Name: Elania Parades

Sex: Female

Birthday: September 20th, 1992

Birthplace: Eureka, California

Nationality: United States

Occupation: Freelance video editor

Education: UCLA, Film and Television B.A.

Skill(s):
Veritable Ghost: Through complicated machinations regarding data protection acts, international communications laws, and internet know-how, Elania has virtually expunged all trace of her existence from the world, both digital and physical. While this can only go so far within the reaches of government records, she is essentially invisible within the digital world, using pseudonyms, cryptocurrency, and VPNs to connect with the few clients she deals with.

Resourceful Mind: Throughout her time entertaining various conspiracy theories on the internet, Elania has conditioned herself to be able to escape an unsavory situation with relative ease, training how to find exits, basic knowledge of human body language, learning how to pick locks. While not professionally trained in escape artistry, it is evident that she has thought about what she would need to do if she gets caught in a bug-out scenario.

Appearance

Slim figure, 5' 9", green eyes, blonde hair

Personality: Elania is a fickle woman. Her disposition often vacillates to an extreme degree. She may be completely cynical and suspicious to one idea but then become trusting to a point of fault of another. Besides this, Elania has subscribed to the idea that there is an antagonistic dichotomy between people and large governments, to the extent in which she sees most government as ultimately tyrannical and working against the people. This isn’t to say that Elania has anarchist or libertarian tendencies, as she mainly bases her political sentiments on conspiratorial theories and rumors she hears online.

She can be quick to anger and easily frustrated, especially when things are outside of her control. While she can sometimes calm herself down, she often stays perturbed when she feels she is in a situation without much agency.

Elania enjoys talking to people. She likes spreading the things she knows or the theories she has found online. She is driven by an urge to help people, but in a manner which she can mobilize them to help themselves. She understands that this outlook on life is perhaps a bit too romantic, however she tricks herself into thinking that there are a few exceptions to deep cynicism, that sometimes an individual can go against the world, against all odds, and still win. It is perhaps these thoughts that propel her to look for alternative perspectives on world events, so as to find a truth powerful enough to stimulate others into changing their own perspective.

Biography:
Born to a stable family in the quiet suburbs of California, Elania’s childhood was spared of any misfortunate aberrations. She had no broken home, no problems at school, no problems with narcotics. Perhaps the most remarkable part of her childhood was how quickly she took to the internet. She spent a great amount of her childhood and adolescence surfing the web whenever she had spare time.

Her later years were entirely unremarkable. She studied Film, Television, and Digital Media at UCLA. She figured that she wanted a job that was digital, something she might be able to do from home, something she could use to capitalize on the new craze regarding video sharing and streaming sites. Her job is unremarkable, but she manages to pay the bills, partially due to how frugally she lives.

What happened on the 12th made her rethink her life. Elania experienced an existential crisis as she tried to come to terms with her weird, monstrous power. She was eventually able to calm down, even trying to test it out, but it is clear that her unfamiliarity with her power is not only due to the relative freshness of her power, but also due to her apprehension and refusal to come to terms with the fact that she is different.

Power(s):
Cellular Modulation and Induced Locomotion: Elania has the ability to change various aspects of the cells in her body. This allows her to modify the state her body is in, ranging from the viscosity and fluidity of water to the tactility and sturdiness of metal. While fine motor functions are rather difficult to pull off when her body is anything other than her human form, she still has a substantial degree of control and feeling. This allows her to move various masses of tissue and matter around her body for use in other areas, and also provides her some basic abilities of movement when altering the cells in her body.

The shape and form her cells can become is mainly limited by her familiarity with her power and the amount of tissue available. While she can change the durability of her body by modifying her cells into a harder, more solid form, these cells can still be damaged, they still feel pain, and they can still die. Additionally, while she can modify her body into fantastical shapes and forms, Elania still requires a pulse, oxygen, food, water, and a satisfactory amount of blood circulation, in addition to needing a brain.
