@Puffhead And me?
Can Aiden have a pet? A dog, or a cat?
Character Name: Nastasya VolcovBasic Traits
Quote: "Держи карман шире." (Meaning, don't bite off more than you can chew.)
Height: 5'6"
Age: 25
Appearance: Nastasya has jet black hair that comes down to her waist. Her face is feminine but very stern as she rarely smiles. She has piercing green eyes and is slim but has some muscle tone. She wears a scarf that can be brought up to wrap around her mouth and nose or over her head as a hood. She often wears a slim-fit tank top sometimes underneath a jacket, when needed. Her jeans are ripped and worn in many places but still offer enough coverage. She wears combat boots that come up just below mid-calf.
Overall she is very pale and feminine, yet tough. Her style is that of comfort and necessity.
Ethnicity: Full-blooded Russian
Background
History: Nastasya was born and raised in Russia to a normal, lower-middle class family. She was brought up to hide strong emotions, as her family did. She had a fairly normal childhood, although a bit of a loner. She made few friends here and there, but her tendency to come off as bland or boring kept them from sticking around for too long.
She has a younger sister, Nadya, whom she felt fiercely protective over when she was young. As she grew older, Nadya made it clear that she could hold her own, but Nastaya couldn't help but feel like she needed protecting.
She got a job early on in her life, as hard work was of utmost importance to her family. As a teenager, she worked doing menial labor picking up odd jobs here and there. Most of the work she chose did not involve much human interaction as she had little charm to offer.
Rift History: Nastaya was working in the city when the rift first opened. She didn't think much of it at first, as many strange things have been known to happen in Russia. However, after a few months of little interest, Nastaya found herself in strange situations she couldn't explain. She was lying in bed one night when she suddenly felt herself sinking into the bed itself, as if it was barely there. As she began to realize what was happening, she started to panic, not know what was happening. As her heart raced, the bed seemed to completely disintegrate from under her, though she could still clearly see it. She ended up on the floor looking up at her once again solid bed. A little shaken up, but unable to explain what had happened, she simply crawled out from under it and laid back down.
Chocking her previous experience to some vivid nightmare, she went on about her daily life. These strange experiences starting becoming more frequent, however, and she could no longer ignore them. She would sometimes sink into the back of chairs or other furniture, sometimes find that things that were supposed to be malleable, weren't and later, she began phasing through objects as if they were merely air.
War History: Hearing about other people with abilities made Nastaya begin to realize she was part of something. Her family lived far enough away from the rift that none of them were affected. As violence began to break out and news of The Order spread, all of Nastasya's pent up emotion began to surface. Upon hearing of a particularly gory death of a peaceful Rifter she had known, Nastaya lost it. She burst through her small home, causing a shockwave of power to run through the infrastructure. The house collapsed behind her as the density of each wall wavered, causing the roof to cave in. In shock and regret, Nastaya decided to run away, as far away as she could.
She was eventually found by The Order. She fought as hard as she could against them but she was no match against their sheer force. She hated them with all her being but there was nothing she could do. She was contained in a prison-like chamber as the war raged on. She was constantly monitored and had to undergo strange tests by scientists in lab coats.
After the truce, however, she was offered a deal. As much as she hated The Order, she accepted to once again have some form of freedom.
Alliance: Nastaya has a fragile alliance with her people in the Temporalzone, as that was were she was naturally drawn. However, she has considered venturing to the Wastelands, having heard it is a place of rebellion.Abilities
Rift: The Russian Rift
Abilities: Control of Density of herself and inanimate objects
Side effects: As with any physical activity, using her powers is draining. She has developed enough stamina to hold out in a fight or to casually use her powers throughout the day, but trying to do too much takes it's toll.
There is also the possibility of injuring herself or others if she isn't careful. If she isn't able to maintain her density while phasing through an object and suddenly become solid again, she could potentially cut herself in half.
Personality:
Mission: For the most part, Nastaya is just trying to get by in this strange country. Underneath the surface, however, she has a deep hatred for The Order. She would love to one day take them out, but she knows that her powers are not strong enough to do it on her own. That coupled with her poor social abilities has caused a great deal of strife as she doesn't like to work with others.
Weaknesses: While able to hold her own in a fight, Nastasya is not all that physically strong. If she has worn herself out, it is very easy to get the upper hand in a fight.
Her social skill are also something she struggles with. Deep down, she wants to find someone who will accept her but she finds it almost impossible to express that to anyone. Her knee-jerk reaction is to almost always push people away.
