So in the intro post I mentioned that this will be played in an episodic format, the First episode will be called Introductions Are In Order. The gist of this episode is characters being introduced into the rp, and through our own ways will end up captive of the Dogs, there will also be a party going on that characters can be a part of. I'm writing the first IC post shortly

Name: Christopher Abu-Machlouf
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Height: 175 cm

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Physical Appearance:
Attire:
Equipment:
Eye Color: Brown
Physical Appearance:
Externally, Chris is your typical nerd. His already narrow, lean build is further enhanced by the loose-fitting clothes he wears. On top of this is a head slightly larger than perfect proportion allows, adorned with an explosion of disheveled hair. His large, round, thin-framed glasses complete the picture - a young, green techie, fitting the social stigma of his kind.
But the first thing almost immediately apparent is his complete lack of facial expression. According to context, one can imagine him being bored, sarcastic or even silently angry. And when his words do not fit this, he slowly appears more and more creepy. Sometimes, when the effect is especially bad, he looks like a bad hologram, with unfocused eyes and computer-generated face with a generic expression. He sometimes notices this, and attempts to imitate facial expressions appropriate to the context or his mood. This generally makes things worse. And his monotonous, almost robotic voice does not help matters.
Underneath his loose clothes, Chris is built like an athlete. Tight, sinewy muscles cover his body, visible through thin skin almost entirely devoid of fat. He looks like the standard male muscle diagram in anatomy books, if the diagram was slightly thinner and a giant nerd. He is not built for volume, and none of this is visible through his clothes.
When he walks or participates in any other physical activity, the experienced would notice a certain determination in his steps, coupled with balance and control, typical of martial arts practitioners. Usually there is a determined facial expression in this package, so the experienced quickly become confused.

Attire:
Chris dresses with complete disregard for fashion or style, preferring practical work clothes for all events, even social ones. His usual attire is a pair of cargo pants, light work boots, and a simple shirt underneath a jacket made of some tough material. His clothes are usually a few sizes larger than he is, making him look small.
Though if he really could, he'd just stay in his lab coat all day.

Innate & Outward Personality:
Hobbies/Interests:
Skills/Talents:
Chris is cheerful and friendly, and truly believes in every person's power to change the world for the best. Nothing of this comes through when he talks with people - His body language appears to be limited to hands alone, as his voice and face do not cooperate. It is so strange, that people truly need to get to know him before they can understand everything he's saying - especially his nerdy humor which he finds hilarious.
He is naturally curious, and tries to gain a deeper understanding of any topic he comes across, especially through conversation with professionals (who are his favorite conversation partners). His head, by now, is filled with bits of various information that may some day be useful in highly specific situations (Did you know standard water faucets have two different thread lengths for hot and cold pipes so they don't get mixed up?).
Since he had not dealt with any real danger before, Chris is kind of cowardly, and prefers to escape various dangerous situations. Though it would be interesting to find out what would happen if another's life was on the line.
He takes his glasses everywhere, though he's pretty fine without them. He likes the effect they have on people.

Hobbies/Interests:
Beyond his job, Chris has done a little research on every scientific field available to him. He is thus very slightly versed in all kinds of sciences, and may even recognize a term or two in a scientific paper by accident. He is particularly interested in medicine, though so far he has gained only the basic first-aid skills crucial for anyone working in a medical lab.
He tries to live a healthy lifestyle, though he seems to eat more than one would expect. He claims his body needs it. He also practices a kind of military self-defense technique, more for strength and coordination than true self-defense, but for some reason he's very perceptive and the few basic techniques he knows he can perform with near perfection.
Chris is also interested in various military technologies, from firearms to land vehicles and naval vessels. His father's career has left him curious about the world's military tech advancement, and he makes sure to follow on the latest developments and releases, through his father's sources of information. He has fired a few guns in his life, but other than having knowledge of how to operate many weapons, he has close to zero experience.

