"You want to see true power? Then don't cry for mercy."

Name:

Mika Hayashi

Age:

19 Years

Gender:

Female

Appearance:

Mika has three additional appearances she can switch between on whim, in order to throw off those who are after her.

-

Appearance #1 [+]

-

Appearance #2 [+]

-

Appearance #3 [+]

Species:

Psion
- A creature (usually human. She's human.) With psionic abilities.

Abilities/Powers:

- Shapeshifting: Mika has the ability to Shape-shifting freely between her four appearances, and can take on the appearance (as well as things like their voice) from those she has had telepathic contact with.

- Telepathy: Mika can reach out with her mind to establish links between others and herself. This ability is limited to either a 20 foot radius around herself, or a 60 foot long straight line. Enabling her to communicate with others remotely, or do things like rip information from their heads. However; the stronger one's willpower or if they have preventative measures in place makes it harder on Mika to do more than communicate.

- Telekinesis: As will most Psions, Mika is strongly telekinetic. Able to fling very heavy objects, or multiple smaller objects at the same time with her mind.

- Astral Projection: Mika is able to project a version of herself outside of her body. Controlling it remotely, from an unconcious form at the time. This version of herself appears normal, can speak and use severely weakened Telekinesis as it moves around. Mika does retain memories from this form, and can 'teleport' (she really just dissolves the projection the reassembles it elsewhere). While in this form, Mika is capable of maintaining three projections of herself in completely different areas, and having access to the memories of all three. Mika can control three projections at a max range of 20 feet from her. Two at 40 feet. One at 60 feet.

- Second Sight: Mika has a 10 foot radius around herself in which she is constantly aware of whether or not people are in it, and where they are once inside said radius. This comes as an effect of her telepathic prowess. If she stops what she is doing and focuses on her second sight alone, Mika can extend this range out to 40 feet.

Weakness/Control:

Mika's control comes in a small, but brutally effective package. Two metal implants sit on her body, one on the back of her skull (beneath her hair and towards the bottom. Where it is weakest.) Along with the other with sits at about her mid-back, directly over her spine. Both plates send out powerful electric shocks at the command of one controlling it. The one on her back is used to paralyze and render unconcious, in the most painful way possible. That is, depending on how high the surge is set to be.

Meanwhile, the plate on the back of her head has one setting and one trigger. This is to be used should she go rogue and is unable to be stopped. This plate sends in an electrical surge so powerful, it literally melts Mika's brain and takes her source of power. As a side effect, Mika is dead and there is no way of coming back... but that's an acceptable result.

Personality:

Mika us what others would call 'overconfident'. This is because the girl feels that there isn't a single issue she can't overcome. She is kind enough towards others, though she will never be okay with insults to her pride. The girl also has a tendency to pout whenever things don't go her way, so there is that. As for the rest, you'll just have to find out.

History:

Born as a seemingly "normal" human being, Mika grew up under the roof of two very loving parents. Other than that, she was your average anime-loving, computer nerd. The only difference being that she was also quite attractive, constantly drawing attention to herself as those who found her sexually attractive tried to get with her. Naturally, she had a few flings here and there but nothing really got serious. At least... until Johnathon. A football player and honors student, Mika found herself unable to resist the boy as he asked her out.

The result was a three month long relationship, which started wonderfully but quickly turned abusive. As it turned out, Johnathon had a habit of beating up whatever didn't go his way. Mika included. Constantly she would endure his beatings, and come up with excuses for the wounds to her parents. As she was much too afraid of what he might do to her if she talked. It was during this 3 months, her senior year of high school, that odd things began occurring around her. Occasionally she'd hear somebody's thoughts whenever her negative emotions and we're running strong. Her door would suddenly slam shut as she cried in her room. Occasionally her body itself began to change. All manifestations of something that she did not yet understand.

On her 18th birthday, Mika was in her room alone with Johnathon. At his request, of course. Her parents in the kitchen thinking the two were just gaming or something peaceful. However, the truth was that John was forcing himself onto her. Trying to get her to just 'surrender' to him and give him what he wanted. She resisted, as the girl had never wanted that before marriage. But alas, she was overpowered and raped by John in her own bed. The fear, anger, hatred, and depression of the event all grew together. Seeming to form a massive headache in Mika's brain as she begged her boyfriend to stop. But he did not. To Mika, the world seemed to shutter and blur. Glimpses of other nearby places such as her neighbors or school popping into her mind. The complete terror as she thought she was losing her mind caused the girl to scream as her emotions let out all at once.

