowds. She has to make skin contact with someone to truly direct her powers- otherwise they will come out like a cloud, with her at the center.
Personality: Devika is intelligent, socially inept (due to self-imposed isolation) and eccentric
Enemies: Heat/fire creation/ red and orange costume w/flames
Mimic/ body snatching + control / gunmetal gray and neon blue, lycra unitard w 80's legwarmers
Hometown: Miami FL
How long in Astro City: 6 months
Hero Experience: 2 years
Appearance:





BRIEF Bio: Devika was adopted as a baby by her two lawyer parents. Her empathy was discovered early in her childhood, and started learning to control her power from the time she was five. Her parents instilled her a strong sense of right and wrong. When she went to college, she discovered plenty of free time as her studies were fairly easy. The state of the city was like a rotting tooth. It looked fine, even shiny on the outside, but underneath it was just getting more disgusting. She took it upon herself to do something, going to all sorts of martial arts courses.
Devika, as the hero Kumari, started cleaning up the Miami streets, gaining strength, fame, and enemies. After graduation, she left for Astro City, as Miami had quieted during her time as Kumari.

Notes: Devika's suit has Kevlar weave and blade tangling mesh beneath lightweight armor plating. Her mask has perscription lenses set into it so things aren't blurry on the battlefield.
Devika nodded in acceptance before Flood fired. 100 levels? That was quite a bit of precision. Again, the feeling hit her, and again, she felt her training simply dilute the effects. Her heart raced a bit, but it was the same reaction she'd have if someone snuck up behind her and made a loud noise. Initial shock and fear, a burst of adrenaline... and then relief seconds later. "Hm." She pursed her lips. "I can feel it hitting, but it's nothing stronger than a horror movie jump scare." Exhaling, she shrugged again. "Can you maybe do a more extended blast? I think my discipline is getting in the way."
Jin didn't respond, still looking around at what she felt was the glorious beauty of nature. A soft laugh escaped her lips, as she did a slow turn to look at everything. Luna sniffed at everything nearby, and then took up a mouthful of grass. She chewed, and then quickly spit it away. Then she yowled at her trainer and batted her hand with a paw.

Jin blinked a few times, seeming to come back to the world. "Oh... I'm sorry. It's just so amazing." She started to walk then, still looking around. "Isn't it beautiful? Tell me this isn't beautiful..."
Devika felt something hit her. Just as soon as her heart beat started to accelerate slightly, years of training kicked in. She quelled her breathing and loosened her muscles, and the tiny bit of fear that had got past her mental barriers dissipated. She shook her head. "Nothing yet. I mean, my heart went a little bit faster, but that's nothing for me?" She shrugged. "Take it up another notch."
