Yeah, if accepted CJ is gonna hate this dude the most. 😂😂

Probably the whole "is successful at music" thing.

Oh man, the characters are great so far from everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed going through the sheets, and the music. I freshened up my character from the previous iteration, making a few adjustments and rewriting some things. I realize I jumped ship last time, but the lack of posting everywhere (in my own game as well) really got to me. But, I'll give this my all, regardless, again, if we get around to it. I'm okay with being cut, though, to make room for someone else if you get a lot of players.

Edit: not using this character.

---- Natalie was as plastic as they come. The only things that mattered were obsession with appearance, fashion, social status, and trends. Academics and doing good with grades were somewhat outlandish concepts to Natalie, even if she did understand most of what was being taught. She was a core member of the so called Mean Girls or Plastics at Ritman High. Natalie did not care for the titles back then, but she has deeply reflected on how bizarre her behavior was. While the influence of the Plastics over some matters at the school and Delton at large was noticable, they were usually not overtly evil or nasty towards other students and teachers. Even if some kind of bullying did occur, it was mostly online and towards other girls that had somehow offended the group. The issue was the low threshold for the word 'offended'. Someone could wear the wrong things to school or simply have a pathetic follower count on Instagram to qualify as causing offense. That is where the Plastics set the bar. On a positive note, if there could have been such a thing, Natalie was not the worst of the bunch. There were four other girls in this circle of devils that certainly cursed their own names a lot more with their vile actions. Some of them were quite outspoken and loud. Natalie, on the other hand, was more of the passive aggressive type that simply stared at people or made snarky remarks. However, this behavior only happened when Natalie was around the other Plastics. When she was alone, Natalie conversed with other students in her classes and randoms in the corridors in a completely normal and sometimes even friendly manner. At these moments, she was a bit of a 'bridge' between the sociopathic Plastics and the regular crowd, even the rejects at times. But, at the end of the day, Natalie was not innocent. Her primary territory of nastiness was online, specifically Instagram. She was known to shit on people that did not deserve to exist on social media. It was as if she was possessed by a demon whenever her phone mesmerized Natalie with its compelling light. ---- Natalie's behavior somewhat faded after graduating from Ritman. She had a special someone to thank for that, but it was a closely guarded private matter that Natalie did not speak of. However, her attitude and 'the way that she is' has always been there and will remain to some degree. Luckily, there is no contact with the other girls from the Plastics anymore, so there is nothing that can fuel the fire, as it were. Shortly after Ritman, Natalie put all of her effort and time into her social media presence. She even started to Stream herself on an online platform, playing some video games and just chatting with her viewers. Eventually, the follower count skyrocketed, the sponsorships rolled in, and one complicated social environment was traded for another. The 'influencer' world was not unlike what Natalie had already experienced back at Ritman. It was just larger in scale, not to mention the fashion and modeling world that came creeping ever so closer. Out of the two things, Instagram and Streaming, Natalie certainly preferred the latter and interacting with the viewers. Natalie would not consider herself spiteful, just uninterested. The social media thing has taken a toll on her, mentally and physically. The realization that she engages with a hostile industry that feels no remorse when taking advantage of people or abusing them has surely made Natalie more humble. However, and on a positive note, the community surrounding her Streaming has definitely brought Natalie down to Earth quite a bit. It has been the only redeemable thing about be a 'public' figure. She has secretly wished for a change in her environment and social circle, though. The people that she naturally attracts are often unhealthy company. They are obsessive-compulsive narcissists that take joy in character assassinations and degenerate indulgences. But, the influencer business is like any other addiction. It is difficult to get out of it even if you want to. Natalie needs an excuse, any kind of excuse, to close it all down or at least reduce the amount of clout chasing she does herself and is subjected to. Time after Ritman made Natalie more verbal and concerned with 'what is right' and how things 'should be'. She is quite well-spoken, but there is still a clear hint of the old resting bitch-face thing where she does not say anything. Her lack of verbal filter online has spilled into the real world. She can, at times, when pressured, say things that can leave a bad taste in people's mouths. It is not always intentional, though. The real and online worlds sort of bleed together, as if Natalie was constantly on a bad trip from shitty drugs. There is a bit of derealization and depersonalization going on with her, as a result of constant dopamine drowning and the presence of people that are horrific caricatures of themselves. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

---- Natalie can affect physical and mental health. Health in this case is the state of physical and mental well-being of a person or animal that is clearly alive. She can increase or decrease the healing process to the point of rapid regeneration or indefinitely prevent recovery at all. At some stage, Natalie is able to sense or detect injuries and diseases in an entity before it is apparent or felt. Wounds and diseases that Natalie has healed or prevented are also subject to be re-inflicted by her hand. However, she cannot cause new wounds or diseases with this ability. Moderate to severe pain can be alleviated by physical contact with Natalie. The more contact, the less pain someone will feel. However, the relief will subside the same instant as the contact is broken. This can affect certain mental and emotional duress. However, the effectiveness might depend on who the person at risk is. Physical contact is also necessary when Natalie has to heal a wound. Depending on circumstance and severity, the healing process itself might be extremely painful, as the body is not used to rapid cellular regrowth and tissue regeneration. As for Natalie herself, the ability does not work automatically. She must go through the same process of focus as with healing a third party. However, the process will seem to be automatic in regard to poisons, toxins, viruses, parasites, and other such things. That is, Natalie cannot get infected or sick by external influence. Further, the healing process could also remove minor imperfections of the skin, such as scars, acne, rashes, burning, and other inflammations or harm caused by elements. ---- Natalie's story has a classic redemption arc. The idea is for her state of being to go from Villain to Tragic Hero to Savior. Her power is meant to push her into the last stage of it, as opposed to realizing it herself. This will be her internal struggle, so to speak, and I mean to show this through written character thoughts. I want to move Natalie towards a certain trope that I do not know the name of. It is when someone on the 'bad side' flips and joins the 'good side', and then becomes almost like a weapon for the good side. In this case, it would be Natalie's social history and experience with people like herself and how to deal with them. This does not have to be realized on an impactful scale, but if a tiny moment comes along, then that is enough for this to be a thing. The healing power will force out the last bits of the old Natalie that still lingers. That was the original intention with this kind of benevolent light being forced upon this sinister character. Natalie will have to come to terms with what her powers entails, and that the way she is will only hold her back. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

- █████ STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES █████ + Immunity to sickness, poison, and parasites. − For serious wounds or advanced diseases, Natalie must eventually sacrifice her own well-being as a health transfer. This will show itself as fatigue, fever, and other common symptoms of a general cold or influenza. - Radiation and other advanced hazards cannot be healed. − This ability cannot de-age or revive someone from the dead. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
