[CHAR] New Haven: Sanctuary (Closed)

[Kokushi]

Name: Alanis Cosette Age: 20 Origin: Tours, France Mutant: Yes Gender: Female Appearance: Alanis is around 5 '10' and weighing around 175 lbs, with long blue hair, pale complexion, and deep emerald eyes. Still wearing the remains of the luxurious blueish white robes she wore the day she left her home in Tours, along a rope belt to keep her valuables on her. She wears Black baker Eternity Boots, her Bow and Arrow across her back, with the string and arrows hanging by the quiver by her side for fast access. Buried beneath her remaining robes is a hip holster for her pistol and In her boot is her knife. History: Coming from the city of Tours, Alanis was the sole heir of an aristocratic family that could stretch their lineage back to the French Revolution. Her father is very high in the social ladder of France and even has some political pull in the current government while her mother took to raising the young girl. Her mother was a very soft-spoken but spirited woman who raised her with a kind heart and a strong sense of common morality. Even when struck by the Paige Disease at her teen years her mother kept her new ability a secret from her father, fully knowing Alanis would be disowned if he found out. Sadly one day even the brave efforts of her mother couldn't hide her ability, and sure enough as she feared Alanis's cold father tossed her out of the only home she ever knew. As for her mother the last she heard was being forced into a divorce and sentenced to jail for an unknown number of years. Driven wild in rage Alanis almost went through killing her father, but the begging of her mother sparred him from a horrible death. Alanis's mother's last word's to her as she escaped Tours was "Living well is the best revenge my daughter, I'm proud of you." With those, and her hope has lead here to far away America, in the city of New Haven, California in hopes she will be able to live a normal life away from the discrimination she now endures. Do to the transportation systems being rather unreliable, Alanis ended up spending some time in various parts of California before she finally managed to make it there on foot, spending a rather extended period of time walking there. Having moved from place to place for a long time, the walk didn't seem to be too much for her. At least, the was until she finally reached the last leg of her journey for the city that she hoped would provide her with a new beginning. Gift/Power: Alanis has the talent of control Metallic object around her, bending anything to her will. She can only control that element though so if not in a place where metal is readily available she will not be able to use her power. Also she has a high metal count in her blood, meaning if there is enough blood freely from her or a amount of people she can manipulate the blood into solid red materials. Fear/Curse/Sickness: Steel Cocoon = When she goes beyond her mental limit to control the metallic objects around her, Alanis soon has immediate flashes in her mind of the day when her father threw her out and disowned her. That sense of loss and pain drives Alanis's consciousness to grab any metallic object nearby, sending the inanimate objects circling around her with increasing speed. Soon, if not stopped, Alanis will encase herself in a metal cocoon,and the Cocoon will fall to the earth to remain there until Alanis regains control of herself. If she doesn't regain control of herself soon there is a real danger that she could suffocate if she doesn't free herself or outside help forces the cocoon open. Once freed Alanis will lapse into a deep slumber and a slight fever, of which in a day or so she will recover, yet the experience would drain her emotionally and physically. Personality: Alanis is often a soft spoken girl and very shy. When alone, she tends to stay away from dark areas and other people, but if someone tries to approach her, she usually turns and runs. When it comes to her friends, she speaks often and tries her best to help them, as she is also a very caring person and hates to see people suffer unnecessarily. Even if she does not know the person, more often than not she will run to someone's aid if she sees them getting hurt and when she is mad, you better watch out, it's not pretty for the person or the surrounding buildings. Items: She has her mother's bow and arrow, a 3 1-2 inch trench spike which was an old family relic, and her 9mm pistol. Also of note is the locket around her neck, which she never talks about. Theme: Seether - Fine Again = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrpcICY2TVY Picture: Other: She can speak Prefect French and English as part of her upbringing. While she can use the 9mm pistol in self defense she is no marksman, but with her archery talent she can be very deadly. She also loves growing gardens where she can, as she loves to see new life grow wherever it may be. She hates Hospitals though as it reminds her of some very dark times

