Name: Alicia Cruz

Codename: Blast Girl

Age: 19 

Gender: Female

Place of Birth: Los Angeles, California

Affiliations: Her older sister, Kate Cruz.

Occupation: Currently, she's between High School and College. Also a super heroine obviously.

Appearance: [url=http://vitavitaar.deviantart.com/art/Gauntlet-Girl-458553809]Her hair is blonde and she has very lightly tanned skin, with green eyes. Her scarf is red, her jacket tan, her shirt white, and her shorts are blue. The gauntlets are red and black.[/url] As Blast Girl, Alicia wears a set of black goggles as well, and she retains the scarf. She wears a red and black leotard, with light armoring on her chest(though she mostly relies on not getting hit by anything worse then a fist). The most armor is on her boots, and rather than being for her protection(though they function for that as well), they're more for making her kicks more potent. She also wears a belt of cartridges for her gauntlets.

Powers: Alicia can manipulate her personal gravity. In action this means she can run on walls if she wants, and even survive massive falls via manipulation of her gravity. It allows her to perform impossible feats as well as be ridiculously difficult to move if she so chooses.

Skills: Alicia is excellent in hand-to-hand combat, taking regular martial arts lessons for most of her life, even before her powers awakened and she decided to become a superheroine. She is quite athletic, a good sprinter, and generally capable when it comes to physical activity.

Equipment/Resources: Alicia's main equipment is her Blast Knuckles, a pair of gauntlets designed and fabricated by her older sister, Kate Cruz, specifically for Alicia's Blast Girl persona. Held together by a series of microscopic projectors that emit an extremely powerful magnetic field, they can be activated and assembled on Alicia's hands at will. Manual assembly is possible but takes much more time. When assembling themselves they emit an intense glow. Kate built this trait in because it's more flashy and impressive. The circular portion of the gauntlets holds the cartridges, arranged in a ring of eight around each of Blast Girl's armored fists. Each time she punches, anywhere from two to eight of the cartridges(two by default, more if Blast Girl triggers them) are discharged. Each cartridge contains a hyperconcentrated form of specialized energy. This energy acts as a destructive blast, rocketing opponents back and increasing the power of Blast Girl's punches almost like the blast from an explosive shotgun. While the energy is capable of shattering solid walls and ripping through metal, living cells are more resistant to it, allowing Blast Girl to use the Blast Knuckles to non-lethally incapacitate living enemies. Kate Cruz manufactures the cartridges that act as ammunition for the Blast Knuckles, and Blast Girl carries as many as she can with her when she's going out to fight crime. In addition, she wears light armor on the vital areas of her chest, but is rather lacking in armor otherwise aside from on her boots. The Blast Knuckles and the armor on her chest are bullet proof, allowing her to protect herself from guns to a limited extent. The force from firing them can also be used to launch her into the air with assistance from her personal gravity abilities.

Weaknesses: Aside from her personal gravity manipulation and martial arts skills, Blast Girl is physically a normal human being who can be harmed as such. She can also run out of ammunition for her Blast Knuckles. They must be reloaded when all eight cartridges are fired, which is an automatic process but it still takes time

Psychological Profile: Alicia Cruz is an individual who displays a strong sense of justice. Even before her powers awakened, she was a girl who didn't tolerate innocent people getting hurt, or anyone causing trouble. She tried to handle all of this as best she could. She found even greater freedom with this as the costumed heroine Blast Girl, able to really fight real crime. Alicia is energetic and friendly to all those around her. Unless the people around her are bad guys, then they get punched in the face with energy blasts. She gets really fired up, especially when in the Blast Girl identity, dramatically declaring her intent to take down all evil without a single casualty, and declaring her superheroine name whenever she arrives on the scene. She condemns criminals for their crimes loudly and in an incredibly fiery manner as she beats them into unconsciousness to leave them for the police. Alicia is dedicated to never killing a criminal, always leaving them to the authorities. However, she has a bit of a tendency to charge into things without thinking them through. Alicia adores her older sister, but sometimes feels like, in spite of their ages, she's the "big sister" and Kate is the "little sister" in terms of their relationship.
Alicia is openly gay.

Biography: Alicia was born the second daughter to the wealthy Cruz family. Her older sister, Kate, was one year her senior. As she grew older, she began to discover many important things about her older sister. Firstly, Kate was highly intelligent, beyond her age. Secondly, she was highly immature and childish. In addition, when Alicia was seven years old, Kate was diagnosed with a chronic illness that, while not normally fatal, impacted her immune system and health, necessitating that the girl was not unnecessarily exposed to outside elements and frequently took ill without taking medication. A combination of these factors made Alicia begin to see herself as the older sister, even though she was the younger of the two. As Alicia attended martial arts lessons(and began to discover an unusual power at only ten years old...), Kate spent time subtly using her families' vast funds to provide herself with a means to relieve boredom resulting from her frequent confinement. Alicia found out about this a few years later, and was initially angry with her older sister, and attempted to ground her... until Kate revealed that not only did she learn of the ability Alicia had discovered, but was also trying to find a way to assist her in fighting crime like the superheroes that got reported on the news all the time. Alicia decided to take this opportunity, on the condition that Kate didn't use so much money that it hurt their family. Which, given the Cruz family's vast wealth, was not an issue at all. At eighteen, Kate finally completely it with some assistance from the Cruz family science department. Blast Knuckle. Alicia donned the identity of Blast Girl, and has been fighting crime whenever she's got the chance ever since,
