Perhaps as an infant or something, since my parents traveled a lot. Otherwise, nope. Just a bunch of Michigan lakes.
I want to go to the beach! I've never seen an ocean before and I've lived an hour or two from it for nearly a year now. SOOON. =D
Collab, I guess. It looks like that's how this RP is going in terms of style.
If Reem cares to post, I can possibly respond during lunch or more quickly later on.
Sorry. I was not observant yesterday. Work and stuff today but I have tonight and then no work tomorrow. So collaboration soooon.
Name: Remei Lucía Quintana
Codename: Earth Mover
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Position/duties: Translator, diplomatic relations, field.
Race: Mutant
Powers: Geokinesis - can manipulate earth with her mind, which includes such things as lava, dirt, minerals, sand, stone, rock. Remei cannot simply create from thin air, but she can form weapons from a handful of dust, combine pebbles until she has a boulder. She can shape, manipulate, and compress earth. In terms of how powerful she is, Remei can create small local earthquakes or similar, though her goal is to one day manipulate the tectonic plates on a grander scale than ever before seen. With geokinesis, Remei has a bond with the earth: through it she can sense far-off movements, the health of the environment, and absorb surrounding energy from the earth. Though she can cause earthquakes, it's extremely tiring and requires a deep enough connection that, if upset or broken, could cause death. The larger her manipulation aspirations are, the harder it gets.
Personality: Remei wields that utter pragmatism of the mountain people, though she can sometimes get her head lost in the clouds. She mimics the earth in being a solid, steady type with an unshakable foundation. Her temper is seldom seen, but when finally roused is rather ugly. She has little care for the smaller, inconsequential details of a person and therefore becomes lost in the overly emotional state of politics - but when she does become involved, she can get quite impassioned. Although she has a sense of humor, Remei can be terribly serious and literal enough to miss even obvious jokes. She can be painfully polite and has a smooth, easy way of behaving among others that often lowers their guards around her.
Why did you join?: Wrong place, wrong time, and nobody is meddling with my mind.
Preferred method of using powers: Remei doesn't use her powers often and less so while among others, but she has spent time making shields from compressed rock and manipulating them to move around her. She can create veritable forcefields of lifted, spinning earth matter round and round her until she's not clearly visible. Being able to remove and guide specific items from such chaos took a while to master and is something she's only ever done while utterly alone. Among others, it's smaller manipulation with rocks or pebbles more than anything else.
History: Born to a Navarrese mother and Aragonese father, Remei was raised in her father's home among the foothills of the Pyrenean mountains with several siblings. Their village, too small to be of note, seemed to exist in its own tidy vacuum sometimes. Though they traded with other villages and sometimes visited Zaragoza, Remei was nonetheless raised in relative seclusion. Despite that, she was educated, agriculture taking the upper hand. When she turned seven, Remei exhibited her first signs of abnormality: she turned aside a rock meant for her skull when she threw up her arms in defense. The altered flight of the rock was seen by her brother, who forgot it briefly while bloodying the other boy, only to bring it up with their father later.
From then on, Remei's abilities only grew - she could hide from others in the woods, sensing their movements through the ground and rapidly helding away. Tantrums, mixed with raw and untrained power, causing rocks to fly wild or boulders to split asunder and, occasionally, buildings to shake and shudder. The isolation available higher up in the Pyrenean mountains gave Remei's father the chance to hide her and try to help her, teaching her meditation in hopes of finding a way to control it. Eventually it was sufficient for her family to feel safe from prying eyes and became a boon when it came time to work the fields.
Remei was given a knack for languages: her mind was a sticky piece of paper and other languages tended to get stuck there and, if she pursued them, rapidly flourish towards fluency. Although Spanish was the official language and her first, Remei became fluent in Catalan and quickly became proficient, if not quite fluent, in Basque and Aragonese. A passing traveler taught her a handful of French, but without more exposure and no offered classes, Remei didn't have the opportunity to learn much more. When she turned 10, her mother began taking Remei and two of her brothers to Zaragoza to learn English. Sensing that this new language could be a way out of the mountains, Remei studied harder than her siblings and her knack for languages helped her along. Listening to another language, especially one with similarities to those she knew, was a talent Remei had discovered early on. Her ears caught the words and clung to them and her mind was quick to study and understand, easily training a graceful tongue into mimicking and later knowing the language.
Upon turning 16, Remei grew restless. She had moved in with an aunt on her father's side in Zaragoza and attended her aunt's classes and others for the next three years. Living in Zaragoza was like being in a new world, shucking the rustic fleece for a more silken garb. One day a woman from her own mountains in America came through, painting pictures of Colorado sunsets and similar seasons. Intrigued, Remei eventually followed the woman through a visa that allowed her to enter as a student.
Having been living in America for nearly six years, Remei has sought naturalization and taken up residence in the Colorado mountains.

Automaton said
I'm up for it. Can I call dibs on a character who can control rocks?
I already claimed geokinesis. =x
Repost our character sheets here or no?

I would like to reserve a spot for a character who has geokinesis. I will, of course, be sure to make limitations.
Interested. Will start pondering a CS and post later today.