Name: Raphael Dufour Age: 20 Origin: Florence, Italy Mutant: Yes Gender: Male Appearance: A skinny and sickly looking boy since he was born, Raphael stands at a fairly tall height of about 6 ‘1’ with striking white colored hair. As he grew older, Raph was determined to try and protect his twin Alanis. Throughout the years his body became a lean and muscular as he practiced several martial pursuits such as horsemanship, swordsmanship, lacrosse, and even scuba diving. Around his slim neck is a long white scarf that always seems to be fluttering in the wind, even when a breeze cannot be felt by anyone else in the area. Raph is usually seen wearing a tight fit black jacket with matching color pants and even black boots. All of this black attire is in stark contrast to Raph’s pale white skin. Hanging at his side is a Han Solo like belt with a scabbard fit for the sword he carries around. History: When Raphael was born, he was the fraternal twin of a female named Alanis, but was separated from his sister upon birth. His father, a rather wealthy man, noticed that something was not right about is son. Fearing it to be an indication of a future outbreak of the Paige disease (Which it was), his father immediately told the doctors that they did not want the boy, only the girl, and that the boy should be put up for adoption immediately, should he survive. Though the doctors were curious as to why the man did not want the son, they did as they were instructed and put the baby up for adoption once it was able to leave the hospital. Around his second birthday, Raphael was adopted by a young couple that also happened to have the paige disease, though their powers were only minor ones; they where able to live comfortably with their powers. He grew up in a loving home where it became apparent why exactly he has been left at the hospital and sent to an orphanage that housed child mutants. Every time Raphael got angry, it seemed that the wind would begin to pick up, which would scare him to the point that he was no longer angry. When he was fifteen the Paige disease finally did hit Raphael like a ton of bricks. He went through the phases but since his adopted parents went through it as well they where able to help the young boy themselves instead of actually taking him to the local hospital. He recovered fairly well considering the fact he died, but to his parents they where just glad he survived the ordeal. After a few months they told him about what he had become, knowing it was right to at least let him know what was to come. By his sixteenth birthday, he could manipulate the air to do what he wanted, whether it be to pick things up or slice things in half. He usually only used his power to help his adoptive mother with dinner, often using it to chop up food in a single blast. He never questioned himself on whether or not his powers were normal because he grew up using them and not suffering the taunts of others. On his seventeenth birthday, his adoptive parents told him about his biological family, how he had a sister and exactly why his father turned him away despite his mother wanting to keep him. His mom gave him a small locket that had a recent picture of his sister in it, and told him that they had kept in contact with his real mom this entire time. Raphael was both angry and saddened by the news, but decided that he was going to search for his sister in the last place he was told she was, California. On his Journey, he ended up running into some police officers that worked in New Haven and decided that he would help them. He figured he would need a job anyway and what better way to find his sister than to work with the PD? Gift/Power: Manipulate Air Fear/Curse/Sickness: When Raphael becomes enraged; the air around him starts to form into a tornado, destroying everything and everyone in its path. Depending on how angered he is, he can manipulate the tornado enough to just go after the very thing that had caused him to go into a fit of rage, but unless he Is calmed down, the tornado will not stop until everything around it is reduced to a pile of rubble. His fear used to be afraid of harming other's, mostly his adopted parents. But since living with two parents who where mutants as well the Paige disease was relatively NOT an issue ... until he found out about his sister and began to worry about her, causing the Paige to infect that fear. Now Raphael’s biggest fear is that something will happen to his sister, causing him to lose the only real family he has left. When that fear settles in, he seems to become an empty shell of his former self, his usual self in a hibernation mode. While like this, he will go on a rampage of his own, hunting down whoever harmed his sister and killing/harming, anyone who gets in his way. The only way to snap him out of his stupor is to have Alanis assure him that she is ok, or for someone to prove to him that his sister is alive and will recover from whatever injury she has sustained. Items: Raphael only carries two weapons with him, A .380 Bursa thunder plus and a bastard sword that he carries on his back by a chest strap. Theme: Avenged Sevenfold - Buried Alive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PRfDJQY_Y8&ob=av2e Picture: Other: Raphael is Alanis’s Fraternal Twin brother and he absolutely despises their father for abandoning him when he was an infant and for kicking Alanis out just because she contracted the Paige disease.

