She can mold her body into almost any shape, including stretching her limbs or altering them to accomodate various tasks. ◼ Invisibility & Phasing Both powers are reflexive and can activate under stress. She is still mastering control over both of these, and can only stay completely invisible when standing still. ◼ Martian Physiology All of Megan's powers come from her innate Martian physiology. This further includes super strength, durability, and a healing factor. ◼ Telepathy Megan is able to communicate mentally, and link others minds for seamless coordination. She's capable of generating illusions, detecting others, and at a strong push to the detriment of her own energy and health, unleash a powerful psychic blast. ◼ Telekinesis Allows her to manipulate objects and generate protective barriers. She flies by lifting herself telekinetically, but can lose control if multitasking or overwhelmed. - T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ N/A - N O T A B L E S K I L L S & T A L E N T S N O T A B L E S K I L L S & T A L E N T S - S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Emotional Intelligence Naturally attuned to others' emotions via telepathy, allowing deep understanding of social dynamics, even if she misreads cues and slang. ◼ Analytical Recall Years of studying Earth culture, languages, and social behaviors from afar have made her a walking trivia database. - T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Impressionist Thanks to her shapeshifting and media obsession, M'gann can mimic voices, accents, and gestures with uncanny accuracy, though her references might be a few decades behind. She cannot mimic the voice on a 1 to 1 level, but accurately enough that it would be passable in most circumstances. This does not extend to male or much deeper voices though. - | T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... M'Gann M'Orzz was born on Galleon-6, a derelict mining outpost hidden deep within an asteroid belt. It was never charted on official Martian maps, and was insignificant enough to never be investigated. After the civil war that scorched the Martian surface and left the Green cities in radioactive ruin, a fractured sect of White Martians fled. Galleon-6 became their phantom refuge. A ghost colony for a ghost race, housing those lucky enough to escape banishment to the 'Still Zone'. M'Gann was raised by her parents, former soldiers in the civil war staunchly opposed to the Green Martian regime. The survivors on the base taught her to stay hidden, to fear outsiders, and to never trust a mind not linked to her own. Life on Galleon-6 was cold and hushed. Endless metal corridors, lessons delivered through telepathy, and conversations that always carried the weight of warning and venom of revenge. While the others clung to thoughts of retribution, M'Gann quietly held onto a different dream, not of war, but of freedom. Galleon-6's aging comm-arrays, long used to monitor deep-space patrols and other Martian outposts, eventually picked up the drifting signals of Earth. Old sitcoms, music videos, emergency broadcasts, and historical documentaries. The signals weren't meant for her, but M'gann absorbed them like sunlight, keeping them hidden from her distrustful relatives. She learned English before she ever heard it spoken. She imitated human expressions before ever meeting one. In the stillness of Galleon-6, Earth became her secret utopia. At the age of 18, she fled her people, telling only her older brother about her plan. Taking on the name Megan Morse, she arrived on Earth posing as a Green Martian survivor and long lost niece of J'onn J'onzz. He doesn't challenge the lie, whether he believes it or not remains a mystery. In truth, he sees something of his lost world in her and perhaps something redemptive. Now walking among Earth's young heroes after being taken on as the Martian Manhunter's sidekick for a year, M'gann fights to protect a world she loves but doesn't fully understand. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) I have always thought the Martians in DC are fairly underrated characters, and after reading the first issue of the new Absolute Martian Manhunter and beginning to watch Young Justice, I feel compelled to try my hand at doing one of them justice! Primarily I'd like to explore the theme of identity with Megan. I feel like a large part of growing up is deciding who and what you want to be amongst the pressures of family, friends etc. Megan's desire to be a Titan, while being influenced by her White Martian family to spy on Earth I believe creates good conflict and a great opportunity for character growth. A storyline I'd like to go down at some point is perhaps this being discovered by the rest of the team, or just the clues towards a mole in the team causing her to become paranoid and eventually reveal who she truly is to them. The idea of a found family for her is one I'd want to focus on also. She would want to integrate as much as she could within the team and seperate herself from those on Galleon-6 as much as possible, but would feel a responsibility to help her blood family despite her intuition telling her it is wrong. |
