[OOC] Heroes of Azure City 🎫 Always Open

[Shard]

@drewccapp
We always have more room, fam'.

@Pirouette
Thank you, that was a very detailed explanation.

@Goldmarble
Taking into account what Pirouette has already said, which is essentially exactly what I was going to say, I should also add that we already have a mutant who has an ability which grants them buffs and effects depending on external forces.

To give you a straight answer, the mutation you have in mind, while cool in its own rights, does not work for this setting. It's very Zelda: Majora's Mask, which might have been an inspiration. However, the ability does not work, I am afraid.

You are welcome to join the Discord for more hands-on communication with us, and me, about abilities.

@DarkRecon, I enjoy how you integrated Booke a bit into your post :3

Are you in the group Discord, by the way?

[Bea]

Same, I always enjoy a little mention if it's relevant :D

I got it!

[Perdoname]

I'm sorry for being so inactive, I've been busy with a lot. As of now, I'll begin reading on all accepted OCs and current IC posts before posting my starter for Doryuu Tatsuya. Everything looks as if it has been going so well, and I'm so excited about the many possibilities of what's to come!

[Moyai]

Had this idea for a villain to be used sometime later, as a side-character, kinda. Here is the CS for review.

Marionette

Basic Information

Name
Patrizia Binari

Vigilante Name
Marionette (as nicknamed by the media)

Age
17

Species
Mutant

Gender
Female

Ethnicity
Italo-American

Nationality
American

Occupation
Spoiled daughter.

Alignment
Chaotic Evil

Detailed Information

Appearance
It is impossible to not recognize Patrizia because of the drastic changes the mutation caused to her body, slowly taking away flesh and replacing it with synthetic materials. There seems to be a distinction between some softer and hard bits, but Patrizia’s body is not exactly hard, it is, however, steel cold. She never blinks and her expression is always somewhat vacant. Despite the nature of her body, she kept growing and looks like her age instead of when she first transformed.



Personality
The keyword of Patrizia’s personality is spoiled. She was a sickly child for half of her life and a disfigured mutant for the other, adding that to the early death of her mother, and the girl was never thought the meaning of the word no, always getting what she wanted and being extremely shielded from the world outside and it's common sense. She is very childish and will often refer to people trying to stop her as “mean”. If a person does not try to challenge her, she can be quite friendly, especially if they show interest in things she likes, she could be even described as easy to manipulate.

Being from an increasingly rich family, she likes luxury, and is often amazed by concepts of royalty and wealth (this shows in action with the ‘royal’ guard of dummies and the plastic throne she likes to sit in while using her powers.). That is however an exception to her personality, as she really likes natural and calm places, with an abundance of birds and plants, despite being a master of synthetic materials.

Origin
Born from a problematic pregnancy due to her mother’s illness (which would later turn fatal), Patrizia was a weak and sickly child, living with her father, the CEO of one of the many failing toy companies in the turn of the millennium. This did not stop him from pampering his daughter, hiring many tutors and showering her with gifts. He also would try to introduce her to other kids, but even in her tired form, she was a bit of a troublemaker, often throwing tantrums over minor things, and since she was weak, it was not uncommon for the other kids to bully her in retaliation.

Things took a new turn when she turned 12, as her body started to change, and not in the way most humans experience around that age. Synthetic materials started to substitute her skin, and it was clear to her father that she was a mutant, yet he feared to contact the government because he thought they would take her away. The power awakening and body shift also took away Patrizia’s sickness, she could now run and jump and was no longer bound to her bedroom. The first thing she did was to help her father’s company by using her plastic manipulation to sabotage many of the rival companies’ products while helping with the production of her father’s company. He did not like his daughter doing such things, but seeing her smile in so long made him falter.

With newfound vitality, however, Patrizia would soon replicate the tantrums of her childhood, this time however using her mutant powers. Her first crime was stealing a t-rex skull from a museum simply because she found it cool, unfortunately, a hero showed up and beat her back, recovering the fossil and forcing her to escape. It was from that moment Patrizia decided heroes were lame and mean and wanted to hog all the cool things for themselves, starting her path as a villain.

Notable Relations
-Marcello Binari
Her precious father.

Resources
Comes from a wealthy family, made wealthier by her actions. However, his father doesn’t really know much about mutant related items and has not contacted anyone that could help.

Everyday Skills
She is a superb pianist and is great at memorizing patterns, really good at video games, but only enjoys simple ones without stories.