She also has a great deal of guilt from collapsing her family's home. She assumed she killed them all in her fit of anger, but she has never bothered to find out for sure.
Strengths and Talents: She relies heavily on her powers in fights, both to dodge attacks (through making herself less dense, causing attacks to phase right through her) as well as to trap opponents (sometimes causing the ground that they stand on to swallow them whole).
She has incredible resilience to physical pain.
Fears: Her biggest fear is of losing control. She is also afraid of being alone forever but she would never admit it.
What do you think? Suggestions? Should I change anything?
@Puffhead And me?
@Puffhead if I wanted to make a change, say to add to the personality or appearance, how would you edit that in the approved section?

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
@Puffhead Yaaaas Nastasya will totally like Twilight. Although she has strange ways of expressing it.
Also, I think I want to make another character. What are we in need of? I haven't decided what gender or rifter my character will be yet.
I'm still considering a character, but I'm not 100% sure the idea I have is going to work well. I'll finish the sheet in the next day or two and we'll see.
Could animals be affected by the rifts or only humans? Cause’, I mean, a dog with Rapid Cellular Regeneration sounds rather awesome.

Quote: Oh, sorry... I don't mean to scare you... Or do I?
Height: From top-to-tail, close to nine foot. Normally stands at around 6.
Age: 18Appearance: From just below her waist-up, she looks like a normal person. She has dark black hair that reaches down to below the small of her back, a pair of dark green eyes, and tanned, latin skin. She would almost be considered a bombshell, if not for the fact that below her waist is a snake's tail- the colouration like that of a python or pit viper. When she opens her mouth, twin fangs are clearly visible, and they sometimes peek out over her bottom lip. Because of her unique anatomy, she wears no trousers,
skirts, or really anything else, instead having custom-made decency coverings, and then wearing clothes for her top half as normal.Ethnicity: Brazilian
BackgroundHistory: She was only nine before the rift opened, so she doesn't really remember that much. Her family lived in the Favelas of Rio De Janeiro, and she was no stranger to violence, even at a young age, but she never really considered that there might be outs. At least, not until...
Rift History:The rift opened almost directly above her house. At first, nothing happened, and everything went on as normal.
It was only when she went to a doctor thanks to a burning sensation in her leg, just as the first of the Brazilian mutations were being discovered, that she began to be concerned. As there was no way to judge what she would become, she was kept at the doctors for quite some time, until the transformation had completed.
She was initially taken to a government institution, where she learned of her second set of abilities, including lethal venom. Not only was it a fast acting neurotic, but she could also 'milk' herself to spit the venom, and had additional sensory fields. She could now sense heat signatures, agitated electrons, could 'taste' smells like other snakes, and her skin had a crude form of camouflage, allowing it to blend in with her scales. After leaving almost the entire facility dead, she fled to England at the tender age of 12.
War History: Although far too young to be a soldier, she found that her particular abilities made her extremley useful as a tracker and explosive detector. She worked closely with other brzilian troops as a scout and guide, and whilst she never killed another person,
she has seen what war does.
After the conflict finished, she assist with the finding of people in the wreckage of England, before she was picked up by Manya when she was fourteen.Alliance: Manya. Also the Wildlands, but mostly Manya.Abilities
Rift:Brazil
Abilities: Serpentine
Now only has Marcia been granted the tail of a snake from just below her waist down, allowing her to move much faster over difficult terrain, and fit into locations that a human could never dream of, she has also 'inherited' many other abiltiies from venemous snakes.
Her tongue is forked, and allows her to 'taste' smells, allowing for her to pinpoint where certain smells come from. Her canine teeth have also elongated and become more curved, becoming a pair of fangs that have the hypodermic structure that snake fangs have. She can use these fangs to inject a powerful neurotoxin, roughly as strong as that of a pit viper, into her victims, or 'milk' her own fangs in order to spit this venom. Lastly, her eyes have been permanently modified. Whilst they look normal, they actually allow her not only to see thermally,
but also agitated electrons, essentially letting her see electronic devices that are on.
Side effects: Cold blooded. Nothing more needs to be said.
Personality:
Mission: To find out what happened to her parents. She may be callous thanks to the influence of her good Russian friend, but she still cares about them.
Weaknesses: See 'fears'Strengths and Talents: Most of her natural talents were only enhanced by her rift powers.
Fears:She is paralysed by anything to do with traditional doctors. Don't even show her a needle.
@Puffhead I actually had another character in mind. I would need to ask you if it fits into the RP. If he does, I'd exchange Aiden, for him.
