[color=42A9FF][u][b]History[/b][/u][/color]

April was born to Agent Bonnie Chase and Agent Freddie Flynn in spring 2022 at a SHIELD medical facility. Her mother had retired from active duty, transitioning into a lab based role at SHIELD. Their father was an active duty Operations agent, as well as a long lost son of the mutant terrorist, Magneto. By the time April was about five years old, her mother had been promoted to Director of Medical Sciences at SHIELD, so the family moved to Washington D.C. Their childhood growing up in the DC area was fairly normal, with occasional trips to Canada to visit her grandparents. 

April really liked being an only child - or at least, from what she remembers they did. When she was very little, her mother gave birth to her younger sister and only sibling, Zelda. April didn't like Zelda at first, finding her loud and stinky - but once Zelda wasn't a baby anymore, April actually liked having someone around her own age to play with. Unfortunately, the sisters never became particularly close, as they had the opposite personality types and interests. April was very extroverted, whereas Zelda was very introverted. 

April was about eleven years old when her X-gene activated and she gained her mutant powers. Their school had done a science field trip to the zoo. April had been admiring the hippos when the class bully had come on over and shoved April backwards. The bully's goons were jeering and laughing at them, and April saw red. The next thing she knew, the bullies had been doused with the water from the hippo tank and flung about twenty feet backwards. Needless to say, the school called her parents to come and get them. 

Given that her parents were both working for SHIELD, April always wanted to save the world. She wasn't interested in wearing a costume though and fighting villains - they more wanted to save the Great Barrier Reef and stop corporations from polluting the waters. Her favorite comic book character naturally was Poison Ivy. She finished middle school and her mother recommended her for the Margaret Carter Academy, and April started taking as many courses in environmental science as she could. She really loves their school and dreams of saving the ocean and the planet. 

And of course, April has a burning ambition to unseat the Young Avengers in the Contest of Champions before they graduate - and be elected Prom Queen and Class President and make Valedictorian too.

[color=42A9FF][u][b]Personality[/b][/u][/color]

April's personality is a study in duality, and she takes after her parents a great deal. They are very positive, upbeat, and lively - which often translates to them going on and on without any end in sight, which can tend to grow old quickly for certain people. She's very passionate about the things she cares in and hyper fixates on them, learning all of the information there is to know - for example, she's very interested in the environmental, particularly the ocean, and has often talked at her mother for hours at a time about it. This drive has caused them to pretty much go through school effortlessly, as they're the sort of person who reads textbooks and Wikipedia pages in their spare time (at the beach though, of course). 

But at the same time, they are incredibly competitive, always needing to come out on top and have the last word. They are very judgmental of other people, often making snap decisions about them and going to any lengths she has to in order to persuade other people to hold the same viewpoint that she does. It isn't enough for her to be right, she needs other people to recognize her as right. This also tends to drive them towards being a bit dramatic, blowing things out of proportion (mostly unconsciously, although on occasion they'll do it intentionally). 

[color=42A9FF][u][b]Traits[/b][/u][/color]
[list][*]Connections (SHIELD) - April's parents work for SHIELD. By making an ego check, April can call on them to provide help in the form of clues, information, or resources. 
[*]Glibness - April can strike up a conversation with anyone at any time and can often convince them to lend a hand. She has an edge on Ego checks to persuade characters she is speaking to for the first time. 
[*]Quick Learner - If April fails an action check, she gains an edge on the check if she tries the same action again on her next turn.