Combat
Fighting Style
She does not fight herself, never being trained and using her powers to do all the fighting for her.

Strengths
All her strengths are limited to her power. Despite being a bit broken mind-wise, she is awfully crafty when it comes to developing answers to new threats.

Weaknesses
She is a small girl with no fighting training at all, if neutralized she is as helpless as some small kid. Her body alterations are merely aesthetic and do not provide her with extra strength or defense, she also has extremely low resistance to pain, panicking when she is hurt.

Equipment
Plastic dummies/mannequin that she crafts herself, notably more sturdy than the typical plastic she throws around. Two of those are dressed in royal attire and act as her last stand ‘royal guard’. She also has a plastic throne she keeps for style points.

Power

Plastic Manipulation
A very straightforward power, she can move plastic with her thoughts, bending and shaping it (but not changing its nature). She can do it to a wide range around her, provided there is nothing blocking the path (even a simple cardboard box blocks the power).

Strengths
Azure is a city full of plastic, as are most modern cities, as such, while in concept the power might sound pathetic, it becomes less so when toys, tables, chairs, and mannequins come to life to hunt you down whilst tornadoes of plastic bags and bottles block all the exits. Patrizia is also great at recognizing how to use her power to deal with a threat, using plastic that will melt into thick goo against fire powered heroes, clogging water pipes against a water one, spreading out projectiles against an agile one or focusing it all in one large ball against one of strength.

Weaknesses/Limitations
But in the end, it still lacks the firepower to make good out of the amazing area control she has. Her whole battle plan is not so much to knock out a hero, but to tire them until they make one mistake too many. Often being described as ‘victory by nuisance’. She cannot change the nature of plastic, meaning, for example, she can’t make vinyl out of plastic bottles. She can’t melt or fuse plastic herself but can shape plastic during its production.

Extra

• As twisted as her mindset is, she wants to beat heroes, but she does not desire to deal with them for good, meaning she doesn’t aim to kill anyone and, in fact, so far has not done any serious harm, just minor injuries.
• Whenever she defeats law enforcement or a hero, she likes to do it with style and humiliate them by making it look as if they were captured by little plastic toys.
• So far no one has linked the mutant to her real identity.

Origin
"You are the one responsible for the success in your life. There is no such thing as luck. Look out for opportunities so that you can make your mark." Those were the words that Richard's father spoke that made the most impact to his life. That inspired such ambition that he aggressively searched out for great opportunities.

When he met his first mutant in the United States, he learned he was a vigilante. Immediately, Richard began to think of ways to add value to such a niche group. Some service he could provide in exchange for money or other forms of valuables. When he asked the vigilante what was the thing he needed the most the response was “I just need a place where I can get away. Protect my family from this life. Think things through sometimes.” At this point he had already built a real estate empire across various parts of the world.

“Where would you like your base to be?” Those word the words that came out of Richard’s mouth at that time. Before long he had his first client who set up an underground base in Azure City with bare necessities. The vigilante lacked the funds to cover the project, so Richard traded with him for information on others out there and set up a five year contract to act as a information resource in exchange for the base.

Richard’s first experience with a villain would be terrifying for most, however, for Richard it was pretty exhilarating. He was taken hostage and being taken away to secure their escape. While the failure of his bodyguards was briefly frustrating, he took the opportunity to observe and learn what he could from the villain. Eventually, the opportunity came to sell his services. The villain likely would kill him if he didn’t provide some value to the man, so he decided to trade his life for the villain’s new secret base: a high-rise suite in a building owned by his company. Again, Richard lost money on his first deal, but he managed to survive the experience and gain a valuable contact on the “other side”.

Eventually, Empire would be known among the vigilante and villain communities as an excellent service to provide a confidential base of operations in exchange for money, information, or a service contract. He became so trusted among the community that eventually he added a service as a mediator for negotiations between groups or individuals in need of neutral ground.

At this point, Empire’s services are growing constantly with plans to add a costume creation and repair service. Work contracts from individuals looking to pay vigilantes for work was recently added as a service and is continuing to be refined. Confidentiality is king, and anyone that starts a fight on Empire grounds will be excommunicated from the community with all services reneged and any confidential information becoming available for purchase.

Notable Relations
🔹 Richard has a six year old daughter, Amelle, whom he cares for deeply. Since her mother has passed he has been putting forth more effort toward being a good father despite the challenges that come with being a business owner.

