[Lasrever]

This took way less time than I expected! Although I think that's just 'cause I'd already finished half of it by the time I thought to ask if it was okay. Definitely didn't spend about an hour picking a hero name. Nope.

Anyway, here's a character sheet!

| In Depth Appearance |
Standing at around 5'6" and 130 lbs, Amy doesn't particularly stand out compared to a lot of the people at first glance. She has a tattoo of a hummingbird on her shoulder blade that isn't generally visible to others due to the clothes she wears, which aren't particularly revealing. Most of the time, she just wears casual shirts along with jeans and battered old sneakers. Her hair tends to be styled to stay out of her face, although there are a few strands that seem to fall there no matter what she does.

Her makeup is fairly natural, clearly not intended to draw attention to her at all. Her ears are pierced, and she tends to wear fairly small silver earrings. Other than that, she doesn't wear much jewellery. She normally seems to be smiling to herself a little bit, like she's in on a joke that no-one else is. This can make it seem like she's laughing at people, even if she doesn't intend to give that impression.

If someone looks closely, they might notice that she carries a small extendable baton under her jacket. This is mostly to use in conjunction with her powers - what's the point of shutting down someone's abilities if they can still beat the crap out of you?

| Personality |
Amelia is a very controlled person. She isn't proud of having powers, and thinks of herself as slightly seperate from other supers. Partly as a result of growing up thinking she was normal, and partly because the nature of her powers, she doesn't make it a part of her identity like many seem to, thinking of herself not as a super, but rather as a normal person who just happens to have powers.

She is quite the optimist, and tends to try and keep others feeling positive about things while still staying realistic. Preferring to keep a low profile and avoid confrontation, she doesn't make a big fuss over most things, although she will happily talk to people. She can be quite trusting initially, although if someone betrays her then she won't listen to them again.

One of the few things that can make her angry is when people talk badly about people without powers. She has a little bit of an inferiority complex from comparing herself to people with more physically impressive powers in the Academy, and it is an easy way to provoke her into action. If someone does make her angry, though, she can be surprisingly ruthless in her attacks to the point where it can get out of proportion in terms of violence.

| Abilities |
Advanced - Negation Field: Amy can completely nullify the powers of people in a controlled radius around her, excluding her own minor power. She can extend and retract the boundaries of this 'field' at will, though it is always at least somewhat present, generally confined to the space within her own body. It does block telepathy from affecting her, however.

Minor - Instinctive knowledge: Upon coming into contact with any man-made tool, Amy instinctively knows how to use it at a high level. This ability also extends to computer skills, making her an impressive programmer and occasional hacker.

| Limitations |

Negation Field: Amy cannot control who the field affects, only the radius of the field. This means that it can hamper her allies as well as her enemies. She is also vulnerable to attacks from outside the field, meaning that if she is caught off-guard she can be taken out quickly.

Instinctive knowledge: While her technical skill is high, her actual physique is still that of a normal human being. Her ability only seems to work with whatever the tool was designed for - if she was fighting with something not intended to be a weapon, she would be fairly useless at wielding it.

| Place Of Origin |
Glasgow, Scotland

| Family |
Mother: Abbie Stevenson: The manager of the family cafe in Glasgow, with a penchant for expensive jewellery. No known powers.

Father: David Stevenson: A mechanic at a garage. No known powers.

| History |
Growing up in Glasgow, Amy was always a pretty normal girl. Sure, sure, she was good at stuff. Top of the class when it came to painting and sports like javelin, but nothing that couldn't be explained by just being naturally talented. Her intelligence was always a little above average, but nothing seemed too impressive about her, and she didn't really have the drive to push herself into taking a degree, leaving school at 17 with slightly above-average grades.

After half a year living at home, unemployed, she ended up landing herself an IT job thanks to her impressive programming skills - something that seemed to come out of nowhere - she spent most of that year helping people out as much as she could at a small company. Sadly, it wasn't to last, and around a year after she'd taken the job the offices were attacked by a rogue super.