Skills/Talents:
Chris has a Magister's degree in Physics. His degree was very general and encompassed many different fields in physics, from analytic thermodynamics to relative gravitational analysis. His Magister's was about a new type of medical imaging, the first step towards his chosen career.
Chris is also versed in many kinds of medical equipment, and while he dealt only with specific equipment he will most likely be able to operate many others. He is able to analyze results of various tests as well, on a very basic level (though considerably upgraded by him testing various anomalies he had artificially induced in his body).

Christopher Abu-Machlouf was born in Egypt, to a writer and a military contractor. His father often took him as a child to gun shows and other events. The child took everything in with great joy, excited by the technological complexity and ease-of-use of the various "problem-solvers" he was shown.
His father thought he would continue in his steps and become an engineer, but Chris soon found that what excited him is not technology itself, but the principles on which it was built. Additionally, he was a pacifist, and preferred to advance the world of Medical technology instead of the Military. He finished school with honors, and immediately applied to the best university his parents' money could buy.
Roughly at the time of him receiving his Magister's, his father had a job opportunity in the US and they decided to move there as a family. Chris easily found a job in a large medical technology corporation, and since he had little practical knowledge in medicine, worked his way into a job of medical experimentation with next-generation medical equipment, with varied test subject groups.
Christopher's primary duty was to operate the various testing equipment, which was too complicated and unwieldy for doctors that were used to working with people. He tried to learn everything he could from them, but much of what happened went over his head. He did gain a good idea of how the testing equipment worked, on a physical level, and what the results meant - Since in his free time, he would run various tests on himself, in different conditions (After a workout, just waking up, hungover, etc). He was glad this machinery was available to him, as it encouraged him to live a healthy lifestyle.
One day, it happened. He woke up, not particularly tired, but looking in the mirror as if he partied hard yesterday and was going to pay for it. Through communication with the others, he realized his face was numb - or, emotionally numb. He could do anything he wanted with it, but it would not change according to his tone of voice or his mood. During the day, he noticed his voice becoming monotonous.
He quickly put himself in a device used to measure cardiovascular function. It was a stationary bike-like contraption with many sensors. He would often toy with the life-signs on the screen, trying to force them up or down using his thoughts.
This time, it worked.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest as his heart went from 60 to 160 in 3 seconds. His temperature jumped. His lungs forced oxygen inside with a coarse gasp. His hands, forehead, body became covered in hot sweat. A minute later it was over, after he was sure he was going to die from the weirdest cardiac arrest known to man. A slight but annoying headache was beginning to develop at the back of his head, so he got off the bike and poured himself a cup of juice. A few moments later, he was in front of the punching bag. He tested his strength a few times, his strikes fast and accurate from the self-defense classes he was taking (As they proved to be the most effective for his shape). Then, he forced himself to strike harder. And harder. His muscles bulged. Sharp pain spread through his elbow, to his shoulder and back. The next punch made a small crack in the cheap bag's fabric, simultaneously dislocating his shoulder.
He made it to bed somehow, his shoulder returned to place but his hand almost completely useless. He wondered if he was going to simply break apart at night. He wished himself to get better. He did not want to die. He did not want to die! His right hand twitched. When he woke up the next day, his arm was fine.
Using the tools at his disposal, Chris spent the following months working at day and researching his power at night. He was able to fine-tune his body to make his workouts more effective as well, and made almost inhuman progress. He had chosen not to reveal his anomaly to his workmates for now, fearing that if they made him into an official test subject, he would not be able to advance in his job.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
Physical - Bioelectrical Signal Control
Power Description:
The human body is controlled by decisions, some automatic and some intelligent, of all parts of the human brain. These decisions translate into bioelectrical signals, sent from the central nervous system to all parts of the body. Unlike normal people, Chris has control over many automatic signals, and is able to transmit them in his own body by will, overriding many of its automatic functions.
He also has a limited ability to transmit bioelectrical signals by touch to others. The effects on them are roughly similar to those on him, but can also be quite different, sometimes destructively so. The brain has no ability to transmit these signals outside the body, but Chris is able to overcharge the brain to do so. This takes a heavy toll on him.
(note: Chris does not actually have control over electricity - only over his body's communication signals).
Current State
The commands Chris can currently use are:
Biomechanical
- Strength
- Speed
- Flexibility
- Control
- Defense
Sensory
- Sight Accuracy
- Sight Speed
- Variable-Light Vision
- Hearing
- Smell
- Taste
- Pain Resistance
Internal
- Active Healing
- Adrenaline Control
- Sleep Control
- Digestion Control
- Metabolism Control
Transmitted
- Sense Other
- Heal Other
- Improve Other (Biomechanics)
Other
- Genetic Modification
Future Advancement
- Increased bioelectrical stamina (decrease strain of powers on body, extend duration)
- Increase amount of simultaneous powers used (at the moment limited to 1)
- Increased effectiveness of all powers
- Future genetic modification results:

