[u][b]Name[/b][/u] Lonnie Lewis [u][b]Alias[/b][/u] Moxy [u][b]Age[/b][/u] 17 (though she tends to get mistaken for much younger) [u][b]Personality[/b][/u] Lonnie is somewhat of a wild child, incredibly playful, mischievous and always looking for trouble. She can't sit still, always twitching and fidgeting, which is not helped by the fact she gets bored pretty easily, dropping any task she's doing if something new and exciting comes along. She's like a little kid, but never say such things to her face as she's likely to hit you. Lonnie likes to pretend she's this tough, gruff, streetwise badass and, when around younger kids, plays up the 'cool big sis' persona, pretending that she's got all the answers and will look after the kids if they promise to always listen to her. With those older than her, however, she tends to get frustrated with them, trying to prove she's just as cool and capable. This can usually cause her to act very reckless in attempts to show off, and get her into trouble. Lonnie gets into trouble a lot, but is too stubborn to admit when she's done wrong. [u][b]Powers[/b][/u] - Lonnie has an interesting case of super-strength in that she becomes stronger the more hits she takes, absorbing the force of the blows against her and uses them to become more and more powerful. And the more damage she takes, the stronger she becomes. After about an hour or so of not receiving any physical damage, with her strength slowly diminishing as this time passes, her strength will finally leave and she'll have to sustain more damage in order to get her powers back. - Due to the nature of her powers, Lonnie is pretty good at taking hits, and has the stamina to keep fighting when most will have keeled over. She's also hinted to have slightly quicker healing than a normal person, but the difference between the healing rate of a normal person and Lonnie is fairly small. - If she focusses long enough, Lonnie finds she can block out the feeling of pain. However, doing this would weaken her super-strength, so she only does this if the pain is becoming unbearable. - Lonnie can forego sleep for much longer than a regular human being. [u][b]Weaknesses[/b][/u] - Because of her powers strengthening her resilience, Lonnie tends to think of herself as invincible, and will often jump into danger without thinking of the consequences, and has become a bit of a thrillseeker. Of course, she's not invincible, not by a long shot. She's just more tolerant to pain. For example, a bullet to the head, a fall from a great height or an explosion will definitely kill her, super-powered resilience or no. Though, other than those restrictions mentioned, no one is entirely sure about how far her resilience goes, and Lonnie likes to test her limits, trying to keep fighting until she either blacks out or, in the worst case, dies. - Blocking out her pain not only weakens her super-strength, but it also causes Lonnie's reaction time to suffer greatly. - In order to balance out her strong resilience and stamina, Lonnie has to take very long periods to sleep, which can last longer the more damage she takes and the longer she stays up for. She's also a heavy sleeper, so during these long sleeps, she is incredibly vulnerable. [u][b]Appearance[/b][/u] [hider=Lonnie in costume, made using doll-maker (somewhat inaccurate)][img]http://orig12.deviantart.net/d565/f/2015/084/c/a/lonnie_lewis_aka_moxie_by_hobo_pup-d8n2woj.jpg[/img][/hider] Imagine the character shown above but shorter, less curvaceous, and with a more stocky and boyish build. Her costume is also slightly ripped and torn, with some areas having to be patched up in places. [u][b]BRIEF Bio[/b][/u] Since age five, when her mother was first sentenced to four years in prison, Lonnie has been in and out of Care. In fact, it was during those first two years in Care that she started to notice her powers. There was this boy in the same Care Home, a rather tall, brash boy named Nathan, who had a tendency to bully and push around the younger and weaker kids. He especially took to messing with Lonnie, often stealing and destroying stuff, telling lies on her and spreading nasty rumours. Being an optimistic child, she did her best to ignore him, and was able to get on with things. However, towards the end of that first year, Nathan's bullying became more and more hostile, and he started actually being threatening and even physically violent against Lonnie, threatening to stab her with a pair of scissors, threatening to pull out her eyes with a pair of tweezers, hitting her, at one point even pushing her down the stairs... it was starting to get more and more difficult to ignore, and more and more unpleasant. At first, Lonnie considered telling someone about Nathan's behaviour, but, being too proud and wanting to show she could handle herself, she decided to deal with Nathan herself by trying to get back at him with a prank, where she replaced all his finished homework essays with blank sheets of paper and tore up the essays. However, she wasn't too clever about disposing of the ripped up papers, and Nathan found out it was her. So one day, after school, when Lonnie had been walking 'home', Nathan and several of his friends jumped her and started beating her up. This was the first time Lonnie's powers manifested, and she beat up the bullies before running off. When she returned to the Care Home, Nathan accused her of attacking him, but as Lonnie was a small 7 year old and Nathan a tall, strong 13 year old, no one believed him, and in fact, this caused the adults to wise up to his hostile attitude and send him away to a different Home. For the next couple of years, Lonnie started learning to use and hone her powers, and started actively targeting bullies and those who picked on the weak and defenceless. She even went to a couple of foster homes during this time, though none of them stuck as the foster parents found Lonnie to be a little too fiery and rebellious. When her mother finally got out of prison, she took Lonnie back, and mother and daughter tried to start a fresh new life together in Gotham City. It was tough for the first year or so, as Lonnie's mother had to struggle to get a job to support them, but they managed to make it work. Meanwhile, Lonnie continued to use her powers to go after bullies and, as she got older, proper criminals. Like the superheroes she admired, she actually got a costume together and took on the moniker 'Moxy'. Lonnie easily got addicted to the thrill of crime-fighting, which did cause some problems with her school, as her school work was suffering, and her mother, who was unaware as to her daughter's activities. Lonnie and her mother got into some serious fights about Lonnie's school-work suffering, how she was 'ruining her life' and how her mother wanted her to get the good life she wanted for her. The fights got worse and worse, as both women were too fiery and stubborn to back down. Recently, Lonnie went up against her first proper supervillain, Bane, who proved to be too much of a challenge for her, and she only survived through the interference of Batman, who had been monitoring her activities for the last couple of years. It was then he told her that she shouldn't continue to work alone anymore as her recklessness and the nature of her powers meant she was more likely to end up getting herself killed more than most superheroes. It was then that Batman recommended her to join the Outsiders, saying that they were the best team for 'someone like Lonnie'. Lonnie was somewhat reluctant but after receiving the offer again more recently, she caved in and has decided to join the Outsiders. After all: it might be fun. [u][b]What they bring to the team?[/b][/u] Lonnie will not only serve as an extra powerhouse, but is also someone who will be able to keep up fighting for a lot longer than a normal person and, due to her stamina and slightly stronger healing, she'll be able to take on opponents and tasks that would be far more hazardous to some of her other teammates.
