Sorry about the delay.

Let me know if I need to make changes.

Kassandra Northman

“Anyone for cookies?”

Name: Kassandra Northman

Position: Overseer of Phobos Town

Gender: Female

Age: 32

Personality: Kassandra is sweet and gentle-seeming. She is the type to patrol the town with the rest of the Dragon Busters and their Pokemon, making sure everything is going smoothly. Newcomers to town usually find themselves invited to iced tea and homemade fresh baked cookies. Behind her back, some people consider her the “Mom Type.”

Those people have never seen her battle.

She is a brilliant and cunning Trainer, her Fighting Pokemon at the ready.

Appearance: Kassandra is dark skinned and full-figured, with thick white hair worn short, and orange eyes. She is usually wearing a utility skirt and a green top, with heavy hiking boots. When the town is in danger, however, you’ll find her in full Dragon Buster uniform consisting of a rich purple top and sturdy khakis. She carries a thick fighting bo with 5 Pokeballs in it. The sixth slot seems to be empty.

Background: Kassandra has been through quite a lot in her time. While she doesn’t talk about most of it, even the fact that she’s not native to the Kaida region. Those in the know will mention her being from somewhere in Kalos. She came to Kaida as a young adult chasing a dream of finding her missing father. Soon after settling in Phobos, she joined up with the Dragon Busters. It took her a long time to work her way up the ranks. By the time she was 30, she was able to unseat the current leader and take her place at the top.

Her specialization is dual type Fighting Pokemon, who will throw off unsuspecting trainers thinking that they can roll in and walk all over her with Psychic types. As soon as she steps into a Pokemon arena, her gentle nature vanishes as if it were never there. She’s not afraid to put the fear of Arceus into those who are unprepared for the harshness outside of Phobos. Indeed, her challenge has sent more trainers packing than she cares to admit, but she’d do it all over again if it meant keeping someone from the harsh wildness outside her city.

@Chev Hey, where'd you get the awesome art?

Tiny and the Terminator [Mistress Dizzy & Shifter_Master]

Despite not yet knowing if she liked this girl or not, Jinny was intrigued. She had a sudden urge to play games of chance with Jinx, to experiment, to see exactly how her ‘bad luck’ worked and what it could really do. But that would have to come later.

“Okay, I’ll remember all that.” She was going to have to check the calendar for the next Friday the 13th. Maybe she’d have to stay with Otou-san if there was one soon. As Jinx asked her question, not about her, but about her father, she felt a little annoyed. Of course she’d only care about him. Just like everyone else.

But they’d know her name soon enough.

Letting out a little irritated huff, she decided to be honest. Maybe it would discourage Jinx from her dumb idea of intruding on their lessons. “Sensei is a great teacher, but he’s not nice. Like, I know he’s going it somewhat easy on me, because otherwise he’d literally kill me. But he’s not afraid to hit me when we’re sparring. I’ve never won, because he doesn’t mess around.” Something about ‘a hundred lessons in defeat’ or something. “Hiding the bruises and going to regular school was a trick.” But at least she’d learned the best places to hit someone and not make it show.

“Besides that…” She shrugged. “He does his thing and I do mine.” That wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t quite true either. Slade did leave her to her own devices more often than not. But he was also there when she had trouble. When one of her experiments had gone wrong and she had to work it out. When she threw her English homework across the room in frustration. When she had the usual nightmare and didn’t want to go back to bed. He was an excellent choice as far as fathers went. But she wouldn’t trust that knowledge with anyone. She just wanted to make him sound scary and cold. So she continued.

“When I said you can’t keep up, I meant that. I’ve been doing this since I was a little brat. You’d probably get hurt pretty bad. So you should drop it.” Realizing this was a bit more bitchy than she’d intended, she sighed.

“Look. I think I'm about done. I spent most of the day getting fucking stared at like a weirdo and I’m over it. So I’m going to give the bed a test run.” Jinny retreated to her own room, closing the door and leaning against it. So far, the day had been… interesting. But not all bad. Tomorrow was going to be the real test.

She got dressed for bed, crawling in not soon after and dropping into an exhausted sleep.