(note: Chris does not actually have control over electricity - only over his body's communication signals).
Current State
The commands Chris can currently use are:
Biomechanical
- Strength
Removes limiters from the muscles, allowing the body to exert more force than it naturally would. If used for extensive periods or for extremely hard tasks, may damage the muscles.
- Speed
Similarly to strength, allows the limbs to move faster, with the same limitations.
- Flexibility
Allows muscles and tendons to lengthen beyond their limit. This lowers strength and makes the body more susceptible to physical damage.
- Control
Allows higher coordination and more accurate movements. Can be used for accurate throwing, pinpoint firearm accuracy, or complicated surgery (as long as he knows what he is doing). Decreases all other biomechanical parameters.
- Defense
Temporarily hardens muscles and bones, to allow the body to survive higher physical trauma. Decreases speed and flexibility.
Sensory
- Sight Accuracy
Allows clearer view of objects far away, or noticing minute details.
- Sight Speed
Allows the mind to respond to visible events faster. This is like bullet time, only without hastening the body. The higher the response speed, the greater the strain on the mind and eyes.
- Variable-Light Vision
Allows faster adaptation to low or high light environment. Within human limitations, this causes no strain, but when pushed beyond (i.e. darkvision) it causes strain as usual.
- Hearing
Enhances hearing beyond human capability. Works only in low-noise environments.
- Smell
Allows recognition of familiar smells in smelly environment.
- Taste
Food is more awesome than ever.
- Pain Resistance
The ability to ignore pain and prevent it from affecting sensory or physical parameters. This does not prevent actual damage to the body.
Internal
- Active Healing
Enhanced regeneration of wounded (or missing) tissue. Can be used to repair self-inflicted damage caused by other abilities.
- Adrenaline Control
Increase of adrenaline increases strength and speed, lowers coordination and sensitivity in all senses (including pain). High amounts of adrenaline in the blood for extended periods of time cause extreme fatigue. The usage of the ability itself does not strain the body (Within the body's limitation of producing and breaking down adrenaline).
- Sleep Control
Can fall asleep instantly and in any environment. External awakening must overcome the noise within which this power was used (kick to the head works every time).
- Digestion Control
Can, within certain limitation, process barely edible food, and in general take whatever materials he chooses from any ingested food. Cakes are not fattening anymore.
- Metabolism Control
Can hasten or slow down cardiovascular functions. Outside of human parameters, this is the most dangerous power to use, since passing human limitations in both directions leads to death.
Transmitted
- Sense Other
Able to sense and understand (within the limitation of the language used to describe these powers) any problems or wounds that a person has by touching them. Only serious problems are felt. Can be used to detect powers if they have anything to do with health or the structure of the nervous system.
- Heal Other
Able to induce regeneration in subject touched. The subject must be organic and the touch must persist for the duration of the ability. Exerts Chris just like normal regeneration but is generally less effective for the subject.
- Improve Other (Biomechanics)
Able to temporarily improve a target's strength, speed, stamina or resilience. This has side-effects depending on the target, and when the effect runs out there is a short negative effect.
Other
- Genetic Modification
In conjunction with healing, this can be used to modify a parameter beyond a human's capability permanently. This power is very long term, and its results take effect whenever the GM wants. This is basically my character's level up mechanism.
Future Advancement
- Increased bioelectrical stamina (decrease strain of powers on body, extend duration)
- Increase amount of simultaneous powers used (at the moment limited to 1)
- Increased effectiveness of all powers
- Future genetic modification results:
- Echolocation
- Thermal Sight
- Thermal Sight
Limits:
Issuing a command requires a strong bioelectrical discharge in Chris's brain. The organ responsible for it takes time to recharge, and at the moment is limited to one discharge between recharges.
Using a command on someone else, including healing, takes greater effort and increases recharge time. It also damages Chris's nervous system slightly, requiring him to heal himself after a few uses.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
The weaknesses of particular powers are in their description. There are some general weaknesses however:
- Since Chris is able to change parameters humans usually have no control of, he is particularly susceptible to mind control. If forced to use his powers incorrectly, he can hurt himself and even die.
- As most parameters within the human body, Chris's power requires the body to be in optimal temperature. If Chris is too cold, his power weakens, and he loses it in particularly cool environments. He can increase his cardiovascular parameters to warm himself, but only while it isn't cold enough. When it is hot, on the other hand, Chris's power may go off randomly, on himself or on an innocent bystander touched at the wrong time. This depletes his ability as usual. His powers do not discharge randomly while charging. He can decrease his cardiovascular parameters to cool himself, but this makes him sluggish and tired if done in excess.