WHOO.
Looks like a load of fun, here's a character that too far too long to write up. Looking forward to blowing the rust off my RPing/writing skills.

Raisa Chau

Basic Information:

Name:
🔹 Raisa Chau (Rah-EE-sah)

Vigilante Name/Callsign:
🔹 Lightning

Age:
🔹 32

Species:
🔹 Mutant

Gender:
🔹 Female

Ethnicity:
🔹 Primarily Russian/Chinese

Nationality:
🔹 America

Occupation:
🔹 Is an officially registered private mutant specialist consultant (PMSC), the majority of her work is case-by-case contract jobs for the police, MSU and other government organizations.

Alignment:
🔹 Chaotic Good

Detailed Information:

Appearance:
🔹 Raisa is an average 5' 10" with a 'classic' medium build and well muscled. She has a short (1-2 inches) mop of dark, almost black, hair. Her eyes noticeably change color depending on her mood.

Color Details

Green is happy or other positive moods, yellow is annoyed, irritable or an otherwise agressive mood, orange is upset or angry, red is angry or enraged. Blue is melancholy, depression and other "down" moods. Purple is a mix of "down" moods and anger, typically feelings of frustration or helplessness. Pink is embarrassment or arousal. Pale colors denote mild moods and dark colors denote intense moods.

Raisa regularly wears punk, rock & metal band tee-shirts along with jeans, boots, leather jacket, fingerless gloves and a pair of aviator shades.

Personality:
🔹 Raisa is a bit of an aggressive workaholic. Her very forthright personality and distinct lack of patience for other people's bullshit quickly makes her as many friends as it does enemies.
🔹 The experimentation she suffered from at the hands of a Chinese black-op has left Raisa with trust issues towards government organizations. Working in the MSU for several years has helped to alleviate this, but she still has a strong preference for being an independent contractor, much to the consternation of higher-ups within the MSU who would very much like for Raisa to return the fold.

Origin:

Tell us your story

🔹 Raisa was born into a shabby district within one of China's bustling metropolises. Despite not having much, Raisa's early childhood was a peaceful and happy time. However, when she was 8, both of Raisa's parents were murdered in front of her during an armed robbery. A much worse fate would have awaited the young girl had a few members of a local street gang not been nearby. Having come to investigate after overhearing the commotion, they saw an opportunity to pick up a grateful new recruit and took it.

🔹 After being taken in by the street gang, Raisa learned the art of street life and how to do everything from panhandling to pickpocketing. Raisa would spend the next decade of her life as a petty street thief. It was during this time that her psychic powers began to develop. Knowing mutant powers would draw unwanted attention, Raisa did her best to keep her abilities hidden. Still, a little before she turned 18, she was found by Chinese Govt. agents who offered her amnesty for her crimes in exchange for her cooperation. Raisa reluctantly agreed and promptly disappeared into a completely off-the-books mutant super-soldier experimentation program.

🔹 The program in question was built to 'gift' mutants with new powers. The lucky ones quickly died on their first attempt. The less fortunate suffered from horrible physical transformations before dying or being put down weeks later. Those who had it worst of all would spend months in agony as their bodies rejected the process. For Raisa it was on her forth go-round after almost two years that her gifted powers finally stuck, in this case, baseline physical enhancement. Before they had a chance to move her to another facility, a highly explosive accident with another test subject gave her the opportunity to escape. Sneaking across the country, Raisa stowed away on a ship to Japan before dragging herself to the American Embassy and begging for asylum.

🔹 Once she made it the States, Raisa took a deal from the MSU getting an American citizenship, a proper education and any medical treatment needed for her unique situation in exchange for eight years of service in the MSU. Upon completing her end of the deal, Raisa left the MSU and got licenced as a PMSC. For the past four years, she's been doing contract work for the police, MSU and FBI. On occasion Raisa has also turned to vigilantism when the government organizations she works with haven't been able to get the job done.

Notable Relations:
🔹 Raisa has a laundry-list of contacts from the different organizations she's worked with as well as a couple of reporters. But beyond friendly small talk and professional working relationships, Raisa is a bit of an independent loner.

Resources:
🔹 Some. While Raisa is anything but rich, a highly frugal lifestyle has allowed her to build up a healthy savings.

