| In Depth Appearance |

Sylvia is a ginger headed girl with chocolate eyes and prominent facial features, standing at a modest 5'7". She keeps her hair generally at shoulder length, believing it to be more fashionable than long hair. Not to mention, it's much less stressful to maintain and style each morning. At almost all times, Sylvia can be seen sporting a generous amount of makeup to really make herself pop. Body-wise, she's a bit of a twig. There's not too much to look at concerning her upper body, considering she's not incredibly well endowed, but one would be hard pressed to say that Sylvia didn't have a nice rear. To compliment her best features, she wears expensive clothing that's more modest and shows only a tinge of skin.

| Habits | Quirks | Oddities |

♚ Sylvia dresses finely every day, no matter the circumstance.
♚ She has a habit of blowing money very fast, generally on petty items.
♚ Due to a revulsion of those beneath her, she appears very uncomfortable around those she deems “plebeians”.

❀ Shopping, of course

| Personality |

Sylvia is a vain, self-righteous, egotistical bitch. She is totally focused on status and belittling any that aren’t of the upper class. As the daughter of a heavily influential figure, Sylvia likes to think of herself as untouchable and privileged. Due to this, she has no problem being condescending and rude to the Academy’s higher ups. She appears to be more interested in keeping her looks up than getting any semblance of an education.

Being the princess that she is, Sylvia stomps the halls with refined elegance and pulls strings to get her way. Men and women who are interested in her, for whatever reason, have next to no chance of dating her unless they are of elite status, although they may find it hard to get anywhere at all due to her prudish nature. She disdains those who don’t dress regally and take pride in their appearance. Fortunately, she tends to keep to herself unless she has the compulsion to say something.

| Abilities |

Radiant Energy Manifestation - Advanced

Brilliant Wings | Hard – Wings of pure yellow energy sprout from Sylvia’s back, allowing her to fly. However, this is harder to maintain than it seems, and currently she can only fly short distances or glide. These wings can also be used as a form of protection, but they may collapse if the attack is strong enough to penetrate it.

Luminous Ray | Medium to Hard – Her hands are capable of projecting beams of energy. The damage these rays can do are totally dependent on the time she puts into charging them. A hasty shot, for example, might hurt as much as being punched, while a charge held for a few minutes could do massive damage to one’s organs.

Righteous Blessing | Medium – With but a touch, Sylvia can invigorate one’s powers, though not her own. The recipient of this "blessing" has their powers amplified for a time dependent on how long she spends touching them. The effect this has on individuals varies on a case by case basis.

Savior’s Aegis | Easy – A majestic barrier appears to protect an individual from harm, but, like her wings, it can be penetrated with a strong enough attack. This cannot be used on herself, only on others.

Regeneration | Easy – Sylvia can heal wounds and regrow limbs of herself and others, though she is unable to repair fatal wounds, such as decapitation.

| Limitations |

Sylvia’s most useful abilities are supportive, so while she can operate alone, she is most effective working in a team. This conflicts heavily with her haughty personality, considering she refuses to work with all but a select few. Luminous Ray and Righteous Blessing require time to be at their utmost effectiveness, which can be problematic in time limited situations.

| Place Of Origin |

Durham, North Carolina

| Family |

Joshua "Electrike" Vargas, 50 – Current President of Duke Energy. He comes from a long line of wealth and possesses the ability to manipulate electricity. He has a reputation as a gracious, self-sacrificial, and kind hero.

Dr. Elise "Sentience" Vargas, 47 – Head of the Department of Education for Superhumans in New York. Like Joshua, she comes from a very prestigious family. Elise has quite a bit of power over the Headmasters and Professors of Mayweather and Delphina due to her position, something that Sylvia uses to her advantage. Dr. Vargas is renown for her healing abilities. Like her husband, she is known to be one of the nicest superhumans, as well as very mild mannered and understanding.

Everest Vargas, 8 - Sylvia's little brother. He's a bit of a pest. His powers have not awakened yet.

| History |

Sylvia was born to the greatly successful Joshua and Elise Vargas, both who have great prestige within the superhuman community. However, their gentle natures cultivated a princess-like personality in their young daughter, who was treated so well and never disciplined. By the time middle school had come around, Sylvia had a nasty reputation for taking what she wanted from the others kids and teasing them to tears, effectively becoming the school bully rather than the sweet little girl that her parents had wanted her to be. Joshua and Elise tried everything they could to do reverse their daughter’s behavior, but had little to no effect considering their persistence in using encouragement rather than punishment.

High school saw the advent of an even more vicious Sylvia, who became aware of her social standing and wealth compared to some of the other students. She also saw that her parents would do anything to protect her, to the point they would threaten to shut down a school if their precious little girl was in any kind of harm. With the teachers and other authoritative figures wrapped around her finger, she preceded to do what she liked without any opposition. Without any contest, she made her high school and everyone in it her bitch.

