Since this is still open

Name: Caroline Flint
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Appearance: The mask is for her alias.

Personality: To most people, Caroline is an extremely cheerful person that enjoys making everyone around her laugh, but that is only a shell that she shows to the outside world. In truth, most of the times, Caroline is just plain bored and suspicious of everything around her. She hates being around other people, but it's a necessity in her line of work, so she entertains herself by tricking them. This can also give her some extra currency if she so desires, but she hardly ever uses her skills to steal from people. Still, besides all this, she fights for justice, because she knows that if she doesn't, the world of lies that she lives in will become even worse.

Skills: Puppeteering, faking emotions, voice mimicking, acrobatics (Trapeze), and the most important, the skill to know what most people want to hear.

Weaknesses: Due to the skills she acquired, she also grew suspicious of everyone. She has an hard time trusting anyone because she knows how to trick other people using just words. She is also overly protective of her collection of hand-made puppets that she used to use on her childhood. If someone were to take that, they could have complete control over her.

Bio: Caroline was actually born in Millennia City, more exactly, on a circus. While her father was a magician, skilled in the art of illusion and slight of hand, her mother was a trapeze artist by day and a fortune teller by night. All the skills that that they had gotten, came from their parents, and it was also the same for Caroline. When you grow on a traveling circus, you have to grow fast. You need to learn the best skill to get money that you can. On Caroline's case, the first was puppeteering, Her parents were always out, working, and there weren't many children of her age on the circus. That's why she decided to create her own. Hand-made puppets. They were made with old pillows, sticks and string. They weren't really well made, but it was with them that Caroline learned, on her own, the wonders of puppeteering.

Even if she did great shows though, puppeteering wasn't bringing enough money to the tent, so she joined her mother to learn trapeze and how to trick people with fortune telling. Truth be told, Caroline was a bit sad when she realized that there was no such thing as fortune telling and that it was just a scheme based on the ability to read people and know what they want to hear. It was also with her mother that Caroline learned how to fake emotions, and with her father, who had also done some work as a comedian, she learned how to mimic voices.

One day, after a normal day of work, various agents from various institutions showed up and arrested everyone that worked in the circus, except her and her mother that managed to stay hidden on a secret compartment below her tent. It was normally used to hide the various items that her father managed to steal from the crowd, but it was just big enough to hide them both. The police never found them or even knew of their existence. No one on the circus told the police of their existence. After two days though, everything went back to normal. The police had nothing against the group and acted only due to an anonymous tip, made only to scare the circus away. The tip's function did work however, for the owner decided that it was time to leave Millennia City. She was 14 years old.

For 10 years, she traveled with the circus from place to place, finding strange new towns, people, and even a strange power inside her. While she was traveling, the circus stopped near some old ruins to spend the night and Caroline decided to explore them alone. While she was exploring, the ground collapsed below her and revealed a secret passage to a chest. Curious as she was at that time, she decided to take a look at what was inside. She discovered a strange black puppeteer puppet. When she touched if however, the puppet started to glow red and flew straight in to her chest, disappearing inside it as if by magic. As soon as that happened, multiple strings of various colors, mostly black, appeared from her fingers and enveloped her, forming a flower decorated black kimono. Before returning on her tent though, she looked once again in to the chest and found a strange fox mask and a note with a strange language that she had never seen before, but that for some reason, she could read. On the note were the following words. "My time is gone. It is your turn now to save the world." On the note were also a couple of instructions on how to control her powers, and Caroline spent the whole night learning how to do it. Every night after that, she practiced her skills, but never did she use them to help someone.

It was only after returning to Millennia City, 10 years after first leaving, that they discovered the meaning of the tip that first made them go away. A rival circus wanted their spot, and after Caroline's circus had abandoned it, they didn't even flinch at taking the chance. Her father, the owner of her circus and some other male artists decided to go ask for explanations as to why the rival circus had done such a thing, but they never came back from that trip. This was when Caroline decided to use her powers to find out what really happened to her father, but first she needed help. After a few arrests of her own, she started to create a name for herself. Using the same mask and dress made of string that she found herself wearing when she found the doll, she became Black Puppet, and now, she was looking for a team.

Relationship: Single
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Alias: Black Puppet

Origin of Powers: Magical Doll that she found on some ruins. More on this is on the bio.
Description of Powers: Caroline's powers are to create strings of the color she wishes from her fingers and attach them to buildings or people (will be explained further in). These strings are more durable than normal strings and are able to support the weight of two people and she normally uses them in order to swing from side to side, or to create an horizontal string that she can stand on and appear to be floating on mid hair. She can also combine the strings to make more durable strings, but this also makes them more visible. Once a string is attached, she is able to retract them in to herself. What happens after is determined on the weight of what the string is attached to. If the object/person she is attached to weights more than her, then she is propelled towards the object. If however, the reverse is true, then the object/person attached is flown towards her. One way to trick this however.

A slightly more darker use of her power is when she attaches the strings to people. When she does this, she is able to take control of that person as if she was a puppeteer, ordering her puppet to do whatever she wanted to. She needs five strings on five different places of the body to be able to do this. (Head, arms and legs)

Weaknesses of Powers: Caroline is only able to use up to ten strings at the same time, five from each hand, and even though the strings are more durable, they can definitely be cut by a sharp enough object, or even burned with fire. Another weakness is that when she is controlling someone, she has to stay focused on that person, or takes the risk of that person being able to take control over their body again.

Role in the Media and Public Eye: Caroline tends to stay away from cameras or reporters, but she is definitely known as an hero. She enjoys her privacy and it's the reason why she wears her mask. The one thing she hides the most from people though, is the ability to control people.

Other: I Will Rise. Also, I would like to add that I will not use the puppet ability on PC characters unless agreeable by both parts.

You are right about the HQ, we are indeed going to have one. And I believe that the HQ will have a set of equipment stored within it, but nothing to advanced at the start of the RP. We might not even have a set of equipment at the start.

@Grim327
ACCEPTED
Welcome to Heroes Among Us!

GM NOTE: Teams are currently being assigned, if after the teams are assigned, and you have a problem with the positioning, let both me and datadogie know. Perhaps there will be something we can adjust.

@Dragonydas
ACCEPTED
I have to say, I'm still a little weary about the puppet power, but after quite some consideration, I've come to allow it. As long as PC use is under strict "No" policy. This however can be overridden if another player allows it.. But needless to say, I do not want to see this in action against other players otherwise.