Elemental Control ([color=42A9FF]Water[/color] & [color=dcf3ff]Ice[/color])
[list][*][b]Special Effects triggered by a Fantastic success -[/b][list][*][color=42A9FF]Water[/color]: Surprises target until the end of the next round. 
[*][color=dcf3ff]Ice[/color]: Paralyzes target for one round.[/list]
[*][color=42A9FF]Elemental Barrier (Water)[/color]: [i]April forms a wall of water.[/i] [list][*]Prerequisites: Elemental Blast, Rank 2
[*]Action: Standard
[*]Duration: Concentration 
[*]Cost: 5 Focus 
[*]Effect: April forms a wall of water within her line of sight and up to 10 spaces away per rank. This covers up to 2 spaces across (vertically/horizontally) per rank. April makes an Agility check and compares the results against the Agility defense of any target in the affected spaces. On a success, April chooses which side of the barrier the target winds up on. On a failure, the target chooses. On a Fantastic success, the target suffers the element's special effect too. 
Attacks against the barrier are against April's Ego defense. Any attacks against it that do 10 points of damage or less are instantly absorbed, and the barrier continues. If an attack does more than 10 points of damage, it destroys the barrier. Either way, the attack leaves those behind the barrier unharmed.[/list]
[*][color=42A9FF]Elemental Blast (Water)[/color]: [i]April blasts a foe with water.[/i] [list][*]Prerequisites: Elemental Burst, Rank 2
[*]Action: Standard 
[*]Duration: Instant 
[*]Range: 10 spaces
[*]Cost: 5 or more Focus 
[*]Effect: April makes a ranged attack with an edge at any enemy in line of sight. For this attack, add +1 to April's Agility damage bonus for every 2 points of Focus she spends. On a success, an affected target takes that total damage. On a Fantastic success, an affected target takes double that total damage and suffers the elemental type's special effect.[/list]

[*]Effect: April makes a ranged attack with an edge at any enemy in line of sight. For this attack, add +1 to April's Agility damage bonus for every 2 points of Focus they spend. On a success, an affected target takes that total damage. On a Fantastic success, an affected target takes double that total damage and suffers the elemental type's special effect.[/list]
[*][color=42A9FF]Elemental Burst (Water)[/color]: [i]April fires a burst of water.[/i]. [list][*]Prerequisites: None
[*]Action: Standard
[*]Duration: Instant
[*]Range: 10 spaces
[*]Effect: April makes a ranged attack against an enemy in line of sight. If the attack is a success, it inflicts regular damage. On a Fantastic success, the enemy takes double damage instead and the elemental type's special effect.[/list]
[*][color=dcf3ff]Elemental Burst (Ice)[/color]: [i]April fires a burst of ice.[/i]. [list][*]Prerequisites: None
[*]Action: Standard
[*]Duration: Instant
[*]Range: 10 spaces
[*]Effect: April makes a ranged attack against an enemy in line of sight. If the attack is a success, it inflicts regular damage. On a Fantastic success, the enemy takes double damage instead and the elemental type's special effect.[/list]
[*][color=42A9FF]Elemental Grab (Water)[/color]: [i]April uses water to snare a target.[/i][list][*]Prerequisites: Elemental Burst, Rank 2
[*]Action: Standard 
[*]Duration: Concentration
[*]Range: Varies
[*]Cost: 5 Focus
[*]Effect: April makes an Ego attack against a target's Melee defense within 5 spaces times April's rank. If the attack is a success, April grabs the target with water. On a Fantastic success, the target can also be pinned and suffers the element's special effect. Breaking free requires a successful Melee check against target number 20.[/list]
[*][color=42A9FF]Elemental Protection 1 (Water)[/color]: [i]April protects herself with water[/i].[list][*]Prerequisites: Elemental Barrier, Rank 2
[*]Action: Standard or reaction 
[*]Trigger: April is attacked or otherwise in danger.
[*]Duration: Concentration
[*]Cost: 5 Focus
[*]Effect: April protects herself with water. Any attacks against her that do 10 points of damage or less are instantly absorbed, and the protection continues. If an attack does more than 10 points of damage, it destroys the protection. Either way, April remains unharmed.[/list]
[*][color=42A9FF]Elemental Sphere (Water)[/color]: [i]April can create a protective sphere of water.[/i][list][*]Prerequisites: Elemental Protection 1
[*]Action: Standard or reaction 
[*]Duration: Concentration 
[*]Cost: Same as April's Elemental Protection power 
[*]Effect: April envelopes herself - and any chosen people within up to 5 spaces times her rank - in a protctive sphere comprised of water.
When the sphere is formed, April makes an Ego check and compares the results against the Agility defense of unwanted characters in the enclosed spaces. On a success, April can move any unwanted people within the sphere's perimeter to spaces outside of the sphere. On a Fantastic success, such moved people suffer full damage and the element's special effect. 
Attacks against the sphere are against April's Ego defense. Any attacks against the sphere are absorbed as if made against April's Elemental Protection power, and the sphere continues. If an attack does more damage than April's Elemental Protection power can sustain, it destroys the sphere, but no one inside is harmed.[/list]
