@pexpleHey, I think you need to upload the picture somewhere, then add the link to the picture in your post.
@QuinnWolfe Hey, thanks! I had to fiddle with it some but I did it!
@Ezka

I have adjusted my sheet with the necessary information.

Also: this is the picture I want to use, but I don't know how to change it to fit the shape. Help?

“I don’t know, Prince Eskel.” Kijani murmured, searching the guards one by one. Finally, she found a small key fob on one’s belt. She pressed it, and Eskel’s cuffs popped open. “Perhaps the empire got to them.” But what could they have offered – or threatened – to remove their loyalty so completely?

Giving Eskel a moment, she searched the guards for further clues. Unfortunately, she found little. Sighing softly, she pulled a blaster from one of them, and examined it carefully for any damage. After a test shot, she looked to Eskel.

“Do you know how to use one of these? I’m going to need some backup.” Indeed, her infiltration had not been perfect. She had several blaster holes in her clothes, and what looked like some burns on her cheek. She gave him time to decide, holding the blaster out carefully.

As she did, she shut her eyes and reached out to the Force. She knew a losing situation when she saw one. Eventually, she would run out of strength, and be captured or dead. If there was anyone, anyone at all able to help, she prayed that they would show up soon.
Jin frowned slightly as they were poked in the chest by an arrogant imp. It actually hurt a little, being poked with those sharp and thin fingers. “Hey! Hands off the merchandise.” They folded their arms defensively across their chest. “You may have saved us, but this could easily be some kind of trap. I’m not convinced.” Turning their head to the side to address the two women, they spoke softly. “Keep your head on a swivel. Something about this place…”

Indeed, even though it was pretty, it was also eerie. The sweat at the back of Jin’s neck had yet to dry, and there was no space to calm down. Inside, they were wondering just who this “Gloriousness” could be. Luckily the imp was a chatterbox, divulging info left and right. Either there were no secrets underground, or this thing couldn’t keep it’s mouth shut to save it’s life.

Jin was betting on the latter.

They let Harriette do the talking, inwardly ready to ask just where “down here” was. But they never got the chance. Subconsciously, Jin put their body in between the new cave opening and the women.

The “Gloriousness” stepped out, and immediately set Jin’s senses blaring. This woman? – Jin hated to assume – was somehow wrong. The beauty was overwhelming, the confidence overbearing. Something inside Jin screamed for them to exit, as soon as possible. One didn’t survive on the street without gaining a good sense of danger, and dangerous people. Even if you couldn’t see the knife, it didn’t mean it wasn’t there.

Jin looked sideways to the two women, whose names they had yet to receive. The taller one looked like she was about to puke, or faint, or both. That was enough for Jin to step forward.

“Sorry, my groveling knee is out of whack today.” A viper’s grin. “You really are Glorious, aren’t you? But if I remember the rules, it’s more polite to introduce yourself first, ain’t it? So… who are you exactly? Does Her Gloriousness have an actual name?”
"You're plenty smart, Roxy. There's different types of intelligence. I couldn't do what you can do with cars and bikes." There would not be much convincing her until she was more confident.

"Goodnight, Roxy. Sleep well." Devika went back to her own room, which was her childhood room that had been updated. The walls were a soft yellow color, and they'd upgraded her bed to a larger one, which was nice. Devika sunk into the soft sheets, and surrounded by familiar scents and sounds, was asleep very quickly.

The next day broke to the scent of eggs and bacon. Devika's father was actually a decent cook when he had time for it, and it seemed he was whipping up breakfast. Devika got up, did the usual morning routine, and tiptoed down the hall to check on Roxy.
What do you mean by origins? She was born with the power but it didn't really show up until she was about 8.
@Ezka Oooh! See, that's what I'm talking about. I don't know either of them but they do match.
@Ezka Thank you. My sheet is just above. I may need help with the recruit thing too, as either Black Widow or Vision stands a good chance of finding her.

