Yeah you caught me. Considering joining this if there's still space. Things are looking pretty cool and it doesn't seem to have been going on for too long to make things strange. Plus I had ideas for a more aloof character so integrating them wouldn't really be too big a concern.
ok. for those who don't know. i've been drawing these posters as a sort of "fan service" for the rp. for the past few weeks however, my computer hasn't been working so i couldn't finalize them and get them online. THANKFULLY..... my computer is now fixed! and all day yesterday after school, I have been working on the first poster. SO! the first poster will be finished and posted sometime this weekend FOR SURE.
Eye Colors(two if gifted, one if human): Left is brown, right is blue/gray
Personality Angelique is by all counts the consummate professional in all manner of things. She is cool, collected, some would even call her robotic. She executes objectives with machine like precision. Outside of work these traits are also remarked upon by many who meet her in passing. The best word to describe Angelique would most likely be detached. Everything about her manner seems to be at least one step separated from the world around her. She possesses a sense of humor that could be considered distant, or in words that aren't made to make a person sound better than they are, she comes off as a cocksure bitch. Her other major personality trait is her libertine lifestyle and flagrant substance abuse (when not working of course). Angelique always seems to be trying to find a new high in order to feel something, anything, other than the constant dullness of her senses and emotions brought on by part of her gift. Her perspective leads her to look down on fellow "gifted" who seem to think of their abilities as purely blessings and an absolute positive to society. If she was being honest with herself then she would realize that she resonates quite a bit with certain human supremacist groups, but self-preservation has at least kept her neutral in such regards. It is important to note that she is not emotionless so much as incapable of expressing emotion properly or to any major extreme. Type: 3
Abilities Physical: Angelique Has the ability to form a pair of portals which are linked to one another. Portals are single sided, that is to say that when one is formed in mid-air only one face of it would be an actual portal. The other side would appear to just be a opalescent constantly shifting surface. Were someone to pass through this side of the portal they would simply come out the other side as if they passed through vapor. The same occurs if one were to try to pass something through the sides or edges of a portal. While they seem to be purely 2 dimensional, portals do actually have a minute amount of depth (only a few molecules thick). While this wouldn't be noteworthy in most circumstances, when a portal is initially formed it will displace any matter that occupies its space (normally air), however if one were to form a portal inside of a piece of equipment or an individual, then the sudden displacement would cleanly slice through anything along the plane of the portal. Angelique has used this ability to great effect in her time as a hired gun. Portals can be in any number of shapes and sizes provided that the surface area of the actual portal is never greater than 4 square meters. They can only be formed in areas where Angelique has a clear line of sight (vision through optics counts, though things such as seeing around a corner seem to weaken the affect and make the portals appear smaller than intended). Only two portals can be active at a time and they are always linked to one another and share the same dimensions. There appears to be an arbitrary optimal distance of about 15 meters where portals can be made to their full size, beyond this point the size of a portal shrinks rapidly proportional to the additional distance. The absolute maximum distance that Angelique can throw portals is about 100 meters, though these portals can only be about 4 square centimeters in surface area.
Psychological: Angelique does not possess an active ability so much as she does a psychological countermeasure. Her ability could be considered that of a blank in that her mind has been deadened to the effects of psychological stimuli. Hallucinogens, the power of suggestion, alcohol, drugs, or virtually anything that could elicit a psychological/emotional response in her are severely limited. What this means in practice is that gifted who wield psychological powers will find her to be quite a bit harder nut to crack but certainly not immune. It also means that she needs to indulge in far more drugs or alcohol to feel the same effects, but without any inbuilt toxicological immunities or resistences. Perhaps most importantly it also means that she is comparatively incapable of empathizing or feeling much of any emotion without the circumstances being truly extreme. Considering that she was not born with this ability already awoken, the fact that her ability to feel things properly was robbed from her at an age when she could actually recognize its absence would drive her up a wall were she capable of such massive displays of emotion. It is for this reason that she has the substance abuse habits that she does as she vainly tries to feel things that are locked off to her in her daily life.
Skills(for humans and gifted): Angelique is skilled in the use of most all small arms and is physically fit thanks to years as a mercenary. She speaks fluent English and French as well as conversational Mandarin. Her psychological gift's peculiarity also makes her a very logical thinker and laser focused on completing tasks, though she has trouble being imaginative beyond the basic improvisation expected of someone with combat experience(Though this is less improv and more an extensive playbook). Bio Angelique was born to an American mother and French father in the fine city of Chicago, Illinois. Angelique was one of many children who had the misfortune of growing up in the Callahan years, however she was a bit of a late bloomer when it came to her "gift." Her gift only became known when she was 12 years old, her parents were relieved that their precious Angel had been spared from the cruel hand of the Callahan regime. Their joy was to be unfortunately short lived. With her "awakening" also came the locking off of the vibrant young girl that Jean-Luc and Sarah Marie Duponti had nurtured through a dark time in life. The girl who had been a light to them in hard times was suddenly cold and distant. Her family tried anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medication, anything to bring their girl back to them. Unfortunately neither were able to truly accept her as she had become, it was simply too heartbreaking in their eyes. While Jean-Luc still dearly loved Angelique, her mother simply could not accept what had happened and had a severe breakdown. As such things tended to go, the family ended up getting a divorce, and Angelique left the city with her father and moved to the country with her Paternal Grandparents (The family had immigrated to the US before the Callahan years and ended up 'stuck' as it were). Always styling himself an outdoorsman and finding the city stifling, Jean-Luc would take his Daughter with him on long hikes, fishing, and hunting trips in the hope that the connection to nature would rouse in her some of those dormant emotions. Like everything else, this failed, but it did make her an excellent markswoman and survivalist. When she was 18 years old Angelique decided to see the world and joined the military. Angelique's career was to be a rollercoaster of meteoric rise and fall. Highly commended on multiple occasions for valor in many of the post-Callahan dust ups that were still occurring, she was quickly stripped of it all for a number of drug offenses. She would be discharged after one such incident, an event that would send her down the path of the hired gun. Having come to terms with the fact that violence was something she excelled at, Angelique took the natural course of action for a disgraced ex-military: she became a mercenary of sorts. Primarily her post-military career has been bodyguard/escort duty and hostage rescue, jobs where she is especially capable thanks to her host of abilities. However she is not above doing "wetwork" and has been hired simply to take out volatile targets in the past. Her long list of clientele range from government agencies, private companies, criminal syndicates, supremacist groups, and even the CIR who see her as a valuable; and admittedly expendable; asset that is better in their pocket than the pockets of the opposition. In the end she found the pay to be sufficient to fuel the things that make her feel alive and so she is as content as one could be in the situation. She has relatively few scruples but she isn't heartless, she refuses to kill children no matter the circumstance, and there better be a damn good reason that she needs to kill the defenseless or infirm.

Super WIP. Don't have a post example or other categories filled, but at least with this I can get feedback on if my powers are too strong/crazy and if anything in backstory-wise needs changing. Now off to bed I go.
Speaking of beginning I added something to the collab page.
Edit: There will be a timeskip post to keep the ball rolling while we wait for Ark's return. The timeskip won't be too long from where the RP is currently. Seeing as it is October 3 I think the proper amount of time to pass will have us begin on October 26 so about (if I can do math) two to three weeks.
