Here's a character!
Full Name: Rebekah Leah Green
Super Alias: Karearea (as in the bird)
Age: 18
Appearance: Rebekah Green is most often seen around the BoSA building wearing jeans and a t-shirt. It is simple, comfortable, practical clothing, which suits her just fine. She is a smidge above average height, with blue eyes, light skin and mid-length blonde hair she keeps tied back in a pony-tail. She sometimes wonders if her nose isn't a bit too long.
PicturePower(s): Rebekah can change the size of objects around her, growing or shrinking them into perfect scale replicas of themselves. The ability cannot be used on living beings. She is also able to teleport to anywhere she can see.
Genes: Reality warping
Biography: Rebekah comes from a family of non-supers, so far as she can tell. Her great-grandmother might have been where she got the magical genes, but the stories about her are pretty murky and often don't agree.
She grew up in New Zealand, in amid-sized town near to a national park. Early on in life, she developed a love of books and reading, devouring both fact and fiction alike. A little later on, when she entered her teenage years, she continued with this, though the books gained a rival - the outdoors. Mountain biking, kayaking and walking all held strong appeal for her, leading to exciting trips to lakes, mountains and rivers.
Possibly due to her lack of close super ancestors, Rebekah was relatively late in developing her powers. Rebekah's powers first manifested shortly after her 15th birthday, while walking the last section of the Tongariro crossing. The school group were all tired, hungry, getting damp from the grey mist that had descended over the mountain and generally ready for the day's exertion to be over. Coming over the last rise and getting a view of the shuttle waiting at the end of the track, Rebekah suddenly disappeared from among the group to find herself standing up against the white van's windows.
Shocked at this sudden transition, she jumped, yelled and tripped over backwards. Her fall would have landed her head on a large rock, but it shrunk down to the size of a pebble underneath her. She ended up landing on some scrub bushes, coming down much more gently and looking up to see a karearea swooping by overhead. By the time the rest of the group had caught up, it became clear what had happened and Rebekah was outed as a super.
Recently, Rebekah’s parents took an opportunity to move to the US for their jobs in the solar panel industry. Rebekah, having just finished school, chose to go with them and take a place on the newly forming team of young supers in Metroville.
Personality: Rebekah is quiet and reserved in most situations, preferring to listen and observe than to speak. When she does speak, it is usually in direct answer to a problem that needs solving or to suggest an action. She doesn't do well with small-talk and doesn't share her emotions easily, except with those she is closest to and trusts without exception. On the other hand, she will happily go on and on about an interesting idea and enjoys being challenged in this way.
She tries to view the world as rationally as possible, and solve problems using logic and reason. She values knowledge and curiosity and holds tightly to the idea that the best superhero is not the one with the strongest power, but the one who knows when and how to apply their abilities to get the best result.
Rebekah is a bit bit unsure of herself, what with coming to a new country and taking on the role of a full-time professional superhero, but she is also excited for the challenge it will bring. This is a cahnce for her to make her mark on the world, and she wants to take it.
Her personality would be an I-N-T-J on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator.
Skills: Rebekah has some pretty good skills in the outdoors, and has good fitness and endurance to go with them. She is reasonably proficient in self-defence, but unlike some of her fellow supers, her fighting talent is nothing special.
Where she does excel physically is in her reflexes and reactions, based on her senses ,which are pretty sharp when she cares to pay attention.
Rebekah has always enjoyed school and done well in her non-super education, so she has a solid grounding in a number of subject areas, particularly the sciences.
Super Suit Specifics/Equipment: Rebekah’s suit will teleport with her, and is extra-tough, since her powers don’t give her any extra durability or protection from physical harm. Her suit also includes a backpack that contains all of the equipment she uses while super-ing. It is growing towards being, so far as she was concerned, the most massively useful collection of items ever assembled into a space of under 35 litres.
All shrunk down and organised into their own individual pockets, she has everything from extra clothes for a number of situations, food, drink and other survival supplies, first aid kits, combat gear, vials of some interesting chemicals, and a few handy odds, ends and gadgets to top it off. In need, she can retrieve any of these items and grow them back to their full size in just a few moments.
Her suit also contains the team’s standard additions: a global tracking device and secure communicator.
PicturePossessions: Shortly before Rebekah left New Zealand, she purchased a small greenstone pendant, and wears it as a reminder of home, and her friends and family back there.
Other: Rebekah’s name is Rebekah, and she would prefer it if others didn’t insist on shortening it to Bekky, Bekka, Bex or any other variation they might come up with. It’s a perfectly good name already, and it doesn’t need shortening, thank you very much! It is something of a pet peeve for her.