THIS CHARACTER BELONGS TO 'the juggernaut' Alias:Red Giant Name: Sol Carter Age: 29 Origin: United states, New Hampshire Mutant: Yes Gender: Male Appearance: A once lean figured and thin man, Sol’s physical appearance changed after the Paige brought him back to life. When Sol is seen nowadays, most people cannot believe he used to once don a lab coat. Now though, with any thought of academic pursuit behind him, he dons a very different set of attire. Due to him honing his newly formed figure, Sol is now built like a cage fighter you would see on some MMA listings. His long brown hair is now topped off in a red bandanna, with a ponytail going down his broad back. Across his muscle-ridden chest is a custom made red vest that exposes his open chest as if in defiance to the world. Also standing out is the strange belt he wears around his waist with the word FREE written across the belt buckle. Instead of the usual jeans you’d expect to see in the United States, he actually wears white leggings with brown straps wrapped around his knees, going all the way down to his strange red boots. History: Being gifted at a young age to excel in the academics, Sol was one of the leading minds in examining the new Paige virus that had begun to affect the world. As the hours seem to lapse with no real progress made, Sol began to lose focus and became frustrated with this obstacle. It was then that he found solace with another scientist from China known as, Sheila. Together Sheila and Sol tackled their experiments with renewed determination. Where Sol became angered and bitter as the difficulties mounted, Sheila helped him through his frustrations and helped him focus, which seemed to help the scientific community make some inroads. As they worked together Sol and Sheila became close and they soon realized that they cared about each other more than just mere friends and colleagues. Sol’s life seemed to be heading for a high point as he began to love someone who cared about him as she did him, and if they could cure the Paige he would be remembered in the history books. Sadly, despite their determined efforts, the Paige proved more difficult to understand than both Sol and Sheila could have comprehended. Sol, in a last ditch effort to try and utilize a potential cure that was yet untested, infected himself with the Paige. Sheila, knowing his intentions, infected herself as well without telling Sol until he was administering the supposed cure to himself. Angered at first, Sheila told him that she did not want to live a life without him. Sol looked on his love in shock and shook his head in disbelief at her naive act, but nothing could be done at that point except test out the vaccine on both of them. A couple of hours after infecting themselves in the name of science, they were both bedridden and quarantined by their colleagues who observed them and analyzed their decaying bodies. As the contamination entered it’s final stages, Sol and Sheila reached out and grasped each other’s hands as they left this world together. Sol woke up a few hours later, but Shelia did not. The vaccine failed. To the new mutant, it may as well of meant his death in seeing Sheila lifeless husk be carried away in a bodybag. Since then, Sol has lost all care about researching the Paige and took to just surviving with his condition and his newfound power. As time went on he became more bitter to all those around him, lashing out at family and friends who tried to comfort him. He shut them all out, and would care less if the world ended. However, when the broadcast from New Haven, California reached his ears, something pulled at Sol to go there. He couldn’t understand why, but he felt drawn to this new hope for mutants, even if he felt it was all in vain. Gift/Power: Sol has the ability to manipulate fire, and in turn, the heat that fire can cause. When manipulating fire itself, he must focus solely on what he is doing to prevent any potential issues that can arise when flame becomes out of control. Due to this ever present danger, he prefers to channel his ability through metal weapons such as blades and metal pole arms. In doing so, the metal becomes superheated and can slice through most things like butter. The only downside to this is that the weapon may quickly become warped, unable to withstand the heat being passed through it. This forces him to have to find a change of weapons whenever possible. Fear/Curse/Sickness: After the loss of Sheila, Sol soon found that whenever he got close to someone, the nagging fear of loss would constantly be there. Due to the ever present worry that he would lose someone, he inevitably tried his hardest to not let anyone close to him, but that did not always work. He found that