[@Member 00492] Brevity is seriously not my strong suit but I did the best I could. All the really important stuff is in there though I do have significant elaborations on most of it. [hider=Gloria Latham, the Phantom Girl] [center][h1]Phantom Girl[/h1][/center] [color=Gray][color=White][h3][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u][/h3][/color] [b][color=Black]Name:[/color][/b] [indent]Gloria Latham[/indent] [b][color=Black]Alias:[/color][/b] [indent]Phantom Girl[/indent] [b][color=Black]Gender:[/color][/b] [indent]Female[/indent] [b][color=Black]Age:[/color][/b] [indent]19[/indent] [b][color=Black]Text Color:[/color][/b] [indent]Black [color=Black]000000[/color][/indent] [hider=Appearance][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/39/70/5b/39705b6531c2b232b9643396fa246293.jpg[/img][/hider] [color=White][h3][b][u]Powers and Abilities[/u][/b][/h3][/color] [b][color=Black]Powers:[/color][/b] [indent]Gloria has the ability to shift the quantum frequency at which her molecules vibrate in order to pass through solid matter. Essentially all matter on our plane of existence vibrates at a specific quantum frequency. It's like a signal that all matter operates on. By altering her own quantum frequency ever so slightly Gloria can pass through matter. [/indent] [b][color=Black]Weaknesses:[/color][/b] [indent]The biggest exception to this is electricity. Strong electrical currents are capable of jumping quantum frequencies. This means that attempting to phase through something that carries an electric charge effectively expose Gloria to that electricity. Depending on the voltage the effects of this exposure will vary. Anything with a high charge will effectively stop Gloria from being able to phase through the material. Any exposure to electricity in this state will result in intense pain but if the charge is low enough she may be able to push through. This kind of stress of her powers will leave behind something akin to a severe friction burn on any exposed skin that went through the process, effects on clothing may vary by circumstance. Organic matter carries a discernible electric charge which while not deadly in any sense will result in acute pain if she passes through a living thing such as a person or animal. Passing through vegetation is not a problem as the charge it carries is almost unnoticeable compared to other living things. When passing through something with a low level charge she is able to fry circuitry, such as security systems or computers by alter her quantum frequency in quick succession while inside the device. The denser a substance is the more difficult for Gloria to move through it. Something like glass would be fairly simple but a dense material like lead or osmium would be much more difficult and possibly even dangerous depending on how much of it she is phasing through.[/indent] [b][color=Black]Personal Possessions:[/color][/b] [indent]An ornate silver butterfly knife engraved with the letter A and a heart. A silver locket that no one ever sees her open.[/indent] [color=White][h3][b][u]History[/u][/b][/h3][/color] [b][color=Black]Experience:[/color][/b] [indent]Three months[/indent] [b][color=Black]Hometown:[/color][/b] [indent]Neo Gotham[/indent] [b][color=Black][i]Brief[/i] Bio:[/color][/b] [indent]Gloria was the adoptive daughter of Rose and Peter Latham of [i]Latham and Co Law Offices[/i]. There busy jobs defending the elite of Gotham left them little time to spend with their daughters. Whatever time they did have was usually spent with Gloria's little sister Cassandra who was the Latham's only biological child. This lead to a resentful and conflict driven relationship between Gloria and her parents. Further stress developed between them when Gloria's meta gene became active at the age of fourteen. Rose and Peter had a very strict intolerance of superpowered individuals whether it was caused by accident, exposure, design or in Gloria's case nature. They pulled her out of school to keep her out of the public eye and from that day forward she was raised primarily by tutors and servants of the household. Two years later scandal and tragedy struck the Latham household. Cassandra was found dead on the walkway three stories down from the Latham family penthouse, apparently murdered. Gloria was held responsible by her [i]own[/i] parents testimony, which stated that they'd seen Gloria push her sister to her death. Other circumstantial evidence corroborated this theory, however it was far too late to charge Gloria for it. She'd not stuck around long enough to see what the courts would determine. She ran for it, disappearing into the bowels of Neo Gotham. For a little less than three years Gloria drifted from place to place taking what she needed as much as she had to. At one point she even feel in with a group of Jokerz. Three months previously however something changed, a chance encounter saw Gloria prevent the mugging of a convenience store. This simple act filled a small part of the gaping hole inside her that had opened after she run away from home. Desperate to feel as though she wasn't a complete failure, as though she did (even in a small way) make a difference Gloria set up shop in an abandoned gym. What she didn't know of self defense and combat she taught herself via the web. This began a unique hero career as whenever she saved someone she took something of value from them. Not much, just enough to survive, to keep going. This earned her the name "The Reaper" in the district she inhabited as her favors never came without a price. [/indent] [b][color=Black]Reason for joining Robin?:[/color][/b] [indent]To everyone else she says she joined because she had no place else to go and nothing better to do but really she agreed to Matt's proposal because of a desire to set right those things in her past that haunt her still and to make sure it never happens to anyone else.[/indent] [b][color=Black]Notes:[/color][/b] [indent]- To the team Gloria goes by the name Catherine "Katty" Walker. Matt knew her true identity but respected her decision to keep it from the rest of the team. With him dead no one is aware of her real name. - Though her face has changed quite a bit from when she was sixteen Gloria wears a hood most of the time casting shadow over her face to make sure no one recognizes her. - She has a tattoo on her shoulder from her time with the Jokerz that marks her as a member of one of the more well known gangs. It's three black diamonds with one red on the right and below the formation the word [i]"Ace"[/i] and a heart symbol. - Her costume is fairly simple. It consists of a long black cloak with a large hood that shadows her face, black steel toed boots designed for running, black shorts and a tank top. The only points of real flare are her fishnet stockings and the studded belt she wears which is emblazoned with a skull.[/indent][/color] [/hider]