I'll make the profiles in a moment, but here's the ideas I had for reference and early judgment.
The first is angel, a young man who has to help his single mom raise his brothers and sisters. His a very kind soul who puts others over himself, his overly nice though to a fault, and doesn't know how to fight so that is a issue that will require fixing.
The other is a character based on the blob of the brotherhood only made a good guy. A young English boy who was once skinny as a rail but becomes fat with the ability to become fatter and bigger. The bigger he is the more durable, stronger, ands unmovable he is, but at the cost of speed and mobility. His very shy and timid but does enjoy getting big and strong.

I was hoping to do both if that's okay.
GM
So with the recent post of beginning the IC I was thinking that we introduce our characters and have them all getting ready for the rave in some fashion. From the rave we can interact for a little while which would give partial reason for them to attempt to escape the Dogs, which i'll also be setting up.
Also, as far as initial introductory posts go and then your second and so forth posts go, i'd like it if you waited at least for two others to post before you.

Name: Joesph Stein
Age: 19
Personality: Having essentially needing to do plenty to help his single mom raise his two younger brothers and two younger sisters. Joesph has always been a kind soul who puts others ahead of him. He doesn't possess many things but doesn't feel like he has too, a lot of times giving gifts back or to someone he felt deserved it more. The young man wants to make the world a better place than when he first came into it.
When he gets his wings and ability to fly. Joesph immediately became almost drunk with glee at the thought of flying. It had always been his dream since he was a little boy seeing planes and helicopters go overhead. For him flying is the greatest thing ever and everything he ever thought it would be. If his not in the sky his not truly happy.
While Joesph is a very caring soul he is caring to a fault. Too trustworthy of people which has come back to bite him a time or two. Plus Joesph is very anti-violence, his never thrown a punch, held a knife outside of a kitchen, or shot a gun.
X-Gene Mutation: Feathered wings/Ability to fly: Joesph's main ability comes in the form of the two 5 foot long each feathered wings which stick out of his shoulder blades on his back. He has full control of them and can use them to lift himself up off the ground and fly through the air. His body has changed to reflect this as well. As his bone structure has a more hollow structure like a bird's while maintaining durability, and his eyes are able to see through strong wind force.
The wings themselves can fold up and with a belt tying them against his back can be hidden under clothes. Its a bit uncomfortable though and Joseph hates having to do it.
Photo:
Occupation: College student for the moment being, but only part time at a community college since he has so many other responsibilities on his plate.
Other/Bio A native of Portland, Oregon still living there, Joesph was around 6 years old his world got turned upside down. His father was killed in a hit and run by a drunk driver, leaving his mom with all five of their kids to raise on their own. Immediately though Joesph proved himself as he took a lot of the burden onto his shoulders as his mom had to begin working two jobs to be able to afford. He was fueled by simply wanting to see things be better, better for the family and the world. Whenever his siblings got down he was right there to try and cheer them up. If one of them needed help he tried to be there first. It wasn't just his family either. Wither it was school, or volunteering elsewhere. Joesph seemingly wanted to be anywhere he could help. It has worn him down, and heaven knows he has wanted to rest every now and again. However its just too much of an almost sickness for him. It helps him cope with things when he can at least see others smile.