when those he considered friends were either harmed or in some situations, killed, his mind would bring him back to when he lost the love of his life. The remembrance of the death of Sheila sends him into a blind rage, causing all concentration and self control to be lost. His reaction to what occurs differs on what it is he is doing. If he happens to be wielding one of him metallic weapons, he seems to go on a blind rampage, killing everyone and destroying anything that gets in his way until the weapon is of no use to him. Should he be working with his ability to manipulate fire, his concentration is lost and the fire he once had under his thumb begins to consume everything in its path until someone is able either calm him or knock him out. If one is to try to calm Sol, he needs to be reassured that the one he was worried about is indeed ok. Should that reassurance not be readily available, one would need to be able to find a way to knock him unconscious to stop his rampage. Personality: Sullen and unrefined, Sol only speaks to others when absolutely necessary. This is reflected in everything he does, and his fighting moves, while rough and unpolished, are executed with absolute precision. He is known to be rude and impatient towards those who wish to interact with him, whether they are friend or foe. He is also quite stubborn when he is in pursuit of a goal or when he decides to take action regarding certain matters, never allowing the opinions of others to dissuade him once he's made up his mind. Overall, Sol is not a friendly man, but he is not an inherently evil one neither. He is an individual who prefers to convey his intent through actions than words. And while he cynically mocks those who speak of "justice", he has demonstrated a staunch sense of righteousness. Items: Sol normally carries large random chunks of metal of many different sizes but normally has up to 4 pieces at any time. He has been trying to find the money to get a weapon crafted of a high heat resistant metal so he can have a permanent weapon to rely on. But he does however carry a firearm, a 1887 model shotgun, he finds guns to be a coward's weapon which can be a fault but mostly just carries it for the option to use it.

Face view

Other: Sol has got a few habits about him he never had as a scientist, one being smoking. It was at first to cope with the stress but now just habit, since his system keeps him healthy it doesn't really affect his health. Another habit that he started after his transition from the Paige disease was drinking. Much like anyone else, he likes to have a cold tall glass of beer, but he would not drink for flavor, he drank to forget. Do to the transition, he soon found out that his body would metabolize the alcohol faster than he could drink it, leaving him unable to become drunk any longer than 10 or so minutes.

[Kushluk Shimazu]

Name: Kushluk Von Raynor Alias: Horizon Age: Twenty-three years old Origin: Abilene, Texas, USA Mutant: Yes Gender: Male Appearance: Bio: Baby blue eyes and brown messed hair that is in stark contrast to his firm build and fierce personality. Prefers to be known simply as Kush by those who know him. Totals at around 240 lbs and 6 feet tall with tanned skin. Wears sage-colored steeled toed boots, weathered denim pants with a brown leather belt, and any earth-colored shirt he can find. Since his home was a bit warmer than New Haven he can be often found wearing a dark green trench jacket his father gave him after his tour in the military. History: The oldest of three children, this young man joined the military in hopes to leave the State of Texas and make a difference in the world. Sadly for him he was not the brightest of his class nor was he the strongest, as such it was very hard for him to stand out among his peers. This did not deter the young soldier though as he fought long and hard, earning him a reputation as a very determined individual. After many months of grueling boredom in the States he was given training in preparation to deploy overseas, of which Kush had fought so long to achieve. During the deployment to a number of classified missions though he was struck with the Paige, and when recovered he was able to utilize his talents for what he thought was the betterment of his country. Yet something happened that made the young man disillusioned and lose the respect of his superiors, which led to a number of incidents where he officially disobeyed orders. In a strange turn of events Kushluk and the squad he assigned to at the time where all given a general discharge with little or nothing to show for their five years in the Armed Forces. In his travels from Texas to California he had come across his old handler from the military, Lieutenant