Her experience at Mayweather has been much the same as her high school experience. She is free to do most anything she wants and gets away with murder due to her mother’s status. In fact, it’s become a favorite hobby of hers to berate the lowborn Cecilia Lovelace, one of the most feared teachers in school, simply to showcase her dominion. Her mouth speaks her thoughts, often daring other students to try their luck. She knows, and everyone else knows, that any potential threat to her could end up shutting down the school or getting a kid expelled. Strangely though, Sylvia hasn’t used her power to develop any political edge on the school nor has she developed a following that could metaphorically rule the school. She seems more intent on using this for pettier gains than anything else.

| Extra |

It's no secret that Sylvia had a crush on Vince last year and she seemed a bit broken up about his death. Also, she is one of Genna Lovelace's best friends.

[Thundercrash]

Oh hey Paige, I was wondering what you were up to.

I can see Sylvia trying really hard to become Minako's friend once she realizes how wealthy her family is :)

[Viciousmarrow]

@Thundercrash
She'll respect her for that, but if she's a dweeb or nerd like Eliana, then she might still rag on her. xD

[LovelyComplex]

@Viciousmarrow accepted (but turn Genna to Jenna :P)

[Legion02]

Now THIS is interesting. On one side I doubt she'll like the whole Gianna gang because of Gianna. Then again, Lucas isn't particularly poor. And there is the influence of Jenna... I wonder how Sylvia and Lucas' first interaction will go! But then there is Amelia. Who's probably even wealthier than Lucas (doesn't dress like it though). She'll dislike Sylvia for her bitchy attitude. She isn't really that much of a nerd or a dweeb but she's not really how Sylvia is.

Oh also, Lucas could hate her for the sole fact that her "power" over the school comes solely from the influence of her parents. If she even insults him he'll retaliate from the shadows! (And now I actually want to see that happen!)

[Viciousmarrow]

@Legion02
Oh I've already got most of Sylvia's intro down. Just gotta wait for lovely to do her part. I'm sure Lucas is going to love her oh so much after this.

[Legion02]

... Ellie stomping. No doubt... She can expect a thank you (and maybe an extra nicety... if she appears like she actually wants to ruin Eliana and not just a one time thing) I can't wait! :D

[Viciousmarrow]

It's uh... It's a mixed bag of bashing. >.>

[Legion02]

@Viciousmarrow You all making me incredibly anxious and that is NOT good for me! >.>

[LovelyComplex]

Alright fam, so I gave it a couple of days, but to keep things moving, I'll be writing up the next Eliana post with Mrs. Lovelace, ya'll can assume everyone who was on the list is there, maybe besides a couple that I'll be swaping out with Sylvia (and maybe someone else). We'll see. Goal is to have it written in the next couple of days. :)

Everyone who is there but hasn't posted will be an NPC until I know of their whereabouts.

Thanks for being awesome and patient.

[LovelyComplex]

Since people have been PMing me about things, I haven't been feeling the best this week! But don't you fret, I will not give up on this roleplay.

Because I've been under the weather, my inspo has been low. I have a post in the works, it's just been slow sailing. Today is a good writing day for me so I'm hoping to crank through it :D

My apologies everyone. I am going to assume all those who wrote after the timeskip post are still with me and the story. Once I get this meeting done and over with, it'll be back to character driven awesomeness since I want us to have some fun interactions before I timeskip to Halloween :3

[Thundercrash]

@lovely complex We're not in any hurry :) Take care of yourself, and I hope you get better soon!

[LovelyComplex]

@Thundercrash Thanks! Today is better :D

You all just expect an extensive read since my post will include Sylvia's introduction xD, Ellie's post, Cecilia's meeting discussion, and Gianna's post. xD

The only loyalty Florence knows is to her family.

| Place Of Origin |

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

| In Depth Appearance |

Dazzling and elegant, Florence Annabelle of the esteemed Sauveterre family is absolutely stunning. One look at her form, and one could see just how much so she really is. No one really pays attention to how oddly-white her skin could appear to look in certain lights because it’s just so flawless and without fault. Her eyes are light brown in color and her hair of same shade, but darker. The way her head is shaped and how her hair flows down, she looks like royalty. When her hair is down, the attention is brought to her eyes. It’s a magnificent sight, really.

Coming at a height just one inch below sixty-five inches, Florence doesn’t have much of a tall form. In all honesty, she’s rather short, but that doesn’t matter to her. She presents herself as if she’s the tallest woman in the room. Nothing about her is without subtle power and unsubtle confidence within herself. Her body weight is an even fifty kilograms(one-hundred-and-ten pounds). Her body is slender, her womanly features respectable but not outrageous. There is nothing unwomanly about Florence yet it’s not out there in a way that makes her anything less than a lady.

