My sheet, I discussed this a bit with Defacto, and I hope this is okay. Anyways, I got tired around the backstory. [hider=Sonya Summer Ikuma] [B]Name:[/B] [i]Sonya Summer Ikuma[/i] [B]Aliases:[/B] [i]Lekki, Tree Frog, Callsign: Mayfield[/i] [B]Age:[/B] 25 [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B][B]Ethnicity/Nationality:[/B][/B] Norwegian & Japanese [B]Physical Appearance:[/B] [INDENT]Despite looking normal to a degree, Sonya's bestial traits shine through her otherwise normal frame. Giving her an abnormal look to the people who take a longer look at her. To begin, her facial features are soft, and rounded. She has a chin that sticks out of her head somewhat, and a small button nose with small nostrils. She has soft pink lips that are untouched by lipstick - but this is where her mutations come in, sonnyboy. Her mouth is larger than average, and it looks rather strange. When she opens it up, one is quick to notice her very abnormal mouth of teeth. They're long, sharp, and needle-like, and she has two rows of them for her upper teeth. Most people don't even notice the tongue several times the length of her body until it's hanging out of her mouth. Most notably of all is her hands, and her legs/feet. To elaborate, Sonya has slight orbs on her fingertips and toes, much like frogs (Which are necessary to cling to surfaces). Her feet, on the other hand, are much like frog legs. Her foot structure has been rearranged, her toes are now much longer, and end in large orbs. Both her hands and her feet have orbs at the end of them. Her feet are just large. She has retractable webbing on her hands and feet, which she can freely deploy when she decides to go swimming. Now, to describe her human traits. Sonya is a thin woman with a layer of muscle and body fat that adds padding to her body. She has very long, disproportionately long limbs in comparison with her body. Mostly her legs, which are weirdly long. They don't have three joints, or anything, but they add several inches to her height until she stands at 5'11, and is pretty lightweight at 120lb. It's because of that power of hers. Other than that, Sonya is the product of an interracial relationship between a Japanese Man, and a Norwegian woman. Most of her Caucasian features are apparent, beige skin, bright blonde hair, etc - yet, her (abnormally large) eyes are slanted, and obviously Asian. Speaking of which, Sonya has a wild and wavy head of blonde hair, not in any style in particular, but it's shoulder length, and is well brushed and cleaned. As for attire, there's two sides to Sonya's clothing choice. When she's with the NMI, she wears a specially made black wet-suit that is porous enough to let her slime through, and coat her outfit. This suit is black, and comes with a skintight layer of armor that can stop a low caliber bullet. It's also flexible enough for her to preform her usual feats of acrobatics. It's specially made among the NMI Agents, as it has experimental technology in it, that turns invisible along with Sonya if she chooses to. The uniform comes with a tactical VEST, and a belt - both of which contains pouches, knife/gun holsters, etc. She, on the job, puts on a tactical helmet, with mask. Off-duty, Sonya tends to dress pretty casually. She'll wear a variety of outfits, but is mostly modest. Though, she was never the pants wearing type, preferring (thigh length) skirts. She tends to wear shoes a few sizes too large so she can fit her large feet into them. Though, if she's in a colder environment, expect her to dress like she's climbing mount Everest! She'll wear heavily padded outfits with layers, and layers, of clothing - not in any style in particular. It's because of her cold-blooded nature. Though, expect her outfits to be a little wet due to the slime.[/INDENT] [B]Class:[/B] Divergent [B]Red Skies Traits:[/B] [i]Amphibian Physiology[/i] [INDENT]Sonya has the abilities of the strange and wonderful Amphibians. Reptilian-like animals that inhabit the land and the water. Which have a wide range of abilities, Sonya, in particular are bits and pieces from all over the kingdom. To get started, Sonya is a cold-blooded person, she relies on external means to regulate her body temperature. Which, in turn, regulates how fast or slow her metabolism goes. By nature, her body is very flexible, and this makes her a very agile person - in and out of the water. You can see her preforming backflips, and leaping around like it was nothing. Along with the ability to twist her limbs. Sonya's body is well adapted for the water. She can swim underwater at exceptional speeds, and hold her breath for ages, capable of staying underwater and swimming like a champ. Like most Amphibians, she breathes through her skin. Most importantly, Sonya's skin is coated in a see-through layer of slime that helps keep her moist, regulates her temperature, helps her breathe, and helps her swim. This same slime also provides a defensive advantage. It makes her super slippery, and very hard to grab onto. Most people will find her just slipping out of their grasp. This also makes her a bit harder to hit with physical attacks. Say if you were throwing a punch at her and your fist will just end up sliding right off her. It also renders her a bit more resistance to flames. Much like Salamanders and Newts, Sonya has a regenerative factor. She's capable of recovering from a knife wound in a few days, opposed to a few weeks. Along with the ability to regrow limbs that Salamanders are remarkable for. She can regrow a limb in a few weeks. Also, Sonya can also detach a limb from her body, in case she really needs to. It won't really be as bloody and damaging as it normally would, there wouldn't be a drop of