Rebecca Ann Stillwater who was in dire straits. Being who he was Kushluk got her out of a tight spot and the two have been together since. It’s not all buddy chatting though as Rebecca is a pain in the ass and sometimes it’s a wonder that Kushluk only Drinks. Gift: Gravity Hole: This ability allows Kushluk to change the Force of G’s in a select area or around him, though many varying factors play as to the effect it can cause. What is agreed on by officials who documented his powers is that the air affected will ‘shift’ in a way noticeable as it swirls in the direction the gravity flows, meaning Kushluk could allow the gravity to increase or decrease in many strange and creative ways. This could mean a wide variety of things, from collapsing objects, to allowing brief periods of weightlessness, pulling objects toward him, and even forcing the gravity to either side. While most junior scientists joke as it being an advanced form of Telekinesis, experts know otherwise. They fear that if the power was ever aloud to grow or spin out of control they could be looking at a disaster in the making. Fear: Unbeatable foe: Someone or something ‘becomes’ the unstoppable specter that he fears, of which nothing seems to harm or deter it. If it was a person before hand he or she physically darkens and morphs into a shadowy shade of their former self, and this ominous form is single-minded and relentless in chasing Kush to the ends of the earth once it forms. Whatever or whoever it is comes only for Kush but will not hesitate to slay any in it’s path. Only Kush can stop the fiend and only if he either passes out from fear or regains control of himself at which point the shadowy shade will disperse while the person or object it infected will return to normal. In a brief memoir he tells a comrade, “It’s like pure freakish brute strength coming for you alone, and it doesn't matter how hard you seem to try they never stop hunting you. It never stops coming for you till you are dead on the cold floor while it laughs as it beats your lifeless corpse into a pulp. I can’t count how many times it’s happened to me, except when I open my eyes I’m perfectly fine except everyone around me looks at me wondering what the hell just happened. It’s like a nightmare but then It’s not … Crazy huh?” Personality: Having been a soldier in the US military who was raised with a good rough moral code, Kush isn’t afraid to rashly leap into fight to help someone who can’t defend themselves. While not religious he respects people’s beliefs but goes by his own code of ethics that many consider simple but practical. Also of note is that he hates oppressive authority without cause but that being said he respects those in power until they prove their incompetence. While he is blunt in speech and may not mean harm it can come across that way but nevertheless he is always going to speak his mind, even if it’s a grim topic. Though considered by many to be hedonistic with a devil-may-care attitude he is open and friendly to almost everyone he meets so most people get along well with him, yet his laid back nature has led his peers to call him lazy or aloof as well. During times of crisis he adopts a military mindset and will not hesitate to taking charge, so he understandably comes across as a bit of prick in this case. Still his intentions are good in the long run and when he plans things out MOST of the time they make sense … unless he’s drunk. Be careful when he decides it’s time for a drink, as he can’t handle his liquor very well if he drinks heavily and thus he will become probably either the funniest or foulest person you ever have seen. He goes from either not giving a damn to being merry and funny to overly depressed and foul-mouthed depending on his mood and reason for drinking. Known when even slightly buzzed to dance and sing without a care in the world, but he is most notorious for making up random marching tunes with strange lyrics involving people or things around him. Items: A blackened steel Leatherman knife in his pant’s pocket, his dog tags around his neck by a black shoelace, and a small flashlight along with a red laser pointer that is on his key chain. He drives a small blue Ford Ranger Truck that has seen better days but is surprisingly durable. Theme: Matchbox Twenty - How Far We've Come = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxAGGyrvJ9c Picture: Other:: In a fight he is a skilled marksman with most if not all-conventional weapons, and he is more than willing to cause his fair share of damage up close with a combination of his powers, his fists, or whatever else he has. As a former soldier who trained with his powers extensively, he is a very experienced and tough individual.

