[hider=Maria Wright] [h3][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Name:[/b] [indent]Maria Wright[/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]18[/indent] [b]Gender:[/b] [indent]Female[/indent] [b]Appearance & Attire:[/b] [indent]Maria stands at a height of 5'7 and weighs 120 lbs, rather than an athletic build like her sister she's simply average. She almost always has a smile on her face, rarely if ever is she mad or seen sad. Whereas her sister leans towards what could almost be considered goth, Maria tends to wear an abundance of bright colors and anything from short skirts to jeans, dresses to a plain old white T-shirt. Maria has long dark blonde hair that she usually just lets hang free, she doesn't really put effort into tending to it beyond brushing it a bit and washing it. Her chest is slightly bigger than Melissas' and her butt is average, definetely not flat like her sister. She also has a more 'feminine' shape than her sister. Her facial features however, are almost identical. Her eyes are almond shaped and a deep blue, her lips are full and slightly puffy. Her nose is rounded, but not fat, her nostrils are also fairly small. Her ears are rounded and come to a slight tip on the tops of them. [/indent] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [indent]Maria is surprisingly good at singing, some of her friends would say the best in her school.[/indent] [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] [indent]Being the older sister, Maria was expected to set an example for Melissa, protect her, and everything else expected of the older sibling. And Maria did just that to the best of her abilities, though it was obvious her attitude nor dress style rubbed off on her, much to her dismay Melissa seemed to be the polar opposite of her. Though, she still cared for her and loved her, she was her sister after all. Maria was easily one of the most popular people in her school, though she wasn't your typical arrogant holier than thou popular girl, she was nice to pretty much everyone and especially her friends. Her powers manifested in a particularly bad way shortly after Elizabeth. She'd been out with two of her friends and someone decided to try mugging them, it..was a very bad idea. Before Maria knew what happened she'd severely wounded him without really trying, infact she didn't even touch him. The man recieved a number of severe cuts all over his body where his clothes and himself had made contact with her skin. Her friends were horrified and so was she, she was covered in blood and her skin was sharp to the touch. Scared, she abandoned her friends and ran home making sure not to touch anyone else or accidentally brush her hand against herself. Her powers subsided shortly after she got home and explained everything to her parents. A while later government officials showed up and reccommend her and Melissa be sent to Academy 218, of course Melissa agreed for herself before her parents said anything. As she was now barely in control of her powers she stood to severely injure her sister, her parents, or even herself against her will. [/indent] [h3][u][b]Power Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Super System/Cerebral[/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [indent]Maria has a rather..interesting ability. She has the ability to both control and shape metal as well as taking on some aspects of metal in her body. [i]Metal Mimicry[/i] Maria has the ability to sharpen her skin to be able to slice flesh with ease, though so far she has only been able to willingly do this with her hands. When she is scared, however, her entire body becomes like that of super sharp razor wire. She also has the ability to harden her skin to absorb impacts from punches or physical blows, should she be so inclined. [i]Metal Manipulation.[/i] Maria is also able to control small amounts of metal and bend it to her will, currently the maximum amount of metal she can comfortably control without putting a immense amount of strain on her body is 15 lbs at a 20 ft range. She is able to form shields, weaponry, or 'bullets'. Though, so far they're all crude and moreso blunt than they are sharp save for the bullets.[/indent] [b]Limits:[/b] [indent]Maria is limited to actually having some amount of metal nearby in her 20 ft range to manipulate, she can't simply magic metal out of the ground or out of herself. She cannot control when she is able to activate her 'spike defense'. It does not happen on a constant basis when she is scared, she also can't stop it when she wants to. [/indent] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [indent]Maria is just as weak to the sharpening of her skin as anyone else is, she has and can easily wound herself badly if she isn't careful. Seeing as she has the characteristics of metal, she is EXTREMELY weak to electricity, taking far less than the average being to severely wound or even kill her. She is also extremely weak to the cold, if it's cold enough she can't use her abilities, even colder and she is very susceptible to being severely wounded. Her movements will become slow and her skin and bones will become very brittle. If there is no metal, he is limited to close range making her weak to those with long range abilities or those that specialize in close combat more than her.[/indent] [h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b] [INDENT]Janette Wright- Mother John Wright- Father Melissa Wright- Sister[/INDENT] [b]Dynamics:[/b] [indent]Basically your character's relationship with other characters. [b] Melissa Wright [/b] | [b] Good.[/b] | [b] Sister [/b] | "The best little sister anyone could ask for..I just wish she'd dress better." |[/indent] [h3][u][b]Other[/b][/u][/h3] [list][*]Personality: Maria is the exact opposite of her sister. She is rarely without a smile on her face and she is generally in an extremely happy, possibly too happy, mood. She is kind to everyone, even those that clearly dislike her. She has a really childish attitude most of the time, though she knows when to be serious and when not to. [/list][/hider] Done...finally.
