//DESCRIPTION:Chris is a beautiful teenage girl. She has long dark brown naturally curly hair. Her mocha skin is the color of creamed coffee. She has strong dark brown, nearly black eyes. Chris holds herself properly, straight and tall. Coupled with her demeanor she can come off as arrogant, someone who wont bend for the world but instead expects the world to bend for her. However this attitude is not completely accurate. Though if someone just judges by appearances they'll never look past her trendy yet thrifty clothes. Her impeccable makeup nor her artfully worn shoes.
"Don’t share the past, if you won’t share your heart"
Christine is the youngest of four children. She has three older siblings. She has two older brothers and one older sister. Her eldest sibling, Mark, is seven years older than her. Chris and her siblings were raised Catholic like their mother. They were baptized and christened. Devon is the only child who still practices. As far as Chris knows Mark is atheist and a firm disbeliever. And Whitney is a Holiday only observer now that she's moved out of the house. She only goes to church on the two major holidays. As for herself, Chris' agnostic. She doesn't have a problem with religion. She just doesn't believe in God or any other deities.
As a young girl growing up Chris was spoiled being the youngest. She was able to get away with most everything. Luckily for her parents she seemed to come pre-installed with a fierce sense of right and wrong. Even as a little girl she found it hard to lie or to deceive her family. A trait that made her older siblings very protective of her. And surprisingly the only thing that Chris has misused.
Chris' family never had much money. All the children were expected to get jobs when they were old enough. Chris' mother even took welfare money from both the church and state. Even with this extra income the Wilsons still struggled to make ends meet. As Chris grew older she had fewer and fewer friends. Being a black kid in an inner city school with a strong since of morality made it hard to make and keep friends.
Instead of letting the lack of friends crush her, Chris devolved a very strong sense of self. This self sufficiency propelled her through middle school and into high school. She excelled grade wise and even took up dance in her very scarce free time. Then she meet Lily. Lily Parkinson was the most beautiful girl, white or not, Chris had ever seen. Chris had always known she was different. She leaned towards the label of Bi-sexual but after seeing Lily Chris never could look at a guy the same way again.
Chris courted Lily and eventually the older girl agreed to date her. Despite Chris' immense happiness and satisfaction at the turn of events this was perhaps the worst thing to happen in her young life. Lily got Chris into alcohol and truancy. Chris' grades dropped from straight A's to D's across the board. Chris' parents had to intervene which caused Chris to run away from home.
The next few months Chris lived in and out of shelters and the street. Until the event occurred. Chris doesn't like to remember it but it was the first time her abilities manifested. And it happened in full view of Lily. Lily who panicked and called Chris a monster. Inebriation, fear and a lack of good judgement saw Chris tossed into jail on charges of assault against Lily and three other individuals. She was charged three days later with misdemeanor assault. Due to her minor status they ruled that Chris was to serve her sentence of six months under house arrest.
Chris never quite repaired her relationship with her parents even during her forced confinement. Not knowing what to do with their wayward daughter they enrolled her Mather Memorial High School for attendence after her house arrest was up.
▼ A B I L I T I E S / S K I L L S:
"It’s too much to discuss sober."
//ABILITIES:◼ STONE SKIN | When Chris transforms into stone she literally changes her skin into stone. This means her innards are still normal and not stone. When she talks about her ability she says she turns into stone, but that's not completely accurate.
◼ STONE MANIPULATION | Chris can take stone from existing statues or formations and add it to her body while she's in her Gargoyle form. She's able to dictate where it goes and what shape it will take.
◼ MORPHING CAPABILITIES | While stone Chris can add more stone onto herself and use that stone to change her appearance. This can happen either by adding stone items such as arms, wings, armaments, etc. Or by making the stone make her look like someone else.
Another way to think of it is that the new stone acts as a sort of second layer that she can manipulate at will within about a three to five foot radius (The radius is kind of malleable. EX: If she makes herself wings that can extend up to ten feet on each side she can maintain them even though they technically extend outside her radius. However in order to do so she'd have to sacrifice all her other additional stone to just concentrate on the wings.
◼ INCREASED STRENGTH | While in her Gargoyle form Chris' strength is increased. She hasn't tested her upper limits but it appears to be about twice the normal human capacity. She can lift cars and hit hard enough to crack concrete.
◼ INCREASED RESISTANCE TO INJURY | Chris can take a lot more damage than normal people while as Gargoyle. She's far more resistant to physical attacks and some magical attacks. However due to her squishy innards, anything that can pierce her stone skin is just as dangerous to her and normal humans. Also Chris doesn't have any healing factor. If she gets damaged, the damage remains even when she returns to her human form. She cannot use other stone to repair damage done. She can give the illusion it does (but it really doesn't do anything for her). EG: Chris loses an arm, she can make herself a new one, but when she drops the stone she still is missing an arm.
//SKILLS:◼ TBD | Test
//LIMITATIONS:◼ STONE MANIPULATION | Chris can only work within a certain radius (3-5 feet) without sacrificing stone for showing off. Also the more bulk she adds on the less maneuverable she will be.
◼ IMAGINATION | Chris' ability to manipulate stone is only limited by her imagination within her radius.
//WEAKNESSES:◼ STONE SKIN | Her innards are still normal and not stone. If there's an attack that can penetrate her stone skin it will do damage to her.
◼ HEALING AND INJURIES | Chris doesn't have any healing factor as Gargoyle. If she gets damaged, the damage remains even when she returns to her human form. She cannot use other stone to repair damage done. She can give the illusion it does (but it really doesn't do anything for her). EG: Chris loses an arm, she can make herself a new one, but when she drops the stone she still is missing an arm. And will most likely bleed to death unless she seeks immediate medical attention.