I don't really know actors and actresses, so I genuinely have no one in mind.
ORIGAMI




Character's Name, Age Kijani Ryane. 20


[indent][indent]Story: Kijani was born to two wealthy, brilliant people who happened to dislike each other. Her conception was essentially an accident, and her parents married out of propriety rather than love. She grew up cared for by a nanny while her parents worked and ignored her, except when they wanted to dress her up and trot her out for parties like a little trophy.

Her school days were strained. While her grades were always top class, whenever there came an event or show for her parents to come to, they were always “busy” and failed to attend. The most painful of these was a ballet recital when she was 10.

Kijani's abilities come from an old genetic kinesis quirk in her mother's bloodline that skips every few generations. Where before the women with power were labeled as "witches" and "weirdoes", today they are "metahumans". When her powers manifested, her parents were quite pleased. One more thing to make their daughter “special” on paper. However, this alienated her classmates, most of which did not have powers or chose to openly show them.

Her nanny was fired in Kijani's early adolescence, leaving the girl without a friend entirely. She spent her time alone, dancing, devouring knowledge, and developing her power to greater strength. When she was eleven, she was kidnapped off the streets and held for ransom by an organization known as the Alpha Continuum.

After about a month, she escaped and made it home to her parents. From that day on she was never quite the same. She promised herself she’d never let that happen to her again, no matter what it took. Kijani pretty much raised herself after that, while her parents worked. She became an emancipated minor at the age of fifteen, took her inheritance from her parents, and used it to start living life on her own terms.

For the first few years she traveled the world. She spent several months touring Europe, learning languages and absorbing culture. She spent a year in China, training extensively, and banishing the softness of a rich life from her spirit and body. Once she returned to America, she started work on becoming who she truly wanted to become. Having taken 'knowledge is power' as an almost-literal mantra, she began to make a name for herself, stealing secrets and gaining information for the highest bidder. Currently, she works as an informant, and no one knows that the pretty girl working in the local library is actually a wealthy, highly trained genius.

Appearance: Kijani is about 6 feet tall with dark skin, black hair in dreadlocks and has golden yellow eyes. She usually wears tailored business suits and bespoke shoes, and usually wears makeup. On casual days, it’s designer jeans and expensive sneakers. She does wear jewelry, favoring gold over silver. She also hides dime romance novels in her designer purses.

Sexuality:Straight.

Relationship Status Single, open to dating

Likes (optional):Books (especially fantasy novels), dancing, music, wine (she has a very good fake ID)

Dislikes (optional):Rain and cold weather, “stupid” people, the color white in excess (like completely blank walls), the smell of bleach.

Powers/Abilities: Describe your character's powers. Don't forget to describe the limitations of these powers as well.>list]
[*] Paperkinesis: Kijani has the ability to manipulate paper, and control it’s density. She can turn an index card into a razor sharp blade, a book into a brick, and newspaper into armor. She is limited only by her imagination, and distance. Every bit of paper within 50 feet is her plaything, from pages to paper towels.
[*] Specialized Fighting style She also has a lot of grace on the battlefield, her primary talent being evasion and misdirection. Her fighting style is a blend of Tai Chi and Capoeria- moving with the flow of the fight, never stopping. Kijani’s self-invented style flows from move to move, never breaking stride even when she falls or is hit, it simply becomes another move in the dance. Aside from her power and training, Kijani is pretty much human. Cut her, she bleeds. Shoot her, she dies.
[*] PolyglotWhile it’s not necessarily a superpower, Kijani has a gift for languages, and currently speaks English, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, and Mandarin Chinese. She is working on Japanese and sign language.
[*] Information programming Kijani has a specialized computer program that she created herself, that builds information profiles on all sorts of subjects. If it can be known, she is determined to find it.

Recruiting: Black Widow found Kijani through a slip up she made with her computer programming. Some research led her to the area Kijani lived in, and she confronted the young woman directly. Natasha came bearing advice, an offering, and a warning. The advice was how to fix the programming mistake. The offering was to join the team. The warning was that if she didn't, she'd likely be in prison within 5 - 10 years.

Subplots: -Kijani has been a solo act for some time, and isolated longer than that. She might need some help learning to "play with others".

-She wants to take down the group who kidnapped her, but first the team will have to drag that trauma into the light.