A thundering roar overtook the block as the small home that once belonged to the Hayashi's suddenly blew itself apart.

After a few seconds of utter chaos, the dust settled. Mika was alone, unscathed among the rubble that was her house. John, and her parents all lay in the street. Impaled by various pieces of splintered furniture. Dead.

Not even minutes afterwards, a black van pulled up and Mika was shot with a tranquilizer. She would later wake up in what seemed to be a hospital bed, chained down and with men in suits guarding her.

"W-where am I? Where are my parents! Let me go!"

Her cries would fall on deaf ears. For the next year, Mika would discover what it was like to be alone, ostracized from her society as a monster. Mika did find out what had happened that day, her emotions had triggered a powerful telekinetic blast which tore through the house, weakening it before the gas line (now disturbed and ruptured) caught a flame and blew the house apart.

Trapped, embarrassed on a daily basis, beaten, and hated; Mika desperately wanted to find a way out. Some way she could go home and try to rebuild her life. To visit her parents and tell them she loved them.

It was this very mindset that drove her to accept the offer for the Black Ops Unit. Willing to kill the targets needed since it meant she would be free in four years. After all, the government would hold their word this time... right? They wouldn't lie to a citizen!

Opinions:

- TBA

• I don't quite understand how Shapeshifting is a psychic ability. It rather seems quite out of nowhere, so perhaps you could remove it?
• Some of her abilities are OP. More specifically, the telekinesis. While you mentioned that ability is 'strong', it's never specified how strong. Perhaps you could give her a weight limit? Also, would her mind reading be just secluded to surface thoughts, or will she be able to pick up memories as well? Wouldn't she feel mentally exhausted?
• Her backstory has an additional detail I'd like to question. How would she have survived the telekinetic explosion? I feel like she'd at least suffer a bit more physical damage.

If there's room, I'd like to join.

If there isn't, waiting list pls.

Subject #376552 [+]

Archibald Fault

Archon form [+]

Archibald's true form. He maintains the same relative stature as his human form, standing at around 6 feet. His feet never touch the ground in this form, as he doesn't seem to even have them. Instead, his legs each end in a point, and float slightly off of the ground. His fingers also end in similar points. Instead of a face, a series of purplish lines of energy make up a seven pointed star on the front of his head. His chin ends in a point as well, seemingly mimicking facial hair. From the back of his head sprout four long, curving horns. The longer two lie above where a human's ears would be. These horns go out a short distance, and curve under themselves, curving outwards and forming a point several inches past where the curve began. The smaller horns lie where a human's ears would. These stretch a short distance before ending. Archibald's entire body glows with a deep blue hue, surrounding by a wispy energy of a lighter blue color.

Name
Archon of Mind's Woe (Officially Archibald Fault, or just Archie) (Archon of Identity)

Age
Officially 28. Actual age is classified information.

Gender
Male

Species

Archon [+]

A race of elemental-like beings that feed off of knowledge and ideas. Each Archon latches onto a specific topic or concept, essentially becoming the embodiment of that idea. They feed off of ideas and knowledge related to that topic. Physically, Archon are humanoid, but do not have any facial features. Instead, they have odd facial markings. As well, they have horns, which grow based on the knowledge, and an odd, wispy energy which surrounds them, coating their forms. The wispy energy's color is based on the Archon's focus concept and general mood. That energy can be manipulated in ways derived from the Archon's focus. The Archon's form is extremely malleable due to this wispy energy, causing the appearance of Archons to be extremely varied.

Abilities/Powers
Archibald is the Archon of identity, and therefore, he has a complex understanding of the human mind and the nature of identity. He can figure out and understand someone by talking to and watching them for roughly 10 minutes.
Archibald can manipulate his form to copy those who's identity he understands. This is not only a physical mimicking, but also a mental one. Archibald can act, think, and respond in a manner that is likely how the person he copied would have. This ability is strengthened based on how long he has studied that person.
Archibald requires no food or water to survive. He survives off of understanding and learning about identity, and who people are. He can fulfill this need simply by talking to others.

