Hope it's to your liking!

Talia Jones

Name: Talia Jones. But you can call her T.J.

Age: 19

Appearance:

Talia stands at five foot four and has piercing green eyes. Her brunet locks like to form into curls that are trimmed around her face, but a bit longer toward the back. She prefers to wear loose clothing and her favorite hat, which her mother embroidered a white leaping tiger on its back and a gray baying wolf on its front.

Power / Talent: Physical Class. Animal morphing: She can shift into nearly any animal. Downside: She can only speak in the tongue of the creature she has morphed into. When she shifts back into human form, she tends to retain the personality traits of the animal, and the longer she remains in the same animal form, the more difficult it becomes for her to shift directly back into a human, and the amount of time she retains the personality of the animal(s) increases.
Animal imitation: Even when not shifted, she is capable of taking on the abilities of animals. She could have the speed of a cheetah, reflexes of a cat, agility of a monkey, generation abilities of a lizard… Downside: The weaknesses of the animal she imitates also become her weaknesses, and she will retain some of the creature’s personality for a short while after.

Biography: Ever since she was a toddler, she has had a love for animals, and always seemed to be capable of telling what an animal needed or wanted. Growing up in South Carolina, she had nearly every kind of household pet a kid could want at one point in time or another.
Until she was thirteen, she lived a normal life, filled with friends and family. Then, everything changed when her powers emerged.
A couple days after the development of Talia’s telekinesis and telepathy, her parents discussed the happenings in hushed tones behind closed doors, leaving Talia panic-stricken alone in her room with only her cat, McMuffin, for comfort.
With the newscast about the millions of others who had suddenly gained powers running through her mind, she couldn’t help but wish that she, too, was a cat. Such a simple life they lived, with only the worry of where best to nap to bother them. No sooner had the thought crossed her mind, than she felt as if her body had turned into taffy, morphing and shrinking until she came eye-to-eye with a frightened McMuffin.
That night, her parents, wanting to keep her safe from government and other, less enthusiastic non-powered people, forced her into a reclusive lifestyle, limiting her contact with the outside world until she could control her abilities.
After about a year, Talia finally had a handle on her shifting and imitation. She managed to convince her parents to allow her to attend a normal high school, where she graduated alongside her many friends with few incidents and managing to keep her Psychic side a secret from all but other Psychics.
Now, she lives in her own apartment a couple cities over with her best furry friends, McMuffin and Ronaldo, her full-time waitressing job just managing to pay the bills.
Free of her parents’ watchful eyes, Talia has begun to use her powers more and more, using them regularly to help the non-powered people and other animals whenever she can, regardless of what form that may take.
Though she continues to use caution, the sensation of being watched has been prickling at her nerves as of late. Whether the feeling comes from the heightened paranoia that often spills over from her frequent shifting into a cat, or from a real-life threat, she cannot quite say.

Hobbies: Playing with and talking to her cats, McMuffin and Ronaldo, volunteering at animal shelters, hiking, really anything that gets her out in nature.

Personality: When not influenced by a recent shift, Talia is a kind, caring, and gentle girl. She is highly empathetic, caring for both humans and animals alike... unless they threaten her family or loved ones. Then, even the fury of a bear should cower in her wake. She is an active person who often can’t sit still for long, and suffers from a heavy dose of impatience. She also absolutely loves to take advantage of her abilities, using them whenever she gets the chance.

Role in Sector X: None as of yet.

Additional Info: Though she can’t control them, animals have a natural attraction to, and are protective of, her--from the usually docile to normally hostile--so it’s rare for her to be found without some kind of creature following her around. Because of this, she often keeps a small bag with various cat and dog treats stuffed into one of her pockets.

I would say having multiple talents like Talia's are rare, and would be a little hesitant, you did make sure to also have a weakness for each of those talents, balancing her out very well. She will definitely get Sector X's attention.

@Siaya Dragalorn Move her over!

[Riven Wight]

Oh, well, thank you! :-D

[kittyluna45]

So once @Saltwater Thief and @CodeZX post up their character(s) I will get started on the first IC post.

No rush guys! I want you to be happy with your characters and not slap 'em up in a rush.

But so far it seems @Siaya Dragalorn and @Twhirtley 's characters will be up for first mission objectives. If you guys are alright with this?

[Twhirtley]

I'm down for being a target/potential recruit, I already have a couple things in mind :p

[kittyluna45]

Awesome.

[Kirah]

Much excite

[Riven Wight]

Sounds like a plan! :-)

[Kirah]

@Twhirtley I do want to discus with you on how you want to approach the crossing of Niah's powers with Nat's power. I'm thinking that Niah would be more likely to notice things like a depression where someone is standing and wouldn't all out be able to sense Nat. That is of course Niah would have to be actively looking for signs of Nat's presence to notice them.

[kittyluna45]

Hey everyone!

So, couple of things:

I am going to try to have the first IC post up on the 3rd! WOOOO! But for this, I kindly request that all characters that will be joining us at the beginning of the rp be up by the 1st.

Second, I would also kindly request that once the rp starts that you try to have at least one post a week. I hope this is not too unreasonable. However, I would like to make sure that this rp goes along and doesn't fizzle out, hence the rule.

I do understand life happens, so if you can't join us, I will just put your character to the sideline for a bit. You will always have a place here!

Hope you all are excited!!

@Kirah - Hmm I'm not totally sure on that. If Natasha is only hiding via single sense, aka eyesight and is essentially invisible, I'd imagine Niah would easily hear her breathing/heart beat. If Natasha is focusing on multiple senses, it would only last for a super short period of time as is, and likely wouldn't go exactly noticed by Niah. But the "depression" area would make sense, since there are more than the 5 basic senses, and odds are those are strengthened in Niah even if she doesn't realize it/actively use them. So perhaps she'd get weird vibes and such when near Natasha when fully hidden.

But I'm open to interpretation :P

[Kirah]

Ah okay I thought Natasha's power covered all senses at once all the time. That makes more sense, and I'm cool with it working that way for the two of them.

[kittyluna45]

I am going to put up a list of who's starting in Sector X and who isn't for clarification now. Lol.

As for P1X1E, feel free to move her over @McHaggis. However, I will wanna have a talk with you before this starts up, since Pixie's power will attract some... interesting friends.