You will not catch Florence without wearing a dress or very formal wear at all times. Even when it’s every day, Florence finds it appalling to not be wearing a dress of some kind. No, not a sunflower dress or those frilly ones that “California girls” wear in the summer time. These kinds of dresses are the kinds that business women and heiress’ wear to everyday gatherings. Being the heir to the Sauveterre fortune, Florence just doesn’t represent her family, but she represents the Sauveterre pride. To dress in anything less than what she knows to be proper would go against everything she was raised on. They will judge you with their eyes first, her mother said to her every day, so she must look as good as she speaks.

| Personality Traits |

Proper | Eloquent | Presentable | Well-spoken | Manipulative | Double-crossing | Ambitious | Untrustworthy | Two-Faced | Power-Hungry

| Personality |

First and foremost, Florence always presents herself in the most dignified way. Someone who comes from a family with an esteemed reputation among those with powers and those without, as well as those on both hero and villain sides of things, Florence must carry herself with pride and always look presentable. Furthermore, she is someone that doesn’t stoop to the level of some that find it appropriate to speak obscenities towards anyone in any situation that might arise. Added to that, when she speaks, even if you may not like her, she has a certain allure to her like nature itself that makes people shut up, look, and learn something. When she speaks words, it’s like watching the sun set or it rising from night.

When you first meet Florence, she is always the first one to extend her hand out as a gesture of goodwill. Despite where her family's standing in the the battle of good and evil or where she has stated that she herself stands in said battle, Florence will, without a moment’s hesitation, offer her sincerest greetings. She will always do this with a smile. It’s a smile that is warm like the rays of summer’s sun.

But most of all, it’s a smile that is one-hundred percent, absolutely fake in every possible way.

Fact is that Florence might seem nice and kind, but do not confuse that with genuine kindness. She is, in every sense of the word, conniving. If she’s not planning how to use your own secrets against you, Florence is planning something else equally as devious and vile. There is nothing this woman won’t do to get the edge over someone. She isn’t afraid of playing dirty. When she finds out about those darkest secrets that one holds so close to their heart, she’ll find a way to use that to her advantage. Not many know this, but Florence has eyes on being the most powerful person, influence-wise, at Mayweather Academy. This could even extend to Gianna herself.

Despite how ambitious her goals might be, she is very patient. Much like her alias, Florence waits out the seasons. She poises herself like the cobra, and when the time comes, she strikes with as much force that hurricane winds. Like the swiftness of a coursing river, she can make someone’s life be a terrible, terrible experience.

One could say that Florence revels in the fact that she could hold someone’s life in her very hands. Whether she decides to do nothing about it or plan something vile to do with whatever she has on someone. Everything is fair game when it comes to Florence’s goals to become queen. Stand beside her, and she’ll reward you handsomely; however, if you stand in her way, know that Mother Nature never forgives treason. No matter how long it takes, everything she sets out to do will be accomplished.

If you think that everything about her is all calm and calculated, then obviously you don’t read comic books because the villain always has a mean streak, and boy does she ever. It’s rarely seen, even rarer for the masses to see it, but nevertheless Florence’s anger is there. Deep and buried under several layers of her prim, elegant, proper facade, is someone who harbors deep hatred for just about everyone who gets in her way. When it all fails, when everything she plans falls to the ground, there will be a moment when she forsakes all kept appearances, and let people know just what she’s about. Granted, it will take something rather drastic to bring this side of her out, but do not believe for a second that it doesn’t exist — it does exist. Pray that you’re not on the receiving end of her wrath for it has the force of ten-thousand women scorned, and ten times as bloody.

Like the saying goes: It’s just the calm before the storm.

| History |

Duty and proper representation to the Sauveterre family name has always been the most important ideal that Florence was taught growing up in Montreal, Quebec. It was taught to her by her father. It was taught to her by her mother. Both of them put heavy emphasis that that both Florence and her older brother, Lorenzo, are to take it into account that everything they do will, one way or another, reflect how people see the Sauveterre family. If they are to embarrass themselves publicly, then the Sauveterre family will be embarrassed as a result. If they were to accomplish something great, then the name of the Sauveterre family would be held in high opinion in all of Montreal.

This was of most importance to Lionel and Estelle. As harsh as it might have been to both Lorenzo and Florence, in time they grew to understand that it was for the better. Without the good name of the Sauveterre family, they wouldn’t live in the place that they grew up in. One of the largest mansions that Montreal had to offer. And it was all thanks to how Lorenzo and Florence handled themselves in the eyes of the media. Perfect examples of how socialites; not like the Kardashians of America. No, Lorenzo and Florence Sauveterre knew how to present themselves not only to the mass public, but the many friends and associates that their parents had thanks to the multi-million dollar empire that Lionel had build with his loving wife, Estelle.

