Name: Violet Geiger
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance:
Personality: She often comes across as being a very serious and somber person, and refrains from speaking except when necessary. However, for someone who seems like she dislikes people, she has a strange tendency to try and stick around them, even if she doesn't say much. This is because Violet's powers are linked to her mental state, and she doesn't have a lot of control over them when she's upset, so she tries to keep somewhat distant from people to avoid harming them. However, at the same time she yearns for closeness to other human beings and feels horribly lonely in her self imposed isolation, causing her to become somewhat fixated on anyone who does reach out to her. She does get around this problem somewhat due to the magic of social media, but she still craves more direct contact.
When she does start to open up to people, Violet reveals herself to be overly hard on herself. She puts herself down constantly, doubts her ability to really do anything worthwhile in life, and generally sees herself as a burden. She can also be quite obsessive, especially with those who do show her kindness despite her bleak outlook on herself, simply because it feels good to have their validation. However, her clingyness can end up driving people away, so in order to combat this she tries her best to do favours and please that person as much as possible so that they put up with her. Usually they do eventually leave, unless they're the kind of person who enjoys having someone emotionally dependent upon them.
Abilities: Violet's magical abilities change drastically with her mood. When she's feeling calm, her powers are rather stable and somewhat limited. She can heat objects, see through certain types of objects (like thin walls) and can generate electricity within her body that she can use to power various electronic devices by touching them. However, when she becomes upset, her powers become quite violent. She gains the ability to create radioactive explosions, the size and power of which are dependent upon just how angry she is at that point in time. The aftermath of these attacks results in a radioactive gas, but it tends to disappear naturally within a few minutes. This effect can knock people out and make them feel rather sick, Violet included, hence the gas mask.
Skills: Violet is rather fond of rock climbing, and this makes her somewhat mobile, although it really isn't anything to write home about. She's somewhat okay with electronics and coding as well, due to spending so much of her childhood and adolescence on the computer.
Equipment: Her prized possessions are a Gas Mask which she either has on her face or wears around her neck, and her laptop, mobile modem included, which she keeps on her at all times in a bag she carries around.
Brief Backstory: Violet was born as the youngest sibling of three children, in a family that tended to all have similar powers. As such, she was expected, like her older siblings, to be able to control her powers quite easily, as usually this magic had no relation to the individual's mental state. However, Violet's magic was defective, and around the age in which she should have been in control, she simply found she couldn't. Her power surged and waned at random, making her parents deem her to be a hazard to other people. As a result, they kept her isolated, homeschooling her, and spent hours each day trying to teach her control, but to no avail. During this time, Violet became increasingly lonelier as the only regular human contact she had was with her family members who were resistant to her magic. So she ended up turning to the internet to find other people out there to connect with, the most important of these being a boy who called himself Ace Jack.
The two became quite close, and although she never told him about her powers, she did say that she struggled with emotional outbursts. Jack suggested that she learn mindfulness meditation and breathing techniques to help her remain calm, which despite being very difficult, managed to help Violet keep her emotions stable enough that her parents were comfortable letting her leave for small periods of time (with supervision). Desperate to try and find some human interaction, she set out to a small park and met some people there who she connected with quite quickly. Every free moment she had, Violet would go and spend time with those teenagers, getting to know them, and for the first time in her life feeling truly connected to the people and the world around her. However, one of the boys in this group started showing signs of interest in Violet. This wouldn't have been a problem, except for the fact that he was dating another girl. She became increasingly angry and jealous, until one day she decided to settle her problem with Violet, and wound up in a heated argument. Violet lost control over her powers, and ended up putting many of her friends in hospital. Seeing how dangerous she really was, Violet decided to leave her parents house and stick by herself on the streets, trying to keep as far away from other humans as she could.