blood. Oh, speaking of which, blood clots pretty quickly due to the layer of slime, and her regenerative factor. Sonya also has a very good camouflage. It'll render her nearly invisible, even while moving, long as she focuses. She can change her skin-color to anything within the color spectrum. Sonya's tongue is also much, much, longer than the rest of her body - basically, she has a prehensile tongue. It's fifteen feet long, and very sticky. She can grab an object from a ways away, and suck it up into her mouth. Helped by the fact that her tongue is pretty strong, too. She's capable of using it to pull herself to another location quickly - though, it's a risky, last ditch effort, move that she pulls when other options have been exhausted. As for frog/toad abilities, Sonya's hands take more reptile/frog like traits. They're webbed, and have the orbs in them, which assist in swimming, and secrete a liquid that allows her to cling to objects (Like tree frogs). Sonya's back legs are powerful. Just monstrously strong. They're capable of sending her flying through the air, and landing perfectly. She's capable of jumping around thirty feet forward, and forty-five feet upwards. These powerful legs also help her swim much, much, faster. Sonya has the unique and remarkable ability of the wood-frog. Wood frogs live in the arctic, and have the amazing ability to survive being frozen for extended periods of time. Once her body temperature drops below freezing, her heartbeat and breathing will stop, and her internal water will freeze. She can stay this way for months - once she's unfrozen, she'll be good as new. This is totally useless, but I'm noting it anyway! Sonya has the ability to change genders like frogs. With one thought, she'll begin the metamorphosis from female to male (Or vice-versa). It's a great party trick. Now, she doesn't have too many abilities that belong to the toad (that won't contradict the rest of her power). It naturally makes predators adverse to her. Sonya doesn't have too many traits from Caecilians. However, her mouth is full of rows and rows of needle-like teeth, and strong jaws. Capable of tearing someone's hand to shreds if she manages to grab a hold of them. In combination with all these Amphibians, Sonya has various sensory enhancements (Hearing, smell, and sight - along with a minor night-vision ability). Also, she reproduces like a Surinam Toad. Have fun. :)[/INDENT] [B]Weaknesses, Drawbacks and Limitations:[/B] [INDENT]Sonya's body is soft, and and her skin is very easy to tear. Her skin is easier to cut with a blade, and her internals aren't as well protected as a baseline humans. Someone could tear her skin up with their hands (If they get a hold of her, that is). Landing the wrong way can tear her skin up. While she can regenerate, there's only so much it can take. Sonya's body requires constant moisture for her to keep functioning. Which basically means she'll have to dip into water every now and then to replenish her moisture. Staying on land too long will make her slime dry up, and her body will dehydrate. As a drawback of being cold-blooded, her body temperature must be regulated constantly. If her body gets too hot, then she'll dehydrate, and her metabolism will kick into overdrive. If she gets too cold, then she'll slow down, and get sluggish (Her reflexes will dim, and etc). While she can survive being frozen, she'll basically be in a coma, and will be utterly helpless.[/INDENT] [B]Skills and Talents:[/B] Experienced and trained member of NMI (National Metahuman Initiative), Sonya is a trained soldier that knows how to use a variety of firearms, and use them well. The gun she seems to be the best at using is the sniper rifle. She's a sniper by nature, she uses her power to get up on a perch you can't see, then puts one in between your eyes. She's regarded as one of the best shots in the NMI, and has many kills under her belt. Along with her firearm training, she knows plenty of hand-to-hand, and knifeplay. Stealth is her greatest skill, because she's a silent ninja. She could slip up behind you, and already have slashed your throat out before you even noticed. This also ties into her assigned role of Scouting and Recon within the NMI. She's usually the type who will scope out a position, and provide meaningful information, before the big boys come charging in. Sonya is also a super good tracker, and she can effectively track a man over several miles. Along with plenty of training on how to use her power effectively, and how it works. Oh yeah, and she's a kickass swimmer. [B]Psychological Profile:[/B] [INDENT]A surprisingly meek, and cheerful, for someone on her line of duty, Sonya makes herself a pretty approachable person. Being casual and fun loving as possible, despite her line of duty, and the extremely heavy risks pertaining it. She's the type of woman who's more than willing to tell stories, to friends, and be the life of the party. Usually, she tries to be the person who lightens the heavy mood, and attempts to connect with as many people as possible. She's pretty witty, and sarcastic, and usually has a retort for most situations that pop up. Sometimes, it seems almost as if she takes nothing seriously, and thinks everything's one big game. Though, she, at times, stumbles with this facade, and ends up looking very awkward. Sonya is pretty empathetic, and she deeply cares about the people around her. Which is why she tends to go the extra-mile to help people, and keep the world safe from vile Metahumans. She's less concerned with hunting rogue Metahumans, and focuses much more on removing dangerous Metahumans from the equation. And with every job well done, she tends to give herself a pat on the back knowing