Weakness/Control
Subject #376552 has been outfitted with the following experimental control method:

ECM702 [+]

Takes the form of a typical wristwatch, and functions as such. ECM702 is fitted around the subject's wrist, and cannot be removed except by careful deconstruction. Any unauthorized attempt to remove ECM702 will activate contingencies 1, 2, and 3. ECM702 is outfitted with the following tracking implementations:
GPS locator
-
In the event that the subject acts out of line or escapes, ECM702 is capable of the following options:

Contingency 1: The underside of ECM702 pushes several metal pins into the subject's skin, firing bolts of electricity into the subject's body. This electric pulse will last for approximately 1.5 hours unless cancelled by the subject's handler. This electric pulse is typically enough to kill a normal human subject. If battery requires recharging, the device must be dismantled.

Contingency 2: The underside of ECM702 pushes several small needles into the subject's skin, injecting the subject with several chemicals. These chemicals are as follows:
[REDACTED]
If this option does not harm or incapacitate the subject, other chemicals can be requested.

Contingency 3: two small chambers within ECM702 which are filled with certain chemical agents are released into a third chamber. The mixing of these agents will result in a sizable explosion. The exact agents are as follows:
[REDACTED]

ECM702 is designed for subjects with currently unstudied physiologies, and therefore must be monitored by an active handler at all times outside of confinement. Handler is to be decided based on known information on the subject. The handler will be equipped with a control mechanism for ECM702, which includes manual switches for contingencies 1, 2, and 3. The activation of contingency 3 must be authorized by a higher official before the handler may commit to the action. The activation of contingencies 1 and 2 require no authorization.

Subject #376552 has been assigned the following handler:

D558 [+]

Handler D558 is to refrain from speaking to the subject at all times, and will be disallowed from removing any clothing assigned to them. If the subject is ever able to view D558's face, or hear their voice, they will be decommissioned and replaced. D558 is to be [REDACTED]. D558 is authorized to dispose of the subject if the subject escapes the handler's visible range, or becomes actively hostile. If subject is under assault from a hostile entity, D558 is recommended to fire on that hostile entity with any assigned weapons. Weapons assigned to D558 will change based on assignment.

Personality
Archibald can most easily described as calm and collected, as well as highly inquisitive. Like most of his species, Archibald is obsessed with understanding all that he can, given that he needs to do so to survive. He is quite serious, and prefers to focus on getting things done, as wasting time is not an option. Archibald could also be described as a kind and caring pacifist, but he typically states that is the result of the nature of his race, and not his personality.

Archibald's personality, much like his physical form, is quite flexible, and changes to mimic that of those he copies. So, if he manipulated his form to copy Mr. Johnson, he would also be able to think and act like Mr. Johnson. Though, this does not mean that the copied personality overtakes Archibald's. He is still in control of his own body and mind.

History
Before an Archon could go into human society, they would have to be able to disguise themselves as human, even if they were able to copy the appearances of humans, like Archon of Mind's Woes. So, he had to learn how to change his physical form to look human, keeping a single consistent appearance. From there, he had to create an identity, and assume a role in society. And so, Archibald Fault was born. Someone who did not really exist, at least not as a human, anyway.

Archibald worked as a psychologist for several years. He had found this job to be immensely rewarding. His research would help people, as well as allowing him to survive. Eventually, Archibald had become an extremely popular psychologist due to his strange insight into people's identities and insecurities. He always knew exactly what people needed to hear. Of course, when you are an oddly successful individual with suspicious talents, the government wants to check whether or not you're a monster of some sort.

Archibald eventually found himself admitting his status as a supernatural individual, and was taken to an internment camp. He was lucky enough to be able to survive off of small talk with the dying prisoners around him. Though, eventually, he was asked to join a glorified supernatural hit squad in exchange for his freedom in four years. All that Archibald asked was whether or not he would be forced into situations where he had to cause the death of others. The answer was no, but Archibald stayed wary. He wasn't really willing to trust a government that was willing to lock up and kill several hundred people. Though, considering his freedom was possibly on the other side of this deal, Archibald decided to accept the deal.