Everyday Skills:
🔹 In spite of her mess of a childhood, Raisa is surprisingly well educated. While she was living on the street, she would steal textbooks and other educational material in order to learn new things. Once she made it into the States and got taken in by the MSU, Raisa dedicated her spare time learning, earning a GED through night classes plus some higher education.
🔹 Very streetwise from her time spent on the streets in her childhood. She's also quite good at misdirection and sleight of hand.
🔹 Obscene levels of pain tolerance from her time as test subject.
🔹 Standard adulting skills.
🔹 Is fluent (written & verbal) in both English and Mandarin.

Combat:

Fighting Style:
🔹 Between her powers and a mix of martial-arts training Raisa is a melee brawler who overwhelms her opponents with brute force.

Strengths:
🔹 With her powers Raisa can hit incredibly hard, allowing her to bring down opponents with a single good hit unless they have notably tough defenses (transmuted flesh, metal bones, exo-suit, etc.).

Weaknesses:
🔹 Range. While Raisa does have firearms training and reasonable skill with guns, She's just nowhere near as good in a gunfight as she is up close and personal.
🔹 Large/long drawn-out fights. Repeated strain on her psionic constructs without a chance to rest can wipe Raisa out mentally, leading to headaches and exhaustion, which is never good in a fight. This also includes high-durability opponents who require finesse over raw power to take down.

Equipment:
🔹 .22 magnum handgun with a small barrel extension
🔹 industrial swiss-army knife/multi-tool (switchblade, pliers/cutters, screwdriver, bottle opener, etc)
🔹 long barreled .44 magnum revolver
🔹 combat knife
🔹 full suit of all black tactical body armor
🔹 Both firearms are owned legally, and Raisa also has a concealed carry permit. She primarily carries the .22 and multi-tool, the .44, combat knife and body armor are only added to the mix when she's going into a fight.

Power

Strengths:
🔹 Raisa can create psychic constructs. When created, they are anchored to her or the space around her. Constructs anchored to her, move with her as she moves, constructs anchored to the space around her remain in the space that they were summoned unless psychically moved. The size and shape of the constructs can also be changed, though this takes a good bit more focus than just simply moving them.

🔹 The physical enhancements Raisa gained in the super soldier program has given her doubled strength, toughness and reaction speed/reflexes.

Weaknesses/Limitations:
🔹 Raisa's constructs have a soft six foot range limit. Once a construct gets more than six feet away from her, it looses strength and begins to dissipate, disappearing completely at nine feet. When her constructs are hit with force (bullets, explosions, a vehicle traveling at high speed, etc) it puts mental strain on Raisa, making it harder for her to maintain the construct, until it breaks. taking too much strain on her constructs will give her headache or migraine and exhaust her both mentally and physically.

🔹 Raisa's physical enhancements come at the cost of an absurdly aggressive metabolism, requiring her to eat about twice as much a normal person of her size and physique usually would.

Extra

🔹 Raisa's physical enhancements have given her an enhanced tolerance for alcohol.
🔹 The constructs can be translucent or opaque and match the color of her eyes. Her eyes also glow when shes using her powers.
🔹 The constructs have an appearance similar to Mass Effect's Biotics, though with a crackling electricity effect as opposed to a 'space warble'.

[Shard]

@FlappyTheSpybot

I generally decline dual mutations. Though, I can see your backstory warranting it well enough.

However, I am stretching the rules I set up quite a lot as is, with that. Tripled reaction speed and enhanced healing would have to go.

[FlappyTheSpybot]

Could the reflexes be reduced to double, putting them on par with the strength and toughness?

Healing factor removed.

EDIT:
Also willing to reduce the enhancement to 1.5x to keep the reaction speed.

[drewccapp]

@Bea Yes, I am Demavend in the discord.

[Shard]

@FlappyTheSpybot

You can lower reflexes to double.

My Hider

When as Nexus:

My Hider

Personality
🔹 Alan is a kind, soft-spoken individual with a strong sense of right and wrong and an equally strong dedication to his work. That said, he is not all "serious business" all the time and sometimes likes to slow down and savor the moment, and despite his morals, he is not naive enough to see the world in absolute terms of black and white, knowing that sometimes people do bad things believing it's their only option. However, those who take pleasure in committing horrible acts he has no sympathy and little mercy for them.

He has an above-average intelligence and likes to read frequently, both for enjoyment and to keep his mind sharp. Although he doesn't have too many friends, those he does have he is very loyal to and expects that same loyalty in return.

