[u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Rozalia "Roze" Éathliel [u][b]Alias:[/b][/u] Nightingale [u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 23 [u][b]Powers:[/b][/u] [b]Energy Manipulation -[/b] A vague term she herself has given to her powers, as Roze is unsure to what extent she can use them. Essentially, she is able to manipulate fields of energy surrounding herself, and turn whatever is at hand into something malleable and immensely strong. Usually, she uses this for shielding and bursts of energy that give her attacks more power. It can also be used for flight, although she prefers not to to use it for that reason, or for anything offensive. Defense is her main ideal when using these mysterious powers. The energy emits an electric blue colour, and the shields are capable of holding back bullets, explosions, water, fire, toxic gases, etc. In terms of offensive capability, the rare times she has used it for this choice has produced beams of the concentrated energy directed at specific targets. Depending on her strength at the time, the results can range from minor burns and concussions, to total vaporization. Latent uses of her energy manipulation are believed to enhance her healing. Nothing to save her from a fatal wound, but non-fatal wounds will heal considerably faster than they would an ordinary human. The shields are also able to hold up considerable weights; however, the heavier the item, the less time she can hold it for. [u][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/u] Her weakness lies within her power. There is a certain limit on how much she can use it in a certain amount of time - for example, she would be able to hold off bullets (small or medium sized calibers; larger calibers will take more of a toll) for an unspecified - yet long - amount of time, while being able to fight back or fly away. She can fly indefinitely, if there are no extra factors taking a toll on her. Explosions can be shielded, although massive blasts have been known to knock her backwards. Using her energy in combat can wear her down swiftly, or can take a while to catch up with her, depending on how strong her blasts are. Sometimes when her energy manipulation is being used too much, her powers will simply stop working for an indefinite amount of time, leaving her fatigued and vulnerable, but still able to provide some help in a combat situation. However, most of the time, the powers will remain, instead taking a toll on her body, and her control over it will become erratic. Hemorrhaging from the nose, eyes and ears will often take place when overuse has occurred (Although still able to fight at this point; recovery takes perhaps a day). However, in more dire consequences, the energy will begin to eat away at the internal structure of her organs, causing blood to be coughed or vomited up. If she continues using it at this point, death is highly probable. Otherwise, recovery takes about a fortnight, with absolutely no power being used. Other weaknesses include the fact that other than her power, she is still a human. If bullets aren't blocked, they'll do the same amount of damage as they would to a regular person. [u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] [i][b]Acrobatics -[/b][/i] With her line of work as a self-proclaimed Grand Larcenist, being able to enter and exit places through hard to reach openings was a must for the job. Training since a young girl, Roze has shown a natural aptitude for climbing and balancing on the smallest of holds. With high agility and coordination, she can put the best acrobats to shame with the near-impossible feats she has achieved. [i][b]Stealth -[/b][/i] Quick and quiet; those were the words she always abided by throughout her life. Anyone can waltz into a bank with a gun and demand cash - she preferred doing it her own way. Going in through gaps in the security that no-one else knew were there, she would steal thousands in the dead of the night without so much as a whisper. She made a point of not touching the cameras, and yet they still couldn't catch her image on them. Along with this she has an excellent knack of opening locks - either electronic, or the good old fashioned ones. [i][b]Persuasion and charisma -[/b][/i] Banks weren't her only source of income; she liked to get money in more personal ways. Somehow gaining access to plenty of high-roller parties across the globe, she was always able to get her claws into some rich guy (Or girl; that was one weekend in Paris that she wasn't going to forget), and steal from them without them even realizing it. Well... one mark did, but that's a story for later. Anyway, she was able to lure her marks into a false sense of security, which took some doing with some of them. She could even charm her way through royal security. [i][b]Fairly high intellect and social analyzing skills -[/b][/i] Despite a rough childhood, Roze has aspirations. Which meant trying in school, unlike the majority of kids she lived with in her foster home. Perpetually working hard through Elementary and High School, she got good enough grades to gain a Scholarship to University. Although not a particularly famous or prestigious one, she was able to acquire a degree in Psychology, and then continue on her way as a high-class crook. With her college degree, she was able to find better marks, and work out their daily routine and possible actions. This made her job considerably easier, and is always looking on ways to build her intelligence. She also has a knack of remembering general knowledge and whatnot, which has come in handy when disarming some obscure alarm system from the 80's. [i][b]Average in hand-to-hand combat and shooting -[/b][/i] Despite her prowess in stealth and agility, it's impossible to avoid conflict with such a dangerous job. So, Roze took classes in how to protect herself. Although not as deadly as the League of Assassins, the small gym club in San Francisco got her into peak condition, showing her the basics of how to protect herself in dangerous situations. Due to her powers, she hasn't invested much time into extending her knowledge of hand-to-hand combat, so if left just with it, she could be taken down fairly quickly. She also learnt how to shoot properly with various weapons - however, she prefers handguns rather than anything too bulky. [u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Thanks to her powers, she doesn't really carry much in the way of weapons. Two CQB Lighttrail Lightweight Professional handguns sit at either side of her hips, along with two curved blades in hidden sheaths attached to her back. Two long blades about 10'' long are also situated on the outside of each shin. She also has other items such as wire cutters, high tensile rope, glass cutters, lockpicks, matches, etc. As a part of her outfit she has also... [i]acquired[/i] goggles that allow her to see through various spectrums, including thermal imaging. [u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] [u][b]History:[/b][/u] [u][b]Other:[/b][/u]