One day Joesph's sister noticed a pair of abnormal lumps on his back. In a panic his mom had him go to various doctors, who were all stumped as too what they were. He was put on painkillers and was even considered for chemotherapy. However after struggling to sleep Joesph stumbled into the bathroom in a haze induced by a piercing pain. The two lumps had swollen out to grotesque sizes and were so taut that the pain made Joesph nearly pass out. However the two lumps suddenly ruptured, and out from them came a pair of the most beautiful wings ever. His family was stunned, however they repaid Joesph by not judging him a bit. However when word got out about him. A gathering of people have come to visit him. Proclaiming him an angel brought to the planet by God himself. However when the doctors he once visited told him he instead got the wings through a modified X-Gene. The praise turned to fear and hate. With Joesph in a very precarious spot.
Name: Nicholas Brooks
Age: 17
Personality: Nick grew up practically hiding in plain sight of the world. He didn't always like it, but begrudgingly grew to accept it for the most part. His very quiet, usually keeps to himself well and isn't one to be too emotional about things.
With his powers though there is a part of Nick that loves it. Loves being so large and in charge, its all very awkward for him, his still not used to all the girth and what comes with it, and he'll never admit it up front. Nick just secretly enjoys his powers, as it finally gives him the ability to not be so small anymore, and no one can ignore him ever again.
X-Gene Mutation: Mass manipulation – Starting at around 6'3 and 300 pounds, Nick can change his body mass at will. It takes a moment especially if he wants to grow into the more extreme sizes his capable of. Which can be around 8'0 and two tons, however in doing so he loses mobility and speed. Once he reaches 7'7 he can't even really move himself anymore.
Strength/Durability – With the bulk comes power, even at his normal sizes Nick is capable of lifting 5 tons over his head. However the bigger he gets the stronger he becomes as his mass adds to his strength. Along with that all the mass protects him and anyone his protecting to the point where a grenade would only faze him. As the fat in his body would simply absorb the impact.

(At his smallest)
Occupation: High school student, formerly worked as a part time janitor for a London Underground station before the mutation)
Other/Bio Nicholas was born in the depths of London, where even at birth his small size proved difficult. As he wasn't expected to live being delivered early and underweight. It all carried over into his life. He was always a small lad, he was never really picked on in school because bullies never really bothered noticing him, as most others did as well.
When he turned 15 though Nicholas suddenly felt himself develop an appetite that slowly grew more and more powerful with each meal. What would start as an extra apple with his meal would turn into more and more food each meal causing him to balloon in size. His parents worried sick about him took him to doctors to find out it was all a part of his x-gene development. Soon Nick discovered his ability to change his mass at will. It gave him a strange sense of power he never had before and deep down he loved it. His parents have been trying to remain supportive of him. But his eating habits are putting a very serious dent in their budget.
Age: 19
Personality: Having essentially needing to do plenty to help his single mom raise his two younger brothers and two younger sisters. Joesph has always been a kind soul who puts others ahead of him.