Origin
🔹 Alan's story is not exactly what one would call the happiest, but nor is it downright tragic. The correct term to use might be...complicated. You see, as a child, his father left him and his mother, forcing her to raise their son on her own. Alan never truly understood why they separated and whenever he asked, his mother would simply smile and pat him on the head while saying something along the lines of "we're just working through a few problems, dear. Don't worry, everything will be ok."

However, Alan wasn't dumb. He could tell at a glance that his mother was just trying to make him feel better. As such, he did all he could to make her happy. He worked hard in school and even took up washing dishes and sweeping the floor, among other things, to help when she came home from work, exhausted. However, even with a decent number of friends in school, and his mother's love, he sometimes felt a tinge of envy in his heart at seeing kids being raised by two parents instead of just one.

One of his escapes from the harshness of reality was in the many comics he had gotten his hands on through money acquired in small jobs. The adventures of people like Spiderman, Batman, Superman, etc, gave him courage when he needed it...and that fascination only grew the day he realized, oh yeah, there may actually be people out there with REAL superpowers.

Of course, he knew deep down being like his heroes was next to impossible as he didn't recall anyone in his family displaying incredible talents...but as they say, destiny works in mysterious ways...

It all started with his Mom being stricken with an illness that just got worse as time went on, to the point she actually ended up in the hospital where it turned out she had a tumor in her brain...and the surgery to remove it would cost an absurd amount of money. Needless to say, Alan was devastated and tried everything he could to gather the money but his efforts seemed doomed to fail...at least until he was out one night, drowning his sorrows at a pub when he was approached by a man in uniform.

The man talked of a job opportunity for people like Alan, to be part of an experiment to given humans superpowers and he would be paid handsomely for essentially being a glorified lab rat. Alan knew something like this was too good to be true...but remembering his dying mother gave him all the motivation he needed to accept.

A couple days later, he was taken to a secret facility where he and a number of other people were each given an isolated form of the meta-gene. The results were...unpleasant, to say the least. Many of the patients went mad in a matter of days and Alan himself was in excruciating pain as his very genetic code was rewritten, and something in him...fractured.

When he overheard the people involved wanting to turn their patients into weapons of war...Alan lost it. He tapped into his new power and broke free, tearing the facility to shreds with his new Transmutation power. It was only when the place was in ruins and he heard people screaming for help he came back to his senses and used that same power to help.

The scientists involved would soon be arrested and the patients would get the care they needed...but Alan would never be the same. He returned to his Mom's side and waited for the inevitable...at least until he heard the voice in his head saying he could save her if he truly wanted to. Tapping into his gift once more, he slowly and carefully removed every trace of the tumor, saving her life.

His Mom was beyond shocked and even a little outraged by Alan's story, but the fact he did what he did to save her life was enough to squash any negative feelings. The only question was...what now?

The pair eventually found out about Azure City and decided Alan could do a lot of good there and they had even gotten a tip that a man matching his father's description had been sighted around those parts. It was a long shot, sure, but Alan would take it if it meant he could get the chance to sock his deadbeat father in the face.

As such, the pair packed their things and moved to Azure City, and this is where our hero's story truly begins...

Notable Relations
🔹 His Mom

Locus: The persona that lives in Alan's head and only he can see except for special situations. Is technically his "partner" and although it does genuinely care about Alan and his needs, it's willing to take a more ruthless, pragmatic approach in its desire to protect him.

Resources
🔹 Short Answer? Quite wealthy due to his power BUT kept a secret and under the guise of having enough to get by.

Everyday Skills
🔹 Crafting: Considering what his power is, this is actually rather fitting as a skill. Although he's no expert, he has a fair amount of skill in things like woodworking and knitting, and has even made a small profit by selling a number of his handcrafted items.

Cooking/Baking: Another skill he's picked up and one he quite enjoys. Is surprisingly useful too as it lets him keep a supply of treats on hand to fuel up in an emergency.

Combat

Fighting Style
🔹 Alan doesn't have any real fighting style, preferring to let his powers do the heavy lifting at a range and throwing some surprisingly nasty punches, kicks and headbutts when someone gets too close.

Strengths
🔹 Alan's power is both potent and highly versatile which, when combined with his intelligence, allows him to be adaptable to most situations.

Weaknesses
🔹 Alan is more of a long-range fighter than someone who likes getting up close and personal. As such, people who can get in close tend to have an easier time landing attacks on him.