-

The next morning, Jinny realized that her suitcase had been dropped off at some point. Which was good, because she needed a fresh uniform. Half an hour later saw her showered and dressed, with her hair braided back as usual. The necklace was still around her neck, and she hid it under her shirt. She peeked out of her room into the shared space, and saw that Jinx had get to get up. Good.

She gathered her things into a brand new purple backpack, made sure she had her keycard, and slipped out the door toward the cafeteria. The first class for today was open, reserved for testing purposes, and she wanted to get into a higher math.

Hopefully Sanctuary

Devika noted that Roxy was starting to relax more and more. She was very pleased about that. It was good that her friend was having some fun. She seemed to be taking the lead, and Devika was happy to let her experience everything she never had.

“Goldfish sound fun! Let’s go!”

It seemed that the goldfish scooping game was based on a traditional festival game in Japan. Thanks to the internet, it had crossed the seas and wound up at the park.

They all tried eagerly to catch the elusive orange fish. Devika’s luck was no good, however. Animals tended to avoid empaths, so all the fish swam away even faster than they usually would. Mara didn’t catch anything either. Tim had the best luck – his calm demeanor and steady hands netted them two fish. Since neither of them were interested in pets, they wound up giving them away to nearby children.

Star Wars: A Legend Reborn (Nobodyman123 and Mistress Dizzy)

Kijani did not like the idea of leaving Adam behind. But, she recognized the cold logic and wisdom in it. “I disagree about leaving you. But I’m sure you know what you’re doing and how to escape.” As soon as Eskel left the room, she went to Adam and leaned her head against his chest. She was breathing deep, in an effort to quell her fear. She gently poked him in the chest, smiling a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. Those eyes held sheer worry.

“If you get hurt, you’ll make me mad. I don’t think you’ve ever made me mad. Trust me, you won’t like it.”

Her smile dropped as she ran a hand across her face. “...Come back to me in one piece, my love.”

Young Justice

-With assistance from @canaryrose-
Location: Metahuman Youth Center
Interaction: NPC

After spending some time venting about other people having the easy kind of powers with Raquel, Kassy realized that she was getting overheated. Even if the center had air conditioning, New Mexico’s dry heat seemed to be sucking the moisture straight from her skin. Dehydration could put her in jeopardy. Not to mention it would mean she’d ruin another mission. She politely excused herself and headed for the pool.

Once there, she removed and folded up the sweatshirt, careful to hide her shrunken staff, wiping a sheen of sweat from her forehead. She kicked off her shoes and dunked her legs into the cold pool with a sigh of relief. Out of the corner of her eye, she stopped Zachary’s blinding blonde head. He seemed to be making friends himself. Or boyfriends. It was hard to tell with Zach.

As Kassy took her dip into the pool, a whoop came from behind her and a boy entered her field of vision, dashing at the pool. He leapt in. “CANNON-BALL!” A big splash followed his dramatic entrance, soaking Kassy from head to toe. As he surfaced, he opened his eyes- and widened them at the sight of the girl he had just soaked. Fuck. He swam over, a guilty look on his face.

“Shit, I’m sorry,” he said. The boy was tall, with lean muscles and light brown skin. His dark hair was tied back into something between a man bun and a ponytail, and a light blush dotted his face along with a few stray freckles. His green eyes cast back and forth. Six slits on his neck- three on each side- flared as he spoke. “I really should start looking before I jump. I’m Riley. Need me to grab you a towel?”

Kassy stared at the offending boy through her dripping red hair, scowling faintly. But then, she realized she was actually a lot cooler this way and decided not to fuss. “Hi Riley. I’m Eveline. Yes, a towel, please.” She hoped Viktor wouldn’t be too angry about his sweatshirt smelling like pool water.

Riley climbed out of the pool, still looking like a scolded puppy. He made a beeline for the towel rack and draped it over Kassy’s shoulders before getting back into the pool. He didn’t jump this time.

She tried not to look too curious, but she’d never seen a human with gills before. Her illusion deep-green eyes looked him over. Raquel hadn’t had much to say about missing kids. She said there were ‘too many people and she ignored most of them’, so using her for leads was out. Maybe this boy would know something of use.

Once she was handed her towel, she mopped off her wet face and body before he looked too closely at the way her skin was absorbing the water. “So… assuming those gills work, I have a pretty good idea of your power.”