[Razzx44]

Name: Kori (means 'Ice') Villega (means 'Hidden Village') Alias: Dry Ice Age: 17 Origin: London, Great Britain Mutant: Yes Gender: Male Appearance: Kori has white, grayish hair that goes a little past his chin. He has bright blue eyes. His cream colored skin has few flaws, excepted for a small scar that goes across his right cheek bone. He wears a white lab coat for work around the hospitals, and he wears a blood red lab coat with a white cross that goes all the way across it, top to bottom. He wears that for when he is working at the White Cross. However when he is not working, he wears a long black sleeve-less button up coat that goes down to knees with a sleeve-less white shirt underneath. Matching black slacks, fingerless gloves that come to his elbows that are made out of the same material as the jacket and some nice (also) black shoes complete the outfit. When Kori switches to Len the irises in his eyes turn a silver color that can almost be classified as white. History: Kori was claimed to be a genius since he was little. He graduated college with masters’ degrees in medical science and business at 14. At 15 he then owned a whole chain of hospitals. Kori came down with the plague a few months before his 16th birthday. When he had recovered from the plague he formed his group the White Cross. The White Cross is dedicated to the safety of the Local Hospitals; with the local Mutant influx into the city their goal is to ensure the safety of the ambulances and medical stations all around New Haven. They always are hired Mutants and humans who see that the local Blood donations are met. They also want to find out how the plague was created, how the plague changes people into mutants, and how to get rid of feral stage. They also want to help get rid of the mutant and human conflict. He could never really connect to any of his class mates during school, because he was significantly younger than them. He can’t connect with people his only age, because he is drastically smarter than them and is already working. Other then ALL that, his life was pretty normal. Gift/Power: Kori can also create and manipulate ice to his will; however he cannot change the weather. He can create the ice from the H2O in the air and other H2O sources. Len can manipulate electricity in multiple way and magnetic fields. He can access all of the information in someone’s brain by connecting his electricity to their brain and know everything they know and have ever experienced. He can’t manipulate the information in anyway only view and know it. Fear/Curse/Sickness: Kori has multiple personality disorder; he has two personalities. Kori (his original personality) is more allied with his Ice powers. Len is an electricity demon that enjoys killing and torturing any living thing near it. There are no warnings signs before Len takes over, however after the takeover Kori’s eyes turn red. Kori fears the takeovers from Len and is paranoid knowing that they could happen any second. Kori suffers from the following fears; the fear of snow (chionophobia), the fear of nosebleeds (epistaxiophobia), the fear of sleep (somniphobia), and the fear of fire (pyrophobia). Len also suffers from all these save somniphobia. Kori hides his fears very well, but Len tends to be more outward about them. Kori generally becomes colder and more distant when he comes in contact with the perfection of snow, nosebleeds, or sleep, but will outwardly become a bit more antagonistic if he comes in contact with fire. However Len takes this to the next level by running instead of becoming distant and becoming extremely aggressive when near fire. Len also has the fear of falling in love or being in love (philophobia), so if anyone tries or is nice to him then… let’s just say he freaks out… a lot. Personality: Kori is nice and polite to everyone no matter their status or whether they’re a mutant or a human. However, he will stop at nothing to get what he wants or needs, from anything. If you ask for his opinion he will give you an honest answer, unless he wants or needs something from you then you never know what he’s going to say. He enjoys being alone, rather than with others and hates being in side big crowds. He never gets stage fright when giving a speech or something, no matter what. If people are rude to him, he will politely get him off his case however he needs to do that. He is almost always smiling ever so slightly. Len is almost Kori's polar opposite, much more wild and uncontrolled. He is aggressive and enjoys killing stuff. He's more like fire than Kori, and isn't very open to words or debate. His mind is stuck in a constant, animalistic 'kill first, question later' morality. However, he more enjoys slowly killing his 'prey', so if he wants some info from the person he will most likely get it from them. Especially, considering his ability to connect to someone’s mind/brain. He is often suppressed and it is very hard for Kori to control Len when he comes out. The only way to Len’s one and only nice side is having a strong magnetic field or magnets. Items: A black ink pen, a notebook, a small emergence kit, a water bottle, a butterfly knife, a cell phone and a small dagger.