Relationships/Opinions
To be written.

Finally just about finished this. Sorry for the delay.

<Snipped quote by VarionusNW>

He can't copy powers doe right? If so accepted.

• Shapeshifting - Bread and butter of skinwalker power is the ability to assume the form of any pelt they don, be that the skin of human or animal. Transformation includes perfect mimicry of appearance, voice, etc. This includes biologically-based powers as well as weaknesses i.e. strength of a werewolf and weakness to silver. Transformation does not make the skinwalker exempt from skinwalker-inherent weaknesses or skilled at using stolen powers. Partial transformation can be achieved, but combining forms cannot. Wounds sustained while transformed are transferred to other forms in roughly analogous locations. Eyes are considered unusual regardless of form.
  • Enhanced Speed - Capable of movement equal to the max speed of a traditional car. Only available in transformed form. Furthermore, as a result of this power, the gait of the assumed form is a flawed form of the assumed form's normal gait. Individuals with specific familiarity to the assumed form can identify this ruse as a result.
• Calcifying Spit - The source of the skinwalker ability to 'spit human bones'. If the skinwalker's spit hits a target, that area quickly calcifies and becomes bone-like.
• No Internal Organs - Because the US government has them. Grants whatever bonuses you'd get from not needing internal organs. For some reason still needs to drink and eat and sleep, even if critical hits don't really do anything.
• Basic Mind Reading - If eye contact is maintained, the skinwalker can read immediate surface thoughts. Not particularly useful unless the skinwalker can make the target think about what they need them to.

• Primary control is white ash, irritating in small doses and fatal in large ones. Planted within the subject's body are devices designed to disperse ash into the body. Quantity of dispersed ash can be scaled up or down.
• Secondary control is juniper berry injections, which suppress the subject's power and renders them vulnerable. Conduit is a dispenser located in the abdomen.
• Tertiary control is the destruction of the subject's externally-located internal organs, which will lead to death as if they were connected to the body. These are in possession of the US government.
• Traditional control is the identification and purposeful intonation of the skinwalker's true name, which quickly leads to death as the subject is subjected to every sin he has committed. The government is not in possession of the subject's true name, but a list of suspects have been narrowed down.
• Emotional control is the individual known as [REDACTED] whose current status is [REDACTED]

• Body Modification - Ability to change shape. Any forms taken are still obviously made of plants, and provide no benefit other than shape. Allows for reducing size by abandoning body parts. However, if plant life is not directly attached, it is not part of the body and thus not under the Green Man's control.
• Botanic Assimilation - Ability to alter body mass by taking in plant matter. Increases the amount of resources required to sustain existence.
• Botanic Physiology - Body of a plant. On one hand, hard to kill without complete destruction. On the other hand, rather squishy and very ugly. His source is located in his head, so in the case of decapitation or dismemberment, the section containing the head is considered to be the body for the sake of his powers.
• PhD in Botanical Science - Encyclopedic knowledge about, and the ability to rapidly comprehend, the nature of plants. Does not actually have a PhD, but has expressed interest in taking a correspondence course. (Nobody's going to give him a correspondence course.)
• Mr. Green's Organic Growth Hormone - Ability to rapidly grow independent plants by expending bodily plant matter and an appropriate number of plant-related resources i.e. water and shit. Allows for the quick creation of plant life ranging from poisonous flowers to hallucinogenic mushrooms to dank kush. Cannot be used without exposure to light.

• Primary control is a herbicide dispenser placed within the subject's core. At minimum exposure, it can be used to significantly weaken the subject, but quickly becomes highly fatal as the quantity of chemicals released increases.
• Secondary control is an array of incendiaries planted throughout the subject's form. Controlled detonation can be used to get rid of significant amounts of body mass without complete incineration, assuming the fire is put out in time.
• Tertiary control is helmet with a collar that decapitates the subject. While not directly leading to death, it neutralizes the subject until further notice.
• Traditional control is exposure to herbivorous creatures, dehydration, suffocation, and extended lack of sunlight.