Riley rubbed his gills, looking a little self conscious. He chuckled. “Yeah man, they’re a little ugly, aren’t they? It’s not that cool. I just breathe underwater- I can’t even do magic like Aquaman or whatever. But it’s chill.” He hung his hands on the side of the pool, staring at ‘Eveline’. “So, Evy, what’s your thing?”

Evy? Kassy gave him a tilted look but decided to ignore the overly familiar nickname. "My thing is… Hypnosis. And no, I will not demonstrate." She decided to head off that line of questioning before it could start. Trying to relax and play nice, she offered up a smile. At the very least, this boy was nice to look at, and friendly. It made things easier.

"I'm sure there's a lot you can do with being able to breathe underwater. Maybe marine biology or something?" She shrugged vaguely. "You're not the only one who doesn't know what to do with their power."

She trailed her hand loosely in the water. "So, how long have you been here?"

Riley also shrugged, almost in a playful imitation of her. “Erm, I got here… Monday… so Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday…” he counted off the dates on his hand. “Like, a week maybe. I’m from California. You think my thing would be useful out there, but it didn’t go over so well.”

He decided to strategically ignore the hypnosis thing, instead hopping up on the side of the pool and taking a seat next to her. “But you probably got here today, huh? You kind of have that look.”

Darn. He'd only been here a week. Riley probably wouldn't know much of anything. Still, it would be strange to suddenly cut the conversation short. She continued on.

"Well, there isn't much water out here, so I would imagine it-" Kassy stopped mid sentence to gaze curiously at Riley. "Wait. What look? I have a look?"

“Oh, just the new look. I can’t really describe it, it’s just… the look. You stare at everything, you look kind of uncomfortable… not that you look uncomfortable. You look, um, nice. Not nice like pretty- I mean, you are pretty- not that I’m objectifying you- you look nice like, uh, not mean.” A blush climbed Riley’s cheeks. “Sorry.”

Kassy watched with some amusement as Riley fumbled through his sentences. There was a compliment in there somewhere, and she went a little red herself. “I understand. And thank you. You… look nice as well.” She rubbed the back of her neck, her thumb brushing over her marking in a subconscious way. It was still weird to have conversations with strangers her own age, mission or no.

“Is there a lot of turnover here? People arriving, and leaving all the time? Or are we the first new people in a while?”

“Hm?” Riley seemed briefly distracted but was brought back with Kassy’s question. “Yeah, totally. This place isn’t really permanent for a lot of people as far as I can see. It’s somewhere we come when we first find our powers, or are having trouble with them… a lot of people just come here during the summer to chill. It’s like, uh, Camp Half Blood.” He looked away, looking embarrassed. “Shit. You probably don’t know what that is. Never mind.”

Kassy smiled a little bit. “Those books about children of Greek gods? I’ve read a few. I do hope this place is a little less adventurous than that.” But of course, it wasn’t. Not with boys going missing. “Have you made many friends?”

He flashed a toothy grin. “Yeah. There are a lot of cool people here. Have you?”

“At the last place I was at, I thought I was making friends. Then my stupid power messed everything up.” A dimness crept into her eyes, and she quickly pushed it away. “Perhaps I’ll have better luck here?”

“I think you might.” Riley knew there the MYC was the only one of its kind, but he pushed that inquiry away. “Everyone has stupid powers that fuck things up here. You’ll fit right in.”

Kassy felt the sudden urge to snap at Riley. What would he and his gills know about it? As far as she was concerned, he’d won the jackpot! “I-” She exhaled slowly. “One can only hope.”

Riley felt the aggression coming off of her and he shifted away ever so slightly. “... Sorry.”

Realizing that her anger might have been noticed after all, she smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry as well. I’ve been through a lot lately.”

“Oh. I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. You don’t have to apologize.” It was all her fault, anyhow. She looked back at the complex in a distant way. “I suppose I should go mingle.” She stood up and flashed a smile at Riley. “See you later.” And she walked off to go back inside.

Is there a profile sheet?

Young Avengers: Secret Wars

@CaptainManbeard Definitely an OC. A young lady with a unique ability. And a sword, which I suppose isn't that unique.

Young Avengers: Secret Wars

I'm curious but confused. Is this canon characters?