Alan is not a disciplined fighter and what experience he has tends to come either from being self-taught or from being out on the field.

Equipment
🔹 Wallet: Just a normal wallet with everything you expect a wallet to have, though he does keep a photo of him, his Mom and his Dad from one of the last Christmases they had together.

Cellphone: His Mom insists on him carrying this at all times so she can stay in touch.

Power

Strengths
🔹 Alan's gift is the potent power of Transmutation. With it, he can affect both organic AND inorganic matter by rearranging its molecular structure. As one can imagine, such a power has many uses including freely altering his form, turning weapons into toys, morphing lead into gold, turning the bullets and shrapnel in one's body into fresh organic tissue, and whatever else he can think of. When in use, his power takes the form of some manner of psionic energy that manifests around his hands and then either gets shot forth as a beam or released in a wave around him.

Weaknesses/Limitations
🔹 Despite the power and versatility of his gift, excessive use without rest causes Alan's fatigue to settle in faster, to the point he can even collapse from exhaustion and other negative ailments can rear their heads. As such, he keeps candy bars and sweets on him to restore energy when he needs it.

Also, Alan has more difficulty with affecting organic matter directly meaning he can't just turn a person's internal organs into barbed wire on a whim, nor does he want to. Also, though inorganic changes are permanent, organic changes are not.

Has a limited range at which his powers is effective with his beams starting to fizzle out after being fired the length of the average football field and his field only extending up to thirty feet from him.

Extra

🔹 His other persona "Locus" can appear to him in many different forms. Whether this an effect of Alan's mind, or a side effect of his powers he has yet to figure out.

If it comes down to a choice between catching the villain or saving people's lives and he can only do one, he WILL choose the latter, regardless of the consequences.

Char. sheet edited. Anything else need work, or am I good to go?

[nichinichisou]

harnessed my inner techwear nerd for this one

faia

Name: Faia Annie Barre

Age: 25

Vigilante Name: Whatever the people like to call her.

Ethnicity: Mixed (African and Caucasian)

Nationality: American

Occupation: Model/Vigilante

Appearance; 5'9" / 173 cm // 115 lb / 52 kg

Her hair is her signature feature. When let down, a mass of dark curls frames her doll-like face. The light-brown color becomes much more apparent when light shines on it. Her figure is muscular and fit. She has freckles all over her nose and cheeks, some appearing on her forehead. When in public as... herself, her fashion sense consists of mainly Cav Empt clothing (esentially japanese streetwear), due in part to the fact that she’s been saying “fuck it” recently.

Personality: Dependent on who she's with.

When around business partners or her parents, she's expressionless. Polite whenever the situation calls for it, but otherwise completely apathetic and obedient. She learned from a young age that that was what her parents liked, and apparently it was also what the businesses liked. With her fans, she tends to put on this fake persona to make her like the other models that she shared the same audience with. If you asked her, she'd say it exhausts her.

Faia, with friends (although she hasn't had one in a long while), is more sarcastic and direct. She loves joking with them, a trait normally unseen from her. Most of the time, her jokes are made at her own expense. She is a kind and caring person, who shows patience with those she considers her friends. She’s never afraid to show them that she cares about them, and feels guilty whenever she inevitably ghosts them for hours on end. She doesn’t like keeping such big secrets from them (like the fact that she’s a mutant and a vigilante), but she feels like she has to.

As a vigilante, she is mute. She never talks to avoid recognition. She uses hand gestures and an incredibly expressive face (despite her mouth being covered) to communicate with others. At first, she only started fighting villains to vent anger and dissociate herself. Soon after she started, she changed into someone who enjoys stopping criminals and saving people. She refuses to kill, opting instead to severely damage them. If they fall unconscious, she publicly humiliates them in some creative way. Because she often works at night, the villains can be found in the morning in an embarrassing position for everyone to see. This is the way that people know “she” was responsible for stopping an incident.

Biography; All her life, she's been unable to express herself. Forced by parents to obey for their own sake. Her mother and father wanted to appear as the perfect family and that was impossible unless Faia was impassive and apathetic, only becoming polite when spoken to. When she was like this, she was rewarded with everything she wanted-- kind of. Her parents had to approve of it. So no, she didn't get the things she wanted. She didn't even get things that she liked. All she got were things that made the family look better. For instance, Faia would look "smarter" to all of her parents' "friends" if she knew how to play an instrument. Her parents made her learn the guitar (thankfully, she enjoyed it). She also needed to study and get good grades. Again, this was because of her parents. The only class she truly enjoyed was science.