that she helped someone. Friends of hers get the idea that she's quite eccentric, but somewhat charming overall. Though, she isn't super good in crowds, she tends to avoid them like the plague (due to her own physical mutations). She thinks herself somewhat as a freak, and needs some sort of validation. Which is why she tries to connect and befriend as many people as possible - to assure herself that she's not that big a freak. On the job, however, she's a lot more quiet, and driven. She focuses on the job, and tends to keep the chatter to a minimal. She balances her friendly and open personality with her dedication to the job, and her cold efficiency in carrying it out. She has little qualms in killing a person in the name of duty. She'll justify it in her head as saying they were a bad person, that needed to be removed (Though, even she questions that line of thought at times). What gets in the way of missions is how headstrong, and reckless Sonya can be at times. She's confident enough in her abilities to take risks. The kind of risks that her superiors don't necessarily frown upon. Sometimes they make or save the mission. Speaking of which, she's insanely confident in her sniping talent, and her power, and believes that she's perfectly capable of completing every mission with flying colors. Most importantly, she'll take responsibility for the outcome of the mission, whether it's a failure or a success. However, she takes failures to heart, and beats herself up over a failed mission - even if it's not her fault. She'll get really angry at herself for such failures. Sonya's a firm believer of the warrior's code. She shows mercy to a surrendering foe, and knows not to injure civilians in the crossfire. She'll gladly get in a team mate's face that causes harm to civilians, or acts especially bloodthirsty. To her, there is a very thin line between murderer, and soldier. Most of her meek charm, and optimism is very forced, it's because she's quite haunted by the things she's seen, and done. Killing people over and over again has made her feel cold inside, and she wants to start feeling warm. She thinks that maybe making friends will make her feel better, so far it hasn't worked. Hell, it made the hole deeper. It makes her quite sullen at times - to the point where she simply retreats into the nearest hiding spot, and tries to live with herself. Until she gets better, and puts on the face that everyone knows before heading back outside. She's especially haunted by some of the things she's seen while on the job. Which she also tries her best to bury with good memories, but the wounds rarely heal.[/INDENT] [B]History/Bio:[/B] [INDENT]Sonya was born in America. The city of Philadelphia in fact, daughter of a Caucasian woman, and a Japanese man (They got into a fight on what to name her, her father wanted to give her a traditional Japanese name, but in the end, her mother got her way). Growing up wasn't anything special, she went to school, made friends, and had fun for years, and years, and years. Nothing terrible happened. Naturally all that changed once the Red Skies virus hit the planet, and mutants began a reality. Sonya was, unfortunately, one of the few people to be affected by the virus. Now, instead of getting some badass power like firebending, it triggered atavism in her system like no other. Causing her traits to regress into amphibians. It was a painful transformation, all of which was recorded in a hospital room. Where they thought she would die, she survived. Except, with rather gross physical mutations. Sonya didn't know what to do with her newfound gift, other than feel disgusted that she's now a creature lowly as an amphibian. However, government representatives approached Sonya about a newly formed task force known as the National Metahuman Initiative (Alternatively known as the NMI), and that they were looking to recruit as many Metahumans as possible so they can utilize the force. Along with trying to examine and study Metahumans. Sonya, for one, accepted their offer, and was whisked away into the rigorous basic training, along with several other recruits. In firearm training, it turned that Sonya has a proficiency with rifles. Sniper rifles to be exact. She hit several perfect shots, where most trainees messed it up. Sonya was immediately placed into advanced sniping training, and from there, she was also thought scouting, and other useful tricks. After a few years of training, it was time for Sonya to see the field. Of course, there was a catch of course. The Government were sending superhumans to fight in the war in Afghanistan. Sonya's powers weren't super suited for hot dry places, so she was simply placed to defeat villains in America. Her mission as a sniper left her scarred for life. She shot an electrokinetic Metahuman's head off who was threatening a group of schoolchildren, and the missions got even worse from there. Kill after kill, after kill. She also preformed scouting for the rest of the NMI.[/INDENT] [B]Relationships:[/B] [B]In a nutshell:[/B] Half Japanese Amphibian woman that acts as a sniper/scout for a Metahuman organization. [B]Other:[/B] [list] [*]Sonya has access to a wide variety of weapons, courtesy of the NMI. For starters, given her sniper nature, she is armed with a CheyTac Intervention .408 as her main firearm. It's usually strapped to her back as she goes around crawling. She has a Mateba Autorevolver (Loaded with .357 Magnum Rounds) as her sidearm. [*]Artist, Sonya channels all of her emotions into art. She paints, and draws with pencils, and it's very relaxing. Her room is full of paintings that she made. [/list] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhU9O4T_mJU[/youtube] [/hider]