When he gets his wings and ability to fly. Joesph immediately became almost drunk with glee at the thought of flying. It had always been his dream since he was a little boy seeing planes and helicopters go overhead. For him flying is the greatest thing ever and everything he ever thought it would be. If his not in the sky his not truly happy.
While Joesph is a very caring soul he is caring to a fault. Too trustworthy of people which has come back to bite him a time or two. Plus Joesph is very anti-violence, his never thrown a punch, held a knife outside of a kitchen, or shot a gun.
X-Gene Mutation: Feathered wings/Ability to fly: Joesph's main ability comes in the form of the two 5 foot long each feathered wings which stick out of his shoulder blades on his back. He has full control of them and can use them to lift himself up off the ground and fly through the air. His body has changed to reflect this as well. As his bone structure has a more hollow structure like a bird's while maintaining durability, and his eyes are able to see through strong wind force.
The wings themselves can fold up and with a belt tying them against his back can be hidden under clothes. Its a bit uncomfortable though and Joseph hates having to do it.

Occupation: College student for the moment being, but only part time at a community college since he has so many other responsibilities on his plate.
Other/Bio A native of Portland, Oregon still living there, Joesph was around 6 years old his world got turned upside down. His father was killed in a hit and run by a drunk driver, leaving his mom with all five of their kids to raise on their own. Immediately though Joesph proved himself as he took a lot of the burden onto his shoulders as his mom had to begin working two jobs to be able to afford. He was fueled by simply wanting to see things be better, better for the family and the world. Whenever his siblings got down he was right there to try and cheer them up. If one of them needed help he tried to be there first. It wasn't just his family either. Wither it was school, or volunteering elsewhere. Joesph seemingly wanted to be anywhere he could help. It has worn him down, and heaven knows he has wanted to rest every now and again. However its just too much of an almost sickness for him. It helps him cope with things when he can at least see others smile.
One day Joesph's sister noticed a pair of abnormal lumps on his back. In a panic his mom had him go to various doctors, who were all stumped as too what they were. He was put on painkillers and was even considered for chemotherapy. However after struggling to sleep Joesph stumbled into the bathroom in a haze induced by a piercing pain. The two lumps had swollen out to grotesque sizes and were so taut that the pain made Joesph nearly pass out. However the two lumps suddenly ruptured, and out from them came a pair of the most beautiful wings ever. His family was stunned, however they repaid Joesph by not judging him a bit. However when word got out about him. A gathering of people have come to visit him. Proclaiming him an angel brought to the planet by God himself. However when the doctors he once visited told him he instead got the wings through a modified X-Gene. The praise turned to fear and hate. With Joesph in a very precarious spot.
Name: Nicholas Brooks
Age: 17
Personality: Nick grew up practically hiding in plain sight of the world. He didn't always like it, but begrudgingly grew to accept it for the most part. His very quiet, usually keeps to himself well and isn't one to be too emotional about things.
With his powers though there is a part of Nick that loves it. Loves being so large and in charge, its all very awkward for him, his still not used to all the girth and what comes with it, and he'll never admit it up front. Nick just secretly enjoys his powers, as it finally gives him the ability to not be so small anymore, and no one can ignore him ever again.
X-Gene Mutation: Mass manipulation – Starting at around 6'3 and 300 pounds, Nick can change his body mass at will. It takes a moment especially if he wants to grow into the more extreme sizes his capable of. Which can be around 8'0 and two tons, however in doing so he loses mobility and speed. Once he reaches 7'7 he can't even really move himself anymore.
Strength/Durability – With the bulk comes power, even at his normal sizes Nick is capable of lifting 5 tons over his head. However the bigger he gets the stronger he becomes as his mass adds to his strength. Along with that all the mass protects him and anyone his protecting to the point where a grenade would only faze him. As the fat in his body would simply absorb the impact.