And who knew that in a world where superpowers existed that a wealthy, powerful family could blend in with those who didn’t have powers. No one knew that all four members had powers. No one knew that the reason they were so wealthy was because of how brilliantly-skilled Estelle was with her Probability Manipulation power. She knew when the stock market would be at its best and which companies to bet on and which to forget about. She knew what the odds were of certain business ventures were and how to stack them up repeatedly in their favor.

And then there was Lionel himself. He has the rather impressive ability to manipulate the seasons. With that, he was able to compromise certain rivals of his to trap them from attending meetings that would decide their company’s fate, such as when Sauveterre Industries was going to acquire their companies. Or even more grim of examples, causing “accidents” to happen that would result in their untimely demise. He used this for the majority of his youth to gain footing in his business with his wife. A ruthless businessman, he is.

As for Lorenzo, he has the uncanny ability of knowing how things work, picking them apart, and putting them back together again as if he never did anything to begin with. He used this to know exactly which marketing strategies would work, what Sauveterre Industries should market, and just exactly when they should do it. Furthermore, this ability really came in handy when the company was falling in certain areas. It’s no wonder he was promoted to President of Marketing just days after getting the VP position. Some call it the advantage of being the Boss’ son, but let’s face it: it’s thanks to his power.

And then came the youngest of the two children of Lionel and Estelle, Florence. Her power more aligned with her father’s rather than her mother’s. Florence has the fitting power of Nature Manipulation; though she developed it rather early. It was seen that her potency was higher than her brother’s was; and unstable. She didn’t quite have a grasp on her powers just yet, so she was sent to a special academy that would help her train and hone her abilities. It was like something straight out of some terrible, corny comic book that Lorenzo occasionally reads. Still, she went to the one known as Delphina Academy. For the longest time, she went there with the intention to use her powers for her own personal gain. It wasn’t until a night before her current year did it suddenly burn to the ground.

Bummer.

Now she was forced to blend in with the Mayweather kiddies. She would make the most of it. At the very least, she had a chance to overthrow that poor excuse for a queen, Gianna. She bided her time over the years, gaining influence among some of the Delphina students. Her plans were coming to fruition. It wouldn’t be long until Gianna would know the wrath of Mother Nature. It might be slow, but everything is always accomplished at the end of the day.

Nature Manipulation

Nature can be unbearable at times. Whether it comes to her winds, her seas, her blazing heat, or the earth itself, she is disastrous to say the least. What does one do when confronted by such horrors that a beautiful thing possesses? What does one do when met by someone who is capable of manipulated mother nature herself? Nothing. No one can do nothing because escaping Florence’s wrath is like trying to escape Father Time. It’s simply unavoidable. The best thing for anyone to do is endure her harsh winds, her ground-breaking quakes, heats that rise as her anger does, and the seas that might rise with enough force behind it.

But of course, this is all assuming that Florence of the Sauveterre family has a full grasp upon her mighty powers. Truth is, she doesn’t even have half of what she’s capable of. Granted, Florence is able to create winds up to admirable speeds, but nowhere near gale force winds or hurricanes. She is able to create the rate at which heat increases in an area, but nowhere near the point of flares that will burn anything upon a single touch. She is able to manipulate the water that mother nature herself controls, but only to degrees. Truly, Florence Sauveterre is capable of many things. She has the ability to connect with plants that grow in surrounding forests, and call them to her side. A slew of sub-abilities are at her disposal, but only if she unlocks them. As it stands now, the one who arrogantly calls herself Mother Nature only has the ability to the basic of things that is within her disposal.

| Limitations |

There is no denying that Florence is strong, but she is not without her limits. In all her might, she still is suspect to not being able to last long if she uses her power in long durations. Physical exhaustion is the name of the game. Use a certain aspect of her powers too much, and she might as well call it quits. If she overexerts herself, she is suspect to draining her reserves quite rapidly. It’s a shame really because she has proved to be quite skilled at her power.

Emotions also play a key factor into her power. Usually, that would mean the more she feels, the more powerful she will be; however, this is not the case for her. It’s quite the opposite, really. Florence has to remain calm and calculating. Being able to plan the next move in important to her. As such, her powers represent themselves in such a way. If she remains calm, she can use her current capabilities to their fullest extent. Should she lose focus or get corrupted by her emotions, and she will suffer from it. Unstable her powers will be, and she will become unstable. That’s the true weakness to her power: emotional stability. Lose it, and she’s as good as dead.
