Princess of China - Coldplay


Rowan Rylatt


Iquili
(Zulu for "Ambitious" and "Fox")
They earned this title through their deceptive nature.


17 (turning 18 at beginning of roleplay)


Genderfluid (they/them)


They are very flexible and strong although these are just abilities, along with the fact that they're very good at climbing (parkour).
Powers include omnilingualism (the power to speak any language), living longer than most humans, night vision, telepathy/empathy (only able to hear others thoughts, sometimes rarely find their past, and feel their feelings), and (the strongest) their superhuman reflexes.
Skills include using their two special reappearing daggers.



Rowan is only human, and their transphobic father often haunts them. Even though they have superhuman reflexes, too many things happening at once can overwhelm them; which is exactly how they were caught.


Deceptive - Rowan often hides behind a fake mask, if you will. At first they seem sweet and innocent, like they’re just a normal human. They only reveal their true self during battles, when with other people they may not like or when not surrounded by guards. Their true self is very crude and violent, and often hurtful.

Considerate/Understanding - Even though this word contradicts their deceptive nature, they still know when they’ve really hurt someone (as it’s part of their powers) and will often act upon it.

Ebullient - Whilst being their true self, (crude, violent, and often hurtful) they are bouncy and full of energy


Like above, but with gauges and a black nose ring. The outfit they are wearing above is what they'd wear in their spare time if they weren't in prison.

This outfit (below) is what they wear when out and about (complete with fingerless gloves).



When they were twelve, they robbed the city’s central bank in seventeen seconds; five seconds to scale the four-story building, two to take out the guards, five to take the money (about $600,000), and the last five to get out.


Since they were thirteen, so about five years.


Rowan was born into a rich family. Their mother died when they were four. An only child, their father owned a business in the technology industry; Rylatt Reload. They only ever saw their father on Saturdays, when the two of them spend the day together; watching a movie, mini golfing, or other activities.

On other days, Rowan was on their own. When they were younger, the maids would look after them. During this time, they were taught by private teachers hired by their father. An at home school day was only four hours for them. The rest of the day, Rowan would go to parkour training and dagger training places on their own.

They discovered their powers at the age of seven. They discovered their power of omnilingualism when being taught French, and found that they could fluently speak that language as well as (all) others. Nightvision happened after sneaking out one night to practice scaling buildings. Their telepathy/empathy powers appeared when they had to listen to their father firing one of the maids. They could feel her anger, and could hear her words of fury in their head.

Their father was a very small-minded, private man who always loved to be right. It was often hard to convince him of things.

At the age of ten, they realized that they were not (just) female but, were genderfluid. One year later, they secretly got top surgery without their father knowing; they convinced the doctor by bribing her. None of the maids or house staff (or their father) knew.

But of course, their father found out only three months later. He asked them why they would do such a thing, which forced Rowan to come out to their father. He was furious and, after some harsh and transphobic words, kicked her out of the house with a backpack full of things of their choosing; some clothes, their daggers, and $100.

Forced to live on the streets is how their lifestyle of crime began. After making their $100 last for a month, they had no money. Being the age of ten, no one would hire them. They began with simply stealing from citizens on the streets, but that soon escalated to robbing from corner stores, to jewelry stores, to banks.
Two years later is when they pulled their biggest claim to fame: the seventeen second robbery.
A year after that, at the age of thirteen and after a lengthy battle, they were caught by some superhero and their sidekick.
Rowan would’ve been sent to juvie for longer than they were, if they’d not threatened to murder the judge’s wife and brother. They were first sent to juvie, and it was there that they received a visitation from their father. He told them that if they “promised to stop all this gender and criminal nonsense,” he would bail them out.
After the visitation, they escaped in a rage (after convincing a guard they weren’t a threat and were just a small child, then beating several others inside to a bloody pulp) and murdered the judge’s wife and brother.

It was then that they were deemed too dangerous for normal jail, and were sent to “a prisoner more fit” for them after being caught by a superhero and their sidekick. It was a long and tedious battle, and the sidekick was put into a coma by Rowan. In the end, they were caught.

They’ve been there ever since, every now and then convincing the occasional new guard that they were just a minor and could be trusted.

They’ve put a total of nine new guards in the hospital, have had no visitors, no parole, and are in their own separate cage as a consequence/form of solitary confinement.


Will not, under any circumstance, hurt children and will go out of their way to protect any children in danger

Quote:
“GRAaaARGH"

Theme Song:
Ocean man by Ween

Name:
MS-204

Alias:
King Shark, The King of Sharks, The King

Age:
Human/25 Shark/67

Powers and Skills:
Human-Shark Physiology- King Shark has many of the advantages of both humans and sharks. He has a great deal of strength, easily more than the strongest human on the planet but not nearly superman or wonder woman levels. He can lift around 2 tons with a great amount of effort but can be pushed to hit harder or lift heavier objects if sent into a frenzy. He has a great amount of stamina to complement his massive amounts of strength and also has some more natively fish like attributes such as rows of ravenous teeth, gills and the iconic dorsal fin. King can survive out of water for very long periods of time (up to a week) but has to have water in his gills at some point before that time to ensure he doesn’t ‘drown’. A unique bit of his physiology is his claws which are extremely sharp. He also has an amazing intellect (for his species) placing him on par with an average twenty year old human. . . generally speaking.

Swimming- MS-204 retains his shark like ability to cut through water with grace an power. He is extremely skilled at long distance swimming using a mix of his natural endowments and human swimming practices.

Weaknesses:
Frenzy- If there’s a lot of blood getting sprayed around, the more bestial part of The King’s mind will take over and send him into a blind flurry of aggression while further enhancing his already powerhouse of a body but also making it harder to discern friend from foe. It takes either a lot of effort or for everyone around him to be dead, to calm down King Shark.

Eye-Sight- Although its a myth that Sharks have bad eyesight, King Shark actually does to to complication from his transformation. He can see up to ten meters away before things get drastically blurry.

Personality:
The King fits the bill of gentle giant in ever regard except for the gentle part. While he normally has a pretty calm demeanour outside of combat but when it comes to fighting people can see the true ruthlessness of a shark with legs. When not fighting, King Shark’s favourite pass times are swimming, reading or watching spongebob. He is always eager to correct people when they say he’s a mutant human.

Biggest Claim to Fame:

How Long Have You Been in Prison:
He’s been in captivity for a majority of his life.

Brief History:
King Shark was born as Marine Subject 204 in Hawaiian based government funded think tank. The goal of the think tank was to find an easier way of transferring genetic traits of one species to another. Most of the experiments ended horrifically but a few subjects managed to survive the splicing process and gained various human like attributes from the process. Eventually the whole project was shut down due to a clear lack of steady progress but most go the successful subjects were seized by the government to be used in other fields. MS-204 was one of those successful projects. Though King Shark’s mutation process wasn’t perfect, it was a lot better than many of his peers’ transformations.

After being repossessed by the government MS-204 (nicknamed King Shark by his previous carers) King Shark was raised* to be a loyal soldier for the government’s use at a future time. Recently he’s been drafted onto Task Force X by Amanda Waller herself.