This would follow her for most of her life, including the part where her parents made her become a model. They essentially paid their way into the industry, but after Faia was seen to be good at it, she quickly became popular and amassed a following. Not that she enjoyed any of it. Now she had to cater not only to her parents, but to her fans (who don't even know she's a mutant; more secrets her parents withheld from the public) as well. Being forced to buy clothes that you don't like simply because that's the safe option that keeps the money flowing and keeps your parents from hating you wasn't the most enjoyable experience by any means.

Although she had to disguise her true self in public, that didn't mean that she didn't express herself in private. She would often sneak out of her house just to practice with her power. Using her knowledge of science and how acceleration and g forces work, she would spend her time calculating what speed she needed to get to and how fast she needed to do it to make limitations for herself. She then tried to break these limitations, the experiments only stopping when she felt she would pass out. Even with this, she was still unable to find out everything about it.

Her tendency to go all-out with self expression in private continued into adulthood, especially when she moved out. Now living by herself, she could really buy anything she wanted. Instantly starting to buy clothes that she thought actually fit her, she knew she couldn't wear these out in public normally. So she spent a lot of time thinking-- what could she do to make it so that she could go finally break out of her shell in public?

Her idea was to stay low with it. During the day, she would go out as normal. During the night, she'd leave her house and go out with new clothes. Clothes that made it hard to recognize her. She also came up with the idea of fighting villains. Not for the specific purpose of "keeping the streets clean," but rather to further distance herself from the person she was forced to be. This crime-fighting hero didn't reveal their name, that would increase the chances of people finding out it was her. Thanks to her efforts, they never did.

Someone might.

Notable relations;
Her tight friend group of 4 people (including her). The only people that actually know her, but they don't know about her mutation or alter ego. Their mames are Will, Elise, and Alice.



Resources; loaded as fuuuuck. She has to, to dress the way she does.

Everyday skills; playing guitar

Fighting style
She picked up boxing shortly after moving out, mainly to spite her parents. Her trainer taught her the peek-a-boo style, one that consists of slipping punches, bobbing, weaving, generating power by moving head left and right & shifting weight from one leg to the other, which leads to more explosive punches. She can use her mutant power to rotate faster with her punches, gain more momentum, and in general abuse the fact that it makes her fighting style much more explosive.

Strengths
Closing distance
Messing up the opponent's rhythm
Avoiding damage by protecting chin and changing angles
Frustrating the opponent
Counter-attacking
Combining punches
Is incredibly persistent in a fight
Her punches are very quick

Weaknesses
Low range.
Is much worse with using legs to fight.
If she doesn't react to a hit in time, she can lose her guard easily.
Her fighting style is weaker against opponents with less range.
A single punch from her doesn't do much, she needs to have the opportunity to get several in.
She never kills anyone.
Building up speed to hit someone could result in her hitting them too hard, meaning her hand would probably end up out of commission for a while.
Very weak vs kick based fighters.

Equipment
When in "vigilante mode," she wears a featherweight windbreaker with several pockets in it for storage. She also wears a pair of tapered, drop-crotch cargo trousers. Her shoes are always cool grey Acronym Presto Mids. Her protective gear consists of black carbon fiber protective-knuckle gloves, soccer shin-guards, and arm guards. Finally, over top of everything is a black AAE vest that covers her mouth and a black dad cap with a pixel rainbow on the front which has a space in the back for her ponytail.

Power; projects a repulsive force from hands and feet

Strengths; can be used to slide across surfaces by lightly repelling self away from the surface. Think of it as skating, but without needing skates
Can propel the user forwards, backwards, side to side, and rotate
The amount of speed the user gains is theoretically unlimited
As a result of her constant experiments, she can withstand the effects of g forces longer than others. _{the amount of speed and rate of acceleration required for this to matter is a lot, and is generally unrealistic}

weaknesses;
Can crash easily if control is lost
Is not immune to being damaged by it
She can't change her velocity (accelerate, decelerate, turn, etc) too fast, unless she wants to pass out or die
She doesn't know the full capabilities of it yet as she is only thinking about it one way. As a result, she has no idea how to use it in combat besides building up speed behind her attacks.
Short dashes aren’t as controlled as they would seem

extra; her name is a combination of the Samoan words for "express" and "self"
