Name: "Saphire"
Age: 19
Gender: female
Ability: Saphire is able to project a field of mental interference around her, allowing her to create illusions, create certain moods, and make small changes in people's attittude, which, while useless in combat, can easily make her well-liked and can manipulate others. She can also dominate lesser minds, such as those of insects, with sufficient exposure, turning them into her permanent servants. Dominated creatures exert the same energy field as Saphire does, and are permanently linked to Saphire, allowing her to use them to increase her range beyond a meter or two. The fields can overlap, which increases her power, meaning that the more minds she dominates and gets in a single area, the more powerful she can become. However, any damage inflicted upon a dominated creature translates into psychic pain for Saphire due to the same mental link that allows Saphire to control them, and see through their eyes. In sufficient quantities, this mental pain could potentially kill her.
Appearance:
Personality: Saphire is a great actress, easily hiding her true feelings to convince those around her that she is something she isn't. She's manipulative and sneaky. She'll take what she wants by any means necessary, and use anyone she has to to get it. She's suspicious of others, believing that nobody can be trusted and allowing nobody to get too close.
Bio: Saphire grew up in rural America, in a highly religious area. Her village was full of devout believers, rejecting modern science in the favor of their faith. Saphire and her little sister never spoke, as both shared the power of mental connection. They created fantastic worlds in their imagination, always playing together, and refused to be moved outside of one another's psychic range. Eventually, Saphire learned to create small illusions, and wanted to show this off to their parents, as she'd never managed to do something like that before. However, her parents, rejecting the concept of mutants, instead believed that Saphire had, in fact, been demonically possessed, and was showing powers she was not meant to have.
Her parents tried everything on Saphire. Excorcism, re-baptism, forced prayer, beatings, nothing worked. They were desperate, attempting to drive the demon out of their child with brute force, beating Saphire half to death in the process. Saphire now remembers little of those days, her mind blocking out the memories for her. However, her back is still covered in scars that she will let nobody see. What she does remember is when her parents tried to bring back their child with kindness. At the end, when their parents were thinking of resorting to beating once more, Saphire had desperately tried to convince her parents not to do it. And while doing so, she told them of how little Alice could speak in her mind as well......
The beatings were too much for Alice. She died, and her parents were arrested. Saphire would have gone to an orphanage, however, her powers were discovered when a cop tried to push her into the van, and she filled his mind with her own pain. She was sent off to the enclosure for mutants, another prison, if a gilded one. To Saphire, it was simply more people who could never see herself as a human being. Of course, she herself wasn't sure if she would ever be able to either, after having her demonism beaten into her so badly.