(At his smallest)
Occupation: High school student, formerly worked as a part time janitor for a London Underground station before the mutation)
Other/Bio Nicholas was born in the depths of London, where even at birth his small size proved difficult. As he wasn't expected to live being delivered early and underweight. It all carried over into his life. He was always a small lad, he was never really picked on in school because bullies never really bothered noticing him, as most others did as well.
When he turned 15 though Nicholas suddenly felt himself develop an appetite that slowly grew more and more powerful with each meal. What would start as an extra apple with his meal would turn into more and more food each meal causing him to balloon in size. His parents worried sick about him took him to doctors to find out it was all a part of his x-gene development. Soon Nick discovered his ability to change his mass at will. It gave him a strange sense of power he never had before and deep down he loved it. His parents have been trying to remain supportive of him. But his eating habits are putting a very serious dent in their budget.
GM
Name: Natalie Woods formerly Theresa Rothchild
Age: 21
Personality: Natalie is a stunningly confident, assertive, bold, and courageous woman. Natalie speaks her mind no matter what. Natalie is not one to hold a grudge. Natalie refuses to allow her to be tied down and quickly rotates between relationships. She was on and off with most of her boyfriends and would often go from one to the other when disappointed with their failure to conform to her standards. Though strong and independent, she could become insecure about her ability to handle what she was dealt in life, which prompted her to seek support from others. When she was not able to get the support she needed or sought, she would continue her downward spiral by questioning herself and reflecting on what she believed may have led her to the way she felt.
X-Gene Mutation: Metamorph (can mimic the appearance and voice of any person or alter her appearance and voice as she chooses)
Photo: http://hq.ellf.ru/2006/06/hq/2006-06-16-Alyson.Michalka.HQ.1.jpg
Occupation: Model, formerly a test subject in government experiments
Bio: During World War 2 an American teenage boy with photographic memory unknowingly spied on the creation of Super Soldier Serum for the Germans. He eventually realized the truth and went into hiding. He was eventually captured and forced to give up the formula for the serum. Natalie was captured and used as a test subject. This unknowingly activated her X-Gene. Upon discovery of her metamorphic abilities she used it to escape. She's been in hiding in plain sight ever since as someone else.
Other: As a result of the Super Soldier Serum she has artificially enhanced physiology giving her peak human strength, speed, durability, agility, reflexes, stamina, healing, intelligence, senses, & longevity.
Accepted :) so she's our universe's version of a Weapon X-ish experiment?
Can I still join?
Yes you may :)

Both accepted :) I can see Walt teasing Joseph and calling him The Messiah ;)

Name: Eris Larson
Age: 19
Personality: Eris is a very intellectual person. She likes logic and reasoning, and in general she's very curious. She's a problem solver, who does puzzles and math problems in her free time. Eris is the kind of person to spend hours on a problem in order to solve it. However, when it comes to human interaction, Eris tends to be extremely oblivious. She has trouble conveying her words to others, and doesn't understand why people do what they do sometimes.
X-Gene Mutation: Wave Manipulation
The user can control waves of different kinds, tidal waves, soundwaves, brainwaves, electronic and radiowaves, etc. With this, the user can control sonar waves to enhance sound or even mute them, or cause others to fall asleep by manipulating their brainwaves. The user can also intercept and interpret messages in radio waves, and cause massive tidal waves, washing away anything in its path.
Her current abilities:
Radio Manipulation: The user can manipulate radio waves and frequencies as well as things that use radio waves, such as AM and FM waves, TV radio waves/frequencies as well as waves/frequencies from cell phones, AM or FM radio, Radar, and so on.
Tidal Wave Generation: The user can call forth huge water waves to crash down at their targets, washing everything away in a powerful torrent.
Limited abilities:
Acoustokinesis: User can create, shape and manipulate sound, a periodic disturbance of the medium (air, ground, water, etc) that radiates outward in straight lines in the form of a pressure wave. The effect these waves produce upon the ear is perceived as sound. From the point of view of physics, sound is considered to be the waves of vibratory motion themselves, whether or not they are heard by the human ear.
User can mimic, intensify, hush, and distort, as well warp, strengthen, echo, speed up, and slow down sound, using it as a powerful physical force and high-speed movement.
At low frequencies, sound is potentially fatal to living beings by causing internal damage, while high frequencies cannot be heard by normal humans but can be used for sonar-like effects. Since sound vibrations can travel through the air, ground, water and any form of medium, defense by using physical barriers is difficult. The vibrations can also affect at a molecular level.
In essence, sound is an invisible, deadly weapon and a versatile tool.