An air manipulator, he massacred the people in the office quickly and brutally, flying past the windows and launching projectiles that caught them off-guard. When he came to Amy's floor, she was standing at the window, watching in horror as he moved up the building. As he floated up, their eyes locked she felt a cold, almost empty feeling extend from her, and the man's psychotic grin morphed into a look of confusion and shock as his powers failed and he was sent spiralling towards the pavement.

Amy herself was almost as shocked at what happened, but the realisation that she might not be as average as she thought eventually sunk in. Even if she realised that she'd killed the man, she didn't feel particularly sorry about it. Sure, normally the death penalty was serious, and it didn't really happen where she lived, but some people really did deserve it, you know?

She began to practice manipulating the field, realising that she could extend it around her at will. In her attempts to try an discover her secondary power - supers had those, at least as far as she knew - it occurred to her that her skills with painting and programming might not just be a coincidence. Buying a series of assorted tools, she tested each of them, and sure enough, she could use them perfectly.

Realising that she was no longer content with just being another girl working in a dead-end job, she made the decision to apply to Mayweather in the United States. Once she got there, she tried not to stand out too much, keeping her head down and making sure not to tell anyone her power.

To her irritation, her main ability was useless in the control room, leading most people to see her as one of the weakest people in the entire Academy. The only people that give it a second thought seem to be the school's telepaths, whose abilities her field blocks from taking effect even when she restricts it to within her body.

No-one in the school - well, schools - has actually confronted her to her face, but she suspects that it is only a matter of time before they go for her. After all, she'd seem like a pretty easy target from her terrible control room performances. Despite not minding flying under the radar, she finds herself looking forward to proving them wrong about that.

@Lasrever great character. She's accepted. I won't be able to add her to the list until I'm home :)

I'm looking forward to seeing her in action.

[NarcissisticPotato]

@lovely complex

Lovely! I think I have a bit of an idea for a collab - would you be interested?

[LovelyComplex]

@NarcissisticPotato PM me your idea and we can talk. :)

_{still not home, out with family}

[FacePunch]

@lovely complex You're getting so many collab requests. You're so popular.

[LovelyComplex]

@FacePunch It's funny, I was talking to a friend and I counted all the collabs in this roleplay and my characters are literally in half of them xD

[Thundercrash]

@FacePunch@lovely complex that's cause half of their characters are shit-stirrers.

[FacePunch]

@ThundercrashReally, that's the only logical choice in life.

[LovelyComplex]

@Thundercrash@FacePunch

Hider

The goal is to get a solo Ellie post in soon. Once Beast's collab with Thunder is done, we will be doing a collab together with Elijah and Gia while she's having a moment to herself. This collab will hopefully show you a different layer to Gia. :)

[smarty0114]

Oh hot diggity dayum. Writing that Will post gave me some hardcore feelings, damn diggity damn. Almost done with Avalon's post and then I'll post. Stay tuned :D

Edit - hahahahha just realized that Avalon's grandma should be Olivia Levi, not Middleton #awkward #imbadatsurnamesimsorry

[SkeankySnack]

@Thundercrash & I made another wall of text XD

[FacePunch]

veryone needed someone to fear. Why not give the people what they wanted?

@lovely complex

Are you taking the Nazi's spotlight?! HOW DARE YOU.

[SomewhatAverage]

Hey, so I wanted to let you guys know that tomorrow, I will be leaving for vacation! I thought that I would have enough time to post regularly, but unfortunately, it doesn't look like things will turn out that way. Don't worry, I'll still be on the site, and I don't plan to leave anything unfinished; just don't expect me to post quite as often until Friday, when I get back.

[LovelyComplex]

@SomewhatAverage Thanks! Don't worry, I have a bit of a writing load to keep me busy. So Gia can be put on a hold while I focus on Ellie :P

[FacePunch]

[LovelyComplex]

@FacePunch delicious.
