The House of Powers

Now I'm anxiously awaiting everyone's cs.

The House of Powers

Oh and on a side bar point. I mention it in my bio but I'd like everyone to be aware. I am a mother to a young child so while it shouldn't affect my rate of response there may be times I can't sit and respond. Should this occur I'll pop on via mobile and let everyone know as well as give permission to whom ever im interacting with to use my character to move the plot along. I don't expect more than 24 hours to pass without being able to post but I rather give warning in advance than suddenly spring it on you in case of an emergency.

The House of Powers

@wolverbells I look forward to rping with you as well!

And of course as Vocab said if I ever hit a sore point or anything that makes anyone uncomfortable please let me know and I'll go back and fix. When role playing it's important to work with the people collaborating and respect their boundaries. Whereas when personal writing you can be as cringey as you feel comfortable with.

The House of Powers

I think for now everything is just either light banter or feeling out how things might go down. I generally tend to nope away from sexual details just because I'm not fairly confident or comfortable with writing it. Yet I have little to no issue describing someone having their liver eaten (go figure). Needless to say I won't go out of my way to make anyone uncomfortable and will follow the vibe given off of other posters as to how I will conduct my descriptions.

The House of Powers

@Vocab Ohh, okie dokie. That's what I thought but just washed to make sure. Thank you.

The House of Powers

@Vocab I assume tags are done the same way as the little hider tabs? Or just a little note beforehand? I haven't been on this site since the crash years back so still trying to learn all the stuff.

The House of Powers

@Jinxer I'll do my share and try to dull down intense scenes. Though based on Amara's particular power she'd undergo more physical stimulated experiments that put her life in possible danger than being strapped down and prodded. Though the use of psychotropic drugs might come into play. I'll do my best not to be overly graphic.

Appearance
Amara stands at a mere five foot two, her body slim and willowy. While her heritage is mixed she tends to favor her father who hails from South Korea. Her features are soft and delicate like that of a birds; in fact the only thing that truly stands out on the young lady was the shocking white of her locks. A rare recessive gene that passed from her mother's side. Her flesh is almost as pallid as her hair but that was more of a personal choice. She didn't care for the contrast between her lighter tresses and dark skin. Amara's style was simple; a wash of monochrome dresses and general light fabrics. The only featuring colors was the soft pink of her lips and the dark blue of her eyes. Despite her rather reclusive nature Amara tended to draw attention and over time had developed an easy-going demeanor around strangers.

History
Her life was simple, really. She got up for school every morning around five am and would relax listening to music until the rest of the house would stir awake. She was always an early riser which tended to be helpful when you're the oldest out of four. She'd rouse her younger siblings; helping them dust off the remaining traces of sleep and begin her day. Her mother, Korabell, was a neurosurgeon and often out and working late while her father had actually passed several years back in a fatal car accident. Before then he was a librarian. The stark difference between her parents was probably why they got along so well. Her mother was high stress and always on the go while her father was soft, calm and took his time. They balanced each other out. Amara always admired their dedication to one other and secretly hoped to find someone who'd compliment her nature like they had.
She generally took after her father in more than just looks. She was soft spoken and quiet where her younger siblings tended to be rowdy and rough. In fact her nonchalant attitude had earned her a reputation in high school. Somehow bringing her to cool status within a mere week of transferring there. She didn't completely mind though. In fact it was how she had made her best friend; Nova. Nova was Amara's closet companion. She was loud and outgoing- a little brash at times but that's what she loved about her the most. The girl was never afraid to say exactly what she thought. The two were practically inseparable. In fact she was the only one who had known about Amara's odd quirks.
Her kidnapping was, well it was a kidnapping! Greedy hands that grabbed and pulled and bound her. Shoving her head in a black bag as she was roughly shoved to the floor. She'll never forget that moment. As her heart lodged firmly in her throat.

Power
Time disruption:
It started out with small gaps; she'd lose her footing and it was as if everything slowed for a tiny second. Just enough time for her to recognize that she was falling but never enough for her to correct herself. The longest time was during her father's accident. She had actually been in the passenger side when an oncoming car suddenly lurched into their lane. Everything felt frozen as she watched horrified as her father slowly braced for impact. Out of instinct she had curled herself up and in result managed to avoid the dashboard crushing both her legs. Her father; wasn't so lucky. Amara had never had it last as long since. In fact usually by time she realized it was happening it was already over.

@Jinxer As long as its plot related I'm not generally picky about things. The way I can see her character suffer under any form of sexual abuse would be if they were testing to see if her power shielded everything. Even then it'd be done with cold detachment. On the other hand there's lots of room for field tests done on each character and possible tag team or even pitting power against power. I assume they'll view our characters more like weapons than humans anyway.

The House of Powers

@Jinxer Mental and physical torture in the name of science! Which generally leads to being strapped down while various objects attempt to peel back fleshy bits and stab at random areas. Can't forget to test how well the powers work when under stress or sleep deprivation. Though you never know when a pervy scientist with a taste for lollis might rear their ugly heads.