[Kushluk Shimazu]

Name: Rebecca Ann Stillwater Alias: Shepherd Age: Twenty-four years old Origin: Baltimore, Maryland Mutant: No Gender: Female Appearance: 5 '8' with a fair complexion, Rebecca is a strong and slender young woman who has deep hazel eyes and rich brown shoulder length hair. Even though she has left the Military she still sometimes decides to wear a set of her dress uniform (without the rank) if she wants to come across as all business. Off duty she is more practical in her clothing; from cargo pants to khaki shorts, to loose T-shirts, or whatever else she finds comfortable at the time. History: An only child born into wealthy upper class family in Baltimore, Rebecca Ann Stillwater has had many things given to her for most of her early life. Therefore, when she chose to join the military as an officer it came as a complete shock to her parents, they even threatened to disown her. Not affected at all the young woman blew past every training requirement needed, graduated from OTC (Officer Training School) with full honors. Her parents happily received her back upon seeing her mold into a strong-willed young woman with her own high standards. When it came time for her to deploy though the experience was somewhat more jarring for her as she never expected to be part of a combat unit. Being assigned as Corporal Raynor’s handler after the Paige affected him didn’t do much to lighten her mood, but with the same resolve, she showed all her life she stuck it through and did as she was told with steadfast determination. When she was given a General Discharge after the few incidents that disbanded the group, she didn’t exactly know what to do for a while. Having never failed at anything she excelled at she drifted away from her home of Baltimore to many cities across the USA in a vain attempt to find herself again. At a seemingly nowhere town in Utah she came across Corporal Raynor again, only this time she followed him after she almost had a fatal run in with some local thugs. Her reasoning is still unknown at this time but she now follows Kushluk as he did with her overseas, perhaps she hopes in going along with someone she still trusts Rebecca may find herself again. Whatever the reason the pair are slowly but surely making their way to New Haven across the Badlands. Gift: N/A Fear: N/A Personality: Almost a perfectionist, Rebecca is someone who is very methodical for everything she does. Not one to sit around she would rather be doing something, as she believes hard work and determination will see through to any goal. She will rarely take no for an answer when she believes she is right and will fight to prove her point until she has cold hard proof showing she is wrong. Though smart she comes across as a bit of a bitch as she belittles others in conversation almost as if it was muscle memory, while she holds herself to a high standard. Rebecca is a beautiful strong-willed woman and yet these traits of hers speak for themselves as to why she has very few close friends. Before the setback in the military she's never had a failure in her life until the military gave her the boot and she lost her officer's commission. Around other women (especially those younger than herself) though she adopts a more big sister role, taking care of their needs if need be and even offering them motherly advice which comforts some and unsettles others. With the exception of Kushluk (even that's rare though) she treats all man as hostile threats to herself and the people she is around. In recent days though she seems more lost about what to do with her life, and for a young woman as driven as she was that drives her up the wall. Per Kushluk's advice who is now her closest friend she is trying to change, but It's slow going. Having served alongside him she knows Mutants are no better or worse than normal humans if handled properly and if society works with them. Taking him up on his offer Rebbeca has decided to stay with him for the time being until she can find herself again and move on with her life. Items: Rebecca keeps a small golden locket around her neck which she rarely shows, which seems to have a picture of a smiling family. She also has a small Sapphire ring on her right ring finger, a gift from her father when she graduated Officer Training School. Also she will never be anywhere without her small Glock Pistol and a switchblade knife for personal protection. Theme: NickelBack - If Everyone Cared = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B50BXlKuHo Picture: Other: Rebecca (like Kushluk) is very proficient in the use of conventional firearms but would prefer to avoid unnecessary trouble if it can be helped. While she doesn't prefer it she can defend herself through the use of SOME martial arts techniques that can disable an armed opponent without severely hurting them. She also loves to cook ... if she can ever find someone willing to try her food.
